Blair Witch Page #3

Synopsis: Near Burkittsville, in the Black Hills Forest, on the root of a lightning-struck tree, the couple of Lane and Talia find a DV tape sticking out of the ground. The content of the found tape is mostly footage of static, however, near the end, there is also an intriguing small part where someone is trying to escape from something that is after him, screaming and running in an abandoned house.

Sooner or later, the team will go astray in the heart of a green maze that is riddled with the chilling legend of Elly Kedward, the Blair Witch who relentlessly keeps messing with their sanity, gradually taking them down, one by one.

like found this

little pile of rocks.

Would you stop it.

Symbols.

Symbols, oh they were symbols.

No, no, no, seriously.

So, do you guys really believe

all these old stories?

I mean, someone died everywhere

at some point, right?

It doesn't mean every square foot

of this planet is haunted.

Did you grow up here?

- No.

- See, I did.

Talia did.

We both-we both grew up here.

And older folks in town used to talk a lot

about these woods when I was little.

And after his sister and her crew

went missing and her stuff got found,

suddenly everyone I noticed

wanted to forget it.

This area has a history of things happening

that no one really likes to talk about.

Rustin Parr.

Coffin rock.

The list goes on and on.

- Watch yourself.

- Okay.

- Watch your step.

- It goes down here.

Back in the 1940s,

Rustin Parr brought 8 kids

up to his house

in these woods.

He killed 7 of them.

But Parr claimed that he

heard the voice of an old woman

telling him to kill the children.

He would take them up to his attic

and make one stand in the corner

while he killed the other one.

There's been some debate on that

actually where...

whether it was the attic

or the basement.

So he thought he heard the

Blair Witch telling him to kill people.

Well, he never said who its was.

He just said that it sounded

like this voice of an old woman.

They hanged him out in

these woods near his house.

Wait, he got a house out here?

Yeah, but that's not the one

we're looking for though.

Parr's house was burned down

after he was hanged.

Supposedly they found a bunch of

old tunnels and stuff underneath

that didn't go anywhere.

Some kind of...

underground railroad thing I think.

Oh, my back.

Okay.

So, this is uh...

This is technically where

the Black Hills woods start

back when this was private land.

Uh, who owns it now?

No one.

It's the States' I guess.

So, we're not trespassing

or anything, right?

No.

No one cares.

No one living that is.

If we have to go camping

with the locals,

could you please

don't piss them off.

Babe, I didn't say anything,

I didn't say anything.

You don't have to say anything,

Peter, you know that.

Sick.

Sorry.

NO ENTERING AFTER

NIGHTFALL:

This is where we found

the DV tape.

There was nothing else

on the tape?

Like I said, it was all static except

for that bit when we upload it.

Why does that tree

look like that?

Lightning.

Sometimes when it hits the tree,

the electricity goes into the ground

and burns the tree

from the roots up.

.

A girl drown in this creek.

It was around when

Burkittsville was founded.

Her family was doing the washing

and the mother said she saw

a hand reached out of the water
