Staffordshire Folklore

I'd love to say the views don't matter, but they do. Videos with a low number of views get buried on YouTube unless your search terms are hyper specific. and increasingly even then, YouTube will prioritise feeding you something it thinks will 'entertain' you rather than what is actually the best match.

Once one video goes viral talking about the 'Demon of Chillingham castle'. Or the 'black eyed children' of Cannock Chase it makes a circuit through other videos, local rag newspapers and then eventually cheap horror pulp on Amazon, worse, narcissists will then start making up reports independently for attention giving the story more credibility.

Before you know it the real stories of your home are buried beneath layers of artificial fan fiction, and it doesn't matter how hard you try to show people it's sensationalist drivel because if everyone apart from you is talking about it, surely, you must be the one who is wrong.

“A time is coming when men will go mad, and when they see someone who is not mad, they will attack him, saying, 'You are mad; you are not like us.”
