Quote:
If you screamed as loud as you could from a window tonight, you’d probably receive several invitations to shut the heck up, but but not in the Flogsta neighborhood of Uppsala, Sweden. As this video creepily demonstrates, this community has a daily ritual called "the Flogsta scream" in which each night at 10 p.m., students scream collectively from windows, balconies and rooftops. Its origin is debated: Some say it’s a stress relief technique that emerged during exam times and became a daily habit. Others say it began as a remembrance of a student’s suicide in the 1970s. We're betting some outsiders might admit that the first time they heard it, they needed new pants.

Seems like the perfect time to commit a crime. I wonder if any criminals have taken advantage of this.

Darn university students!

(For those who don't know, there are a lot of student apartments in that area, so that is most likely something that was just planned on one of the two local universities, not a common occurrence)

"Wolf! Wolf!"

hahaha

Oddly enough, Sweden has been experiencing a steady increase in their crime rates from the latter half of the 20th century to now. It's still now Detroit, Chicago, or Manchester, but it's strange.

"Flogstaskriket" (The Flogsta Yell) is a student tradition dating back to at least the 70ies. It is most definitely a common occurrence where there are student residences. There are similar yells in other places. "Elvaskriket" (The 11 'o clock yell) in Lund, the Delphi yell in Uppsala and "Lappkärrskriket" in Stockholm.


Even though I am a student, studying at KTH (one of the two nearby universities) I've never even heard about that.

I live in Northern Michigan, I could walk out my door at 10pm and scream, the only ones who would hear me are the deer and bears.....some small game, not a human in ear shot.

Nothing would happen here.....must be crowded in Sweden wink
