"The remit of this long established Society was the investigation of all occult phenomena. The British Occult Society (BOS) initiated the thirteen year investigation into the case of the Highgate Vampire. ... It did not engage in the practice of occultism, but existed for the purpose of examining occult and paranormal phenomena. Dr Devendra P Varma and Peter Underwood were both life members. Many other notable authors and scholars were among the esteemed membership."
