00:38Before coming from London, he had spent two complete hours in British Museum to find the Dracula's castle on map,
00:47but he did not get a single clue.
00:51Actually, Count Dracula wanted to buy some property in London city as he wanted to shift in London.
00:59For night stay, he went into a hotel where he was served a delicious dish of chicken, which was cooked in red chillies.
01:09All the night, he could not sleep. There was a strange feeling that something is not right.

01:49An old man gave him a letter which was from Count Dracula.
01:55Things were very strange for Jonathan because everybody was looking him with strange and sympathetic eyes.
02:04And most strange act was a wife of owner of the hotel.
02:09She pleaded him not to go and asked him, do you know which night is tomorrow?
02:15And when he looked with strange eyes, then she told him that tomorrow's night, all the evil spirits will set free after midnight.
02:26So if you have to go, then delay it for at least two or three days.
02:31But when Jonathan replied that it is not possible, as Dracula had reserved a seat for him in carriage, so he had to go.
