Moment teens tumble across ‘Somerset Gimp’ caught on film

Two chefs turned the tables on the infamous “Somerset gimp” last week after encountering the West Country stalker writhing around on the floor of an area of woodland. The pair, Alex Warren, 19, and Charlie Bond, 20, recorded a gimp-suited man who approached them in Cleeve, North Somerset, during the early morning at around 12.25am on Tuesday, October 25. They recorded a video showing the man’s disturbing ritual, which saw him squirm on the ground and speak in tongues, but the onlookers appeared unfazed.The trained chefs videoed the gimp as they returned from celebrating Mr Bond’s birthday in the early hours, showing a tall man clad in black from head to toe, wearing gloves, a mask and seemingly covered in animal poo.As the man approached them, he dropped to the grassy floor and started writhing around while muttering unintelligible words.His speech was “high pitched” and “quite different from writhing around on the floor speaking some demon language’.Mr Warren said the bizarre display was a ‘clear attempt’ at intimidation that had ‘backfired spectacularly’ because he ultimately realised they were not scared of him.READ MORE: Chinese diplomat involved in protester attack must be expelled Full stomach-churning video of new ‘Somerset Gimp’ sighting speaking ‘demon language’ (Image: MEDIA EXPOSURE) The Somerset gimp has operated in Somerset for three years (Image: MEDIA EXPOSURE) The two men laughed at the gimp, who realised they were not intimidated (Image: MEDIA EXPOSURE)’We were literally out on the green (in Cleeve) for about 10 minutes before we saw this drunk guy stumbling down, and he started interacting with us.’It was quite obvious who he was, the guy’s a local legend and is known all about.’He had latex gloves and was covered in an earthy liquid like he’d been rolling around in fields or dunking in septic tanks.”He was quite pungent with this earthy sort of smell.
