Hazel Woods is a large forest situated in Shropshire, England. Nowadays, it is mainly used as hunting grounds and there is now a campsite on the edge of the woods. There are many stories surrounding the history of Hazel Woods. Many believe that a lot of paranormal activity goes on inside the woods. Some of the local villagers actually believe that the ghosts of three murdered children haunt the forest. Many of the villagers also claim to have seen the ghosts of the children. However, there has been no real proof of there being ghosts in the Hazel Woods. The Hazel Woods used to provide villagers with a lot of produce. The forest is largely populated by pheasants and rabbits. These were the main attraction for the hunters. Today, the villagers of Hawkston never set foot in the forest, as they know the stories surrounding the area.
