Hi all,

My name is Alyssa, and I'm a third year journalism student at Staffordshire University.

I've always been intrigued by the supernatural and the unexplained, and because of this fascination I've decided to base my third year dissertation on the subject.

One topic that interests me in particular, is the countless sightings of strange creatures on Cannock Chase over the years. From reports of giant serpents, to that of big cats or wolves on the Chase, I'd love to learn more about it.

I'm interested in hearing from people who've witnessed anything strange on the Chase. I'd love to chat about people's experiences and learn more from actual eyewitnesses about what they've seen.

Or if you haven't seen something but know someone who has, I'd love to speak to them.

There's nothing better than compiling a final year dissertation about such a curious subject!

I'm new to these forums also, so hello to everyone.

Look forward to hearing back,

Alyssa x

It may be worth talking with Lionel Fanthorpe.  According to this article it looks like he has taken an interest in the case.

I think the 'ghostly' sounds of a WWII Wellington bomber where heard over Cannock Chase one day in 2000.

Possibly relating to RAF Hixon.  They had Wellingtons flying from there.

Loads of weird things been sighted here including lots of UFO's.

Large hairy hominids have been spotted for decades. A creature believed to be a werewolf regularly haunts the German Cemetary. A bigfoot type creature has also been seen lurking in the trees. Some have blamed the sightings on 'trolls' and also tribes of primitive humanoids who predominantly live in the disused mine tunnels that run under much of the area. In March 2006 a big cat skull was found, and photographed, on the Chase.
