It became a self-governing body in its own right on 2 February 1970, by which point Manchester, still acting under the BOS, had already initiated a full-time investigation into the [[Highgate Vampire]] case the previous year — an investigation that would continue for thirteen years. The first published account of the case appeared as a chapter in &#039;&#039;The Vampire&#039;s Bedside Companion&#039;&#039; (1975), with the fuller account following in Manchester&#039;s own book, &#039;&#039;[[The Highgate Vampire (book)|The Highgate Vampire]]&#039;&#039; (1985).<br /> <br /> == Membership ==<br /> For its first two decades, the VRS operated with open membership and grew to around 300 members. In 1990, amid the emergence of several other vampire-interest groups in England, the Society restricted membership to invitation only, in order to concentrate specifically on practical research. Prospective members are typically approached by an existing member, submit a written application, and are vetted in person by at least three executive members before admission. The Society describes its work as &quot;pro-active&quot; — meaning operative investigation of claimed phenomena, as distinct from purely speculative or fan-oriented interest in vampire lore.<br /> <br /> == Scope of activity ==<br /> The VRS confines its work to investigating possible paranormal manifestations connected to vampirism, and has stated it has no connection to, or interest in, the broader modern &quot;vampire subculture&quot; — including self-identified real-life vampires, blood-drinking practices, or related medical conditions, all of which it regards as outside its remit.<br /> <br /> == Related organisations ==<br /> The VRS shares historical roots with the [[British Occult Society]] and with [[The Ghost Club]], with some individuals — including Peter Underwood — holding senior positions across more than one of the three organisations over the years.<br /> <br /> == Today ==<br /> The VRS remains active under Manchester&#039;s continued presidency.<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Sean Manchester]]<br /> * [[British Occult Society]]<br /> * [[Highgate Vampire]]<br /> * [[The Ghost Club]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Organisations]]</div>
