Seán Manchester was the last President of the British Occult Society. He was also the first to partly bring the British Occult Society from out beneath its dusty covers where it had languished for more than a century. Elected on 21 June 1967, he remained until the British Occult Society's dissolution on 8 August 1988. Hence Seán Manchester features prominently. The above image shows him during an exorcism attempt at Highgate Cemetery in 1970, as recorded in the Hornsey Journal, 28 August 1970, under the heading "Secret Exorcism At Highgate Tomb."

It was us who supplied that particular piece of information now apparently being used against us by someone on the other side of the planet. We state on our blog, as well as elsewhere on the internet, that the British Occult Society was formally dissolved on 8 August 1988. Curiously or not, as the case may be, its members did not dissolve, save for those who are long since deceased of which there are unfortunately all too many.

The British Occult Society as an organisation investigating occult and supernatural phenomena ceased to be an entity virtually quarter of a century ago. This blog is about the Britsih Occult Society by a remnant of its former members who are not "impostors" and resent being described as such.

The BOS is "truly inactive." Those of us comprising some of its former members, however, are not.

Seán Manchester, of course, is the author of The Vampire Exhumed, albeit a title unpublished but listed nonetheless, so whoever is claiming to represent The Vampire Exhumed must be an impostor!
