The Ratman of Southend is an English urban legend from Southend-on-Sea in Essex. It tells of an old homeless man who, sheltering from the cold in an underpass, was attacked by a gang of youths and beaten nearly to death; cold and blood loss did the rest. As he died the vermin of the place gathered and were found to have eaten his face. Afterwards a ghostly figure was seen in the underpass, with rat-like squeals and scraping as of large claws on the walls. A short film about the Ratman by Michael Holiday was entered in the 2019 Horror-on-Sea festival, and the Ratman appears as an enemy in the 2024 mod Fallout: London.
