Is It Really the ‘Black-eyed Child’ of Cannock Chase?

A child killed in the infamous triple-murder in the 1960s in Cannock Chase in Staffordshire, England was said to be lurking in a forest — and a paranormal investigator claims to have captured its ghost in a video.

For centuries now, the locals of Cannock Chase, Staffordshire have been haunted by a ghost they called the ‘black-eyed child’ believed to be one of the children killed in a cold-blooded murder in the 1960s. It was said that Cannock Chase was the site where car mechanic Raymod Leslie Morris murdered seven year-old Christine Darby in 1967. He was also believed to be the suspect in the disappearance of two other young girls in the area. Since then, it is believed that their souls have haunted the woods.

While some believe they have seen it before their very eyes, 23-year-old Tom Buckmaster, from Arnold, Nottingham, claims he has captured on video some spooky images on camera as he was ghost-hunting with his Haunted Finders team — even claiming, they were chased by the eerie figure, which threw a rock at them. He said he spent six hours looking for paranormal activity before the figure appeared at about 7pm on October 10.

“It looks like a child dressed in white – you can see the legs moving as it walks. I didn’t even know I had captured the ghost until I went over the footage and thought, ‘What the hell was that?’ You could hear running on the footpath behind us. We got weird voices on there – there were footsteps, and voices saying, ‘We’re watching, We’re looking’ and then a male voice saying, ‘He’s coming,'” he said.
