	~~== The Highgate Vampire ==~~
	~~Highgate Cemetery, dating to~~ the ~~1800s, gained international notoriety in the early 1970s over "~~[[~~The~~ Highgate Vampire]]" — a reportedly tall, dark figure with red eyes said to have been sighted gliding among the tombs at night. British occultist David Farrant publicly claimed to have seen a seven-foot-tall spectral figure outside the cemetery gates, and a group calling themselves the North London Paranormal Investigators reported encountering a similar tall, dark figure during their own visit. The case sparked a well-documented rivalry between competing investigators over the figure's true nature and origin, and remains one of the most widely cited British vampire legends of the 20th century.

	~~== Enfield ==~~
	The London Borough of Enfield is the setting of the [[Enfield Poltergeist]], Britain's most extensively documented poltergeist case — see that page for the full account. The borough is also associated with "the phantom coach of Enfield," a horse-drawn coach said to float above Bell Road at high speed, blamed for several road accidents, and with the ghost of a woman reportedly executed for witchcraft on Hadley Road in 1622.

'''North London''' covers the boroughs north of the River Thames, including Enfield, Haringey, Islington, and Camden — home to the [[Enfield Poltergeist]] and one of Britain's most famous claimed vampire cases.

== The Highgate Vampire ==
Highgate Cemetery, dating to the 1800s, gained international notoriety in the early 1970s over "[[The Highgate Vampire]]" — a reportedly tall, dark figure with red eyes said to have been sighted gliding among the tombs at night. British occultist David Farrant publicly claimed to have seen a seven-foot-tall spectral figure outside the cemetery gates, and a group calling themselves the North London Paranormal Investigators reported encountering a similar tall, dark figure during their own visit. The case sparked a well-documented rivalry between competing investigators over the figure's true nature and origin, and remains one of the most widely cited British vampire legends of the 20th century.

== Enfield ==
The London Borough of Enfield is the setting of the [[Enfield Poltergeist]], Britain's most extensively documented poltergeist case — see that page for the full account. The borough is also associated with "the phantom coach of Enfield," a horse-drawn coach said to float above Bell Road at high speed, blamed for several road accidents, and with the ghost of a woman reportedly executed for witchcraft on Hadley Road in 1622.

== Islington and Finsbury Park ==
Residents of Gloucester Drive, Finsbury Park, have long reported the sound of unexplained footsteps starting outside a specific house late at night and continuing across nearby front gardens — a reputation that has earned the street a place among Britain's most cited haunted streets.
