Joshua Lester-Rigg, from Telford, spent several days visiting the Chase with a friend after dark in a bid to get to the bottom of scary reports from the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty,

Ghosts of Cannock Chase: Terrifying Reports of Paranormal

One time I turned the light on in the kitchen and a single cup was swinging from side to side hanging from a hook under the cupboard. All the others were still. 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 …. He said: “I definitely believe this proves there something out there. As I explain in the video, the figure seems to carry its own light source through the darkness of the woods, which a living person would not. Apart from a café, it is creepily empty. Allegedly, a ‘Blue Lady’ is known for luring in passers-by, only for them to fall of their death.We arrived there just before dark to get a feel for the area, it was our first time visiting. As the sun set the place just seems to have a creepy feel to it after dark, so we started at one area of the Chase, the weather wasn't too bad just a bit of wind that stopped after a little so we started filming and taking photos." And the continuing reports of supernatural activity there has definitely help to fuel my motivation and continuing interest.” We have shown this piece of evidence to a number of people already that don’t believe any of this and each one of them couldn’t explain it and all said it’s a figure walking when asked what they thought it was.

The terrified lass said: “Around two months ago my daughter and I were walking through Birches Valley (an area well known for its spectral sightings) when we heard the screams of a young child. Hundreds of the 10,000 men who fought there died - and it’s now said that the ghosts of the dead soldiers are spotted near the boating lake on the anniversary of the battle on May 13. I couldn't tell if it was a boy or a girl, but they definitely seemed in distress and sounded very close to us, so we instantly started running towards the noise. The Battle of Rowton Moor took place here during the English Civil War in 1645 and it appears to have left its mark on the land.I think the paranormal puts fear in a lot of people because it’s the unknown and people fear the unknown and I think this is one thing that causes scepticism in our field.”
