Did A Wankyr Wank In Highgate?

The deliriously "bonky" prose generated by the author of The Highgate Vampire is legendary, and any Farrant/Bonky Feud blog would be remiss if it didn't mention the incident when our intrepid vampire hunter enjoyed a "nude (and some say lewd) interlude" alone in that famous graveyard. This incident is described in great detail by the author so we won't repeat it here. Suffice to say, Bonky boldly stripped off his street clothing with the intention to change into a flowing, silky dressing gown he'd carried there with him. Apparently something about the sight and feel of the silk put him in a "randy" mood, for he lingered there naked in the moonlight for some time. No one knows exactly what he was doing, but some have speculated that he "took matters into his own hands", so to speak!

AND THERE CAME A GIANT SPIDER AND . . .

That's about the size of it Cat. He took maters 'into his own hands' whilst saying he was virtually naked in a private graveyard. Then he claims to have 'staked' a giant vampire spider.

The mind truly boggles, if the author really expects rational people to believe this - it truly does!

That situation begs a host of --unanwered--questions! Who was the girl in the grave--the cemetary in question was unable to point researchers to a grave where the burial of a young girl took plce at the time, their records had no one,cerainly not "Luisa"=--though Bonky said it wasnt her real name.Accoording to Bonky's book Luisa had no medical treatment or investigations for her "anaemia"--most irresponsible, coudl be construed as culpable neglect actually--- other than Bother Keith's nourishing broth. He is implying that her death was directly due to the vampire bite--and , according to his "theory" he was correct as she was not at rest in her grave--hence the giant spider scenario. If there was any substance to this ludicrous yarn, there would have been medical backup and documentation as to cause of death etc, and records of the burial at the cemetary, also what did her family think???????

Cat, please do a picture of Brother Keithe nourishing broth factory in Wales! I once went there and saw great cauldrons in the garden and a noxious vapour wafting through the streets! hee hee

This whole accout of a beautiful young 'vampire' suddenly appearing by her grave then promptly turning into a 'giant spider' only to be 'staked' and set alight by a virtually naked bonky, is obviously all pure fiction.

If anything is funny at all, it is the way this fiction has been presented as 'fact'. And then Bonky expecting people to take him seriously!

You asked what the girl's family thought, Barbara, about this alleged account of her death.

More to the point I think, is what 'Lusia' herself thinks about it? She would obviously know that this whole story about her 'demise' has been fabricated, as indeed, her part in that home-made 'vampire film' was purly fictional and not based on real fact.

So the question must be, I think, what does SHE think about all the nonsense and the claims made by Bonky? Maybe somebody should ask her!

Also what do the Wace family think, in whose tomb the anonymous"European nobleman aka King Vampire" was run to earth by Bonky. Maybe there are no descendetns left that know about it, but whoever the tomb belonged to it was desecrated and one of its coffins opened by Bonky--this isn't libel, he says it is so in the Highgate Vampire book, and he messed around with these garlic mullocks as he didn't want to stake it then, he waited till it went walkabout to the Victorian mansion at Crouch end. Anyhow, the point is, he broke into somebody's tom.

For a few years I have been considering a truly dreadful possibility in regard to the true identity of the Highgate Vampire. If you study closely the photographs published in Lord Bonky's book I think you will agree that the 'Vampire' bears a striking resemblance to none other than Noel Edmunds.

I will certainly ask her myself, Overseer, when somebody tells me where she is. And I would do so under my own name. That's no problem as she would remember me.

Who knows? One day she might even come forward of her own accord to set straight all the rubbish bonky has written about her.

Excellent.

Oh, but I've got to ask: where did you get the idea that Jacqueline = Luisa in the first place?

How did you verify this?

In the meantime, I've got a lead.

Manchester actually saw fit to publish a "real" pic of Luisa, here.

Is the woman in that photo, Jacqueline?
