Cannock Chase — the 1982 woods account
FOLLOWCannock Chase, England
DIRECTIONS →OVERVIEW
A reported black-eyed-children encounter: youths, usually two or three, with eyes described as entirely black, who ask to be let into a car or house. The legend's earliest dated text is Brian Bethel's post of 27 August 1997 about Abilene, Texas.
HISTORY
The local author Lee Brickley published the account on his blog on 10 June 2013; the Birmingham Mail carried it on 28 September 2014. The Express & Star noted the Chase was already known for big cats, a 'pig-man', werewolves and UFOs.
