Blood Countess: The True Story of Elizabeth Bathory

Imagine, a countess living alone in a dark castle, bathing herself in the blood of young virgins in order to retain a youthful glow. This is the aura that enveloped Elizabeth Bathory of Hungary, a woman who has been labeled as one of history’s most prolific serial killers – with vampiric tendencies on top of it all! But, when it comes to the so-called “Blood Countess”, what is fact and what is fiction? Today, we dive into the world of one of history’s most enigmatic women. In doing so, we’ll hear about royal rivalries that would give Game of Thrones a run for its money and accounts of gore that tie into the likes of Vlad the Impaler.

Haunted History is produced by SoundBite Studios with host Megan Alda and writer/researcher Chloë Kibbe.
