Most Haunted Live in Transylvania

Most Haunted Live was filmed abroad for the first time ever, choosing the most notorious of all vampire haunts, Transylvania, as Yvette Fielding, psychic David Wells, and the regular Most Haunted crew searched for the legend of Dracula and examined the history of Vlad Tepes. A sensational three-night special event, transmitted live and exclusive on LIVINGtv, began from Friday 23 February 2007. It was introduced by Seán Manchester, revealing vampire lore and legend, how to protect yourself using antidotes and repellents ― and the only to exorcise vampires.

Hunedoara and Corvin Castle in Transylvania set the scene for this Most Haunted Live transmission. They unwisely (in Seán Manchester's opinion) attempted to make contact with the spirit of "Vlad the Impaler," thought to be the inspiration behind the legend of Dracula.

Yvette Fielding and her team spent each of the three long nights exploring different areas of the infamous medieval castle, where Vlad is said to have been imprisoned for over seven years, and is believed now be home to other "invisible" inhabitants which roam the castle.

Originally known as Vlad Dracula, the horrors of this legendary characters cruelty to other human beings gave him the name "Vlad the Impaler." It was up to Yvette Fielding and the camera crew to search the castle in the hope of finding out more about his life including his birth in this vast open country, discover more about the devastating cruelty he inflicted on others, his imprisonment at the castle and finally his death in the wars against the Ottoman Empire.

There is much factual information about "Vlad the Impaler," of course in Seán Manchester's novel Carmel which some consider to be the definitive sequel to Bram Stoker's Dracula.
