Divinely selected places have secrets and mysteries within them that cannot be explained. They are found around the world in the most obscure corners. Hand-picked extraordinary places have been curated so that you can divulge into their wonder. With awe, we will then explore them … together. 

Mysterious Adventures Tours is proud to offer you a once-in-a-lifetime journey to Romania, in celebrating the birth dates of two Vampiric Masters ... Bram Stoker and Vlad Tepes III (The Impaler), both born on November 8th! 

“I am Dracula, and I bid you welcome …  to my house.
Come in, the night air is chill, and you must need to eat and rest.”
— Bram Stoker, Dracula

Almost entirely due to Dracula, Romania has long been associated with horror and darkness. Just the name Transylvania conjures up an image of romantic darkness. Deep valleys, beautiful mountains, and a legacy of death. If any country is haunted, Romania is. Imagine tracing the steps of Vlad Tepes III Drăculea, The Impaler. 

On this tour, we dedicate our explorations and honor Bram Stoker (The Author) and Vlad Tepes III (The Impaler), both born on the same day of November 8th. 

James Annitto, whose demonology and paranormal investigation skill will take this experience to another level, will guide you through this magical trip! Our group will start in Transylvania and follow secret trails of Romania. Be introduced to Romania’s most historically haunted, many a significant part of Vlad's journey through his life.

It has become a very popular place for Romanian witches as well as others from all over the world who have made the pilgrimage to visit the powerful pond. The pond is rumored to contain great energy that causes any spell to be cast near it to cast successfully. This is why the site is popular amongst the Wiccan and why it is visited on sacred celebration days.
