Some light entertainment for your morning scan of the internet:

Last night about 10pm my next door neighbor (who lives in the upstairs section of the house and is rarely in) came home and immediately started screaming at the top of her voice something along the lines of:


"I ward you of evil spirit

leave this place" (x3)

[brief pause]

"Holy Spirit" (x3 sung in fast triplets)

[brief pause]

"Holy Spirit" (x3 sung in fast triplets)


and then start all over again.


This was while she was jumping up and down and running all over the flat until 2am. Then the TV came on full blast and was still on when I left for work this morning.


I was so concerned about these evil spirits I stayed awake most of the night to make sure they didn't get me too and thankfully made it unscathed...I think the mantra worked so I'll go thank her if I bump into her.


In full honesty it was maddening cos her living room is right next to our bedroom so we had front row/bed seats to the whole performance; and always do when she pulls wack stuff like this. I'm going to be on the coffee hard today!

It's a commonly held belief that spirit is more likely to play up between the witching hour and 4am. Many reports of poltergeist activity have been reported to my spirit church and they provide regular healing to clear off negative spiritual energy.


If you do get a chance to speak to your neighbour feel free to provide her with my contact details on here and I can have a quiet word next time I am down Eltham.


It's not nice having to deal with poltergeist activity.

So in regards to her health: I think she likes a drink, or whatever else may be her substance of choice. The previous tenant was a crack addict and we used to have all manner of crazies there all times of the day screaming up at her window to let them in; in relative terms this is pretty tame. Still sucks having having whether you get to sleep one night in the hands of other people.
Hard to comment without knowing more about the neighbour as cultural or religious factors (ETA: or reaction to prescribed medication, or some kind of traumatic event) could also be behind it (or maybe the place actually is haunted). Perhaps you could knock on her door and say you were really concerned for her last night as she sounded scared and you wonder if there's anything you can do to help? Her response should give you an idea what's going on. If mental health issues ARE involved, she may already be known to MH services and have a care coordinator or crisis team she can contact.

I think it's a real shame that sometimes we must immediately jump to the logical conclusion and doubt a persons sanity, simply because we choose not to believe in something we don't understand. This poor person could be perfectly rational and experiencing some sort of unexplained phenomena, and yet no one wants to help her explore that route without mockery. It's a very sad world we live in.

No, just a one youngish woman. She's rarely there, sometimes gone for months at a time so never really seen or met her.

If anyone here doubts the existence of spirit, then why don't you test it for yourselves. Sit alone in a dark room with a ouija board, and your finger hovering over the glass or word piece. I guarantee anyone that does this will eventually with patience attract spirit and possibly even communicate. It isn't something I would recommend to people to do, and I certaintly wouldn't touch it after the experiences I've had. But so many doubting Thomas's and nay saying Mary's on this forum that it's the only certain way I can ensure that you'll change your mind.

The only problem I'd have is the monumental waste of time...

LSD... was especially popular "back in the day", I believe..

Sounds to me that for whatever reason this lady felt the need to do a spiritual cleansing of her home.

I'm with Louisa on this...Why must she be crazy?

If she finds comfort and feels safer doing such rituals where is the harm

It's the TV that would unnerve me.


Not worried with spiritualism - my Mum was into that :)

    • I've never got Christmas pudding. The only times I've managed to make it vaguely acceptable to people is thus: Buy a really tiny one when it's remaindered in Tesco's. They confound carbon dating, so the yellow labelled stuff at 75% off on Boxing Day will keep you going for years. Chop it up and soak it in Stones Ginger Wine and left over Scotch. Mix it in with a decent vanilla ice cream. It's like a festive Rum 'n' Raisin. Or: Stick a couple in a demijohn of Aldi vodka and serve it to guests, accompanied by 'The Party's Over' by Johnny Mathis when people simply won't leave your flat.
    • Not miserable at all! I feel the same and also want to complain to the council but not sure who or where best to aim it at? I have flagged it with our local MP and one Southwark councillor previously but only verbally when discussing other things and didn’t get anywhere other than them agreeing it was very frustrating etc. but would love to do something on paper. I think they’ve been pretty much every night for the last couple of weeks and my cat is hating it! As am I !
    • That is also a Young's pub, like The Cherry Tree. However fantastic the menu looks, you might want to ask exactly who will cook the food on the day, and how. Also, if  there is Christmas pudding on the menu, you might want to ask how that will be cooked, and whether it will look and/or taste anything like the Christmas puddings you have had in the past.
    • This reminds me of a situation a few years ago when a mate's Dad was coming down and fancied Franklin's for Christmas Day. He'd been there once, in September, and loved it. Obviously, they're far too tuned in to do it, so having looked around, £100 per head was pretty standard for fairly average pubs around here. That is ridiculous. I'd go with Penguin's idea; one of the best Christmas Day lunches I've ever had was at the Lahore Kebab House in Whitechapel. And it was BYO. After a couple of Guinness outside Franklin's, we decided £100 for four people was the absolute maximum, but it had to be done in the style of Franklin's and sourced within walking distance of The Gowlett. All the supermarkets knock themselves out on veg as a loss leader - particularly anything festive - and the Afghani lads on Rye Lane are brilliant for more esoteric stuff and spices, so it really doesn't need to be pricey. Here's what we came up with. It was considerably less than £100 for four. Bread & Butter (Lidl & Lurpak on offer at Iceland) Mersea Oysters (Sopers) Parsnip & Potato Soup ( I think they were both less than 20 pence a kilo at Morrisons) Smoked mackerel, Jerseys, watercress & radish (Sopers) Rolled turkey breast joint (£7.95 from Iceland) Roast Duck (two for £12 at Lidl) Mash  Carrots, star anise, butter emulsion. Stir-fried Brussels, bacon, chestnuts and Worcestershire sauce.(Lidl) Clementine and limoncello granita (all from Lidl) Stollen (Lidl) Stichelton, Cornish Cruncher, Stinking Bishop. (Marks & Sparks) There was a couple of lessons to learn: Don't freeze mash. It breaks down the cellular structure and ends up more like a French pomme purée. I renamed it 'Pomme Mikael Silvestre' after my favourite French centre-half cum left back and got away with it, but if you're not amongst football fans you may not be so lucky. Tasted great, looked like shit. Don't take the clementine granita out of the freezer too early, particularly if you've overdone it on the limoncello. It melts quickly and someone will suggest snorting it. The sugar really sticks your nostrils together on Boxing Day. Speaking of 'lost' Christmases past, John Lewis have hijacked Alison Limerick's 'Where Love Lives' for their new advert. Bastards. But not a bad ad.   Beansprout, I have a massive steel pot I bought from a Nigerian place on Choumert Road many years ago. It could do with a work out. I'm quite prepared to make a huge, spicy parsnip soup for anyone who fancies it and a few carols.
