This area of the Chase is probably one of the earliest parts of the District to have been populated with the impressive earthworks of the monument being built over 2,000 years ago; some say it is a portal to another dimension.

Eye witnesses have reported the sighting of black eyed children moving around in the centre of the ring, white ghostly figures are often seen in the same areas, noises of hammering, chanting and singing. Yeti or Bigfoot type creatures in the surrounding woods, Wolves, Black Panthers, U.F.Os, Aliens, Earth Lights.

In fact, there is so much alleged activity at the ring we just have no idea what spooky happenings the night will bring.

The Castle Ring is also thought to be a pagan burial site, experts believe the dead would have been buried just outside of the castle in burial mounds. There are a few large mounds which are like burial mounds found elsewhere in the UK.

The "black-eyed child" has reportedly been spotted by a young couple while camping at Cannock Chase. The couple claimed a giggling ghostly girl encircled their tent before moving "in ways humans simply can’t move" to hide behind trees.

visitors have also witnessed someone in an old soldier's uniform walk into the German War Cemetery, only to discover, after following them inside, they had disappeared.

It was in January 1966 that the bodies of two little girls were found buried in a ditch in the heart of the wooded Staffordshire beauty spot.  A year later, the body of Christine Darby was discovered on the Chase by a soldier – just a mile from the first grim discovery.

Are these the children that haunt the chase?
