Dracula slept here

Not much, though:

A Habsburg heir is hoping someone will take a bite of his offer Monday to sell ``Dracula's Castle'' in Transylvania.

The medieval Bran Castle, perched on a cliff near Brasov in mountainous central Romania, is a top tourist attraction because of its ties to Prince Vlad the Impaler, the warlord whose cruelty inspired Bram Stoker's 1897 novel, ``Dracula.''

Legend has it that the ruthless Vlad - who earned his nickname because of the way he tortured his enemies - spent one night in the 1400s at the castle.
