Highgate Wampyre
Highgate cemetery in London is the legendary home of a recent instance of 'Vampirism.'
Always a spooky place, in 1969-1970 several people reported high strangeness at Highgate.
David Farrant wrote to a local paper that he had seen a spectral personage/image drifting among the tombstones...others wrote back, claiming the same thing. Dead foxes were found, they were drained of blood, with no marks on them.
Police reported that Satanic groups had recently performed outrages within the cemetary...Sean Manchester was one who became convinced that a Vampire was on the loose. A hypnotized girl led him a certain crypt....He broke into the structure late at night by lowering himself down a hole from the roof... he found six empty caskets. Manchester left garlic all around, and prayed.
David Farrant eventually become a necromancer and occultist, pursuing a devil worshiping path. Farrant was arrested in the cemetery twice-once, he had a cross and a stake with him-charges were dismissed. In 1974, he was arrested for desecration of a grave.
Sean Manchester went into the cemetery during the day, broke into another crypt, and claims he found a 'sleeping' vampire and was about to drive a stake through it, but he was restrained by his companions. Three months later, the headless corpse of a woman was found nearby.
Two years later, a dead body was found inside a mansion that overlooks the graveyard...Manchester claims that it was the same body that he found inside the crypt, and he says that this time he put the stake through its heart. Later, Manchester said he saw a cat-sized spider-like creature, which he pierced with a long needle, after which, paranormal activity receded around the cemetery.
Throughout all this, Manchester and Farrant were in dire competition with each, each claiming to be the better exorcist-their competion continues today- both are still alive and offer differing accouts of the events of 1970.
Sean Manchester went on to become a Catholic Bishop. He continues to hunt Vampires and performs exorcisms regularly.
Highgate Cemetery is still a spooky place. During the height of the Vampire scare, a man left his car to walk his dog. When he returned, he found a freshly dug- up corpse inside his car- all the doors were locked.
Passerby often report a tall spectral-looking man lurking within and near the cemetery... sometimes it chases and threatens the innocent.
Highgate....a high mystery.
(needs some revising)
