Whooo - hooo. Spooky!

Had a rash of ghost sightings round here in the West Midlands area lately.  The story of the "Grey Lady" who is said to wander the grounds of Dudley Castle is well enough known, and now a visitor has taken a photograph which seems to have captured the fuzzy image of woman in a doorway - mind you, this was daytime and the castle was open to visitors, so I'm not sure why this should be seen as that significant.  More troubling - if you're that way inclined - is a rash of sightings of "the black-eyed child" on Cannock Chase. Unlike the Grey Lady, there is no particular back-story here, and sightings only really go back thirty years or so.  Also sightings of ghostly black-eyed children are common in other parts of the country, and indeed abroad, Cannock Chase can be rather bleak and desolate, and of course is where the bodies were found of three little girls who were murdered back in the 1960s, but any connection with that is tenuous as the black-eyed child did not first appear (as far as is known) until some 20 years later.  You may want to think twice before venturing out on your own after dark!
