Back to the First Post
Hi there folks,
I am The Overseer of Did a Wampyr Walk in Highgate?, a small MSN Groups forum. I can't post you the URL to it, because I haven't made my quota of 15 posts on this forum yet.
I am not an apologist for Manchester, but was previously a member of one of his forums, before my membership was revoked.
Why am I telling you all this? It relates to disclosure. You see, the first message in this topic was written by a member named "songstress", seemingly out of the blue and obviously a direct attack on Sean Manchester which, even read at surface level ("total 'kook'"), is quite apparent.
However, I find it curious that she neglects to mention that she is a member of the Highgate Vampire Society (I won't divulge her name, but her nickname appears on HVS-related sources as well). The HVS is presided over by one David Farrant.
You can read a brief sort of "correspondance" with songstress, if you will, on my forum (which you'll have to presently find on a search engine, I'm afraid), if you go to "Messages" on the main page, then "General" and go to the "To songstress (HVS Member): A Response" thread.
Also, she might care to divulge what she thinks of the alternative supernatural events cited by the President of the HVS as happening at Highgate Cemetery and weather or not she fully supports his testimony (as she was not present for the events herself). Especially in light of her referring to Manchester as a "total 'kook'".
Only fair to hear her view on both "sides" of the Case I'd say, if she wants to post something that could be easily be mistaken for a smear campaign.
You can read Farrant's version of events at Highgate at his home page (which you'll have to google, too). Go to the "Interviews" section in particular and, of course, feel free to read through anything else present on the site.
