What the creator captured
Travel Channel explored the myths of Transylvania, discovering that the famous Bran Castle had almost no actual connection to the historical Vlad Dracula. The journey took a turn toward the macabre and traditional as they visited a cemetery that mocks death and participated in a visceral rural pig slaughter. Despite the logistical chaos of a broken-down car and a companion's back injury, the creator found the persistence of ancient customs in Maramures to be the most striking aspect of the trip.
