There are many things you might expect to see walking home from work in south east London, but a satanic ritual is not one of them.

That's what one lucky man found last Friday, December 13, at around 6:30am whilst walking past Plumstead Station.

Satanic writing painted the shop shutters near the station, and there were reportedly a number of dead animals found on the floor outside the shop.

Numerous rats, mice and a fish were all left in the weird ritual.

Whether this has something to do with the results of the General Election the day prior we do not know, but the words EXTANARA SATAN roughly translate as "The Devil is the Devil" in Banga.

People on Facebook reacted with a mixture of surprise and horror, with one commenter saying: "There are some real nutters out there these days, this is disgusting."

Another remarked: "So tired of these drug dealers trying to summon Baal and other lesser demons," whilst one good citizen called for the public to support the shop involved and "show as a community that we don't support this crap."

According to the person who snapped the unpleasant situation, he shared it on Facebook in case someone else could shed some light on the bizarre writing.

The mess was reportedly cleared away that night, and was repeated again the very next morning.
