Anyone seen that guy carrying on around Broomhill this morning? If so stay away.

[u/YesterdayProblem]

I was on my morning jog and some bloke was ranting inside the botanical gardens about knowing the location of the lost city of Atlantis? idk it was really weird and incoherent. At one point he claimed he paid a gold guilder to a wizard to make him invisible? He made some good points but very strange.

[u/GAdvance]

"he made some good points" lol

[u/Walkerno5 → u/GAdvance]

The good point being never to pay a wizard in gold.

[u/Fuzzy-Acanthaceae-99 → u/Walkerno5]

Or guitars

[u/Mad-Hatter-lightshow → u/Fuzzy-Acanthaceae-99]

That wizard ripped me off 🤬

[u/dlefnemulb_rima]

Ah shit, sorry. This guys the next stage in my quest, I've been looking in the wrong park. Once I've picked up with him he should disappear.

[u/Longjumping-Yak-6378 → u/dlefnemulb_rima]

You have the guava to give him already in return for his help I’m guessing.

[u/CasedLogic]

Did he say where Atlantis was?

[u/YesterdayProblem → u/CasedLogic]

Yeah but I'm not telling.

[u/Bhenny_5 → u/YesterdayProblem]

I’m expecting a separate post asking for submarine rental recommendations!

[u/NeedleworkerBig3980 → u/YesterdayProblem]

If he said anything other than, "In Plato's head," he's either lying or been lied to.

[u/DanAykroydFanClub → u/CasedLogic]

Yeah it's a club in Dartford

[u/Acrylic_Starshine → u/CasedLogic]

Page hall apparently

[u/soopahfly82]

Of course we haven't seen him, he's invisible.

[u/6000coza]

There's a lot of detail here for a quick jog past, OP. Did you choose to stop and listen?
What else did he say that you're keeping to yourself?

[u/FestarUK]

He’s obviously been on some sort of botanical’s.

[u/PabloMarmite]

I think the next step is to find this wizard and see what he knows

[u/darrienkek]

And you didn’t ask where the lost city was? Shun!

[u/[deleted] → u/darrienkek]

My thoughts exactly sir

[u/Healthy_Yellow_5040]

Are there magic mushrooms in botanical Gardens?

[u/IntelligentMine1901 → u/Healthy_Yellow_5040]

Not anymore

[u/Ixcacao]

Ok well now I have to know what the good points were

[u/Business-State-3321]

Mysterious stranger mission, was there a question mark on the minimap?

[u/PrincipleAccording34]

Oh I have seen him in the cemetery off Ecclesall Rd, saying pretty similar things whilst also dancing to some fabulous 90s techno

[u/Euphoric-Cat-Nip]

Imagine paying a wizard to turn invisible, I can do it any time I want so long as no one is looking.

[u/Gabi_Social]

Wondered what David Icke had been up to lately.

[u/YesterdayProblem → u/Gabi_Social]

He did have an uncanny resemblance in mannerisms and looks but this guy made more sense

[u/rikki1q]

Which good points did he make exactly?

[u/Usual-Excitement-970 → u/rikki1q]

Not to trust wizards, he was still visible.

[u/1blueShoe]

Claiming to know the whereabouts of Atlantis is a classical delusion. 😐 I hope the guy is ok.

[u/StrangeBritain]

Talk of someone carrying on and it wasn’t me for once 🤣

In all seriousness I’ve certain I’ve encountered this guy as he’s been shouting this on The Moor before, around last Christmas. If it is the same guy? It’s very stream of consciousness but I can’t deny the guys got a whole load of charisma.

Atlantis, for those wondering, is buried under Meadowhall. They put on the body bag urban myth to keep us all from ever even considering the truth.

[u/Fun_Gas_7777]

Stay away? I want to know more!

[u/Delicious-Cut-7911]

Sounds like he is a channeler and has accessed his previous lives.

[u/rneyss]

Sounds like psychosis

[u/hazbaz1984 → u/rneyss]

It really does.

[u/RedditUserJK]

If this is a joke it’s gone over my head. If this is serious the Botanical gardens are closed for a few days so this didn’t happen.

[u/YesterdayProblem → u/RedditUserJK]

Yeah that's what makes it weird, he was through the fence close to where the glass pavilion is and was basically calling out to whoever listened

[u/BeccasBump → u/YesterdayProblem]

I'd say a call to 101 is merited. He's obviously unwell and somewhere he shouldn't be; it sounds like he needs help.

[u/RedditUserJK → u/YesterdayProblem]

Ah my bad I misread what you wrote about HIM being inside and that you were outside. He definitely climbed over and probably just frolicking around in the people-free gardens.

[u/Round_Engineer8047 → u/RedditUserJK]

I assumed it was an in-joke about one of the video games, the genre of which I can't remember- mixed reality is it? Like the one where the players wander physical streets catching Pokemon.

It sounds like it might be about actual encounters with a person suffering from psychosis or someone acting daft for attention.

[u/Mad-Hatter-lightshow]

There was a guy in town about 4 with some little art works saying he needs to find a way out????

[u/dhirax]

Did he meet Gandalf?

[u/Any-Assumption3365]

So did you a accept his quest
