    The Highgate Vampire
    Jan 5 2026

    In this special podcast episode, we go deep into The Highgate Vampire — the infamous real-life Vampire in London panic that began with a single letter… and ended with a Friday the 13th crowd storming the gates of Highgate Cemetery. What if the scariest part isn’t a monster at all… but what happens when a haunted place becomes a headline? We trace the full story from the first “grey figure” sighting to the flood of witness accounts that followed — the tall man in a hat, the woman in white, the face at the gate, voices and bells, even a spectral cyclist — and how those stories spread like wildfire through local newspapers and television. Then we meet the two men at the centre of the chaos: David Farrant — the man who asked the question that lit the match Seán Manchester — the man who gave the fear a name: VAMPIRE And once that word is spoken, the case mutates into something even stranger… a decades-long rivalry, media frenzy, and a legend that still clings to Highgate Cemetery today.
