\\xa0 From: Irish Clover \\u202a\\u202c Some 411 on Bram: First, he worked in the tax department at Dublin Castle, a government building, in his early working life. (The people of Dublin say he was a bloodsucker before writing about a bloodsucker.) Also, Stoker spent his summers around Killarney as a small boy. If one were to go on the Ghost Tour of Killarney, she would hear of the story of a man who lived in the ruins of Muckross Abbey. The man would be a part of living society during the day, but at night, he would retire to the ruins. The towns people would hear horrible shrieks and tortuous sounds from the Abbey that would last until almost dawn. When the sun was close to rising, the man would lie down in an empty coffin and sleep for a few hours. Lore has it that Stoker heard the stories about the man when he visited Killarney. Also, the Gaelic word drochfhuil (pronounced drak-ul) means \\u201cbad blood.\\u201d I have no idea how much of these stories are true, but the lore around Stoker really adds to the tale of Dracula.

Possible etymologies for nosferatu: A leading alternative is that the term originally came from the \\u201cnosophoros\\u201d (*\\u03bd\\u03bf\\u03c3\\u03bf\\u03c6\\u03cc\\u03c1\\u03bf\\u03c2), meaning disease-bearing. \\u2018s classic film strongly emphasizes this theme of disease, and Murnau\\u2019s creative direction in the film may have been influenced by this etymology (or vice-versa). ) and nesuferit (\\u201cthe insufferable\\u201d). The nominative masculine definite form of a Romanian in the to which both words belong takes the ending \\u201c-ul\\u201d or even the shortened \\u201cu\\u201d, cause in Romanian \\u201cl\\u201d is usually lost in the process of speaking, so the definite forms necuratu, nesuferitu and \\u201cnef\\xe2rtatu\\u201d are commonly encountered (translatable as \\u201cthe unclean\\u201d, \\u201cthe insufferable one\\u201d, respectively \\u201cthe \\u201c).
