Anthony Hogg

The above images are Seán Manchester's copyright. Hogg nevertheless stole them to publish them on his and Erin Chapman's website to further their stalking of the women, one of whom he misidentifies.

Seán Manchester has been a close friend of both women. He now offers his final word on the matter:

Anthony Hogg claims that his stalking of two women also includes others who are not female. He identifies Keith Maclean in a recent comment on his Facebook group, but absolutely nobody else.

I have taken a look at all the newspapers and their respective websites where the advertisement appears and only the names of Jacqueline and Elizabeth appear. No other names are included. This is confirmed in Trystan Lewis Swale's original statement: 

"Through [my] site I recently issued a joint appeal with [Anthony Hogg and Erin Chapman] to trace two alleged victims of the Highgate Vampire: Jacqueline [surname deleted] and Elizabeth [surname deleted]. Collectively, we are keen to obtain something that nobody else has — first hand recollections from the pair."

Swale and Hogg made it abundantly clear their pursuit concerned only the two identified women.

Despite all that has been shared, Hogg insists that the women must speak out or be forever stalked:

"We don't really know if they want to be left in peace. As explained, several times over, [Seán Manchester] is not their guardians. [He's] not their representatives. ... Our position on this matter is fairly clear and reasonable." - Anthony Hogg (The Enfield Independent newspaper)

Jacqueline made me her representative a very long time ago. She was absolutely explicit about her privacy not being violated, and I intend to uphold that wish. I knew her extremely well, and am all too aware of how she would react. Elizabeth reiterated her desire to have her privacy protected when we recently spoke at length about this matter. I represent her, too. Should either female be run down by these stalkers it might easily become a police matter. I knew both these women extremely well and am in no doubt how they would feel about being exploited by the likes of Anthony Hogg and Erin Chapman. Swale has now dropped out. Brushing aside my words while insisting that the women speak for themselves defeats the exercise because by that point their privacy will have been violated.

Hogg keeps referring to both women as "witnesses," but only one of them was a witness. He demands that he hears what she has to say, and insinuates that I might be "scared" of what she reveals. This ignores the fact that she gave her testimony at the time. It features in her own voice on the Discovery Channel's True Horror: Vampires where Elizabeth can be heard from the late 1960s discussing her experiences at Highgate. The other person named by Hogg was a personal friend and photographic model. Jacqueline is not identified by me as a witness in the Highgate Vampire case because she was not a witness. She is misidentified by Hogg as "Lusia" who, in fact, has never been identified and is not the person used to illustrate her in my books. Like Elizabeth, "Lusia" was not referred to in the media during the time when massive interest was being shown. 

Though her experiences, eg nightly visitations etc, were briefly touched upon in 1970 during television interviews I gave, Elizabeth was not actually identified by name. That came later when the hysteria had died down and she was eventually identified in Peter Underwood' anthology The Vampire's Bedside Companion and, of course, my own The Highgate Vampire. Regarding Jacqueline, Swale and Hogg are pursuing this woman due to their own Farrant-inspired false attribution.

Anthony Hogg has reiterated that his stalking of these private women will continue:

"We made it very, very clear to Manchester, repeatedly, that we were not going to take his word on the matter. The only people we were going to listen to is Jacqueline and Elizabeth. The reason is obvious: a) Manchester isn't these witnesses, b) his word is notoriously unreliable. The search still stands."

Hogg's condition undermines the wishes of Jacqueline and Elizabeth to be left in peace. Why should they be obliged to explain why they do not wish to be contacted? And were they to do so (something I know will not happen) they would have created the very situation they want to avoid because Hogg and Chapman will by virtue of that fact have established contact with the women and will have successfully run down their quarry.

Finally, I should remind these offenders that stalking and harassment of another or others can include a range of offences such as those under: the Protection from Harassment Act 1997; the Offences Against the Person Act 1861; the Sexual Offences Act 2003; and the Malicious Communications Act 1988.

In 2016, Angie Mary Watkins, who knows Hogg better than most, posted this on her group:

"Anthony Hogg has announced on his group, Did A Wampyr Walk in Highgate, why he was booted out of THIS [Angie Mary Watkins' Highgate Facebook] group again. It wasn't quite like he says. He knew before he came back that there were people in the group, one person in particular, he actually did not like. Yet he wanted to come back. But after that, he complained to me privately that he felt victimised, and bullied and steamrollered. Several times he called me a bully. He said we all 'ganged up' on him. So, in addition to all the other things he has called me in the past-like a fuckwit , a moron, a liar, arrogant, a lowlife and of course, last but not least, a c**t, I am now also a bully! He said he was not my 'peasant,' that I was in "Seán [Manchester]'s pocket,"and in his opinion, letting him back in the group was not a huge concession. He also said I singled him out and suppressed his say. I don't look at it that way? What more can I really add to that?" - Angie Mary Watkins

Not a lot. Many have had an identical experience with Hogg. Some have suffered worse things from this troll who probably has narcissistic personality disorder, which is a mental disorder whereby people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for admiration and a lack of empathy for others. But behind this mask of ultra-confidence lies a fragile self-esteem that is vulnerable to the slightest criticism. That describes the Australian troll Anthony Hogg perfectly.

Moral degenerates like Anthony Hogg and company ought to be totally ignored. He is quite obviously a sociopath who knew neither the late David Farrant, or Seán Manchester. Farrant, in fact, loathed the man. When someone spends their life stalking and posting hateful comments, they are never going to change. Not today. Not tomorrow. Never. Kick them into the long grass and totally forget about them.

Maybe Hogg should concentrate on his two illegitimate children in Australia, and try getting closer to them (their mother apparently wants nothing to do with him despite him begging her to marry him) instead of sticking his nose into other people's business in a land he has never visited, which is thousands of miles away on the other side of the world? There is something unsettling and creepy about the way Hogg has taken such a close interest in Seán Manchester for the past thirteen or so years. The number of people who contact Seán Manchester to attest to how they feel about Hogg's obsession is witness enough to the real situation.

The others are minnows, but stalking minnows nonetheless.

None of them bother Seán Manchester in the slightest. Especially now he has an arsenal of damning facts about the lot of them.

It is perfectly understood that, as atheists and Marxists with associations to those on the Left-hand Path, they are, of course, bound to make Seán Manchester public enemy number one. He would not have it any other way. Indeed, he would be seriously concerned if any of them were to actually behave any differently towards him. These disgusting specimens are his natural enemy.

They are best relegated to their own peculiar oblivion where it should efface them, assigning a bunch of non-entities to their deserved destination. Nobody but other misfits with a penchant for aberrant behaviour have ever had the time of day for any of them.
