Cachtice Castle, Blood Countess Elizabeth Bathory, and the Murders of Vienna

By Queuebot in Everything Else on Jul 10, 2010 at 6:47 pm

Nestled in a chest of drawers existed a list of names of those lives that succumb to the Blood Countess, Elizabeth Bathory. For years, Bathory’s sadistic killing spree went unnoticed as she left a trail of blood from Cachtice Castle to her abode in Vienna.

In Bathory’s Vienna Mansion, her cellar acted as a sadistic torture chamber, fashioned with a cage of spikes. The spikes could be raised or lowered by using as a pulley. Peasant girls and seamstresses with ample bosoms were locked in the cage, while Elizabeth Bathory’s maid Dorothea Szentes prodded the girls with a red hot poker. Elizabeth Bathory would shout perverse words at the girls, forcing them to be impaled upon a spike. She would later bath in their blood, believing it would preserve her youth.

    Perhaps ‘…by use of a pulley.’

    Meh. Not worth being poked with a red hot poker over.

    Quite right, not a big deal. Although I would rather forgo the hot poker.
