Cannock Chase is a paranormal hotspot in the West Midlands. Its breathtaking beauty even had a profound impact on the acclaimed author of The Lord of the Rings, JRR Tolkien, and the vast forest is also believed to house several legendary and mythical creatures.

According to local lore, numerous paranormal and ghostly entities wander through the dense woods. Many hikers have claimed to have seen or heard these specters, including the Black Eyed Child, UFO's, big cats and Pig Man.

Nestled in Staffordshire, approximately 19 miles north of Birmingham, lies the ancient forest with a rich history dating back over a millennium. Once a reserved ground for royal hunting, it became an unlikely home to a German prisoner-of-war camp during World War I. The forest served as a training ground during both world wars, with remnants of these facilities still present today.

Spanning across an area of 50 square miles, this forest consists of dense trees and shrubby heathland. Functioning as a productive timber plantation, it also serves as a preferred destination among hikers and cyclists seeking to explore the wilderness.
