CHILLING sightings of a spectre known locally as The Black Eyed Child have returned to haunt a beauty spot after the spectre was last seen thirty years ago.

When the child was last seen she sparked worldwide interest — and is today a cult internet sensation.

Latest descriptions of the girl, who has coal-black pits for eye sockets, are identical to those chronicled in the early 1980s, UK’s Birmingham Mail reports.

The spectre, described as having black eyes with ‘no iris, no white, nothing’, has been seen again in the area of Cannock Chase in the Midlands.

Alerted by what sounded like screams, a shocked woman came across the wandering, sightless spectre while walking in Birches Valley.

“We instantly started running towards the noise,” she said. “We couldn’t find the child anywhere and so stopped to catch our breath.

“That’s when I turned round and saw a girl stood behind me, no more than 10 years old, with her hands over her eyes.

“It was as if she was waiting for a birthday cake.

“I asked if she was OK and if she had been the one screaming. She put her arms down by her side and opened her eyes.

“That’s when I saw they were completely black, no iris, no white, nothing.

“I jumped back and grabbed my daughter. When I looked again, the child was gone. It was so strange.”
