Every night at 10:00 PM, the “Flogsta scream” can be heard in Flogsta, a neighborhood in the western outskirts of the Swedish city of Uppsala.
At that moment, students throughout the region scream collectively from windows, balconies, and rooftops.
How the Flogsta scream began is debated.
Some residents claim it began as a stress reliever students used during exams and then became a daily occurrence.
Others say it started in remembrance of an unidentified student who committed suicide in the 1970s.
Either way, it can’t be helping property values in the neighborhood.
