That night, they build a fire and cook food, some of the tensions having dissipated a little. Heather recalls something that Mary Brown had said about a pile of rocks in the Bible, but can't remember exactly what it is. They soon come across a clearing where they find strange piles of rocks neatly stacked on the ground. They press on, braving an arduous river crossing over a log bridge. While Heather remains confident that they are on the right trail and that they will reach the graveyard in an hour and a half, it soon becomes clear that they are in fact lost, and tensions begin to mount, both men resenting that Heather continues to film while they're lost. They set off, still in high spirits, kidding with each other and generally enjoying their weekend. Consulting their map, the team decide to press on further into the woods in search of an old graveyard, but Josh and Mike are a little concerned about the accuracy of Heather's map reading, having gotten them a bit lost the previous day. The next morning, Joshua claims he heard strange noises during the night, one of them he's determined was cackling. They remain in high spirits through the night, despite Mike's flatulence. Satisfied with their footage, the three set up their tent when it starts to rain. ![]() After hiking a few miles into woods that seem far larger than they'd appeared from the outside, they film the creek where the Coffin Rock massacre occurred. After enjoying a drunken night at their motel, Heather, Josh, and Mike park and go into the woods with a map of the logging trail. Two anglers tell Heather that Coffin Rock is less than 20 minutes from town, and the three decide to make the woods of the Blair Witch the centerpiece of their film. Heather interviews Mary Brown (Patricia DeCou), an elderly and quite insane woman who has lived in the area all her life who claims to have seen the Blair Witch one day near Tappy Creek in the form of a hairy, half-human, half-animal beast. The three filmmakers interview the "country bumpkin" types of Burkittsville, who seem equally enjoying being on camera and mystified as to why they'd want to make this film. Parr admits to everything in detail, telling authorities that he did it for "an old woman ghost" who occupied the woods near his house. Each child has been ritualistically murdered and disemboweled. A hermit named Rustin Parr walks into a local market and tells the people there that he is "finally finished." After the police hike for four hours to his secluded house in the woods, they find the bodies of seven missing children in the cellar. In 1941, starting with Emily Hollands, a total of seven children are abducted from the area surrounding Burkittsville. Their bodies are found weeks later at Coffin Rock tied together at the arms and legs and disemboweled. Although Weaver returns, one of the search parties does not. In 1886, eight-year-old Robin Weaver is reported missing and search parties are dispatched. Her body is never recovered, and for thirteen days after the drowning the creek is clogged with oily bundles of sticks. In 1825, 11 witnesses testify to seeing a pale woman's hand reach up and pull ten-year-old Eileen Treacle into Tappy East Creek. Fearing a curse, the townspeople flee Blair and vow never to utter Elly Kedward's name again. By midwinter, all of Kedward's accusers, along with half of the town's children, vanish. Kedward is found guilty of witchcraft, banished from the village during a particularly harsh winter, and presumed dead. According to legend, the Blair Witch is the ghost of Elly Kedward of the late 1700s, whom several children accused of luring them into her home to draw blood from them. The three go missing, but a year later their footage is found in a bag inexplicably buried under an abandoned 100-year-old house. ![]() The director is Heather Donahue ( Heather Donahue), her main cameraman is Joshua Leonard ( Joshua Leonard) and Michael Williams ( Michael C.
