https://youtube/watch?v=hkN8R6tHwHk 55 minutes and 35 seconds into the interview, Farrant claims: Then at that moment he [Seán Manchester] had a stake stuck down the back of his trousers and he produced this stake - no, Im serious - and the interviewer jumped back a foot. BBCs 24 Hours, transmitted on 15 October 1970, reveals Farrant doing precisely what he accuses Seán Manchester of doing, as he produces a stake from the back of his own trousers and proceeds to reconstruct what he was engaged in at Highgate Cemetery on the night of his arrest in August 1970. Farrant falsely claims that he was demonstrating at the behest of the BBC how vampires are traditionally pursued. In fact, the BBC film makes it absolutely clear that he was demonstrating how he was caught vampire hunting and that his antics with a cross, rosary and stake for the television cameras was a reconstruction of what he had done earlier that year when apprehended by police, which caused him to receive significant publicity. How did the police know? asks the American interviewer. What Farrant fails to mention is that he orchestrated his own arrest by getting someone (whose identity is known) to telephone the police at precisely the time Farrant was entering the graveyard on his own, armed with a Christian cross and a wooden stake. This was to guarantee maximum publicity in the press and wider media, which, unsurprisingly, it did. This was a tactic he would continue to employ until he was eventually sentenced to almost five years imprisonment in July 1974. 3 minutes and 5 seconds into the video at this link Farrants hypocrisy is exposed: https://youtube/watch?v=-VcUq-ohXVY Farrant says he founded the B.O.S. in 1967, but cannot produce a single shred of evidence to support such an outlandish and, needless to say, bogus claim. The B.O.S. was actually founded in the 19th century and, as soon as Farrant appeared in the media in 1970, it immediately distanced itself from him and condemned his asinine behaviour, which might explain why he later sought his revenge by falsely adopting the B.O.S. nomenclature. Yet he did not do so until some considerable time after he was aware of the societys existence. His own B.P.O.S. is a figment of his imagination created in 1983 and then backdated to 1967. Farrant claims he first met Seán Manchester in the 1960s, which is another falsehood (dates vary according to his mood and obviously cancel each other out). They actually met circa late February / early March 1970. Farrant claims to know the identity of Lusia, and twice during the interview names a totally innocent female (who was a photographic model known to Seán Manchester at the time) who is not Lusia. It must be wondered what Farrant could find to talk about of any interest were it not for the man at the centre of the Highgate Vampire case who later wrote an account (The Highgate Vampire) about the real investigation which became an instant bestseller? Would anyone have ever heard of Farrant had he not latched onto Seán Manchester? Everything Farrant claims is both self-contradictory and self-consciously a form of twisted and perverted impersonation of Seán Manchester, the man who led the investigation from start to finish. There is barely a single statement made by Farrant during the entire interview which is factually accurate; almost as if he is completely incapable of uttering the truth. Curiously enough, that he is an inveterate and compulsive liar was ultimately the verdict of magistrates, judges, juries, journalists, newspaper editors and the police in the crucial decade of the 70s.
