We're actually in
Highgate Cemetery in London.

One of the most haunted
cemeteries in the world.

We're just all lights out.

What's that?

We are paranormal
thrill seekers.

We know we're not allowed
to be here filming.

We pay for a tour.

I'm waiting for the perfect
moment to sneak off,

so that we can start
our own investigation.

[ominous music playing]

[Alex] Guys,
we have found the Mausoleums.

I'm gonna walk pretty fast

and we're gonna do
our little EVP session.

I've never seen
something close, mate.

Can you state your name
to us, please?

Hello?

Show yourself behind me.

I can't see you.

Let's see if he does it.

Touch the gate.

Show yourself behind me.

What the [bleep] mate!

-I'm not even joking, mate.
-[Tony] What?

[Alex] You're not see that
behind me?

[Tony] No.

[Alex breathes heavily]

-What's the matter?
-[Alex] Mate,

I've got something behind me.

[Tony] Who is it?

[Alex] Seriously.

[bleep] hell man.

Show yourself behind me.

What the [bleep], mate?

I'm not even joking mate.

[Tony] What?

When the entity went past
the back of me.

I could just hear
it's humming in my ear

like someone's singing
that's what I could hear.

Show yourself behind me.

At that time,
I felt cold breeze

and as you can see
on the camera of the footage,

like some ghost past
the back of me,

all the hair stuck up
in the back of my neck.

[ominous music playing]

[ominous music playing]

[David] We discovered a group
of practicing Satanists

in Highgate Cemetery.

They were using the cemetery

to conduct their rituals
at night.

Not just any kind
of satanic rituals

but ones that would manifest
an entity

which would stay
in the physical realm.

There may be a vampire
in Highgate Cemetery.

[Vanessa] Vampire hysteria
gripped, not just London,

but the whole of the
Southeast of England.

but the whole of the
Southeast of England.

Suddenly, vampires were real.

[David] All hell literally
broke loose

at Highgate Cemetery.

A coffin was often pulled over

and a big iron stake
step through into the coffin.

Nobody killed a vampire

but the story
of the Highgate Vampire

is very much alive.

[ominous music playing]

I am David Farrant,
a psychic investigator.

I am David Farrant,
a psychic investigator.

The ghost is still
in and around

Highgate Cemetery
even to this day.

[Alex]
Show yourself behind me?

That's similar to what
a lot of people have seen.

-[Alex] I'm not even
joking, mate.
-[Tony] What?

We need more answers to this.

[Alex] Well, what's this?

Wow.

I kind of feel that we're
being watched, mate.

Are you the entity?

Are you the entity?

Is it a ghost,
is it a vampire?

There is something there.

I think we should go.

I think we should go, yeah.

[ominous music playing]

[Vanessa]
I grew up in North London

and I kind of feel

like I've always known
about the Highgate Vampire.

It was just a bit
of a local legend

especially when I became
a teenager,

it was something
that we all heard of.

When I started to do
the research

here in the library

what fascinated me
was that there was so many

other manifestations,
stories, or ghosts,

or whatever you like
to call them, entities,

that are said to have been
around there.

It's not simply the fact

that it's a gothic
Victorian cemetery.

There is something
very different

about Highgate Cemetery.

Been in there a few times
after dark

and on a number of occasions,
I have been struck

with absolute
stone cold terror.

[Sam] I was a volunteer
tour guide

at Highgate Cemetery
for about 12 years.

I did have a very, uh,
unnerving experience

of my own up here
just the once.

I was poking around
just exploring,

just locate graves,
etcetera, etcetera.

just locate graves,
etcetera, etcetera.

And, um, yeah, it was...
it was a summer's day.

It was very overcast.

And all of a sudden
I felt as though

there was an enormous
change and shift

in the atmospheric pressure.

It felt very oppressive.

While that was happening,

I noticed a very
distinct silence.

I couldn't hear
any more bird song.

I couldn't hear any cars

going up and down
Swain's Lane.

All of a sudden,
everything just went

absolutely deathly silent.

absolutely deathly silent.

And at that point, I got very,
very distinct feeling

of being very unwelcome

at that part of the cemetery
at that time.

[birds chirping]

[Sam] I ran like hell.

I didn't stop, or question it
or see what caused it,

I just ran through,
you know, shrubs and bushes

to get away from this part.

It thoroughly unnerved me.

[birds chirping]

[dramatic music playing]

[Vanessa] When I started
to read about Highgate,

I discovered the letter
to the local paper,

the Ham and High.

[dramatic music playing]

[Vanessa] It's from
David Farrant, 24-years-old,

a local tobacconist, married,

and a father of two children.

Farrant actually says,
"On three occasions

Farrant actually says,
"On three occasions

I've seen what appeared
to be a ghost-like figure

inside the gates
of Highgate Cemetery."

It's a very innocent
and humble letter.

It doesn't really give
much of a hint

of the kind of crazy things
that are going to follow.

This was actually
going to change

David Farrant's life forever.

[dramatic music playing]

[dramatic music playing]

[Andrew] I first struck
up a friendship with David

by researching what they call
the Magnificent Seven,

these seven Victorian era
cemeteries around London.

David was a spiritualist
from a young age.

He had expertise
in the occult.

And he was an investigator.

He wasn't just reading books.

He was out talking to people.

He was out doing
night watches

and that really fueled
his creation

and that really fueled
his creation

of the British psychic
and occult society.

But Highgate Cemetery itself

really drew his attention
like a magnet.

[ominous music playing]

[Alex] Can you state your name
for us, please?

Who are you?

-[Tony] What was that?
-[Alex] It said something...

We didn't know
until we've got home

that we captured a lot more
than what we anticipated.

Talk to me.

We were doing
a spirit box session

and, um, on that
spirit box session,

we picked up a name.

-[David speaking]
-[Alex] What?

[Tony] That's the name, David.

[Alex]
David, you're here with us?

[David speaking]

-[Tony] Yeah.
-[Alex] No. What?

[Tony] Hello, David.

[Tony] Hello, David.

It's not normal for a name
to come through so clearly

on a spirit box as David's.

We then asked it
to confirm it's David,

and he said, yes.

David, you're here with us?

[David speaking]

-[Tont] Yeah.
-[Alex] No. What?

[Tony] Hello, David.

[Alex] It's when you check
your videos and stuff

and then, um,
it just comes together.

It's just not like
a random name,

it's a name
that means something,

and just the story
doesn't end.

-[Tony] Yeah.
-[Alex] No. What?

[Tony] Hello, David.

[Andrew] What if David,

whose life was 100%
Highgate Cemetery,

whose life was 100%
Highgate Cemetery,

what if he is now
part of the story

but in a different realm?

[Alex] David?

Where'd you go?

It's just crazy to think like,

just thinking about it,
it's just crazy.

You don't come across
that sort of thing.

Touch the gate.

They're trying
to warn us I think

of the entity
who was behind me.

Show yourself behind me.

[ominous music playing]

[Alex] What the [bleep], mate?

-I'm not even joking mate.
-[Tony] What?

-[Alex] You not just
see that behind me?
-[Tony] No.

We'd like to find out more
about David

and what he was investigating
at Highgate Cemetery.

[Jamie] Didn't know a lot
about my dad growing up at all.

[ominous music playing]

[Jamie] All I knew about dad
was that he had a new agency.

And then when I finally
met him,

it was just a revelation.

It was just a hell
of a surprise really.

It was just a hell
of a surprise really.

When I was about
18-months-old,

my mom was pregnant
with my brother.

And then my dad
got interested

in all that Highgate stuff

and in my mom's words,

that's where the weirdness
started.

One night,
she just moved us all

back to where
she was brought up.

I didn't see him
for uh,...

it was about 40 years,
something like that.

Oh, the Highgate Vampire
had a massive impact on him.

In fact, I'd go so far
as it took his life over,

In fact, I'd go so far
as it took his life over,

which he had seen something
in the cemetery,

frightened the hell
out of him.

Now, I can't say what it was.

I don't know.

But the one thing I can say
is that he genuinely believed

that he saw something there.

[ominous music playing]

[David]
I went to Highgate Cemetery,

myself one evening,
in late '69.

I was walking down
Swain's Lane.

I intended to climb
over the main gate

which was quite easy to do.

which was quite easy to do.

Something caught my eye

and I actually saw
a tall figure.

It was about
7 or 8 feet tall.

It was almost as tall
as the top of the gate.

It was definitely clad
in a cloak with a hood

or something like that,
I don't know.

[ominous music playing]

[David] His face was white
or rather gray

as compared to the rest
of its appearance.

And I definitely saw
these eyes which were red.

I actually experienced
the area, the temperature,

where I was standing was...
around me,

dropped, distinctly dropped.

You know, I've seen something
I'm not sure what it is.

I certainly...

I certainly realized
it was not human.

[suspenseful music playing]

The next week,
David Farrant was to open

the Ham and High and see
that there were four responses

to his little letter.

All saying that they had
seen something

that was very similar
to what he described,

so they were really
concurring.

[ominous music playing]

[birds chirping]

I think almost certainly

that's what
I witnessed myself,

what other people have
witnessed there at that time.

But I felt this thing
very, very lethal.

I do know that as I passed
the top gate,

I do know that as I passed
the top gate,

you could tell this entity
was draining your energy.

[breathes deeply]

David went into the cemetery
looking for evidence

and he recounts being shocked
when he finds

that there's signs
of satanic rituals going on

that if they were successful,
would manifest an entity

which would stay
in the physical realm.

[suspenseful music playing]

[David] One particular place
that we discovered

was the Cory-Wright
Mausoleum.

It was a small chapel
broken open.

We were under no doubts
that that particular vault

is being used regularly
for black magic purposes.

They released something
by their satanic rites.

Energy which was
previously dormant,

they made come alive
by their activities.

they made come alive
by their activities.

[ominous music playing]

[Alex] The reason I come
into paranormal investigation

is from a young age,
I come across

a dark entity myself
when I was a kid,

and since then
I wanted answers.

When we start a new
investigation,

we will need to bring Claire
because she has insights

to the other side
with her special abilities.

[Claire] I was roughly
about 8, 9-years-old.

I knew I had some sort
of gift,

I could see things like
no one else could see.

I believe Tony and Alex
brought me in on this

because of my
psychic ability,

perhaps maybe get more
of a connection with David.

So this is a Mel Meter--
spirit comes in the facility,

So this is a Mel Meter--
spirit comes in the facility,

that trigger pick up
and trigger it, you know, so.

Similar thing it's called
REM POD...

[machine beeping]

...and it's also got
temperature control.

[Alex] I always feel shocked
but at the same time proud

that we're taking over

another person's
investigation

that he's been doing
for the last 50 years.

[David] It's a small chapel.

And we discovered
on the marble floor

there was an inverted
pentagram which, of course,

is a five-point star
but most importantly

is a five-point star
but most importantly

had the apex
pointing downwards,

which is used in black magic.

When under no doubts
that that particular vault

is being used regularly...

-The vault, that's the one,
behind us.
-It is.

-[Alex] The vault.
-It was. Wasn't it?

[Alex]
Yeah, that's where we was.

If we were... It stood behind,
it stood behind me.

That's what...
That's that crypt.

The puzzle is starting
to come together.

It could be something
that's been conjured,

something they brought forth,
they haven't sent it back.

I feel like he's trying
to signal,

like give us signs, like,
that he wants us to go back

like give us signs, like,
that he wants us to go back

and finish off what he
couldn't do hisself physically

-because...
-[Tony] Maybe he didn't know

-how to...
-Yeah.

...get rid of it.

-[ominous music playing]
-[clock ticks]

On Friday,
February the 27th, 1970

there was a massive
plot twist.

Suddenly, we have a new
paranormal investigator

Sean Manchester

who's also seen the evidence
of satanic strangeness

who has concluded
that it's a vampire in there.

Our first reports indicated

that there may be a vampire
in Highgate Cemetery.

A specter was seen
at that gate there

appearing to come from here
which leads to the catacombs.

appearing to come from here
which leads to the catacombs.

[man] Was seen by who?

Passersby, residents,
people whom we interviewed.

Not only a vampire
but in fact he says

it is a king vampire
of the undead.

[Andrew]
He provides real evidence.

Eyewitnesses, he names them,
Barbara and Elizabeth,

two young girls who were
harassed by this figure.

two young girls who were
harassed by this figure.

As far as we know it has only
physically attacked,

one male person
who has passed by the gate.

But there are others
who imply attest

to have been visited by it
in their beds at night.

According to Manchester's
account,

she describes this beast,
if you will,

that's coming to her room
as having the face

of a wild animal with glaring
eyes and sharp teeth.

But it is a man

with the expression
of an animal.

with the expression
of an animal.

The face is gaunt and gray.

She woke in the morning
to discover

two red marks on her neck

after experiencing
not a nightmare,

but an evil experience,

which only she
could describe herself,

where she felt
she had been visited

by something
exceedingly wicked.

[suspenseful music playing]

[Vanessa] That is like a bomb

has just exploded
in this story.

has just exploded
in this story.

Vampire hysteria gripped
not just London

but the whole of the
Southeast of England.

Suddenly, vampires were real.

And it wasn't just that
people were sitting back

and reading about it
in the newspapers.

They wanted to physically
be a part of the story

and join in the legend.

Satan, get you behind me

and be gone
from this place forever.

[Vanessa] Sean Manchester,
really completely stolen

[Vanessa] Sean Manchester,
really completely stolen

David Farrant's thunder.

The television people
got hold of the story

and they wanted to run it

at their primetime,
tea time slot.

[clock chimes]

[Andrew] Imagine the scene
it's Friday the 13th.

It takes place
in Highgate Cemetery.

Now the footage
has long been lost

but what happens next
is unbelievable.

Mr. Manchester,
it was said on the TV program

that I intended to go back
to the cemetery that night.

And I was going to take
the king vampire,

all hell literally
broke loose

at Highgate Cemetery.

People literally swooping
down there in droves.

They had their crucifixes,
their knives,

their beer bottles,
and they were swarming

their beer bottles,
and they were swarming

over the gates
of Highgate Cemetery

in a completely
uncontrolled way

to just run riot
in the cemetery at midnight.

[suspenseful music playing]

[blaring siren]

[man] The cemetery itself

was surrounded
by police cars.

[David] It's carnage.

The cemetery was desecrated.

Corpses being staked
with metal bars,

because of this ridiculous
vampire story.

One on the left hand side here,
the doors were broken open.

One on the left hand side here,
the doors were broken open.

The coffin was half
pulled over

and a big iron stake
was stuck through
into the coffin.

Manchester
is at the heart of it,

the next morning,
well, nobody killed a vampire

but the story of the Highgate
Vampire is very much alive.

[suspenseful music playing]

[Alex] And that's where
it begins.

[Claire] The moment
I got there,

my stomach flopped.

It's like going
over a hill really quick.

[suspenseful music playing]

[Claire] There's definitely
something in the center.

[Claire] There's definitely
something in the center.

It just... If you...

Is that...?

[Claire] More sort of right.

Go back a bit, go back,
go back, stop.

[Alex] The gravestone
on the tree, yeah?

[Claire] Yeah, yeah, yeah,
do you see it?

Definitely something
standing right there.

[Alex]
That's where the tombs begin,
that's the entrance.

-[Claire] Is that
the entrance?
-[Alex] At the top. Yeah.

[Claire] Yeah.

Well, I don't sense
David here.

Well, I don't sense
David here.

And I don't sense
the entity here.

[Alex] Okay.

[Claire] I mean, there's
a lot of activity going on,

but it's not what we're after
if that makes sense.

I think we're gonna need
to retrace David's steps.

[Alex] So we can pick up
and only think...

[Claire] Yeah.

[dramatic music playing]

It's not just at
Highgate Cemetery

this tall dark figure has
been reported.

It's been reported in
the Old Gatehouse Pub,

It's been reported in
the Old Gatehouse Pub,

bottles flying off
the shelves.

In fact I believe in
the Gatehouse,

where this tall dark figure
had been sighted,

at that time, the late '60s,
it became so bad

that the bar staff, barmaids,
refused to go down

into the...
into the downstairs area

where this figure
started to be seen again.

-Wow.
-That's crazy, isn't it?

-Start on this location then.
-Yeah, the pub.

[Claire] I think we have
a look around,

see what we pick up?

[Alex] Yeah, it's best
that we do that.

All right, down
to the basement, guys.

If there's someone here,
can you give me a sign?

Whoa, the cameras have gone
[bleep]ing blurry man.

What the [bleep]?

So you can just see the camera's
gone completely blurry.

So you can just see the camera's
gone completely blurry.

Man.

Come on upstairs.

Who's there?

What the [bleep]
is that, man?

Well, the entities...
it's quite frightening,

but that's what we do.

That's what we
enjoy to do.

That's what we
enjoy to do.

You just got to be brave.

If you show weakness,
it will pick you,

and obviously try
to attach to you.

Guys...

There's another location
of David's...

investigated, spent
a lot of his time in.

You can see the camera keeps
going blurry, out of focus.

So for me, that's a sign that
there's something here.

So for me, that's a sign that
there's something here.

I don't know what,
but it's eerie as [bleep].

Down here I feel like
I'm being watched like,

I don't know,
like coming down the stairs,

and the camera
losing focus like that.

Who's here with me?

My name is Alex,

what's your name?

I'm getting goosebumps.

[bleep].

Man.

It just felt like there was
something standing there,

It just felt like there was
something standing there,

at the bottom of the stairs,

definitely some sort
of entity there.

Guys...

The REM POD's going off,
the REM POD's going off.

Wow.

And for everything to start
triggering off,

all these, the REM PODs.

The EMF reader...

The REM POD is going off
over there as well.

That's the other REM POD
going off.

Talk to this device
in my hands.

[bell ringing]

Whoa, whoa, whoa,
what's that?

-Man, I felt something
touch my head.

-Man, I felt something
touch my head.

-That's the temperature,
isn't it?

-That's the temperature.

-Whoa... I felt something
touch my head.

My hair went like that.

I felt it.

Yeah.

There's no wind or air
conditioning blowing this way.

It's really, really cold here.

Can you feel how cold it is
in this area?

-Yeah. It's cold.
-[bleep]ing crazy.

It's quite
intense, definitely.

It's definitely
something that I...

where we sat,
mainly where the REM POD was,

and I did start to feel

and I did start to feel

some sort of like,
an entity being there,

a really strong,
evil presence.

And I was worried he was gonna
overtake me.

David said that it moved

from location to location
at certain points.

I can definitely confirm that
whatever is in

Highgate Cemetery
is definitely traveling to

the Highgate pub as well.

I think we need to review more
evidence on it,

listening to David a bit more.

What other locations,

I guess, that he picked up.

I guess, that he picked up.

The story is now developing
really quickly.

David recounted to me that in
the summer of 1970,

he went back to Highgate
Cemetery with the intention

of banishing the entity.

[David] We decided

to try and make communication
with this entity,

or whatever it was.

At that period,

I was experimenting
with the...

I was experimenting
with the...

forbidden rituals,

some of which involved sex.

I felt it was a key to
reaching other levels

of consciousness.

It's a very dangerous
thing to do because

it's said that anyone that

attempts this can actually be
taken over, become possessed,

or rendered insane.

I don't regret it because

I don't regret it because

no one was ever harmed,
no one was ever injured,

or hurt.

But it did give me quite
a bad reputation.

[Dave] I knew about
the Highgate Vampire

from my teenage years.

From the long period
I knew David,

he never believed it
was a blood sucking vampire.

he never believed it
was a blood sucking vampire.

But, yeah, I did think
to myself at the time

that there was a lot more
to David Farrant

than what he's actually
letting on.

We're heading up
to 1 Avenue Road.

We always used to refer
to it as the Haunted House.

[dramatic music playing]

[Dave] As a kid,
we used to play around here.

[Dave] As a kid,
we used to play around here.

And we always used
to dare each other

to come over here
to this house.

Sometimes there was, like,
strange sounds, chanting,

and all that sort of thing
going on.

After I met David,

the more I learned,
obviously much later,

is that David used to conduct

some of these magical
rituals here.

And this must have been
happening

And this must have been
happening

in and around the time

that I was playing here
as a kid.

As to really why
he was doing it,

I really don't know,
and I did ask him
a few times,

but I don't think
he really wanted to talk to me

about something
that I would have

very limited understanding of.

[Vanessa] From that time on,
David Farrant

was in the newspapers
all the time.

Unfortunately, it was
for all the wrong reasons.

Unfortunately, it was
for all the wrong reasons.

[suspenseful music playing]

He's also starting
to get arrested.

He's arrested three times

in a span
of approximately a year.

[Dave] The worst thing
that happened

was there was a body

that had been dragged
from its coffin.

And it was placed
into a brand new Mini Cooper

that was parked over there.

In the morning,
the body was placed

on the road just there.

It was a very gruesome sight.

But the local papers
have picked it up

and it soon
went national news.

Now, because David Farrant

had been
already been arrested

three times previous to this,

he was the most
likely suspect.

Three weeks later,
they raid his home

and arrest him yet again.

David is given a four
and a half year sentence.

David is given a four
and a half year sentence.

I certainly think
in retrospect,

in fact, even then

that I was made a scapegoat

for not only
with the vandalism
at Highgate Cemetery,

but for the whole...

...what I believed in.

You would think
with Farrant in prison,

the story would just die down,

but it revs up and goes
absolutely ballistic.

but it revs up and goes
absolutely ballistic.

[suspenseful music playing]

In 1974, while Farrant
is in prison,

Manchester tracks
it down into this

neo-gothic mansion,

find the vampire
in the basement,

they find the casket.

And finally, dramatically,

Manchester takes that stake

and rams it through his heart.

If that's not enough,
he goes out to the car

and get some petrol comes back

and sets the body alight.

And now it's time
for our next guest

is a man who's devoted
his life to fighting evil,

Satanism, materialism
and of course vampires.

And even claims
in the early '70s

who have tracked down vampire

and driven a stake
through its evil heart.

Ladies and gentlemen, please
welcome, Sean Manchester.

[cheers and applause]

[David] Again this
actually happened.

If we were to take
Mr. Manchester's word for it,

it's not genuine.

No, because I don't accept
the existence of vampires.

It was not a blood
sucking vampire.

It was not a blood
sucking vampire.

The one that I used
on the Highgate Vampire

was closer to the Van Helsing,
as we call it,

because this is the approved.

-Look at the size of that one.
-The... Yes, it's a whopper.

Well, then how do you carry
this around with you?

I concluded that the ghost

is still in and around
Highgate Cemetery,

even to this day.

[Andrew] The feud between
these two really never ends.

Manchester finally
publishes his opus,

the Highgate Vampire
in the late '80s.

the Highgate Vampire
in the late '80s.

And then in the early 90s,

Farrant one ups him again

by publishing
Beyond the Highgate Vampire,

and then they go on a series
of television and radio shows.

[woman] You don't believe
in vampires do you?

Not bloodsucking vampires
absolutely not.

I believe that sometimes
there can be...

ghosts if I must use that word

which can remain earthbound

which are extremely potent
forms of psychic energy.

That sort of thing goes
on throughout the decade

That sort of thing goes
on throughout the decade

until, sort of, you know,
the year 2000-ish

when the whole story takes on

a new level of insanity

thanks to the internet.

[suspenseful music playing]

[Erin] The Highgate case
is kind of like

it's a fantastical story.

That includes
a lot of things.

The fact
that you have a vampire

that was in the cemetery
and it attacked people.

that was in the cemetery
and it attacked people.

That's what kind
of got me into it.

When I was growing up, my
favorite show was Scooby-Doo.

I love, you know, the mystery.
You wanted

to find out what happened,
who was behind it.

If it did great because,
you know, everyone wants

to prove there's a vampire.

But if it didn't happen
then I'll know the truth.

So, I traveled from Canada

and I went to go
to the Highgate Cemetery,

I was able to visit
four locations

that Sean Manchester
discusses in his book.

[suspenseful music playing]

[suspenseful music playing]

[Erin] After going through
all the locations,

the geography was wrong
on all of them.

Nothing just was proper,

it didn't match certain
things that happened here,

but it was actually over here,

which kind of blows my mind.

When I published
this first article,

Sean Manchester did not take
it very well at all.

[dramatic music playing]

[Erin] If you Googled him
online,

[Erin] If you Googled him
online,

you could see countless
websites, blog postings,

and it was just comments
from him.

Every time somebody
brings up the case

or someone talks
about the case,

he just tries to shut
everything down,

was a liar or was wrong.

One thing I've had happen
since I wrote the articles

is he's actually gone through
my Facebook friends lists.

And he actually
takes people I know

and private messages them
and says,

and private messages them
and says,

"I'm a liar.
I'm a bad person."

His best one for me that I get

is he posts fat pictures
and says they're me.

That's the best one
that I get.

[dramatic music playing]

[Patsy] I've spent
nearly 20 years on this case.

It's one of the greatest
mysteries

I've ever come across.

When I start investigating
this phenomenon,

When I start investigating
this phenomenon,

I asked Mr. Manchester
through his website,

to allow me
to see the evidence

because he had passed
his book off as fact.

And I wanted to know
where he got his facts.

I had the most vilest abuse.

It got very nasty.

I received lots of emails
every single day.

I received lots of emails
every single day.

"If you carry on with this
pursuit of this investigation,

"you will regret it.

"You will be sued for libel"

and that, "Your name
will be discredited."

He did not want anyone
investigating that.

That was his vampire.

That was his story.

And if they did start
digging in, delving in,

it would be the worst
for them.

it would be the worst
for them.

Well, it wasn't.

[laughs]

[suspenseful music playing]

[Patsy] I looked at all
the evidence.

I went and looked
at David's notes.

And this entity
still being seen

through these gates
at this point.

[David] So, I went back
to the cemetery

[David] So, I went back
to the cemetery

for the first time since 1973.

Only last year,

this would have been
in April 2005.

Exactly the same thing
happened again.

Again, I think
I it was reported

being seen
by quite a few people.

[suspenseful music playing]

We discovered that the places
where this tall, dark figure

had been sighted,

such as the old
Roman settlement

in Highgate Woods,

such as the Gatehouse Pub
and the Flask Pub,

were all connected
by a ley line

which runs straight
through the heart

of Highgate Cemetery.

It's very possible
that the figure

seen in all these location

is not a different
separate entity.

It is the same figure

It is the same figure

traveling along the course
of the ley line.

-[woman] Hail Hegarty!
-[crowd] Hail Hegarty!

It's quite possible
that the group of Satanists

practicing
at Highgate Cemetery

were aware of the existence
of this ley line indeed

in Highgate Woods.

To the fire, I cast the spell.

[Carrie] Highgate Woods,
it's a big natural part

[Carrie] Highgate Woods,
it's a big natural part

of the original
Middlesex Forest.

If you go out and work
in ancient Woodlands,

you're going back
almost traveling through time.

You're going back to a place

where the ley lines
have not been disrupted

by building on top of them,

you're going back to a place

where people have worked
their magic

for many, many years
beforehand,

some of them leaving
an imprint there perhaps.

I think
it's completely plausible

that somebody could have
been experimenting

that somebody could have
been experimenting

with dark magic
and have brought through

a demonic entity.

Hegarty we call up on you.

By picking a cemetery
that they can first of all

have access to

and if it happens to have
ley lines crossing there

then that could give it
more power.

So, if they have brought
something through,

as David believed,

the indications are

that they weren't able
to banish it again afterwards.

[chanting]

[suspenseful music playing]

[suspenseful music playing]

So guys, we made it
to Highgate Woods.

We would then go
to the Witch's Coven.

-Are you guys ready for this?
-Yeah.

Get up. Let's go,
I'm ready for this.

Ready to go, yeah?

[suspenseful music playing]

Who's out there?

[Alex] So we know
we shouldn't be there

if we're not witches,
warlocks.

We're forbidden to be there.

Behind us, behind you,
behind you, behind you,

-do you not hear that?
-[Tony] Yes.

[Claire] Oh, [bleep].

[Tony] Hello, who is it?

[Alex] Do you not hear
this point then?

[Claire] Yeah.

I just wanna [bleep]ing
move here.

[Tony] All my hairs on my legs
have just gone ping.

[indistinct]
this is [bleep]ing [bleep]ed up.

-[Tony] Come on.
-[Alex] It's gonna be okay.
Come on, we can do it.

We've got the strength.

Not come across that before.

I never felt so weak

and felt so vulnerable
at that...at that time.

You can hear it
all around you can't you?

Twigs snapping and stuff.

Twigs snapping and stuff.

I feel weak at the minute.

[Alex] Yeah, same. Do you think
he's taken all our...

all our energy,
he's draining us?

He is draining us.

Whatever it was,
it was draining me.

It just felt like
what David has said in,

you know, in his videos.

I definitely agree with him.

[dramatic music playing]

This is the last entry
for David Farrant

in the Ham and High

in the Ham and High

and it's his obituary,
he died age 73.

I think that although
this is his obituary

and this is the last thing

that we're gonna read
about him doing.

It seems like
he's always going to...

some parts of him is
always going to live on

as part of this story.

I would say in some respects
with the "Vampire"

and I use that word in quotes,

and I use that word in quotes,

at Highgate Cemetery...

well, I suppose, really,
ultimately

or I suppose
really I was it...

I was its ultimate victim.

-[Tony] [bleep]
-[Alex] What?

[Tony] That said David, David.

David, are you here with us?

[Andrew] If this video is
really showing David Farrant

in Highgate Cemetery,

what this is really telling us

is that even after death,

you're still trapped
by the story

you're still trapped
by the story

that engulfed you
in your life.

What if that's the curse
of the Highgate Vampire?

Even in death,
you can't escape it.

[Alex] Is there someone
here that'll talk to me?

Can you talk to us please.
