Captain's Log

Well if you do the math and figure in a few variables I would say the countess probably used roughly 25 girls per bath assuming she filled the bathtub and didn't bath in the blood of each girl individually. If she used 25 girls per bath then I would say she took roughly 24 baths. Now take all these results with a plus or minus factor of 5-10. Now one must also keep in mind it is also not as easy as one would think to drain the entire 5 liters of blood per body and some bodies have a little more or less. 5 liters is an average after all. With that being said it may very well have taken more than 50 or 100 bodies per bathtub depending on the wastefulness of the, now I’m assuming her servants helped her with this part, person or persons draining the blood. Now if the servants simply cut a major artery while the victims were held over the tub and drained, were they strung up upside down the way a butcher would drain a side of beef, lets say, hanging above the tub allowing the blood to drain wasting less. Still remains the question of how long exactly does it take for the blood to congeal and begin to smell? For I believe the countess would prefer only fresh blood and probably wouldn’t like the smell of decay but then again know one knows.

Either way here is to Countess Elizabeth Bathory she really knows how to kill a party. May her memory live on forever in the hearts of those who knew her.
