Blood Countess/The Female Dracula
Countess Elizabeth Báthory de Ecsed
Hungary
Tortured and murdered an estimated 650 young girls.
She was never formally convicted, but was imprisoned in her castle until she died.
Witnesses say the torture included:
-Severe beatings over an extended period, often leading to death
-Burning or mutilation to hands, face, and sometimes genitalia
-Biting the flesh off of the faces, arms, and other body parts
-Freezing the victims to death
-Surgery, often fatal
-Starving to death
-Sexual abuse
-She also had a cage with long spikes made where she forced the victims to stand while Dorko(an accomplice) would stab them with red-hot pokers, the girl trying to get away would impale herself on the spikes.
Also, as legend has it, she would bathe in the blood of the victims(virgins) to keep her youth.
Her four accomplices were convicted and sentenced to death. Two of them had their fingers ripped off with hot pokers before they were burned at the stake. One was beheaded before burned, and the last was believed to be bullied into helping and was sentenced to life imprisonment.
