Mystery surrounds a "haunting animal-like howling" which plagues sleeping residents of Belvedere.

Sleepy folk claim the "scary moaning" can be heard across Clydesdale Way, Norman Road and Upper Belvedere every night and into the early morning.

Chloe Philpot, 25, said: "Over the past month or so I have been hearing an extremely haunting animal-like howling.

"It is repetitive but each sound is never the same.

"I know a few people in the area have tried to search for the source to no avail.

"It's getting scary."
