    I love Hat Slendy just out for a stroll with his bros and the iron age tribe finding a random time traveler and being all "oh holy hell lady why are you OUT here? Don't you know we're about to fight a Jabberwock? RUN!" This stuff is bonkers and I am here for it.

      On a few occasions things have gone very, unnaturally quiet. All birdsong stopped, no wind noise in the trees ect. On one occasion, a couple of other walkers, a hundred yards or so away seemed to notice it too and commented as we passed at how eerie it was despite otherwise being a bright warm spring day.
      I will also never let my dog go off lead after hearing about incidents of dogs going missing almost within View of the owner. As if there one minute and gone the next. Sometimes they turn up miles from the point where they went missing and sometimes they just don't. I have also heard about deer being found dead and butchered in the same way as cattle mutilation. Deer are often poached on the chase for food or for profit and deer are culled for management purposes but to find a deer dead and worked upon in such a way is very unusual. This is not something I've witnessed myself but just what I've heard over the years.

      Another channel I watch had a video pulled because it showed a distressing scene without pre warning the viewers..

I seen it, in my house, at Dover Air Force Base. Oddly enough, it was right after my Dad got back home from a TDY at Ramstein Air Force Base. I'm 33 now, and honestly, after seeing that, whatever it was, my life became completely different. I don't know much about what happens to people that see it. But for me, life has never been the same. Didn't ever really think I'd tell anyone this story. But man, this just brought back so many emotions.

    Good ol' Cannock Chase! I'm only familiar with it insofar that my family used to take our German Shepherds there now and then in the 80s and 90s (Stokies!) and through the mid to late 2000s I used to go on the mountain bike trails there.
    Never seen anything there myself though I remember a snowy winter ride abruptly going into darkness and more snow being rather eerie!
    Thanks for doing this! Another place in the Staffordshire area with strange goings on is Park Hall (Hulme, an old open-cast sand and sandstone quarry). There was a multiple witness account of suspected UFO activity back in the late 60s I believe which has witness interview footage on UA-cam and was also covered by the local rag the Sentinel. My family also witnessed it though it was a few years before my time.
    If there's enough material to make an episode I'd love to see it!

    The black dog is misunderstood.
    Always have people calling it a hell hound.
    It is called the Gwyllgi in Wales, Black
    Shuck in East Anglia, Yeth hound or Wishthounds in Devonshire, Skriker in Lancashire,
    Barguest or Gytrash in Yorkshire, Padfoot in West Yorkshire, Hairy Jack in Lincolnshire, the
    Moddey Dhoo on the Isle of Man, the Gurt Dog in Somerset, the Muckle Black Tyke in Scotland,
    and the Grim, amongst other names.
    But, the black dog isn't just the omen of death like many believe, it is also a protector.
    Here's a story
    about a man of his acquaintance who was to journey through a dark wood alone one night to
    visit a friend:
    At the entrance of the wood a large black dog joined him, and pattered along by
    his side. He could not make out where it came from, but it never left him, and when the
    wood grew so dark that he could not see it, he still heard it pattering beside him. When
    he emerged from the wood, the dog had disappeared, and he could not tell where it had
    gone to. Well, Johnnie paid his visit, and set out to return the same way. At the entrance
    of the wood, the dog joined him, and pattered along beside him as before; but it never
    touched him, and he never spoke to it, and again, as he emerged from the wood, it
    ceased to be there.
    Years after, two condemned prisoners in York Gaol told the chaplain that they
    had intended to rob and murder Johnnie that night in the wood, but that he had a large
    dog with him, and when they saw that, they felt that Johnnie and the dog together would
    be too much for them.
    The black dog has been known for a very long time to be a protector of women and young girls. Many stories exist, where a young girl had to walk through a bit of woodland on her journey. Right at the entrance the black dog appeared and stayed with her til the other side. Once more it appeared on the return journey. There is always something evil that would happen linked to these occurrences just like the mans story.
    For this very reason, in Lincolnshire County “the Black Dog is never feared, and indeed is often a protector of lonely
    women. A dog-ghost has even escorted a woman protectively in Yorkshire because she came
    of a Lincolnshire family” demonstrating that the true black dog was perceived to have a certain
    amount of loyalty (and sensitivity to the fairer sex), just like an ideal dog.
    Me personally I believe these black dogs are protectors of the dead and are guides for those who need it most. Especially those who are lost or in danger. It is always a black dog that is big, it doesn't threaten or attack, simply standsby watching out.
    I've had an experience with a black dog when i was a child, it was massive. It dwarfed the bench it stood near. I'll never forget the eyes for as long as I live, bright green glowing eyes. We locked on briefly staring at each other. I felt calm and at ease, but I pulled away thinking I was seeing things. When I looked back it was gone and there were flowers in a bunch left on the bench.

    I grew up wandering Cannock Chase and still run up there regularly. As many others have commented it is uniquely beautiful but also uniquely unsettling, especially at certain times and places. Quite a lot of the folklore is local tittle tattle - but it's a liminal space where the boundaries of our reality are thin and without doubt there is some crossover with who knows what.

    Kudos to you for another awe inspiring and interesting story of the crypto and supernatural surroundings of the UK. I'm curious if Cannock Chase could be the United Kingdom's version of Skinwalker Ranch in the United States; both having a variety of cryptic, supernatural, and possibly alien encounters within the area as a hotspot. I like the scene of the researcher Johnson hiking in the woods taking notes just before he encounters the 3 other hikers and their mysterious tall fourth member. In that scene, you can see a large shadow lurking in the woods a little ways behind Johnson, who is not even aware of it. What that foreshadowing his encounter with the that mysterious fourth figure? If that's the case, it was well drawn as such. It didn't look as a causal shadow in the woods. Very interesting.

    In early October, 2023, I was stranded on the edge of Chasetown as one of the tyres had ripped right through on my car & I didn't have a spare!
    I had called the AA at 18.00 for assistance. The evening turned into night still waiting. Its now 3.00 am & I couldnt rest as I was anticipating their arrival.
    About this time, in the far off distance over some trees, I could see a bright light in the sky.
    It wasn't moving just hanging there. I thought at first it could be someone operating a drone, but it stayed in the same position for at least an hour if not longer.
    No idea to this day what it was.?
    Recovery arrived at 5.00am. 11 hours later!! Also, a family that lived near by offered me a blanket to keep warm & then brought me out hot tea & biscuits throughout the evening.
    There are still some great caring people in the world! It was nice feeling to be going home, but a much warmer feeling from the kindness shown to me.
    A happy memory of the area.👍♥️

    The Spindley Armed creature referred to in the video reminds me of an old book I once read as a youngster.
    It was called "A Casebook of Ghosts" by Elliot O'Donnell.
    And had gone through a few re-issuances over the years.
    My copy I think, was dated as having been a reprint of a 1920's or 1930's copy, made in the late 1950's think.
    But in it.
    O'Donnell recounts some of his own personal experiences of such things as ghost encounters and cryptid creature encounters dating back to the turn of the last century.
    One of those is a recounting of his either witnessing or having personally interviewed a witness to a similar creature that was said to haunt a certain crossroads.
    And about how it attacked and chased after a group of farmers driving a cart load of hay.
    Seemingly trying to grab them with long spindly arms and possessing unnatural speed.
    With it being stated in the story that its touch was known to led to the death of ANYONE, it came in contact with.
    Now I'm not certain of Elliot O'Donnell's provenance, and I sincerely hope I'm spelling his last name correctly.
    Because it has been the better part of 28 years since I found and read his book.
    But I think that in it.
    He professed to be one of the earliest people that he knew of to pursue what we today would call paranormal investigations.
    Right at a time when such things as "mediums" ,"table turners", and "spirit writings" were envogue and before there were such things as television, air travel, and the telegraph was still somewhat new.

As the broadcast says it is an area steeped in a long history and sadly murders as well so I would say it is highly plausible that the past meets the present here.

    Some BRILLIANTLY spooky stories from Cannock Chase!! 🙂👍
    The Castle Ring event was certainly very dramatic (loved the illustration!) But not very historically accurate (if Castle Ring is indeed an Iron Age formation) as Iron Age people did not wear nothing but scruffy skins; nor did they fight with primitive weapons made of antlers. I love the idea of a dragon in the UK though! 😏
    That spindly figure sounds FAR more spooky though: and a lot more authentic than Slenderman! Were he wearing a tricorn rather than a homburg hat, I'd say it was the ghost of an evil highwayman! It seems rather vampiric though: though not as fast as an actual vampire. I'd say that it was another of these harbinger of death kind of beings. Certainly wouldn't want to see it myself!

      @@drakeripple7581Beyond Creepy is an awesome channel. His stories always grab my attention. The one with the incredibly messed up family that moved into a seemingly quiet suburb sticks in my mind. The neighbours said they were really sinister and creepy and one even spotted what looked like scales underneath a wig one of the odd neighbours was wearing whilst out in their yard chasing a cat 😮 another neighbour spotted the dad character in the supermarket buying a shit load of red meat and when he tried to speak to him, the weird man apparently hissed at him like some bizarre reptile creature! So freakin weird! I think that episode is called The Family.
