In this episode of EXORCISTA, we investigate the haunting story of the Highgate Vampire, one of London’s most bizarre and mysterious modern legends. In 1969, David Farrant entered Highgate Cemetery alone. What he saw that night—a tall, black figure with glowing red eyes—would shape the rest of his life.

We recount the events that followed, including the 1970 mob that stormed the cemetery, the occult claims that divided believers, and the legacy of two men who spent decades trying to define what haunted Highgate.

You’ll also hear a modern reimagining of a vengeance ritual—based on ancient practices—designed to help you symbolically reclaim your power when wronged.

Plus: other vampire legends from England and America, and why the undead still fascinate us centuries later. A must-listen for fans of horror stories, animated horror stories, true crime, and scary stories.
