Case: GG-2026-061
Status: Historic
Documentation rating: A
Location: London, England
During the late 1960s and early 1970s, reports of a tall, dark, red-eyed apparition in London’s overgrown Highgate Cemetery triggered a media-fueled sensation. Two rival eccentric figures, Sean Manchester and David Farrant, claimed the entity was a vampire. The resulting public hysteria led to nocturnal cemetery invasions, grave desecrations, and police arrests, creating one of Britain’s most infamous modern folklore panics.
