Soporific Symposium Fizzles Toward End

"Since their inception in the mid-1970s, the Friends of Highgate Cemetery have had little time for rumours of supernatural incursions on their patch." - Della Farrant (5 January 2016)

That might easily be explained by the simple fact that the entity known as the Highgate Vampire was successfully exorcised by early 1974. Why would the Friends of Highgate Cemetery, not formed until 1975, have regard for the supernatural? There was nothing supernatural extant at Highgate Cemetery by the time they took over the running of the graveyard, and it is perfectly understandable why they would eschew the vampire topic in the wake of the panics and hysteria caused by its prior presence.
