Video: The Vampire Princess

Just a quick note to let you all know that the Smithsonian's YouTube channel features a fascinating documentary about a noblewoman who was accused of vampirism. The program runs 53 minutes, and is well worth watching for those of you who are interested in the history of the undead.

The official description for the program reads: "While Dracula is the name most people associate with vampires, a graveyard in the Czech Republic has revealed that it may have been a princess, not a count, who was the inspiration for that dark tale."

The documentary can be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqTOTIrfMrM .
