Haunted Romania

Romania is one of the most legend-haunted countries on earth. And most of the stories are dealing with moroi (the undead, or vampires), dracul (devil), stregoika (witch), or pokol (hell).
The stories of the undead are also dealing with the powers of darkness, the unquiet spirits that roam the shadowed forests of Transylvania, and the undead who never rest and whose calls are heard on the winds that sweep down the mountains when twilight falls.
