Romania is a place not a lot of people talk about, located in eastern Europe it's a quiet place surrounded by trees and dark forests. although Romania isn't as interesting present day, it's history is one of the most mysterious. Countess Elizabeth Báthory de Ecsed (Hungarian: Báthory Erzsébet, Slovak: Alžbeta Bátoriová ; 7 August 1560 – 21 August 1614)[2] was a Hungarian noblewoman and alleged serial killer from the Báthory family of nobility in the Kingdom of Hungary, who owned land in the Kingdom of Hungary (now Hungary and Slovakia) and Transylvania (now Romania), which were areas of Habsburg monarchy. She has been labelled by Guinness World Records as the most prolific female murderer,[3] though the precise number of her victims is debated. Báthory and four collaborators were accused of torturing and killing hundreds of young women between 1585 and 1609.[4] The highest number of victims cited during Báthory's trial was 650. there has even been proof that she would lock herself in the Bran Castle located in Transylvania and drink the blood of the people she slaughtered and bathe in the rest, Thinking it would make her younger and even let her live forever. But the big question we ask to this day is what gave her that insane idea. Studies show that she was a fan of animals and would love to study animals deep in Cugir's forest. But many people believe she wasn't studying animals there, but she was studying this creature. this thing was been spotted multiple times by multiple people from the late 1600s to the late 1900s but no one has ever got a clear picture of it. The towns people of Cugir describe it as a demon, some people think it's just a mutation but strangly no one would say that it's not real. The thing doesn't have a name as most people want nothing to do with it or doesn't think it deserves a name as 93% of the towns people are religious, But the teens that would tell ghost stories about it would call it The Sânge. The Sânge has been described to be about 13 feet tall, have 4 elk like legs that are much thicker and can be easily confused with tree trunks, 2 human like hands coming out of his face, a human like torso on top of his head that has antlers for hands, and a dark cave or crack for a face that you can see it's eyes glow when shined in light. Rumors say that Elizabeth summoned The Sânge by trying Demonic Riturals in the Forest but most likely she just studied it and was obsessed with the beast, watching it kill prey for years and never aging a day. Elizabeth would even do exacutions to random people in the forest that today people are now speculating that she would sacrafise them to the creature. Tying them up to a tree and waiting for it to come. When The Sânge slowly approaches the helpless peasant it snaps his neck with its human like hands like as if it was nothing then picks the lifeless corpse up and impales him with a tree branch right through the heart sucking the peasant dry of blood. Art could be found in some Romanian castles of people hanging from trees just like that. People in the early 1900s were found at the top of trees impaled with not one ounce if blood to be found.
