Angel of Light (A Zak Bagans Story)

Chapter 67: Dracula's Birthplace

Chapter 67: Dracula's Birthplace

The rest of our flight to Transylvania had been pretty uneventful after my "psychic drawings" episode. Zak and Aaron had started fooling around and teasing each other again, doing their best to make Cheryl and I laugh, although it was more difficult for me to be carefree for the rest of the flight. I kept worrying about what these attacks were.

Did they mean there was something physically wrong with me? Or was it just some sort of "gift" I had. It certainly didn't feel like a gift, especially since I had experienced periods of time without any recollection at all. What if I had an attack during a time that could endanger my life? Like while I was driving?

I had tried my best not to think about it, but I was pretty sure Zak knew I was worrying, because he kept taking a hold of my hand from time to time. And at one point, when I decided to try to sleep for a few hours, Zak had stopped me from trying to get comfortable in my seat, and had wrapped an arm around me and pulled me close, letting me rest my head on his shoulder.

Once we had landed and arrived at our hotel, we had spent the rest of that day, and the next, just hanging out at the hotel, recovering from the long flight, and preparing for the lockdowns to come.

Two days later...

Zak, Aaron and I were standing outside a restaurant, named "Casa Vlad – Dracul", in Sighisoara, Transylvania – the birthplace of Vlad Tepes.

Zak was wearing a black, short sleeved, buttoned down shirt and a pair of black jeans. Aaron was wearing a t-shirt with red and black blended together over the entire shirt, and a pair of dark blue jeans.

I had decided to dress simple for the day, since I knew we would be visiting several locations, so I had chosen a pair of black, form fitting, jeans, with a black tank top. My makeup was done up in it's usual way, but I had put my hair up in a braided ponytail for a change.

Because the building we were filming at was said to be the actual location of Vlad Tepes birth - and had a room dedicated to him on the second floor - we had decided to start our investigation here.

Outside, there was a sign shaped and painted in the form of a vampire for advertising. There were also some tables and chairs for outdoor dining, but everyone seemed to have decided to eat inside today.

While we were filming here, Jay, Billy, Ashley and Cheryl were sightseeing nearby.

After filming outside for a bit, the three of us had moved inside.

Aaron and I were standing a few feet apart, filming Zak as he talked about vampires.

"In my books, a vampire, is a mortal, that...dies his first death, and then his soul lives on, undead, as a vampire. So, you never really know if Dracula – Vlad Tepes – is living on the other side as a 'vampire'," Zak explained, making quotation marks with his fingers, then motioned for us to follow him.

I followed Zak with my camera trained on him as we made our way through the restaurant to a set of narrow stairs. Aaron followed along behind me, filming different décor of the restaurant as we walked.

As we reached the stairs leading to the room Vlad Tepes was supposedly born in, I could see and sense Zak's excitement increasing ten fold. This was the first time any of us were seeing this room, as we hadn't checked it out beforehand. Zak wanted our first reactions of seeing the room to be caught on camera.

I smiled to myself as I filmed him talking as we started up the stairs.

"This is it, this is where it all comes down too," Zak said, looking briefly into the camera as he started climbing the stairs, holding onto the railing with one hand.
