The most haunted wood in England! Cannock Chase

- Tonight I am heading North for work and the only place local to camp is Cannock Chase which happens to be one of the most haunted woods in the UK and tonight also happens to be Halloween. This video took so long to get out as I had an issue downloading the trail cam footage hence the delay.

The noise at the beginning was a Muntjac deer. The feeder and big water container etc was for feeding pheasants. Having the pheasants around you when camping like this make great early warning systems, because they make one hell of a noise when disturbed.
Tell me about it. They didn't shut up along with that muntjac 🤣 yeah a few people have said that now, I had never seen a pheasant feeding area before 👍
The black thing in the triangle of gates is definitely a “top hat” type pheasant feeder. The water bowser will be for the pheasants too. They will being “looked after” in the woods as there is no doubt a shoot nearby.
There was a lot of pheasants about 👍
This is my local woodland. Wouldn’t recommend camping here… not only are there lots of disturbing tales of disturbed creatures but also there are some very strange people about, drug users and doggers. It’s just generally unpleasant.
Yeah I've noticed. Such a shame as its such a massive woodland area
I have been told fairys frequent the place too. lol
Loads of wierd stories here
You'll do anything to get out of given the kids a bit of toffee 😁
🤣😂👍
Loved the spooky tales 👻. We have been here many times when we were kids, but wasn't aware of its history. Thanks for sharing👍
Thanks. Glad you liked it 👍
Decent video Michael. Enjoyed the Cannock chase paranormal / history lesson. Agree the stove looks a bit wild
Yeah it's got some wierd history for sure. Wouldn't want that stove in my vestibule 👍
cracking video thank you !
I'd say you may have stumbled onto private land looking at the IBC water tank ,the manola feeder and the crude shelter for young polts ,gives them a little protection from the weather and brown crows ,.
as for the red lights I have witnessed one of them ,looked like a led in the middle of a tree trunk at 1st light once ,watched it for 5 minutes then just went out I was 20 feet from it ,also a strange fog that lifted outnof a bracken patch and drifted into the wind,and the head of a troll looking thing from about 250 yards away ,only thingnit looked like was the things that look after the bank in Harry potter ,no I wasn't drunk I'm a deer stalker and I operate on private ground not too far from silver trees on the chase ,.
thanks again great channel 😊
Cheers for that. Sounds very odd. Annoyingly the red lights were too far away for me to investigate and when I zoomed I on my phone the night camera just loses its sensitivity. All good fun though 😬🤣
That thing you saw was an elemental our woodland is full of ethereal beings
Another great video micheal. Thanks 👍
Cheers buddy 👍
In reference to the thumbnail….Thats a spooky haunted paranormal spirit ghost! 😱
I just found your channel and I love it! Fantastic entertaining content. Made my day thanks! Hello from Norway😊
Thanks buddy. You're a lucky man living in Norway. Went there for the first time last year. Absolutely stunning place. Would love to go there for a camping holiday 👌
Cracking video.
Definitely looks like you had a visitor.
I seen a light in the treelihe when you arrived at camp when you turned your light off,but it could of been a car.
ATB Dan 👍 👍 👍 👍
There were no cars when I got there for sure. Only came past in the morning but I saw a few lights flickering. Didn't even notice one in the background of the trail cam vid until after I uploaded it and saw it on my phone screen. My laptop has got rubbish resolution so can't always see everything. Cheers for watching Dan 👍
Great video, really creepy 😮, enjoyed it 👍
Thanks 👍
Thurrock, Essex watching.
Cannock Chase was my childhood playground. Wildcamped with my father when I was about 8, and did my DoE and scout camps in my teens. Happy times! Mind you, they were a bit weird at the southern end....🤪🥴😱
Probably where I was 🤣
Love Youre scary camp Videos! And youre personality real nice for these videos to bcs you bit more mature then all the kid TH-camrs I think you really skilled in doing videos stay like this its awesome❤❤
Why thanks for that. Much appreciated 🙏👍
Red lights could be orbs.
Etherial entities which manifest when a vehicle slows down. Fooled once by a red light in the trees - later it became obvious that it was Mars, flickering due to the trees in the forest. Sometimes it really is extraterrestrial.
Deborah hartswell forgive me if i have mispelt her surname,has an extremely interesting you tube channel and quite often cannock chase is mentioned. She herself had an encounter when she was a teenager so if anyone is interested i rec her channel
👍👌
@@h.bsfaithfulservant4136👉👌
My first visit was New Year's Day 1976 - orienteering. That night a quarter of the forest was destroyed in a storm. Bad stuff can happen. Before that I was wary of the place because of the murders.
Weirdest thing I have encountered there was at night when skiing after work. Nearly run down by a kayak. Staffordshire University students were sliding down steep slopes in boats. They were sensible enough to stick a sentry on the path in case of passing weirdos.
Can be busy at night with "legitimate" activities : orienteering, running, cycling and in Summer listening to the nightjars.
That's very bad luck ☹️
Object pheasant feeder ralings to stop deer. Good vid
Yeah someone else said that. Never come across it before. Cheers buddy 👍
Spooky AF my friend,,,
💚🤙🏼❤
Was a little 😬👍
I grew up around Cannock Chase in the 1970’s, usually spent time and camped around the Brocton and Castle Ring areas. Never saw anything creepy just deer. But even back then we tended to stay away from the Brindley Heath part, as that’s where the black eyed children and dodgy living people were
Yeah there's some wierd things that go on in that woods.
That camp spot looks awesome
It is but weird structures around. Obviously used by someone 🤷🏼♂️😬
Ive just came off one of your other videos and cannot believe to see my old area on film! Ive camped in Cannock woods a few times over the 20 odd years ive lived there and its safe to say ive seen some weird things as well. I'd stumbled upon several deer carcases and several deer skeletons, its known for its beautiful natural scenery and at one point there was poachers actually going after the deer to sell their meat which is probably areas id walked through which no one else had for awhile. With camping you tend to go off the beaten track and as a younger guy i walked around 6 miles or so in the chase in which id also found birthday cake wrapped up in a napkin literally inside of a tree, that still freaks me out to this day and makes me wonder if someone had taken their life at that spot. That like you mentioned in your other camping video about getting a shiver up your spine which wasnt normal, that to me was my shiver. Cannock chase is beautiful but still gives me the creeps looking back! Cant believe you visited here. Theres several ghost stories and things in the local area, some sound bizarre but im open to believe after seeing a few things in my years of living here.
Cannock is certainly one of the more wierd places we have in the uk and so much that goes on in there. Been reports for centuries as well so it's not like its just from social media but a history of unusual happenings. Cheers for watching 👍
In the mid 1960, I think 1965 - 1967 to be precise, 3 children were kidnapped, SA'd and murdered in them woods and the bodies were found there as well, there's a chance you stumbled across the location they were found/murdered in.
Yeah that's what I said at the beginning of the video 👍
@@NoviceWildCamper Oh sorry completely missed that part, was a little tipsy ahahaha
🤣 well it is Christmas 👍🍻
Very spooky Michael on the camera !
I would not of stayed there mate.
Well done to you 👏👏
Atb Graham
Cheers Graham. Was a bit odd for sure 😬
Used to put troughs under those lean to’s with wheat in for the pheasants which where replaced with the Morden quill top hats the black one you saw . The fence sections are to stop deer from pushing them over . All shooting related stuff
Cheers. A few have said similar. I had no clue 🤣
Ooooh creepy.... Looked like a cold night out there. Enjoyed the video, might give that camp stove a miss - Australia is quite a flammable place and wild flames isn't recommended ;-) Keep it up big fella!
Cheers buddy. Yeah the stove looked really good on paper but was just too manic for my liking. Atb 👍
That's some scary footage!
It was weird 😬
New to your channel enjoyed that very much bud look forward to checking your other stuff out
Cheers buddy 👍
Ideally 3 trail cams pointed at your hammock in a triangle set up , all angles covered . Without know the height of said trail cam. First object Deer, 2nd a person taller than deer . Might even be the person who is checking on the Pheasant stuff. . & yes i wouldn't use that stove , if it tipped over ,there's your fire ! bit dangerous for my liking. Maybe 1 camp you might get good weather that's wishful thinking .lol Know the animals & sounds they make in your area of camping of that season. Good Vid . !
Cherrs buddy. I wasn't even sure if the trail cam would work or how well. When I go back to the woods I had to leave there will be another one with us. And yes if the stove tipped it would be a nightmare, but that's the same with all stoves. This one is dangerous in my mind without tipping over.
Interesting video !!! Good work that
Cheers buddy 👍
Give savernake forest a try aswell on your travels !!
@@gymjampooky looks a very busy place on Google earth.
@@NoviceWildCamper it's a lot denser then Cannock !
Next step Rendlesham forest LOOL 😂
I'll give it a go 👍👽
Looks like a pheasant feeding station!
Yeah a few have said that. Never seen one before. Hence it looked bloody wierd to me 😂
Just discovered your channel and I’m loving it! I’m a Wiccan and love the outdoors and supernatural. I think a competition to win a spooky nights camping with you is in order. I would definitely enter. 😊
😂 thanks. Might be an idea 👍
The lean to and the water container thing is most likely a feeding/shelter spot for pheasants
There were plenty around. That's what made me worried about poachers.
Poachers and also activists that may be lurking about to destroy any rearing cages predator snares etc, it certainly looks a spooky place though, fair play to you going there alone after your last video @@NoviceWildCamper
I don't usually watch the "spooky" vids as they seem a bit daft, but exceptions are made for good channels!
My immediate thought on the shelter, IBC (container) and fenced off feeder was pheasants, which others seem to have confirmed below. The barking and lights in the distance could possibly be gamekeepers and/or poachers? However, being a country lad myself, the gamekeepers are usually in the pub at that time of night!
However, the white thing on the trail cam, no idea and genuinely weird. My first thought was that it was just a falling leaf in the wind or something, but assuming the camera is picking up heat I'm obviously wrong there.
My scientific conclusion after watching several times is that "greys" from Area 51 are on their holidays doing a bit of pheasant spotting and I'm never going to camp in Cannock Chase!
🤣 God knows what it was. Yeah a lot are saying about the pheasants and there were a lot there when I first turned up so sounds reasonable. Cannock is a wierd place though. 👍
Id say the red lights were car tail lights from the road
There wasn't any at that time, plus they were stationary in the woods in the opposite direction of the road. That's why i wondered.
Good video with very strange with strange lights appearing, i would guess that they were actual live 'animals', what height was the camera at. I've camped at a couple of eerie places but never caught lights like that. My first film is a 1 minute film from the Well house at Hollinshead hall, it's given us some great fun.
Cheers buddy. It was as high as I could reach. So around 7ft ish
We always stay there on our way up to scotland and you do well not to find a car park that doesnt have flashing lights, strange comings and goings, strange lights and weird noises. And believe me you really dont want to know what they are 😂😂😂
Yeah I experienced something similar first time I went there. Brand daylight and an old transvestite man was hopping between vans 😬🤮
That was me sorry about that😅
#imwatchingyou #relatable #iminyourwalls #thefogiscoming
😂
Live about 15 mins from these woods, heard some mad stories about the woodlands. Been up there a few times with the family and never saw anything weird but always had a strange feeling there.
It's certainly got a history of wierd goings on.
Oh tell us one of the mad stories!
@@greg6191 just as a young lad was told to stay out of the woodland area due to alleged devil worship, rituals there. Also stuff about like these evil kids. I'm sure my father camped there as a young lad and had a bad experience as well.
I don’t live to far from there. You should also look at Hopwas woods near Tamworth. The site is steeped in strange goings on and Occult activity.
Bit of a trek but maybe if I'm up that way with work I'll check it out 👍
the feeding station and gates etc are for pheasants, they feed them up then hunt them
Ah right. There were a lot of pheasants about 👍
6:06 Nt sure if you noticed it, or it was a reflection of your lighting, there is apparent torch light through the trees, centre ish of screen.
I didn't see that originally, but someone else mentioned it. Very odd. I kept seeing whte and also red lights in the trees, but they were too far away to really tell what they were.
Cannock chase is generally a busy woodland due to all the recreational activities (a big one this time of year is mountain bikers on night rides with lights on their heads) I know because I do it!
😂 I may have seen you. There were a couple of places I got to and thought, this looks like a good spot, when suddenly out of nowhere bikes came flying past me about 6ft away as there was a trail that I couldn't see 🤣
You should get yourself some good quality night optics. You'll be able to reassure yourself by having the ability to see what's hanging around, but without showing your own torchlight.
Add together all the wild campers, weirdos, some sexual meetups, plus the odd stray homeless person, and I bet there are plenty of people in those woods on most nights.
Personally I wouldn't worry about the people showing torch lights. The ones that might concern me are the people you don't see- who keep themselves hidden and use night optics. In fact, I wonder if the red lights you saw might be infrared emitted from night vision binoculars.
Yeah I couldn't work out what those red lights were although I now have a night thermal camera and will be heading back to the previous camp spot where I ended up bailing from stuff that was going on. I've also got two trail cams now one which connects to your phone so you get an alert for motion and you can control the movement using your phone. Looking forward to trying those out 👍
You may be unaware but there are wild boar in Cannock Chase, be very careful! Nice video
Cheers buddy. No I never knew that. 👍
@@NoviceWildCamper I only found out about the W boar as I know they are in certain woodlands including The Forest of Dean
@@jonathangribble7766 I heard they'd be re introduced recently
@@NoviceWildCamper The place you were camping in is owned by the Forestry Commission, many of their sites are home to re introduced boar and other creatures. I only know this as I worked for the F Commission for many years
That trail cam footage is terrifying at 14:55
Yeah weird. God knows what it was 😬
How can you sleep?
I thought the trail cam videos might be deer but the second one looked more like some kind of fabric
flowing by
Not sure what the set up in the woods might be but the big white plastic bin is for water
That just makes the whole thing creepier
Until the next video, take care 🇨🇦❤️
Yeah seemed odd for that stuff to be out there in what is a public forest. Whi knows what set the camera off but it didn't hear anything. Went quiet around midnight when i fell asleep after that fox or whatever it was finally shut up 🤣
Its a deer barking probably a stag,....😂
I thought it was a fox. Sounded deeper than normal though. Went on all bleeding night 😂
Love your vid! Slenderman was created by Eric Knudsen in 2009 btw. So those rumors about him 100 bs.
Cheers buddy.
listen to cannock chase by labbi siffre!
Is it on yt or a podcast?
its a lovely song:) probably on youtube! @@NoviceWildCamper
It still says 17k likes. Bossing it 😂👍🏼
🤷🏼♂️ God knows. Some wierd glitch 😂 ill take it though.
@@NoviceWildCamper 🤣 to right.
My dog would’ve just wanted to share your dinner…r i p Henrietta ❤
It wasn't that good 🙏
Most unnerving I say!
Was a bit but not as bad as the previous camp 😬
I have lived about a 5 minute walk from the very south of Cannock chase all my life, have always heard the stories growing up and the “sightings” in the newspapers. I often go for walks with my family up there and drive through it on or regular basis. I have never seen anything myself other than deer jumping out in front of me on the road 😂
Stay the night. See what happens. Just keep away from the dogging areas 😂
I night fish in Cannock chase regular never seen nothing untoward just wildlife
It's known as one of the weirdest places in the uk for sightings and odd goings on. And not just the dogging 🤣
@@NoviceWildCamper I’ve seen a few weirdos up there 😂 I heard story’s off friends but never seen nothing myself just foxes and deer
Fox bark
That's what I said
Beter stay out of the woods, it seems to keep finding you😂
Geez it’s just a woodland chill out 😂
This why trail cams need to be in pairs filming each other, good video nonetheless.
Yeah I've since got another one and night/heat vision. I'll be going back to the camp where I had to leave for a follow up 👍
Interesting creepy video I’ve no idea how you guys sleep in dark woodland especially without a dog
It's nice generally listening to the sounds of nature but sometimes it can get a bit wierd 😂
Sounds like a fox at the beginning;-) To be honest....its 100% a fox;-)
Yeah it was Deffo a fox. Went on for hours. Very deep voice for w fox though buy deffo a fox.
For some reason there appears to be a number of recent “spooky” camp videos getting posted.
Tbh, I’d guess it’s as much about viewing stats as it is about the paranormal really.
I film what happens and if you check my vids I've had 3 wierd camp videos out of 187 videos 🤷🏼♂️
@@NoviceWildCamper hi,
Not having a go mate, I watch and like all your stuff.
I also wasn’t referring solely to you … there have been a number from a number of people recently
Not trying to give you a hard time… I liked the video itself, but the comment is what occurred while watching it
@markl2815 I know what you mean mate. Seen loads recently. Although my video a couple before this one has hit over 130k views, my most ever and that was a scary one so it's not surprising that it's a popular subject. People like to see people getting freaked out 🤣🤷🏼♂️ I'll continue with my normal vids as always bit obviously if something happens then it just makes for a better thumbnail and viewing I suppose 👍
@@NoviceWildCamper do so as ever, there’s a load of depth to your stuff that people can enjoy and learn from.
I’ve used you as you know as a reference for some gear, and just enjoyed watching someone do what they do well and expend as it goes.
I am not accusing here but I did suspect that the spooky tag worked and your 130 k sort of makes the case for that.
I’ll not name the ones I believe who have actively chased the same numbers in that way by creating 50% or so of recent output that way tagged, who I know are not you, thus making one after another recently but they and people who get the same algorithm feed as me may know.
Fact is YT is a bit of a treadmill when on it and having viewers to grow and feed, so I understand the use … the spooky sh@t just seems a bit artificial to me.
All the best and sorry if I upset you, it really wasn’t a personal thing or actually specific to you alone. Just cumulative really
@markl2815 no I understand and think I know who you mean. Saying that I've been sent night vision and trail cams after that video and had intended to go back with some mates so ther might be a spooky follow up 🤣 sorry.
Nothing strange about a pheasant feeder
Never seen one before. What was the pheasant feeder, the black thing?
@@NoviceWildCamper Yes, the black thing. The big white containers are probably water for when it’s very dry in the summer
My guess would be an insect flying or crawling aross your trail cam.
What about the large white bit at the side. Like someone walking away
Seems very quiet. Any foot step noises before or after that footage?
You can hear some movement during and right at the end that sounds like ground noise if you turn it right up. Foot step or shuffling through the leaves 🤷🏼♂️
Noise at start sounds like a fox (hard to tell with audio)
Yeah I'm sure it was a fox. Bloody thing didn't shut up all night. Was circling round my hammock for ages
"Far wiser men than you or I have believed in both God and the Devil"
Noise was a deer
Not fox?
Wtf is that on the cam footage, seriously? That is strange!!
Not a clue. Certainly wierd though
Nice capture.
Appears to be a light being, and something else I can't make out. Red orbs are often interdimensional beings not in corporeal forms. Generally speaking, the smaller the orb, the smaller the consciousness, so sometimes red can be malevolent, but as you're fairly new to this 4th dimension it could just be slow signs of awareness too, in which case those kinds of orbs will get bigger as your eyes open further with your expanding mind.
Photographs tend to capture more beings than cameras too btw.
Cheers buddy 👍
not posts in the woods!!! hashtag haunted hashtag spooky 😅
Tree guards - a form of plastic pollution.
How did this get 17k likes with two views 😂 my wee heads blown
Only shows 2 likes on my channel 😂 I wish 17k in five minutes
Considering the Brits killed off the dragons and anything larger than a housecat a thousand years ago and are generally well mannered I'd be most concerned about the recent additions to the population wandering around if you know what I mean.
🤣 that was very PC put forward. Although saying thet we also used to keep dangerous wold animals like big cats in the 60s until a law changed banning them and to avoid fines people let them lose hence all the sightings over the years.
