Warning: This article contains elements that might be disturbing to some readers.
Elizabeth Bathory was a Hungarian noblewoman born in the 16th century. She was beautiful, highly educated and she spoke several languages. She lived in lavish castles. Her family lineage was illustrious and owned land in the Kingdom of Hungary. She was the niece of Stephen Bathory, the king of Poland, the grand duke of Lithuania, and the prince of Transylvania. She did good deeds for local peasants who admired her. In short, she had everything going for her.
Then, rumors began circulating that she was a vampiric witch who abducted girls and tortured them in her castle. Later, these rumors were proven true … and then some. In fact, Bathory’s cruelty and depravity were so shocking that they inspired legends that we still hear about today.
Known as the “Blood Countess” or “Countess Dracula”, Bathory holds the Guinness record for “most prolific female murderer in the Western world”. She is alleged to have killed over 600 virgins in order to drink their blood and bathe in it, ostensibly to preserve her youth.
A deeper look at Elizabeth Bathory’s life provides a rare glimpse into the true mindset of the occult elite – one that remained the same to this day. While these grim yet revealing stories are usually erased from history or dismissed as “hoaxes” by the powers that be, substantial documentation about Bathory’s life, crimes, and trial remained intact. Despite this fact, we’ve seen efforts to whitewash Bathory’s story, dismiss many of her actions as exaggerations and even portray her as some sort of “strong independent woman”.
While she was most likely strong and independent, she was a mass murderer of young women. Bathory was also obsessed with satanism, witchcraft, and draining blood from common people.
She did not come up with any of this herself, those practices were rampant amongst nobles and aristocrats of the day. Nothing has changed. Here’s a look at Bathory’s life.
Elite Family
The Bathory family crest. Evil.
Bathory was born in Transylvania in 1560. She was the product of inbreeding between Baron George Bathory and Baroness Anna Bathory. Her family included kings, cardinals, knights, and judges. It also included cruel, violent, and deranged psychopaths.
During her childhood, Bathory witnessed numerous acts of cruelty committed by her family.
From a young age, Bathory was surrounded by people with dark interests.
At the age of 15, Bathory was married to Count Ferenc Nadasdy who became a powerful general. The arranged marriage turned out to be a good match as both of them had heavy sadistic tendencies.
Not unlike today’s elite, Elizabeth knew how to hide her family’s dark side with good deeds.
To please Elizabeth, her husband reportedly built a torture chamber to her exact specifications. And, while he was away waging war against the Turks, Elizabeth kept busy with dark activities.
Monster
As years went by, Elizabeth’s taste for blood became monstrous. Peasant girls from nearby towns regularly went missing, never to be seen again. Some were handed over by trusting parents who were eager to gain favor with the countess.
Once in Bathory’s castle, the girls were locked up and subjected to the worse torture imaginable.

When her husband died, Elisabeth took things to another level.
From a young age, Bathory was obsessed with her looks. She reportedly spent hours staring at the mirror while mumbling strange incantations. After her husband’s death, Bathory became a single mother of eight in her forties. And she was willing to do anything to preserve her youthful looks. Anything.

Downfall
Although rumors about the horrors happening at the castle were rampant, the peasantry remained silent. However, when Elizabeth began recruiting girls from minor noble families, her downfall began.
After lots of political negotiations involving the entire Hungarian elite, the King of Hungary finally ordered Bathory’s arrest. Her castle was raided during the Christmas holidays of 1610. Accounts of the raid are nothing less than horrifying.

During Bathory’s trial, testimonies from witnesses, accomplices, and survivors horrified the judges.
Inside her castle, authorities found a ledger containing the names of over 600 victims. As the search went on, bodies were discovered everywhere on the premises, from shallow graves to hidden chambers inside the castle.
Despite the overwhelming proof against Bathory, she was relatively spared. While her accomplices were tortured and promptly executed by the authorities, Bathory did not attend the trial and was not executed.
After four years of confinement in her castle, died at the age of 54.
In Conclusion
The story of Elizabeth Bathory was nearly erased from history. It easily could have morphed into a fictionalized legend, like many other stories involving the occult elite. Her trial was held in secret in a remote Slovakian town in 1611 and her powerful family immediately sealed its records. There were no newspapers to report on it. None of the ruling families wanted grim details against their relatives released to public scrutiny. Elizabeth was not even allowed to appear at the trial. Instead of public execution, she was walled in alive inside one of her remote castles.
In many ways, Bathory’s life and downfall are highly reminiscent of a modern equivalent: Jeffrey Epstein. Like Epstein, Bathory had connections with some of the world’s most powerful people. And, like Epstein, Bathory lured young girls with promises of wealth and prestige. However, like Epstein, Bathory became too brazen and her depravity fueled rumors across the land. Her incessant kidnappings became a source of concern for the elite as its dark secrets were threatened to be revealed. So, like Epstein, Bathory was incarcerated until death, with no opportunity for her to say another word to anyone else. Finally, like Epstein, all of her accomplices were silenced in one way or another.
About 500 years after Bathory’s death, today’s occult elite remains obsessed with the same horrific practices. Numerous articles on
The Vigilant Citizen have documented the elite’s taste for the depraved, the abhorrent, and the outright evil. Today’s mass media is filled with abuse, satanism, cannibalism, blood rituals, and every debased practice one can think of. This is all by design.
The elite’s insanity used to be hidden. Now it is being normalized.
