In the summer of 1982, my
auntie was 18 years old. She and her friends would often meet and
“chill” (her word, not mine) on Cannock Chase in the evening
time, probably in much the same way many teenagers still do today.
One of the groups many pastimes involved donning horror masks and
attempting to scare away couples, who often used the area for illicit
liaisons.
During one such evening,
at around 9:45pm, just before dark, my auntie, several times, heard a
little girl frantically shouting for help. Rushing to locate the
sound, she stumbled upon a dirt track and caught sight of the 6-8
year old girl, running in the opposite direction, shouting “help
mommy help”. Immediately my auntie started to run after the child,
but was unable to keep up pace. During the pursuit, she tripped and
received a huge gash in her toe, but still she continued to run. By
now it was getting dark and the little girl had reached an area of
very densely planted, thick and bushy trees. She turned around to
face my auntie, looked her dead in the eyes, and then ran off into
the dark, compact woodland. At this point, probably very wisely, the
decision was made to give up.
Upon returning home from
hospital (she had to get that toe seen to), my auntie was advised
that it would probably be a good idea to call the police and let them
know what she had witnessed. She did so, and was told by the
investigating officer, to stay by the phone. At 7:30am the following
morning, the household was awoken by a whole team of police personnel with tracker dogs, who asked her to show them exactly where she had
seen the little girl. They hadn't received any reports of missing children
and, in the end, didn't find anything, but thankfully it seems the
police take any sighting of this nature very seriously. At the time,
no one really had any reason to believe anything paranormal was going
on, the girl certainly appeared to be of flesh and blood. It was only
later, when discussing the incident with a neighbor, that my auntie
was made aware of Raymond Morris's 1960's child killings in the area.
Sufficed to say, this revelation really spooked her.
Although there have been
many other sightings of this nature in the area, and I certainly
don't completely rule out the theory that they are indeed the
“ghosts” of children murdered by Morris, to me it seems that, as
these children often appear to be completely solid and never really
show any unusual qualities, their origin could lay squarely in the
realms of the occult.
I have already discussed
the Cornovii tribe (people of the horn) and their fascination with
satanic ritual and human sacrifice. That was 2000 years ago, but
still their legacy continues. It is fairly common for people to see
groups of hooded individuals chanting and drawing pentagrams in the
dirt to this very day, although I am not suggesting they would harm a
child, as it states clearly in their doctrine that “the ninth rule
of the Eleven Satanic Rules of the Earth is: Do not harm little
children”. However, we know that Satanists like to conjure up
demons, and which entities are their number one preference? You
guessed it – Child Demons.
Demonic Children are, for
the most part, considered to be the offspring of upper-level evil
entities (although some are demon/human hybrids). They look like
mortal children but are described as pure evil. Generally regarded as
extremely dangerous, their powers are known to become even stronger
with age. Take for example “Cambion”, also known as “The Devils
Brat”, who, in medieval England, often took the form of a devious
child, leading unknowing victims on a wild goose chase, frequently
resulting in their death from a steep fall or something of the like:
sound familiar?
In my mind it seems
likely that even if my auntie had continued to chase that little
girl, she would never have caught her, because it wasn't a child at
all, but an evil force, planning to do away with my own family
member. So it is a good job she gave up when she did. Imagine what
could have happened if she had stayed out any longer. With darkness
falling quickly in that relatively remote location, she could have
easily lost her way. The woods can be extremely disorientating at
night. Then what would have happened?
Alone in England's spookiest
woods with a demon-child: a situation to avoid at all costs, I think
you will agree.
