Man haunts Punggol neighbourhood with 'creepy laughter' early in the morning

What's your morning alarm? For some residents at Punggol Coast, it's one man's "creepy" laughter.

A TikTok video of a man laughing as he walked around the neighbourhood was posted on Monday (Aug 10) by user flowersforteas.

The man, dressed in a black tank top and shorts, could be heard making low, disjointed sounds in the video as he crosses a traffic junction. 

His deep, abrupt sounds becomes more frequent before he breaks out into a low, rumbling laughter as he arches his back and walks backwards.

The booming sound echoes as he emits a high-pitched cackle and the video ends.

The TikTok user wrote: "6am: Birds are chirping, the sun is rising, and one man has decided the entire neighbourhood needs to hear his creepy laughter."
