If they found out, you would have to hide and that's what you did, the village condemned you as a witch, not that you weren't they were just not meant to find out. Running through the forest, you found a castle? How could you never saw such a thing before, how? Maybe is abandoned? You excuse yourself on entering, looking around the dark place, with some candles.

Not knowing the owner of this castle is the Prince of the Dead; Bram Stoker.

Just the mind the eyes and weird feeling on you.
