Sean Manchester - Vampire Hunter

[Lisa Simpson]

You can make a living as a vampire hunter?

Sure you can.

 

[desertyeti]

Might have to compete with the ghost hunters and bigfoot hunters and Loch Ness monster hunters though.

 

[JonWhite]

Sure you can.

Oh yeah. But wasn't she so poorly paid that she had to branch out, forced ultimately to work with Scooby Doo? How demeaning!

 

[Lisa Simpson]

No, no, no. She didn't work with Scooby Doo...her little group of followers were called the Scoobies. She was forced to work at the Doublemeat Palace and battled a nasty penis monster there, but still, that chick was always wearing very stylish designer clothes, so vampire slaying must pay reasonably well.

If the job involves penis monsters (are we back to Sean M. here?) I'm now not so sure I want it...

 

[Miss Whiplash]

Amazing. I've been gone and not checked the internet for two days. I'm not in the house two minutes before I find odd things in my inbox.

Manchester says he is PROFESSIONAL vampire hunter and the rest of us are DYSFUNCTIONAL MISCREANTS (WOW!) AND only AMATeurs!!!

What we asked him--but needless to say got no reply--is

WHERE DO YOU TRAIN TO become A PROFESSIONAL
VAMPIRE HUNTER AND HOW MUCH TO DO GET PAID? After all if youa re PROFESSIONAL that means you do it for a living and get paid, so how do you actually WORK as a vampire hunter----

are you on 24 hour call or do you work shifts?

are you paid on results i'.e. how do you prove you've bagged one?

Who is your employer???


Needless to say Manchester was as coy about his vampire hunting CV as he is about his Church in Bournemouth of which he is the Autocephalous(one headed/self employed) Bishop

Why Vampire Hunters' School of course! I tried to get my MBA in Undead Managment, but the course load was too great.

And I would think he would just work the night shift, wouldn't he?

Hi folks
Just read your recent postings about Charities etc. From what I remember in the front of Mr. Manchester's Highgate Vampire book it is quite clear that Mr. Manchester is asking for donations to be paid in a Halifax Bank Account here in the UK. He says that the funds are going to be donated to the Church allegedly. If this is so then surely before he can ask for such funds he needs to be a registered charity.

not if he is an "exempted body", as they (by definition) don't need to register, however they still fall under the remit of the charity Commission. However as his organization does not appear on the HMCE list of registered and exempted bodies, he cant get these donations tax free (legally).

Also Mr. Manchester set up a fake Memorial Fund when he was fatally wounded in a duel and all of a sudden miraculously nursed back to health by a nun in France.

oddly enough, collecting fro an individual is not considered charitable work (charities must be for the "common good" so he's probably safe here)

Another fund he set up to try and save Robin Hood's Grave here in West Yorkshire and accused Barbara of pocketing the proceeds which were addressed to HIM in the first place to PO Box 542 Highgate, London.

this does sound distinctly dodgy, have you spoken to the charities commission about him? just because he isn't registered with them doesn't mean that they don't have jurisdiction.

Generally we are thinking that the Old Catholic Movement and Manchester himself are setting up a scam. It is so confusing as to what is what and it really needs someone to research the subject fully.

yeah, Uk charities law is a bit of a minefield.

On another note Mr. Manchester has a retreat house in Bournemouth. We believe that he has not got the proper fire, health and safety regulations. Nor do the Bournemouth Tourist Information know about him much less want to get involved with him. We've also tried the trades description people and they have said that they cannot help and the retreat Society in the United Kingdom have never even heard of him.

report him to the Environmental health department of Bournemouth Borough Council, who will be the enforcing authority for the fire and health nd safety breaches you suspect him of. Tourist information and trades descriptions wont be much help (as you have found).

 

[Myth Buster]

Paranormal by any other name remains paranormal

Vampire406 has no hidden agenda in joining our David Farrant Highgate Forum why should she have? However we will support her as much as we possibly can as we are well aware of what Manchester is like and she can also post as much as she wants on our forums.

Having had a quick look at the forum in question, it seems to be dominated by two themes: obsessing over minutia from almost forty years ago which is familiar at most to one, two or three people, and posting totally unsubstantiated claims about the paranormal, ghosts and such like which all members seem to subscribe to with a gullibility rarely seen outside an alien abduction convention. My point being: how can vampire hunting be any more potty than ghost hunting and practising magic rituals in the belief that they actually work?

It's not any different. In this thread we are focusing on Sean Manchester. It's like the TAPS forum, you can have one thread that questions the legitimacy of "orbs", but the same people on another thread will discuss the "real demon" hiding under someone's bed.

Hi there Brodski

Thanks for the message. We will write to the Environmental Health department later this week as we've got a lot to do elsewhere and will let Board Member know what happens. We will also write to the Charity Commision about Manchester's past exploits and see what they can do.

Kind regards and best wishes

Catherine and Barbara

 

[Myth Buster]

The odour of hypocrisy arises

It's not any different.

That is my point. The conjoined ones, Catherine and Barbara, who are posting their criticism about vampire hunting have personally been involved in spiritualism, mediumship, ghost hunting, witchcraft and occult rituals. Who is to say what is loonier? When you start differentiating between a man who hunts vampires and another who claims to raise them in occult ceremonies you are really splitting hairs.

 

[Myth Buster]

There are different kinds of retreat

I have been investigating what has been claimed on this thread and nowhere have I found any claim by Sean Manchester or anyone else other than the conjoined ones, Barbara and Catherine, that he has a church in Bournemouth or a retreat which is open to the public. There might be churches elsewhere, but not in Bournemouth (where I believe he only has a "coastal retreat" which is entirely private) and nowhere is their evidence to suggest otherwise.

According to "Friends of Bishop Sean Manchester," this coastal retreat receives visits from friends, clergy and those wanting to discuss projects. This is very different from a public enterprise run by a spiritual organisation for anyone who wishes to pay money to have a break while meditating and eating very little.

The word "retreat" (in the relevant meaning) is defined as "withdrawing into privacy" and can apply to an advertised place for the paying public to visit or a private residence where friends and acquaintances can visit for a bit of peace and quiet, or just to discuss things. It would appear that Sean Manchester's retreat falls into the latter category.

Hi Myth Buster

I am writing on my own and not with Catherine as you seem to have coem to the conclusion, completely unfounded, that we are joined at the hip. We only put our names together for convenience on this thread, on all other posts elsewhere we have our seperate identities.
As for your point about paranormal research, yes, I have done some I admit out of interest and curiosity, as when I was researching Robin Hoods Grave I got a lot of reports independently from people who had seen and experienced "strange goings ons" by the grave.The Manchester decided to"plant" as vampire there--but thats another story, I wont bore you with it--se my websiteyou want more!--send private message

This is a different kettle of fish entirely from breaking into tombs, desecrating peoples nearest and dearest and claiming to have killed loads of bloodsucking vampires with a spade by lopping its head of, sticking a stake through its heart and chucking whats left on a bonfire.

I also admit to have visited the Spiritusalist chuch in the past and to be honest reckoned nowt much to it, so all horror stories about going there and the results to my life were unfounded. I now go to the Roman Catholic church and might convert, but you cant joing any camp without finding out about it first.

As for Manchester, you dont know him like we do. I know him of old and the tricks and scams he pulls and the way he struts round like Mr Big, telling porkies about his noble past and holy position. It is all utter bunkum, he is just a thwarted megalamaniac and gets very nasty when crossed. Dont be deceived by his butter wouldnt melt in his mouth stance and plausible blurb --- he hasnt a holy bone in his body and he is casting a baleful influence over the mentally compromised, unhappy and confused people who go onto his boards.

ps

It is true also that we attended an "occult" service to exorcise/bless Robin Hood's Grave. This was filmed by a reputable film company and the film will be coming out soon when they have come to an agreement about costs for the ten minute visit to the grave.
The reason an "occult service" was held was ebcause the landowner Lady Armytage refused to let the Church do a Christian blessing service--re the ghostly sightings we had been told about, and also out of respect to England's national hero, as the grave is a real mess.

Noen of the Christian priests/bishops we contacted in the late 1980-s---1990-s had the bottle to either tackle Lady A head on--apparently she gave Father John Flack( now a bishop himself) a real flea in his ear as the bishop of Wakefield got involved, and the were all cap doffing--or in this case mistre doffing--to her. Anyway David was the only one who would do it, along with Gareth. I didn't understand it but it was just like a Christian service except different deities were involved, there was no Black magic sacrificing babaies or dancing round in the nuddy if that si what you are thinking, Myth buster. Unless you are totally narrow minded, I regarded this service to Robin as a sigh nof respect long needed, I left palm crosses there anyway, so there was a Christian element to it. To much "isms" are intolerance in the name of "God" are the reason for all the
wars toDYA.
Hope that clarifies it a bit for you.

Barbara sans Catherine

 

[CatherineFearnley]

Excuse me how does MythBuster know what Barbara and myself have been into considering they were not there at the time. I/We have not been involved with spiritualism, ghost hunting, and witchcraft or occult rituals. Just because we have a mild interest in such matters and were slightly involved in a blessing at Robin Hood's Grave DOES NOT MEAN WE WERE INVOLVED in any such practices. It is stupid and ridiculous comments like these what get me really annoyed.

To me it sounds as though MythBuster is talking out of his backside and is one Manchester Cronies, it is that obvious especially having a go at Barbara and myself when they know absolutely nothing about us.

There is a world of difference between going around doing a bit of paranormal research then desecrating graves and breaking an entry into tombs in Highgate Cemetery. It's a good job that there are no living relatives of the Waces left because if anyone had done that to my families gravestone and tomb I would have had them prosecuted by now.

Also to change the subject Barbara and myself are attending a real life Roman Catholic Church with a real life Priest who is doing real life instruction and we are getting at the end of Easter and we are not following a Vigilante Priest whom followers of his own 'Church' have renounced all support.

Anyway MythBuster we know exactly who you are, and what you are about. It's elementary my dear MythBuster. You are that transparent it's obvious.

[CatherineFearnley]

If it is just his house -bungalow for friends then he doesn't need to plaster it all over his message boards and website as a retreat house. The way he's advertising it as put it in the category as a official retreat where you can pay to go.

These are the definitions of retreat hopefully! In his case number 4 applies as well.
