An egg-obsessed prankster has been the talk of the campus in the past weeks, leaving unexpected presents outside student’s flats.

The prankster, who has only revealed that he is a 21-year-old student in his second year, refers to himself as ‘Egg Scream’.

The second year student cooks eggs back in his flat and delivers them to other students doorsteps, before doing a runner.

He claims to never have been caught and his true identity is only known by four people, and he wants it to remain that way.

The masked menace has even branched out onto the internet, with his very own Facebook page, which has since amassed 80 friends.

Egg Scream insists he is doing nothing wrong, and even leaves the cooked eggs in envelopes so as to not make a mess.

He claims to have struck over 50 victims since he hatched the plan a month ago.

Whereas most students seem to be strapped for cash at this time of the year, Egg Scream clearly has the funds to shell out on his hobby.

“We normally buy a pack of 30 eggs. I think it cost £2.50 last time or something,” he said.  “I mainly do boiled and fried eggs but I may expand my business and do a full English!”

“Nobody has seen me, I just leave the egg and do one but I always leave a message on them. It’s only a laugh and people seem to like it,” he added.

Some students don’t appear to have been quite as cracked up by his antics however. Jessica Brady, a student who lives in one of UCLan’s halls, said: “My friend knows who he is but I suppose it is a bit freaky when he says he will be visiting people’s flats.”

Mr. Scream has so far only struck in UCLan’s Kopa Halls, but insists he has his next target in his sights, warning “I might pay your flat a visit soon!”

That’s all for now yolks!
