Cannock Chase has long been known as one of England’s most haunted forests, but the most disturbing legend of all is the Black-Eyed Child. In this episode, we explore the eerie encounters reported by hikers and locals: the Pleading Child, the Silent Watcher, and the Mimic that calls your name from the darkness. We trace the deep roots of the legend through ancient fae folklore, interdimensional theories, and the tragic real-life murders of Margaret, Diane, and Christine, a trauma some believe still lingers in the land. Is Cannock Chase a thin place? A crossroads of folklore, grief, and the supernatural?Or is there something much older wandering the woods… wearing a child’s face? Enter the forest with us but DON'T follow the crying.
