Morbid Morsels: The Good, The Bad and the Sometimes Sad of Highgate
Season 1, Ep. 14.5
•
In last weeks episode of Deathinitions we talked about the mystery of the Highgate Vampire. Whether you believe in blood sucking fiends or not is up to you but we can agree on is that Highgate contains a staggeringly high number of rotten remains - not all of them were good people. And some were just very unlucky. So today we're going to meet some of the cemetery's own mad, bad, (often just sad) and dangerous to know.
