Although the name inspires vi sions of vampires and ghoulish doings, the scariest thing in this town may be the postmaster when he hears truckers panning Transylvania on citizen's band radios. "Yep, when the truckers are going through town and say 'don't stop in Transylvania,' I'll growl back at 'em," said Tal- madge Pearson, chuckling as he adjusted his yellow cap bearing the town's name and a black bat. "It gives them a start some times." There are no macabre tales of death in Transylvania, no un solved mysteries, no unusual Halloween celebrations and no cults. In fact, there isn't much in town other than a post office, combination store and gasoline station, elementary school, cot ton gin, 200 residents and a few homes. But Pearson may feel like a monster around Halloween when he receives packets of mail that people want him to stamp with the postmark of this quiet northeast Louisiana com munity. "I've got 10 large envelopes filled with mail I'm going to postmark," he said. "They send them to me early because they want the Transylvania post mark. I handle about 300 extra pieces of mail around this time." But for the past 36 years he's been receiving mail addressed to Count Dracula or other fiends, so he's used to it. "I've been here for 36 years and this has been going on since then," he said. "I get three or four cards or letters a month. "See here, I got one just today from Germany. It's got the re turn address in Transylvania that was on that TV program 'The Munsters' so they returned it here. I'll just have to send it to the dead letter file." Dead is how most of the let ters end up, but occasionally one will come in addressed to "postmaster" and Pearson will open it and respond — if he feels like it. Meanwhile, he watches tour ists take pictures in front of the post office or the community's sign to prove they were in Transylvania. "A lot of people stop by and say they can't believe there's a Transylvania," said store owner Norman Chappell, who two years ago began selling souve nirs to meet the many requests from tourists.
