The Hunt For The Highgate Vampire

In the late 1960's and early 1970's in London a series of sightings and encounters in and around Highgate Cemetery lead a number of people to believe that a vampire was stalking the local area. As investigators began to document eye-witness reports the speculation soon reached the national media and it wasn't long before a local frenzy ensued. Drawing from independent sources, as well as from the accounts relayed by the central figures themselves, this episode of UK Paranormal Files recounts the story of the Hunt For The Highgate Vampire.
