i believe it was in the graveyard of st mary's church in whitby that Bram Stoker was inspired to write Dracula

Dracula landed at Whitby in the form of a dog ..in the book ..as for his grave I shouldn't think he would keep still long enough to have one ..all that coffin hopping to bite people ..he must be worn out .They do say he is buried in St Marys Churchyard ..but of course it's a load of old piffle ..nobody has found his grave yet but he has done an awful lot for Whitby as a resort !

My friend Bob (Count Von Hamilton) avid Dracula fan and Van Helsing lookalike says that according to Bram Stoker's book Dracula has to sleep in earth from his homeland i.e. Transylvania, which he carries around with him in boxes. However when he arrives in Whitby in the form of a dog/wolf the boxes of earth haven't been unloaded so he sleeps in the grave of a suicide because it is unconsecrated ground.

In effect his grave is at Castle Dracula in Translyvania where he has an ornate tomb, but it is also portable. At the end of the book he is killed in the courtyard of his castle - so, again, that is his grave.

However if you mean Vlad the Impaler - also known as Vlad Dracula - then his grave is supposedly in Snagov Monastery in modern Romania!

Listen to that, children of the night!
