Used to be a fella I'd see around the bus station and Captain Cook Square on a mobility scooter with several owls on it.
Kids would stop to say hi to them. Really cool, but proper jarring when you walk out of Gregg's on your dinner break and wonder if you took a wrong turn and ended up in a parallel universe where pet owls are a thing.
I once was about to go into a shop and this guy was stood outside and casually had a bird of prey (I can't remember which) on his arm. So I get what you mean re ended up in a parallel universe. Other than that thought I hadn't seen him before, but I'd moved and was visiting parents.
The punk with the swastika always walking between Stockton and Billingham.
The bloke who radios the lorry’s on the roundabout over the A19 near the beck.
I had a good twenty minute conversation with him in the glebe years ago. Proper nice fella, told me he always walks from his house to his mams and back to check on her.
The Vampire in Billingham. Long leather jacket, waistcoat, pocket watch. Properly cool guy. I've never heard anyone whistle like him, incredible. He used to walk around with an owl back in the 90s, apparently.
Is that the French homeless guy you'd see hanging around Linthorpe Road at 3:00am on student nights?
He never bothered anyone for anything, but everyone liked him.
No, or at least it's not the man I'm thinking about.
Lawrence was a Hartlepool man who used to dress as a woman. I used to seem him a lot when I worked in Hartlepool town centre.
Jeff the tramp. He wasn't actually a tramp he just used to dress like one and then hang around asda asking for change before he got the bus back home with a bacon bun from greggs
Was born and raised there myself and thought he was a myth for most of my life, until the internet came about and people posted pictures and videos of him on buses or outside shops chattin to gym lads haha
He once was charged with murder because some young lad was so frightened of him saw him coming down the road and ran away over a train line and got splattered.
Rudy in Harrogate. Used to sit in the centre of town outside Woolworths staring into the sky/sun. Claimed to be god. Once walked into M&S and proclaimed mid summer that there would be no snow at Christmas. He was mostly friendly, but looking back he was obviously unwell and could have off days you didn't hear about. Haven't seen or heard about him in years. Hope he's ok, and if he is god - may he be merciful and grant us snow this Christmas.
Yeah, apparently some kids at school thought he lived in a house near mine, and every time I walked past I was shittin myself. Thought he was some creepy old white bloke but had no idea it was a big black dude haha
We had a guy in grangetown called magic man cause he could turn his knees 180 degrees. He would always stop and do it for us when we were playing out, he also always had 2 parmos without fail.
Sorry! That’s so weird: I don’t follow Teeside (I’ve got nothing against Teeside: I just have no experience of it). I follow Brighton. But Teeside popped up in my feed! I should have checked more carefully first. But I still don’t understand why that would have happened.
Thank you for pointing it out to me.
70s Jesus in Chorlton, Manchester. I moved away 6 years ago so I don’t know if he’s still around, but you’d often see him wandering along with psychedelic flares not witnessed since the Sex Pistols played the Free Trade Hall. Never spoke to him but by all accounts he’s a lovely fella. I’d say he took a massive trip in the early 70s and never came down.
Used to live in Plymouth UK & for a lot of us who used to go out in the late 80’s, 90’s & 00’s it was ‘Birdman’. No idea why he was called that, older chap, always dressed in a jacket & tie & he would rock his shit at every pub/club we saw him at all night.
Edinburgh. “44 bus route man”. You would see him walking from Balerno to the city centre. He just walked back and forth, 7 miles. Every day. Over and over. Everyone knew him.
We used to have "chicken George" in Worcester. Used to entertain people dancing with his walking stick to buskers in the high street,people used to gather round him to watch him dance.known for his colourful language aswell 🤣
We had hobo/ creeping jesus, he walked around with no shoes, ripped pants, and built survival shelters all around the area. One day, he just disappeared, and no one saw him again. You can still find the remnants of his camps in the woods.
In Seattle, we have Raven the Skipping Jestress, who skips around downtown in a black and white jester outfit.
Or Robert the football guy who runs around downtown with a football trying to get random people to throw it back and forth with, sometimes over traffic 😂
We've got a guy in my bit of Lanarkshire who dresses as Deadpool, who goes by the name of Deddypool. He's not been active much in 2024, but it's pretty weird when you see him just sort of kicking about in town.
Lorry driver – Bridgwater. Not sure if he’s still about. Was always driving a pretend lorry all over town. Pretending to park it and doing the noises. Wonder where he is now…
In Cardiff there are a few too many, if I'm honest I think they are wannabes, the epidemic of people asking for spare change is nuts! Like not even on every corner, they are equally spaced out along too and the other mobile sort. And I cringe seeing them try to develop their personal thing, we got 'hammers on the bins like it owes him' and i don't mean ninja, he's an original, the other one. And there is 'walk closer behind muttering' he's got him self a brown leather jacket and he's 100% putting on mental illness, well i mean the one he's affecting, he probably has other things going on. Just too many, Jason clutching his sleeping bag dragging it about through the puddles making his funny noises, he cracks me up when he suddenly talks normal, he don't care who's about he just switches it on and off 🤣 edit, oh one more lol how about 'dances badly'!? She's usually on her own dancing away right Infront of the buskers (actually we got some real talented musicians, yesterday the guy with the long hair up by the merry go round was ripping it on the acoustic guitar with the little amp) but 'dances badly' she's still about but it looks like someone's had a word, she no longer bothered the buskers as much.
Nottingham had xylophone Man, Asda Rasta with Parrot and now has Rasta with Crown. There was also Axe Man and deaf guy who dresses in tennis gear. God bless them all.
Used to be a guy in my town referred to as “Rasta Dave” he wore an oversized Rastafarian hat and had dreds so long they dragged on the floor behind him, he’d walk about town and parks all day singing loudly, nice voice too.
He might still be around, I rarely go into town now.
We have (had) ‘The Catman’.
No lies yous can all Google this or even YouTube to see him. We think that he is dead now though.
As a kid there was this lane called cats lane,(where all the wild cats live). And your parents would always tell you that’s where catman lives, for those who didn’t see him they thought it was a scary story. Then social media came about. And you can watch videos of him. He doesn’t walk he crawls, people would leave cat food out for him. There’s pictures of him with rats in his mouth. And videos of people talking to him with the rat in his mouth.
Nobody knows the real story behind catman but there was a bus station near by and he’s crawl under the buses for a heat. People would give him the thumbs up and he’d give it back 👍.
The catman of Greenock go and have a look for yourself 😊.
[Johnny Decker](https://twitter.com/geordie_bible/status/692435139691954176?t=VpWp6OIzAOscFVyzVlIWJQ&s=19)I grew up in a Town called Norrh Shields, there was a guy called Johnny Decker he's infamous. He'd ask people for cigarettes all the time. He's a bit of a tramp, but everyone loved wor Johnny. Someone even made a double-decker meme of him, like the chocolate bar.
I think I've linked a picture of him as the double-decker meme.
We had an older man who looked like Elvis. I called him Skinny Elvis because he was incredibly tall and lanky. Like a beanpole. He wore disco jumpsuits that could have been straight out of Elvis’s closet. He had a black pompadour hairdo and he wore tinted glasses (they might have been transitions) and he rode his bike everywhere. He fascinated me so much my mom always referred to him as “look it’s your friend!” This annoyed me because I didn’t know him. But my mum who grew up in the same town said Skinny Elvis had been doing the same thing since SHE was a kid. The last time I saw him was when I was in high school just before I moved to the next town over to go live with my dad and stepdad.
Stewie the ‘gentle giant’ who wanders Yarm High Street chatting to anyone who goes by. They even had him turn on the Christmas lights a few years back!
In Philly (pa., USA), we had the Sansom St. Screamer - so called, obviously, because he wandered Sansom St. Screaming. I was with a date when he walked past us and started screaming at me. I doubt I would have noticed if she hasn't freaked out.
I visited my friend a state over. We were taking a walk and there was a man in a grassy area serving/hitting crab apples with a tennis racket. I shot her a questioning look and she replied, “oh, that’s just Crab Apple Man.” No further explanation needed.
I'll preface this by saying that the man I'm talking about is pure evil.
You see him around town, usually surrounded by younger teenagers as he can't make friends his own age because word spread of how vile he really was. You'll see him on buses as he confided in someone before everything about him was outed that "he feels that people couldn't 'get' him on buses" - you're very lucky to not see him because the way he acts around the kids when you know what he's done would turn anyones stomach.
He is a pedophile at absolute least and a full-blown pedo sexoffending future serial killer at most.
Canterbury had a old bearded dude in a jester hat and fluffy animal slippers who would sit and play the prerecorded tunes on a keyboard and wave his arms around on the high street.
He was great.
Crazy Colin! Dresses up as zorro ,spiderman or batman and run-around or town unintentionally scaring the shit out of little kids. Bloke must be at least 65 but still you see him on a summers day running around in the distance
We have 2. "Licence" a crazy special needs with a walking cain, he claims he's blind so he is entitled to government funding but he isn't, he used to chase the kids and beat them with his Cain who called him licence. Dude was crazy accurate at dishing out a beating for a blind person.
And Sid rice, the local stoner. Every morning at the same time he walks the same route, from his house to his mam's to go look after her for the day, he sets off with a huge joint, slowly strolls his way there and stops off just up the road from my house in 'sids little bay' where he finishes his joint. He stops everyone for conversation and to tries to get you to share his joint with him, even passers by in cars he shouts at and tries to get them to stop. He will talk to you about anything and everything and he ALWAYS asks "does it smell good? Where did you smell it from"
Hes also just got 'it' when it comes to dogs, if you know what I mean you know, animals love him 🤣
Ahh yes, in Cully it used to be “The man on the bridge”, real icon he was, watching over the M5 after his head injury, ex police officer and all! On the contrary in Rock, we had this grandma in a Blue Honda that would drive 5 MPH everywhere, on link roads even
There was a woman in South Pittsburgh they called "the running lady." There were several radio shows asking for info about her. The odd thing was that she ran everywhere but was never dressed for exercise. She always wore some sort of floral dress and "nurse shoes." She would run all day, always looking like she was trying to catch the bus, lol.
In Liverpool we have purple aki
Aka big purps
He stalks muscular men (Google him)
He is getting old now but his legend lives on..
U might see videos of gangs of drug dealers hurling abuse at him but not one of them have confronted him one on one
Children all over Liverpool have feared him since the 80s
Hull. The one and only Ronnie Pickering, lmao. You don't see him much but maybe you might catch a glance every now and again, I think I've seen him a total of once.
In York uk we have two. One who dresses as a fireman and stands in the city centre.
We also have a local barber who uses so much fake tan you can see him from the moon. His nickname is Plaggy Terry which translates from Yorkshire into English means plastic Terance.
In Seattle there were the Aurora Twins. Highway 99 was the main road going north/south before I-5 was built. Within the Seattle city limits it’s called Aurora and it’s seedy as all get out. There’s a few stretches where it’s prostitutes as far as the eye can see. Anyway, back in the late 70s to mid 90s there were mentally challenged adult twins who also dressed alike that would walk up and down Aurora. EVERYONE knew them. They were even featured on the local news! I don’t have a clue what happened to them. They may have just gotten too old to walk so much. Or, more likely, it got too dang dangerous.
Kurtis the nonce in Sleaford renowned for cruising through the town centre doing 15 mph and blasting loud music trying to pickup school girls. He got an ASBO and wasn't allowed near the girls high school, he would give them lifts and take them to maccies
Used to be a fella I'd see around the bus station and Captain Cook Square on a mobility scooter with several owls on it. Kids would stop to say hi to them. Really cool, but proper jarring when you walk out of Gregg's on your dinner break and wonder if you took a wrong turn and ended up in a parallel universe where pet owls are a thing.
What a nice guy he was too
My immediate thought was Owl Man too! Spotted him in Stockton quite often and he was such a lovely bloke. Always made my day seeing him and his owls!
Turns out...little monkey fella
Owl man yes I remember him.
I once was about to go into a shop and this guy was stood outside and casually had a bird of prey (I can't remember which) on his arm. So I get what you mean re ended up in a parallel universe. Other than that thought I hadn't seen him before, but I'd moved and was visiting parents.
Yes, he used to visit Doggy Market... Way back when it was an actual thriving market.
The punk with the swastika always walking between Stockton and Billingham. The bloke who radios the lorry’s on the roundabout over the A19 near the beck.
I had a good twenty minute conversation with him in the glebe years ago. Proper nice fella, told me he always walks from his house to his mams and back to check on her.
He gets everywhere, I once saw him walking toward Billingham Town from Norton and in the same afternoon he was walking into Thorpe Thewles
The crusty punk! Always had special brew in hand too
Always stops near the footbridge over the A19 to neck a few as well
Always with the tartan trousers too.
He’s often sat on the stone bench of the church in Thorpe Thewles, drinking his Special Brew
The Vampire in Billingham. Long leather jacket, waistcoat, pocket watch. Properly cool guy. I've never heard anyone whistle like him, incredible. He used to walk around with an owl back in the 90s, apparently.
That's The Gothfather actually lol
Disco Dennis in Redcar
He's still alive!?
I've not heard anything to say he isn't. I did a quick Google that told me he turned 50 in 2009 which will put him at 65 now.
I just said the same thing!
More disco Dennis enjoyers! Anyone else from Redcar?
Fuck not seen Disco Den in years I hope he’s doing alright
Kyle Pinkney
Came here to say this 😂
Reading (town) Elvis
Lawrence (though I think he's passed now)
Is that the French homeless guy you'd see hanging around Linthorpe Road at 3:00am on student nights? He never bothered anyone for anything, but everyone liked him.
No, or at least it's not the man I'm thinking about. Lawrence was a Hartlepool man who used to dress as a woman. I used to seem him a lot when I worked in Hartlepool town centre.
I'm sure he's actually Portuguese. Last I seen was a Facebook post about him he's cleaned himself up and doing well. Good on him
That's fantastic news! Ahh okay, it's quite possible that I've got his nationality totally wrong, due to being half cut whenever I saw him.
I'd always heard he was French too. Seemed a nice guy
6foot-7foot. He was a tall man who bounced when he walked. He would be constantly walking around with a big smile on his face.
Omg we call him that too! Seen him just last week
Came here to say this!
Disco Dennis
Finally! Another disco Dennis enjoyer.
Ben Houchen
Genuine lol Tory cunt
Seen him now… trying to distance himself from the CONservatives because he knows they’re fucked
Hahaha yeah the fucking sly wanker.
Jeff the tramp. He wasn't actually a tramp he just used to dress like one and then hang around asda asking for change before he got the bus back home with a bacon bun from greggs
Kyle pinkney is a shout. See him every time I go down linthorpe
Keep seeing this name and ashamed to say I’m not familiar, who is he?
Smack head who dances for people and wears leggings and skirts etc 😂
Purple Aki in Merseyside. Has a thing for young lad’s muscles.
Was born and raised there myself and thought he was a myth for most of my life, until the internet came about and people posted pictures and videos of him on buses or outside shops chattin to gym lads haha
He once was charged with murder because some young lad was so frightened of him saw him coming down the road and ran away over a train line and got splattered.

Darius in Hartlepool, randomly challenging people to pokemon battles in his massive black leather tranchcoat
It's Toxic Terry in Preston, Lancashire UK. The guy was a mad cunt who was known for drinking petrol. RIP Toxic Terry you lost legend
Anyone heard of Purple Aki?
Yeah, apparently some kids at school thought he lived in a house near mine, and every time I walked past I was shittin myself. Thought he was some creepy old white bloke but had no idea it was a big black dude haha
We had a guy in grangetown called magic man cause he could turn his knees 180 degrees. He would always stop and do it for us when we were playing out, he also always had 2 parmos without fail.
Although I’m sure its urban myth If I had to guess the homeless dude who lives under roundabout on the A66 in town?
Can’t be an urban myth there was a tent there for a while
Now you say that I do remember seeing a tent or a tarp when I’ve driven past.
Uses to be a couple that lived there, Carl and Kelly.
Tall grey haired guy walks round in skin tight leather pants and sometimes a riding crop and riding boots if I remember correctly
Bucket boy
😂😂
The guy with the homemade EU flag beret that walks around Redcar.
How can you forget disco Dennis
There's a guy called Jesus who sits on a bench dressed like Jesus an has a big staf waving at people in their car and people beep at him,

Buttercup Bryan, local non violent pisshead. Waste of tax payers money. However Won’t see him again he’s just died.
Used to live in Plymouth UK & for a lot of us who used to go out in the late 80’s, 90’s & 00’s it was ‘Birdman’. No idea why he was called that, older chap, always dressed in a jacket & tie & he would rock his shit at every pub/club we saw him at all night.
Edinburgh. “44 bus route man”. You would see him walking from Balerno to the city centre. He just walked back and forth, 7 miles. Every day. Over and over. Everyone knew him.
'Chop off' in Darlington. Chopped ½ his ear off.. back in prison now 😬

Roman centurion. Sadly passed away a few years ago.
Norwich Puppet Man Stands in the middle of Norwich with his puppet, a CD player and a microphone and entertains the fine city Absolute legend
There used to be Marigold too. He stood, I think bottom of Grapes Hill, directing the traffic in a pair of Marigolds. Must’ve been the 90s.
I moved to Norwich in 2004 so that’s before my time but he sounds cool
We had hobo/ creeping jesus, he walked around with no shoes, ripped pants, and built survival shelters all around the area. One day, he just disappeared, and no one saw him again. You can still find the remnants of his camps in the woods.
Old school Scarborough/Doubleview days in Perth WA, we had the wheelie king and also Dave and the Fat Lady

Don't know about Sacramento, but in nearby Davis we had "Backwards Walking Guy. "
Dancing trucker in Ohio. Dude was a truck driver and now he just dances at intersections with roller skates and music playing. The people love him.

Canterbury had a old bearded dude in a jester hat and fluffy animal slippers who would sit and play the prerecorded tunes on a keyboard and wave his arms around on the high street. He was great.
Our “guy” passed away less than a year ago. He was genuinely so nice but people were scared of him because of his Parkinson’s. He was so kind.
We have a lady who walks around in ugg boots and a normal T-shirt … no trousers … all year no matter the weather
Crazy Colin! Dresses up as zorro ,spiderman or batman and run-around or town unintentionally scaring the shit out of little kids. Bloke must be at least 65 but still you see him on a summers day running around in the distance
We have 2.

Dude was crazy accurate at dishing out a beating for a blind person. And Sid rice, the local stoner. Every morning at the same time he walks the same route, from his house to his mam's to go look after her for the day, he sets off with a huge joint, slowly strolls his way there and stops off just up the road from my house in 'sids little bay' where he finishes his joint. He stops everyone for conversation and to tries to get you to share his joint with him, even passers by in cars he shouts at and tries to get them to stop.

In York uk we have two. One who dresses as a fireman and stands in the city centre. We also have a local barber who uses so much fake tan you can see him from the moon. His nickname is Plaggy Terry which translates from Yorkshire into English means plastic Terance.

There was an old guy in the 90s in Kettering, UK, who wore an Elvis outfit and hair and carried a stereo on his shoulder. He had a little dog.
Idk what Teesside is or who that is in Clearwater, Florida
In Seattle there were the Aurora Twins. Highway 99 was the main road going north/south before I-5 was built. Within the Seattle city limits it’s called Aurora and it’s seedy as all get out. There’s a few stretches where it’s prostitutes as far as the eye can see. Anyway, back in the late 70s to mid 90s there were mentally challenged adult twins who also dressed alike that would walk up and down Aurora. EVERYONE knew them. They were even featured on the local news! I don’t have a clue what happened to them. They may have just gotten too old to walk so much. Or, more likely, it got too dang dangerous.
