You'r...Dennis,<br /><br />It's a hell of a big mote!<br /><br />You're the one who had a whinge about you turning up the Isaaman reference first.<br /><br />As I pointed out in the blog entry, you also omitted a citation and what Isaaman <i>actually</i> thought of the case.<br /><br />I think those are pretty <i>significant</i> details.<br /><br />Now go play in your sandbox.Anthony Hogghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17960694581776199125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6664065167745430575.post-6284102404809971802009-12-06T21:22:56.276+11:002009-12-06T21:22:56.276+11:00Pedantry, pedantry, pedantry!

There was also an accompanying young lady, also not mentioned, who was equally formally-attired. It was late in the afternoon and Seán Manchester had no idea how long the interview would take. He and his lady friend were dressed ready to go on to the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, from the Hampstead offices of the Hampstead & Highgate Express. He frequently attended the opera in those days and continued to do so whilst he lived in London. The old (now ex-) editor [Gerry Isaaman] reminisced in Jauary 2009: <br /><br />"The story of the Highgate Vampire [in a recently published book about London's folklore] is attributed to 1970 reports in the Ham & High, where I was then the editor. It recalled the fantastic events of a few months that year and the following one, which culminated in a TV programme inviting people to decide for themselves what was going on. That resulted in three hundred people, allegedly armed with home-made stakes and Christian crosses, storming the cemetery that night to kill the demon vampire lurking among the decaying tombs."<br /><br />http://vampireresearchsociety.blogspot.comVampirologisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18273216532438440642noreply@blogger.com
