#3 – Elizabeth Bathory – The Blood Countess
Hungarian Countess Erzsebet Bathory is said to have tortured and killed around 650 victims. Bathory believed that bathing in the blood of virgin girls would keep her eternally youthful and so she lured her victims under the false pretence of giving them an education. She would leave her victims naked in the snow so they would freeze to death and is said to have tortured them by sticking needles into their lips and fingernails.
