When we think of vampires, we tend to think of the classic movie depictions: the caped, pointy-toothed, dapper man in the crumbling mansion. They’re gothic villains, things out of romance novels and classical literature. The idea of fanged monsters running around and sucking the blood of hapless victims feels quaint and out of place in our modern, scientific world.
Which is why it’s so strange that in the early 1970s, a pair of vampire hunters stalked through a London cemetery, stakes in hand, doling out Buffy-style punishment on the undead as they rose from their coffins. But this actually happened, and happened that recently. It’s a story of good versus evil, of Satanic rites, occult societies and bloodsucking beasts set against the counterculture revolution of 1970s London. The lore, legend and truth of the Highgate Vampire will the subject of this series.

In Slaying Monster's first Halloween special, Matt and EJ tackle the Estes Method, the latest technology claimed to capture the voices of the dead. We dive into the history of EVPs, the Spiritbox and their inventors, and talk about the muddy science that surrounds ghost investigation.
Then, we review the findings from our own Estes session. We put the newest technique through its paces, with blinded and double-blind trials.
The full trial sessions are available to our supporters. Check them out, or become a supporter here:

I work in film and tv, both behind the camera and in the editing room. I’ve been a member of the International Brotherhood of Magicians for over 20 years. Since childhood, I’ve been obsessed with cryptids, the paranormal and conspiracy theories. I believe that everything deserves to be explored, and nothing exists in a vacuum. Every belief we hold, every experience we have and every story we tell is influenced by our background, our situation and the world around us.
Favorite horror movies:
Hereditary, Burnt Offerings, His House, Creature from the Black Lagoon, anything Godzilla, The Ritual, Lake Mungo, Underwater, Amityville Horror (1979), Alien, Trollhunter
Favorite horror books/stories:
The Shining, Pickman’s Model, The Yellow Wallpaper, Was it a Dream?, A Headful of Ghosts, the Night Watch series, Crouch End, Something is Killing the Children
If I was a cryptid I’d be:
Either a cadborosaurus, so I’d be able to swim around the ocean, or Mokele-Mbembe because dinosaurs are awesome
Non-paranormal pursuits:
Woodworking, flyfishing, giving treats to cats

As an introvert that thrives on deep, meaningful conversation, I guess I’m a walking paradox. I grew up in a creaky old farmhouse in Upstate New York where I played with frogs and made all the adults call me Macgyver. When I was a kid, I saw something that looked like a sasquatch run through the swamp behind my house. I’m fascinated by what we think we see and what beliefs we hang on to, even as more information comes to us. Let’s get into it.
Favorite horror movies/TV shows:
Parasite, Paranormal Activity, One Cut of the Dead, Hush, Creep, Midnight Mass, Train to Busan, Nope, Midsommar
Favorite horror books/stories:
The Terror, House of Leaves
If I was a cryptid, I’d be:
Bigfoot because you’re always warm, you’re an apex predator, and you live alone in the woods away from people. What more could you ask for??
Non-paranormal pursuits:
Martial arts, knitting/crochet, exploring nature, writing
