Highgate Cemetery: Ghosts, Graves and the Vampire

Highgate Cemetery is one of the most famous cemeteries in Britain. Hidden among the trees and Victorian monuments of North London are stories of ghostly apparitions, mysterious figures, unexplained sightings and the infamous Highgate Vampire.

In this episode of Ghost Tales by the Fireside, we explore the remarkable history of Highgate Cemetery, from its origins as one of London's Magnificent Seven cemeteries to its decline during the twentieth century. Along the way, we examine reports of the woman in white, the ghostly cyclist, the top-hatted figure, and the extraordinary vampire panic that captured national headlines during the 1970s.

Was Highgate truly haunted, or did a neglected Victorian cemetery become the perfect setting for modern folklore?

Join us as we separate documented history from legend and explore one of Britain's most enduring paranormal mysteries.

Original atmospheric music throughout this episode is composed and performed by Clem Dallaway.
