On this week's episode of Local Legends, Martin is joined around the campfire by folklorist, YouTuber, and all-round champion for Staffordshire, Jack Raven!As anyone familiar with his documentaries and video essays will know, 'Jack Raven' is a character - a talking, animated corvid - inspired by the 20th century Staffordshire folklorist and musician Jon Raven (he of the Black Country Three) who was, alas, only human.In addition to creating and maintaining the Staffordshire Folklore YouTube channel though, and having a sharp beak and pinions as dark as shadows, Jack also manages two other YouTube channels dedicated to Staffordshire's history and folk heritage.Plus, he also collects folklore from his local area, and, while also being very funny, creative, imaginative, and generous, he is truly dedicated and careful in his research too.That this episode is slightly longer than the average Local Legends interview speaks to how enjoyable he is to talk to, and his passion for Staffordshire's history and legends. We could have gone on for hours!It's a fascinating conversation, featuring, in addition to plenty else, Black Country chain makers, Staffordshire potteries, infamous poisoners, Hands of Glory, and the reality behind the many unsettling legends of Cannock Chase...You can learn more about Jack and his work through his Campsite here, and the comparative map tool he mentions in the conversation is available here.But for right now, let us settle in, nice and close, around the Three Ravens campfire and listen in to a chat about crumbling Gothic ruins, the infamous case of Staffordshire ne'er do well William Booth, the life of a folklore YouTuber, and so much more, with a true Local Legend: Jack Raven.Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.With a range of exclusive content on Patreon, too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?Learn more at www.threeravenspodcast.com, join our Patreon at www.patreon.com/threeravenspodcast, and find links to our social media channels here: https://linktr.ee/threeravenspodcast Hosted on Acast.

Simon and Chris dive into a rare cryptid case from Orkney where hundreds of witnesses saw a 'mermaid' swimming in the sea, sitting on a rock, snacking on fish and eels, and tending to her child. Stories of the mermaid went viral in the press. What in the watery world was the creature? Manatee, mutant seal, giant otter or, say it quietly, an actual mermaid? And why, after several years of summer visits to the bay at Deerness, did it vanish from the papers and from history? The duo trade notes about favorite cryptids. Chris goes off on a tangent about giant pink lizards, monsters in the nineteenth-century press and an escaped iguana, and she and Simon nearly come to blows over Cannock Chase and the supernatural/natural nature of unknown creatures. The source book for the episode is available here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Deerness-Mermaid-Attested-Nineteenth-Century-Cryptid/dp/1915574404/ref
In Burying the Enemy: The Story of Those who Cared for the Dead in Two World Wars (Yale University Press, 2025), Tim Grady recounts here a detailed history of the fate of combatants who died on enemy soil in England and Germany in World Wars I and II. The books draws on a rich archive of personal family experiences, and describes the often touching acts of kindness and reconciliation with families caring for graves of enemy personnel in churchyards and local cemeteries close to where those deaths took place. Both sides were at pains to photograph tended graves, demonstrating reciprocal respect. The Commonwealth War Graves Commission and the German equivalent - the VDK - obscured decision-making around repatriation, which led to some family distress. Grady recounts in detail the creation of the German military cemetery at Cannock Chase, which comprised a year-long programme of exhumations across the UK. This book is a highly readable and touching account of the tensions that arose between families and the state in response to military death in the World Wars, offering a unique insight into personal German/English relations during both and after both conflicts. Tim Grady is professor of modern history at the University of Chester. Dr Julie Rugg is a Reader in Social Policy at the University of York, UK. She has an abiding interest in the ways in which societies come to an accommodation with mortality.

En la tranquila Inglaterra de los años 60, un monstruo acechaba en las sombras, arrebatando la inocencia y las vidas de tres niñas pequeñas. Sus cuerpos, abandonados en un desolado paraje, revelaron una maldad inimaginable que dejó a toda una comunidad paralizada por el miedo. Pero detrás de este horror se escondía un hombre aparentemente respetable, cuyo rostro frío y cruel encarnaba lo peor del ser humano. Un caso que no solo estremeció al país, sino que marcó para siempre a quienes vivieron su pesadilla. Una historia de oscuridad, desesperación y justicia. ¿Estáis preparados para conocer la verdad?

Cannock Chase, Staffordshire's infamous former Royal Forest, is steeped in chilling legends and unexplainable phenomena. From supernatural creatures like werewolves, Black Dogs, British Big Cats, and even Bigfoot, to UFO sightings and encounters with demonic entities—this place has it all. In the 1940s, the eerie Pig Man made his debut, and many have claimed to see the terrifying Black-Eyed Girl. The forest is haunted by the cries of children, believed to be the victims of the infamous murderer Raymond Leslie Morris, while the enigmatic Lady of the Chase—tall, slim, and hypnotic—lingers in the shadows, captivating visitors with her dark, haunting gaze. In this spine-chilling episode of the True Hauntings Podcast, Anne & Renata lace up their boots and venture deep into the Chase. Is this truly a portal to another dimension? A magnet for the supernatural? Or are these tales simply the product of local lore?

For the last Xmas Pig of 2024, The Quantum Mechanics join James for a final piggy tryptic of tales. With stories from the UK's "Cannock Chase" to America's "Road Bridge" it seems The Pigman gets around a bit. Whether he be a butcher gone wrong or the victim of a science experiment also gone wrong, The Pigman is always a source of terror... This episode was edited by Joseph Burrows - Audio Editor.

We'll look at the origins of the werewolf, look at whether they are actually real, and if so, how one goes about becoming one, and some of the cures believed to release the man from the beast. Of course, it's not always the Wolf-Man… sometimes it's the Wolf-Woman. We'll look at the most fearsome lady werewolves throughout history! I'll tell you about the trials and punishments of those convicted of being werewolves – many probably wish they'd have confessed to being witches instead! Plus, what if I was to tell you that werewolves truly ARE real – and that a small village has been terrorized by them for decades – right up to modern day? There is convincing evidence to back up my claim! All of this and more werewolfism can be found in this episode!

Join me as we tour the paranormal hotspots of Exeter, Swindon, and beyond!Foreign Films and Spooky Flicks Back in the studio, Linda and I chat about foreign films that are “not shit,” like the eerie classic Suspiria from 1977. We dive into the world of French films, literature, and why some films just seem to drag on—because even the paranormal can get lost in translation!Spooky Problem Solving We turn to our trusty Take a Break Fate and Fortune for some spine-chilling problem-solving. The spirits are restless, and so are our listeners—let's see what mysteries we can unravel today!Theatre Royal Drury Lane and Black Eyed Girl The ever-spooky Sue Lardner sends in another MP3, this time about the haunted Theatre Royal Drury Lane—prepare for some ghostly gossip! Then, we dive into an article sent by Shaun Kynaston from the Birmingham Mail about the infamous Black Eyed Girl of Cannock Chase. I even chat with Lee Brickley, who's practically “bricking” it over these paranormal sightings!Maisie Adam Part Two It's time for Part Two of my chat with the brilliant comedian Maisie Adam. If you thought the first part was spooky, just wait until you hear what's in store this time!Spooky Holidays and a Spa Day Finale We finish off with another chilling article from Take a Break Fate and Fortune about going on a spooky holiday—because who doesn't want to mix sun, sea, and spirits? Finally, a bit of talk about the spa before we wrap things up.Clint.xCredits: • Kathrine Boyle• Sue Lardner• Shaun Kynaston • Lee Brickley• Maisie Adam-----------------------• Podcast produced by Laurie Peters from Peters-Fox • Share your own spooky stories at clinton@clintonbaptiste.com • Find more Clinton Baptiste merchandise at Ko-fi • Follow Glowe on Instagram at @glowexx • TOUR DATES: www.clintonbaptiste.com Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Story One – Ghosts of Flight 401 During previous episodes, we have explored several tales involving vehicles which have become closely associated with the paranormal. In this story we will finally be adding an aircraft to the list of allegedly haunted transports as we retell the story of the Ghosts of Flight 401. Story Two – The Curse of Clapham Woods Previously, we have explored numerous instances of supernatural activity witnessed at Cannock Chase in Staffordshire, many of which are directly connected to Castle Ring, the remnants of an Iron Age fort at the heart of that region. This week, we journey to another such site, located 200 miles away in southeast England, known for similar disturbing occurrences. Join us as we delve into the Curse of Clapham Wood.

Our last 'From The Vault' episode before Season 6 launches on Friday 6th September. ‘Making sure their parents were asleep, the two 17-year-olds quietly left their homes with their tent, sleeping bags and other bits and pieces, and drove to a secluded spot. At around midnight, they'd found the perfect place to camp, so began pitching their tent and getting comfortable. It wasn't long after this that they both thought they heard something moving around in close proximity to their tent … They kept still and quiet, and continued to listen, but this was when the sounds of movement changed into the sounds of very definite footsteps ... there was someone in the forest with them.' Content warning: Contains distressing details of child abduction cases from the 1960s linked to the area.
Andy from Alien8UK joins Ash to talk about his lifetime of both UFO and paranormal experiences and how this led him to embark on his own journey of investigation and discovery and the creation of multiple podcasts and chat shows! Title music provided by Steve Yarwood and Ambienfinity

The Great Leader bravely ploughed on regardless of his own malady and he was majestic.

Where wolves? James attempts to answer that question with a midnight excursion to Cannock Chase. This Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is home to a range of distinctly unnatural creatures. We're talking lycanthropes, black eyed children, numerous UFOs and at least one pigman. In fact, there are many reports of uncanny incidents in Cannock Chase, James went all the way to Staffordshire to investigate. Alas, our intrepid loreboy encountered a much more human phenomenon.

Finally we made it! We jumped in the car with some friends, and headed to Britain's version of Skinwalker Ranch, Cannock Chase. We went in search of Werewolves, Black Eyed Kids, Ghosts, UFOs, and the cryptid known as The Pig Man. But what terrified us more was our encounters with more earthly creatures.

IN THIS EPISODE: The ghost of a man in gray haunts a London theater. *** The boogeyman – where did he come from, and is he based on a real person? *** A disaster that took place at the Pemberton Mill on January 10, 1860 – a disaster that left a community, and a nation stunned! *** A night of children telling scary stories to each other turns into the real thing. *** A young girl bumps into her father in the hallway… which is impossible, as her father isn't home. *** James Bond, 007 himself tells his own personal story of the paranormal.

Perhaps it's not your imagination. *** A father in South Yorkshire claims his family is being haunted by the ghost of an old lady. *** Two men, a forest, and a ouija board – will that be enough to find a rumored black eyed child that has been seen there? *** A man hears pounding on the walls of his apartment – from the outside of the building. *** What appears to be a poltergeist continues to torment office colleagues… or is it just being playful? *** Plus, I'll share an original creepypasta from a fan of Weird Darkness… it's a story called “Amoeba”.SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…“The Drury Lane Theater” (from the book “100 True Ghost Stories: Terrifying Hauntings From The UK And Around The World” by Alan Toner): http://amzn.to/2hwQTWG“The Real Boogeyman” (from the book, “Could It Be True: Vol 1, Urban Legends” by Cindy Parmiter”): http://amzn.to/2z8VgTh“The Horror At Pemberton Mill” (from the book, “A Pale Horse Was Death” by Troy Taylor and Rene Kruse): http://amzn.to/2AWTceo“The Haunting Of My Grandmother's Cottage”: https://tinyurl.com/uefe6cj“My Doppelganger”: https://tinyurl.com/syqf2zk}“Shaken Not Scared: Roger Moore's Experience With The Paranormal”: https://tinyurl.com/waa4doh“The Red-Eyed Being That Held Me Down”: https://tinyurl.com/uqvf7an“Tormented By a Spirit In Hell”: https://tinyurl.com/yx2p3mfa“The Baldwinsville Homicide”: https://tinyurl.com/u7b7qch“City of the Dead”: https://tinyurl.com/vmzpgs2“The Faceless Specter That Follows Me”: https://tinyurl.com/ufa9a3y“Father Claims His Family Is Being Haunted By The Ghost Of An Old Lady”: https://tinyurl.com/r9ug4ow“Black Eyed Child of Cannock Chase”: https://tinyurl.com/s6r7wgq“The Pounding Walls of an Apartment Building”: https://tinyurl.com/w5cxyee“The Playful Office Poltergeist”: https://tinyurl.com/wpm738dThe fictional story (creepypasta) “Amoeba” was submitted by Sabby Ray: https://www.facebook.com/ray.saibalWeird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library.= = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

The strange activity at Cannock chase includes all manner of strange creatures, from Werewolves and Dogmen and sightings of the elusive British bigfoot to ghostly visitations, succubus attacks and plenty of UFO, shadow beings and black eyed children to name but a few. The chase is infamous for those very reasons in the UK and many people report demonic or entity possession when staying over or visiting the chase. I noticed several years ago there were high numbers of missing people, pets and farm animals in higher numbers than other towns in Staffordshire. I also wondered if the chase has other hidden secrets. . Who knows what happens in the dark of the night. But have you ever wondered if there is a connection to all of this strangeness and the gruesome serial killer that used the chase as his hunting ground in the 1960's? The area gained notoriety in the late 1960s when the Cannock Chase murders made national headlines; when the remains of three young girls were found on the Chase after they went missing from areas along the A34 road that runs into central Birmingham. Raymond Leslie Morris, a motor engineer from Walsall, was found guilty at Stafford Assizes of one of the murders in 1968 and was sentenced to life imprisonment. He died in prison in March 2014, aged 84, after serving 45 years.Cannock Chase PDF = Cannock Chase PDF - https://docs.google.com/document/d/120QEY8B6iL0mcXDwTlpPccF7LBIYJnHxrmmIwwMa6Eo/edit?usp=sharinghttps://linktr.ee/bbrinvestigations Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/deborah-hatswell-bbr-investigations-cryptid-creatures-mystery-and-unexplained-events--2840337/support.

‘Making sure their parents were asleep, the two 17-year-olds quietly left their homes with their tent, sleeping bags and other bits and pieces, and drove to a secluded spot. At around midnight, they'd found the perfect place to camp, so began pitching their tent and getting comfortable. It wasn't long after this that they both thought they heard something moving around in close proximity to their tent … They kept still and quiet, and continued to listen, but this was when the sounds of movement changed into the sounds of very definite footsteps ... there was someone in the forest with them.' This is episode 43 of the Haunted UK Podcast, and in this episode, we'll be paying a visit to one of the strangest locations in England ... Cannock Chase.

PLEASE SHARE THIS LINK in your social media so others who loves strange and macabre stories can listen too:https://weirddarkness.com/werewolf-lore-legend-lycanthropy/IN THIS EPISODE: The idea of the werewolf has been with us for a long time – the first mention of a werewolf that we know of is over two thousand years ago. We'll look at the origins of the werewolf, look at whether they are actually real, and if so, how one goes about becoming one, and some of the cures believed to release the man from the beast. Of course, it's not always the Wolf-Man… sometimes it's the Wolf-Woman. We'll look at the most fearsome lady werewolves throughout history! I'll tell you about the trials and punishments of those convicted of being werewolves – many probably wish they'd have confessed to being witches instead! Plus, what if I was to tell you that werewolves truly ARE real – and that a small village has been terrorized by them for decades – right up to modern day? There is convincing evidence to back up my claim! All of this and more werewolfism can be found in this episode! *** (Originally aired September 30, 2020)SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…BOOK: “Giants, Monsters and Dragons” by Carol Rose: https://amzn.to/36k0VW0BOOK: “The Werewolf Delusion” by Ian Woodward: https://amzn.to/2Sa74LVBOOK: “The Book of Werewolves” by Reverend Sabine Baring-Gould: https://amzn.to/3jgTLp5EPISODE: “The Werewolf Panic of the 1970's”: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/48s5bbkk EPISODE: “Werewolves of Central England”: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2vpt52rn EPISODE: “Werewolf In The Bronx”: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/y3auryjk EPISODE: “A Summer of Werewolves”: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p875ynn EPISODE: “Planet Werewolf”: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/yb6ck67a EPISODE: “The Beast Of The Land Between The Lakes”: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/5n8jcczz EPISODE: “The Beast of Barmston Drain”: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/mrs9j8xu EPISODE: “The Ohio Dogman”: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p8rc5su EPISODE: “The Skinwalker Ranch, Home To Real Werewolves”: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p975j56 EPISODE: “Hairy Humanoids of Texas”: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/yckkfhun EPISODE: “Skinwalkers and Shapeshifters”: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/mr2w57xr VIDEO: “A Brief History of Horror – Werewolves”: https://weirddarkness.com/archives/1901VIDEO: “Legends of the Werewolves”: https://weirddarkness.com/archives/1992“The Origins and Lore of Werewolves” from History Daily: https://tinyurl.com/y4l7ytmk, Tanika Koosmen for The Conversation: https://tinyurl.com/y5jy9uog, Benjamin Radford for Live Science: https://tinyurl.com/yclcqmqp, and Ella Talkin for Ranker: https://tinyurl.com/yy55wq9q“The Werewolf Trials” by Inigo Gonzalez for Ranker: https://tinyurl.com/y2qmp4n2“The Lycans of Cannock Chase” by Hugh Landman for Ranker: https://tinyurl.com/s6h83am“Whose Afraid of Virginia Werewolf?” by April A Taylor for Ranker: https://tinyurl.com/y3qz82on“How Werewolves Work” by Tracy V.V.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for May 2, 2023 is: plausible PLAW-zuh-bul adjective Plausible means "seemingly fair, reasonable, or valuable but often not so" or "appearing worthy of belief." // One problem with the horror movie is that the plot is barely plausible—there was no good reason for the kids to enter the abandoned mansion to begin with. See the entry > Examples: "The West Midlands is a region that is no stranger to myths. From the bustling motorway of the M5 to the quiet, secluded woods of Cannock Chase—you will hear tales of abnormal happenings. ... Some explanations are offered as to why such spooky events may be taking place. But others appear to be a mystery with no plausible explanation." — Jamie Brassington, Birmingham Live (UK), 16 Apr. 2022 Did you know? Put your hands together for plausible, a word with a sonorous history. Today the word usually means "reasonable" or "believable," but its origins lie in the sensory realm, rather than that of the mind. In fact, plausible comes to us from the Latin adjective plausibilis, meaning "worthy of applause," which in turn derives from the verb plaudere, meaning "to applaud or clap." Other plaudere words include applaud, plaudit (the earliest meaning of which was "a round of applause"), and explode (from the Latin explodere, meaning "to drive off the stage by clapping"). Will the evolution of plaudere continue? Quite plausibly, and to that we say "Bravo."
