The Highgate Vampire

The headline of the Highgate Vampire

One of the strangest events to occur in the modern era is the tale of the Highgate Vampire. All of it started in 1963. One evening, a couple was wandering through London’s renowned Highgate Cemetery (the final resting place of Karl Marx). As they passed the North Gate, the lovers claimed to have observed a tall, dark form floating above the cemetery’s walls. Another witness would state that the shape resembled a “black treacle.”
