Weird demonic chanting on Peckham Rye common last night

[CP]

Did anyone hear this last night at about 3am? Really scary - could hear it from our flat. What's all that about?

[Penguin68]

Oh, that'll be the Zippo Circus Clowns winding themselves up for a fright-fest throughout ED. They rush round linking hands with the gypsies and ringing door bells. It's a tradition thing.

Apologies if our black mass (first Sunday of the month) upset anyone...hopefully our tea and scone morning won't be quite so disturbing

[louisiana]

CP, what makes you think it was demonic?

[jumpinjackflash]

it happens all the time in One Tree Hill opp Brenchley Gardens

[mandm]

It happens about three or four times a week, always 3AM, and drives me insane - I already posted about it. Very loud, a bit military drill sergeant, a bit horse racing commentator, a bit mad preacher. Didn't hear it last though which is unusual because it pretty much always wakes me up. I've called the council and they've given me the number for the community wardens who (apparently) can remove him if you call them when it's happening.

[CP]

Really? I didn't hear it last night either...but I have never heard it before! Your description is totally right. When did you post about it? Wonder who it is? Just some local weirdo? It freaked me out!

Here's previous post, from August: http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?20,519773,519773#msg-519773

I think 'some local weirdo' sums it up nicely. But I do think something should be done about it if it's causing people grief.

[CP]

I just checked out your post!! YES that's what I heard. I live in The Gardens in one of the houses looking over the common right near the doctors surgery! I was so scared when I heard it. How strange!

[Ridgley]

I live on Kelmore Grove, off The Gardens I did not hear anything?

[robotcat]

When I lived on the Rye a couple of years ago there was a man who used to practice his opera singing on the park well into the early hours. Could this be it?

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Must be snippets from Faust then!

[SteveT]

I wanna be Faust in the queue.

Oh to be Faust amongst equals.

The Faust time ever I saw your face.

to be continued........

faust come faust serve

Weird demonic chanting...circus'have changed since my time

[peckhamwry]

This has been going for getting on for almost a year at least. I'm often sitting on my balcony having a cigarette between 3 and 4am and can hear him very clearly from the Nunhead side of the Rye.

My partner started a thread about it 11 months ago: http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,374310

[Tarot]

Its chick holding one of those ever so interesting book meetings L.O.L.

[trillcosby]

just heard that shit, sweet!

[ianr]

Can someone please record it for the rest of us to appreciate?

[trillcosby]

i want 2 go find him/them next time i hear that shit

[mandm]

I've been tempted to go looking a few times but it's always too late and I can't be bothered to get out of bed. I like the idea of running him out of the park vigilante style though!! Anything for a good night's kip. I've been retiring to the spare room of late to avoid hearing it.

[Msgee]

this guy has serious mental health problems and is- I have no doubt- not doing it for fun/to ruin your sleep

I've seen him walking about with no shoes on :'(

I always think of trying to track down the community mental health team at 4 am when he wakes me up but find I manage to forget all about it in the morning :-$

[CP]

Oh my god - he was at it again last night at exactly 3.30am!! It went on for ages - it sounded like it was right outside my house - I was going to go down and see who the hell it was but I was too scared. Anyone else hear it?
