      His full name was actually Vlad Ţepeş (read like this: Tsepesh).
      His father was Vlad Dracul. Dracul = Devil

    Your ability to weave the stories together through the lens of history is so engrossing. I’m remembering so much world history I haven’t really thought about since college.

    So Vlad the impaler did have an actual surname besides Dracul. His name was Vlad Tepes (pronounced Vlad Tep-ish). Just a little interesting fact someone might be interested in! 😊

    • @opreasabina4329
      @opreasabina4329 2 года назад +11

      Dracul was his father (Vlad Dracul). Vlad Tepes (Țepeş = țeapă - impaling tool) was the son of Vlad Dracul (drac = demon). And therefore his nickname became Vlad Tepes (the impaler) or DRACUL(a).

    They are also emotionally intelligent & pick up on feelings quickly. Dogs have the mentality of a 2 yr old child, give or take. Mine demands undivided attention & does not like seeing attention given to anyone else. My girl Salem will whine & yell when I pay attn to someone too long, & she will yell & jump on my shepherd or pull him away by his collar if I pet him too long. She's stuck like glue to me 24/7. I love her.

    Wish I had the gift of good narration.. it's not only the soothing voice but its also the energy behind the voice and the involvement the narrator has with the content that makes someone a good story teller. It's absolutely an amazing talent and I admire it. Throughout history humans have always flocked to hear good storytellers, helping us to almost find a state of meditation by letting go of ourselves for a spell while intently listening to a good story. It's no wonder that we find it to be therapeutic. Check out Tale of the Body Thief by Ann Rice on Audible, narrated by the late great Frank Muller.

    I'm so suprised! I thought I'd be listening to creepypasta type stories but you started with a historically factual story about the Moors that invaded Spain; I've long heard of their sophisticated civilization but never done any research on it myself. It's amazing how the cleaned up the streets, brought education to both men and women, along with prosperity and equality! My Mum was the one who told me about them. I'm a huge fan of history but tend to watch documentaries mostly about WWI and WWII, or read about the Elizabethan period up to the Victorian era, so I really need to broaden my knowledge. Sometimes I read fiction about the Soviet era, like Child 44 or books like Shogun detailing Japan during the 16th century, but facts are often far more interesting than fiction.
    I lie... I love fantasy and adventure novels 😅
    Anyways, my point is I'm going to have to save this for the day as I usually only listen to audiobooks and creepypastas to hell me get to sleep (I prefer the physical medium by far, but that's for when I want to escape life by going to another world, not by falling asleep). I'm not sure where this Spainish Inquisition story will go, or what the rest of the stories will be like, but now that you've got my attention I'm going to wait til tomorrow so I can pay more attention!
    I don't know whether

    I’m convinced that “man drilling into a human woman in a dark alley way” story was someone who made a bet with their friend that they could make the most ridiculously over-the-top horror story and get it featured on Let’s Read’s channel. Really, 2 women think it’s a good idea to walk into a dark alley way at night? And they think it’s a good idea to continue walking when she hears a drilling sound? _And_ she thinks it’s a good idea to directly confront the murderous psycho instead of fleeing after seeing a dead body?? I’m worried for the writer’s complete lack of basic survival skills if this is real.
    Not to mention how weirdly sarcastic the writing is. Why are they quipping jokes with each other like YA novel protagonists while they stupidly investigate what the drilling sound is? This happened years ago, so I don’t understand why they directly write dialogue like it’s happening in real time. They’re clearly making the dialogue up to make the story more interesting, if any of this is real in the first place.
    And is the writer not at all traumatized by seeing such a terrible sight? They seem to treat the whole situation like a cool writing prompt rather than a traumatic memory. Everything is conveniently paced like a horror-thriller short film, complete with a bittersweet ending about the main character mourning the victim years later.
    The least they could do is link to an article if this is real. This is an absolutely crazy situation that would get media attention. If this is fake, it’s kind of gross to romanticize such a grotesque situation.

      Yeah, it’s the most ridiculous BS I’ve ever heard on a channel like this lol. It didn’t even make any sense - if she had a name tag, how could she be a Jane Doe? As if something like that wouldn’t be all over the news. I get that a lot of these stories are fictional and I don’t mind that, but come on, at least try to make it somewhat believable.

      Yh like the father said kids can deffo sense things adults seem too lose as we get older I think as we get told the reality off reality we get trapped in the beliefs off the reality that we are told and we sorta loose touch with these senses because I've heard so many storys like this it's ridiculous,or maybe just certain kids seem too have certain senses.. my own little brother rejected my mother for a while when first started speaking properly, saying she's not his real mother and started talking about his past (real life) life.. with all sorts off details about his real mum his 2 older brothers their names the scenery everything...some off the details off things he described it certainly seems that he was serious about it he used too cry his eyes out about it it was really difficult but after a while he just sorta stopped talking about it...the scenery was like an old barn/farm/wooden house and he described the entrance and pathway and fields off plants like maybe corn or something and described snakes being around but harmless ones and just countless details I think he said one off his big brothers was called tucker so it sounds like could have been rural America he was describing..
