Angel of Light (A Zak Bagans Story)

Chapter 76: Hunedoara Castle

Chapter 76: Hunedoara Castle

Before our lockdown was to begin, we also met up with a tour guide, Anca Szalaky, who gave us a brief tour of the hot spots of the castle. She was a wonderful tour guide, and had plenty of history about the castle, but it didn't take long for her to get on my nerves. I knew it was probably because of my foul mood, combined with not feeling well, but she seemed to be flirting with Zak, and it was pissing me off.

"Was there a lot of torture here?" Zak had asked, as Aaron and I stood nearby, filming them with our cameras.

"A lot," Anca replied. "We are in Transylvania. You don't know that?" She teased, smiling at Zak.

"Un...I don't," Zak replied, causing the two of them to chuckle.

"You will find out," she said, smiling.

Yeah...I'll show you torture, you bit- I thought.

I shook my head slightly to myself.

Get over yourself Ali...jeez, you don't exactly have any claim on him...especially not after what happened in the Hoia-Baicu Forest...I thought.

This was going to be a long night.

Around midnight...

After we had finished the tour with Anca, we spilt up to set up static-x cameras in four different locations throughout the castle: the Knight's Hall, the chapel, an underground chamber where artifacts are kept, and a torture chamber.

Billy and Jay would be sitting at nerve centre in a room near the entrance to the castle, monitoring the four static-x cameras, and available to communicate with us via walkie talkies.

After we had setup all our cameras and gear, and we double checked everything was running smoothly with Billy and Jay, then the three of us grouped up to start our investigation.

Aaron and I stood near the entrance with Zak, and we filmed him as he did a brief message for the fans, since this was to be a special Halloween episode.

"We wanna tell you all, Happy Halloween. The lights are going out, and we're ready to investigate," Zak said, looking directly into my camera.

I tried not to let his intensity get to me.

"You're coming with us," Zak said, pointing at the camera. "Let's do this," he added, before walking out of frame.

Damn you Bagans...stop being so hot even while I'm mad at you...

Roughly ten minutes later...

Zak, Aaron and I made our way to the first spot of our investigation, the bear pit.

Yep, you read right, a bear pit.

It was an open pit in one part of the castle, where they had kept bears, and used to force prisoners into it and Royalty would watch them get mauled to death. All for entertainment.

Zak was leading the way, carrying a thermal camera we were going to setup and leave in the bear pit. We'd come back and get it when the investigation was over.

Aaron and I followed Zak, filming him with our cameras.

"Where we're going right now, this bear pit, is where they would kill people," Zak started, looking into my camera, as I was the closest to him, as we started down the stairs leading into the bear pit. "They would have the prisoners, or whoever, walk down these same exact steps into a pit full of bears. Where they would maul 'em, chew 'em, eat 'em," Zak continued.
