Welcome to a special Halloween episode and a hauntingly spooky wander...
In this video, we’ll take a stroll through the legendary Highgate Cemetery in North London. Known as a Victorian necropolis, many believe it’s one of the most haunted places on Earth, and we’re diving deep into its past to uncover the chilling stories behind those claims.
With a history steeped in vampire hunts, ghostly 19th-century apparitions, and body snatching, it’s the perfect eerie location to explore this autumn.
But it’s not all darkness—Highgate is also the final resting place of some of the most famous figures in history. Why did icons like George Michael, Karl Marx, Malcolm McLaren, and George Eliot choose this cemetery as their eternal home? Let’s find out…
If you enjoy this video, please give it a like to support the channel. And as I mention, Highgate is run entirely by charity—if you’d like to donate, here’s the link: https://highgatecemetery.org/donate
Thanks for watching, and special thanks to the Friends of Highgate Trust for preserving this incredible site for all of us to appreciate.
Happy Halloween! 🎃
