Summary
Welcome, to a Pre Season Dark Realms Special.
Step into one of Britain’s most chilling landscapes as this Pre-Season Special of Dark Realms explores the eerie folklore, layered history, and persistent unease surrounding Cannock Chase. From ancient earthworks and war cemeteries to whispered sightings of black-eyed children, the Pig-man, and wolf-like figures in the trees, this episode examines how one seemingly peaceful stretch of woodland became one of the UK’s most infamous paranormal hotspots. Blending ghost lore, haunted history, and the psychology of place, this is a haunting journey into why Cannock Chase continues to inspire fear, fascination, and stories that refuse to die.
Stay safe,
Kevin.

| 0:00.0 | Not all of our minisodes need to be from listeners. In fact, places or lesser-known cases can sometimes take us to dark realms. |
| 0:19.5 | Hello everyone and welcome to your pre-season episode. Now normally we like to do something |
| 0:26.2 | a bit different and what I did wish to happen for this pre-season episode was to do an |
| 0:33.2 | interview with our local parish priest. However he very politely declined and don't worry I'm |
| 0:38.9 | still working away on him, so I'm still hopeful one day he will appear to give us some |
| 0:45.5 | terrifying tales of house cleansing, etc. But as that's not going to happen, what we're going to do |
| 0:52.6 | instead is we're going to take a suggestion from one of our patrons |
| 0:55.8 | and do an extra dark realms about the mysterious and some would say legendary area in a paranormal |
| 1:04.2 | sense of the UK known as Canick Chase. |
| 1:08.6 | However, before we jump into our standard appetizer before next week start to our |
| 1:13.6 | main season, season 24 of the Dark Paranormal on Friday of next week, please make sure you've hit |
| 1:20.6 | that subscribe button because then you will be the first to hear next week's debut of the season. |
| 1:26.8 | Also, don't forget if you wish to submit your |

| 1:34.0 | to our Patreon. Now, our Patreon, you can have a free week trial at the highest tier, which |
| 1:39.5 | means, like our Patreon's have, you can get exclusive content to our whole back catalogue of Darkbytes, |
| 1:45.9 | and indeed a new Darkbytes every week, as well as a brand new episode of what we're calling |
| 1:51.3 | After Dark, which is basically me to camera, unedited, press record, and talk for 30-odd minutes |
| 1:58.3 | about whatever we've discussed that week. They're starting to happen weekly from here on out. |
| 2:03.5 | And of course, our team over at Patreon did not have any downtime in between seasons either |
| 2:09.2 | due to those shows. |
| 2:11.0 | So that links also in the show notes. |
