Not an ED thing but did anyone hear that blood curdling screaming coming from the nunhead cemetery (Linden Grove/Brockley Path corner) this evening around 10.30/11 ish. Im thinking it was some fight /attack to the death of a young fox but it was awful. Are there any animal knowledgable types out there who can explain what it was? I have heard mating foxes before but this was right scary.

Slightly off topic here but Nunhead cemetary has been the scene for many strange events over the years. I used to go along to some of the psychic investigations here and without doubt it is one of the scariest places after dark any time of the year. I always remember back in the 1970's when a group of dog walkers saw what appeared to be a lady in victorian dress walking with a lantern and as the group approached her she disappeared. On another ocassion a man reported seeing and hearing the sound of a group if young children giggling in one of the wooded areas of the cemetary and found no trace of anyone (this is in the wee hours of the morning btw). Always been a strange place, and sights and sounds are constantly reported without any conclousion ever being reached on what they are. May have been a fox, but judging by the history of this place, it could have been anything!

*Bob* organised the whole event.


During the daytime it isnt as frightening, but i'm sure psychic stuff goes on during the daytime too, although many experts on this subject matter believe that between 1 and 3am is the time at which most paranormal activity takes place.


I dare any of you to pitch a tent up there and no experience something strange.

HA HA HA HA


Great stuff. This preposterous guff will surely come back to, er, well - you know.

*Bob* you may find this highly amusing, but much paranormal activity has remained unexplained even by experts over the years. I guarantee if you went to one of these events you would come away with a different opinion. Some people remain so closed minded to the idea that there may be some sort of after life, the EDPS did all sorts of things that even the sceptical folk found difficult to explain.

Pah! As teenagers on a couple of occassions some friends and I spent the night in Nunhead cemetary getting smashed on cheap booze, various pills and smoking spliff and whatnot and I can't ever remember any of us getting spooked despite our state of mind. It's a beautiful old cemetary and a lovely place to go for a walk on a summer's day though I've not been there for a very long time (30 years or more).

Have you heard of anything paranormal happening in the Dulwich Woods?


Apparently there has been laughing and screams heard at night!


Oh and apparently after reading this : Spooky London East Dulwich is on a fertility ley line.


Mmmm maybe that explanation answers Roxie99 question and also mine!

Sense :-)

way back. I had a girl friend who came in one night white as a sheet. She said she had seen a ghost up by the cemetery gates, when she drove pass in her mini. Reluctantly she went back with me to investigate. It turned out there was this steam coming from some drains. It did look creepy in the dim light, but it was funny.

    • I would disagree that the tables outside the Blue Brick bothered nobody. They were not within the cafe's curtilage (one table was even placed on the other side of the road!) but on a narrow public footpath where pedestrians have a "public right of way". Added to that, some customers rearranged the tables so the footpath was blocked completely. 
    • Walking last Friday early evening anywhere near where the bottom end of Lordship Lane meets the Goose Green roundabout, one would have been directly confronted - as I was - with this scene: Outside the East Dulwich Tavern an impenetrable phalanx of pushing yobs, shouty louts and selfish yahoos pressed outward from the open doors of this establishment, past the curtilage (the land in front of and owned by the business), all across the public right of way, to the kerbside. This was the situation all the way along, end to end. I watched as passersby, old people, children, parents with buggies, people just going about their business, were forced by these booze-sucking bellowing scumbags onto the road - where, at that hour, traffic rushed endlessly off the roundabout. We have, I realised, somehow become so used to this revolting spectacles as to believe it to be inevitable. It is not. This is why I'm dropping this post. Enough really is enough. This roiling boozy blockade represents a total failure by all the responsible authorities - the licencing authority, for example - but most of all (yet once more, again, as ever), by Southwark Council. Two very different comparisons to give you some perspective: 1. The Kings Head pub on the corner of Albermarle and Stafford Streets, London SW1. Here too, patrons like to drink and chat outside on a warm evening - why should they not. But here, on the latter side a line marks the curtilage on the pavement. Drinkers remain, respectfully, in good order, within the line, watched, quietly and carefully, by a security guard. I wager good money this arrangement is a condition of this pub's licence. 2. The Blue Brick is a cafe in the quiet backstreets of East Dulwich, on the corners of Fellbrigg and Shawbury Roads. Until a few months ago, about half its covers were tables out on the pavement. They bothered nobody. Oh! But they extended all of several centimetres too far into the footpath, so into fearless action swang Southwark Council officers - and now these tables are gone. Result, eh? "Well you see," some wiseacre said to me, "There needs to be a complaint." Not actually true, but for sure this is all too often how local authorities get pushed to do what they should be doing. Hard to think why a complaint trumps, say (and god forbid!) a child being injured on the road. In which circumstance, of course!, Southwark would swing into noisy, virtue-signalling, belated action. But in any case let this post be considered a big, very definite COMPLAINT about this prolonged abuse of our public right of way. I invite readers who agree with me to add their voices. Oh, and all those wee local ward councillors might get off their chufties, defy their party managers, and actually help sort this scandal out. Thanks for reading, Lee Scoresby
    • Hi there, I saw that Google lists the park opening time as 7:30am, but I was wondering if it might actually open earlier than that - maybe anyone who’s out running early or passing by has noticed?
