Residents baffled by mysterious batman theme tune heard playing in Wythenshawe

People living in Wythenshawe have been left puzzled by a mysterious batman tune which has been heard echoing through the streets.

Locals say the theme tune, commonly associated with the fictional DC comics superhero, has been playing near Wythenshawe Hospital around the same time, on a daily basis.

One mother has been left so curious by the noise, she took to Facebook to investigate where it is coming from.

She wrote: "Right, does anyone hear this random batman tune near Wythenshawe Hospital?

"It's doing my head in.

"Every now and again you can hear it from the Children's Ward, it's outside somewhere.

"It's nothing to do with the hospital but I want to know."

"It was driving me mad wondering where it was coming from for months, I mentioned it to my son that works nearby and he told me.

Another wrote: "Sandwich van that goes to the buildings across the way from the hospital.

"Only know that as my husband works in one of the buildings and I've seen and heard it when I've been there."
