its just the way he died is really really creepy. But seriously...in Russia for the longest time (not sure about now) he was thought of as the VERY embodiment of evil, and that he had used that evil power to become the adviser to the Czar. Apparently Rasputin prayed and caused the Czar's son's illness to be sick, and he became the advisor to the Czar. But because the Czar didnt release to the public that his son was sick, many people questioned Rasputin being an advisor to Nicolas. Anyhow...there are all sorts of creepy stories that revolved around him...and he overindulged that a lot
