Where is Dracula's Corpse Being Kept?
The place where Dracula's body is being kept is unknown. According to tradition, they are in a coffin underneath a monastery in Snagov Lake. Of course when archeologists went to confirm the legend, they found several corpses but all of them had a head - contrary to the well documented fact that Vlad the Impaler's head was removed by the Turks and then taken to Constantinople.
Of course the monastery wasn't completely searched and that leaves room for possibility of the corpse being hidden in an undiscovered chamber. Nevertheless, the legend also states that the corpse was in fact buried underneath the entrance of the Slagov monastery - which was dug and nothing found.
It is also believed that the corpse of Vlad the Impaler himself simply disappeared. When archeologists found an empty coffin with ancient crosses and some prayers, paranormal fanatics were fascinated. The origins of this mysterious coffin are unknown and whether it belonged to Dracula or not - is a mystery.
Additionally, the monastery of Slagov is very near a lake which makes it extremely humid and thus; most corpses decomposed making them completely unrecognizable. Dozens of corpses have been found underneath the monastery, but of course; all of them had a head as I stated above. Except the empty one, obviously.
