Rumours of a Vampire at Highgate started in the 1970s with several people reporting a bespectacled gentleman on a bicycle or with a top hat seen in the cemetery or nearby Swains Lane. The Highgate Vampire is famous enough to have inspired Hammer Horror's Dracula A.D. 1972 & even made an appearance on Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
