Answer 1

The Township of Blair was located in North Central Maryland, two hours from Washington, D.C.


Several children accuse Elly Kedward of luring them into her home to draw blood from them. Kedward is found guilty of witchcraft, banished from the village during a particularly harsh winter and presumed dead.


By midwinter all of Kedward's accusers along with half of the town's children vanish. Fearing a curse, the townspeople flee Blair and vow never to utter Elly Kedward's name again.


The Blair Witch Cult is published. This rare book, commonly considered fiction, tells of an entire town cursed by an outcast witch.


Burkittsville is founded on the Blair site.


Eleven witnesses testify to seeing a pale woman's hand reach up and pull ten-year-old Eileen Treacle into Tappy East Creek. Her body is never recovered, and for thirteen days after the drowning the creek is clogged with oily bundles of sticks.


Eight-year-old Robin Weaver is reported missing and search parties are dispatched. Although Weaver returns, one of the search parties does not. Their bodies are found weeks later at Coffin Rock tied together at the arms and legs and completely disemboweled.


Starting with Emily Hollands, a total of seven children are abducted from the area surrounding Burkittsville, Maryland.


An old hermit named Rustin Parr walks into a local market and tells the people there that he is "finally finished." After Police hike for four hours to his secluded house in the woods, they find the bodies of seven missing children in the cellar. Each child has been ritualistically murdered and disemboweled. Parr admits to everything in detail, telling authorities that he did it for "an old woman ghost" who occupied the woods near his house. He is quickly convicted and hanged.


Montgomery College students Heather Donahue, Joshua Leonard, and Michael Williams arrive in Burkittsville to interview locals about the legend of the Blair Witch for a class project. Heather interviews Mary Brown an old and quite insane woman who has lived in the area all her life. Mary claims to have seen the Blair Witch one day near Tappy Creek in the form of a hairy, half-human, half-animal beast.


In the early morning Heather interviews two fishermen who tell the filmmakers that Coffin Rock is less than twenty minutes from town and easily accessible by an old logging trail. The filmmakers hike into Black Hills Forest shortly thereafter and are never seen again.


The first APB is issued. Josh's car is found later in the day parked on Black Rock Road.


The Maryland State Police launch their search of the Black Hills area, an operation that lasts ten days and includes up to one hundred men aided by dogs, helicopters, and even a fly over by a Department of Defense Satellite.


The search is called off after 33,000 man hours fail to find a trace of the filmmakers or any of their gear. Heather's mother, Angie Donahue, begins an exhaustive personal search for her daughter and her two companions.


The case is declared inactive and unsolved.


Students from the University of Maryland's Anthropology Department discover a duffel bag containing film cans, DAT tapes, video-cassettes, a Hi-8 video camera, Heather's journal and a CP-16 film camera buried under the foundation of a 100 year-old cabin. When the evidence is examined, Burkittsville Sheriff Ron Cravens announced that the 11 rolls of black and white film and 10 HI8 video tapes are indeed the property of Heather Donahue and her crew.


After an initial study of the bag's contents, select pieces of film footage are shown to the families. According to Angie Donahue, there are several unusual events but nothing conclusive. The families question the thoroughness of the analysis and demanded another look.


The families are shown a second group of clips that local law enforcement officials consider to be faked. Outraged, Mrs. Donahue goes public with her criticism and Sheriff Cravens restricts all access to the evidence; a restriction that two lawsuits fail to lift.


The Sheriff's department announces that the evidence is inconclusive and the case is once again declared inactive and unsolved. The footage is to be released to the families when the legal limit of its classification runs out, on October 16, 1997.


The found footage of their children's last days is turned over to the families of Heather Donahue, Joshua Leonard, and Michael Williams. Angie Donahue contracts Haxan Films to examine the footage and piece together the events of October 20 - 28, 1994.

Answer 2

The Blair Witch was, for the purposes of the movie and it's sequel, the Blair Witch. The makers of the film made up the mythology about the Blair Witch based on some generic folklore; the witch herself is not named.

Answer 3

"The Blair Witch Project" was supposedly a true story about a true witch, but the movie that chronicles it is made like a documentary, so what you're looking at is "real" footage of these filmmakers who went into the woods to make a movie about the legend and they suddenly started to disappear without a trace, but if you REALLY know horror then you'll know that this is ALL fake, but it's well made though and extremely terrifying, so you should enjoy this for at least ONE good scare.

Answer 4

The Blair Witch Project is based on a fictitious witch that haunted the forrest near Burkittsville, MD. The movie was made with no script, and the producers recruited 3 smoking actors, and deprived them of cigarettes and food for the duration of the movie, to highten the anxiety. Its a psychological horror movie, because in the movie, you never see a monster, or a witch. It is NOT real. Ill say that again..NOT REAL.

Answer 5

She was a legend and she lives in the woods and 3 people go there to do the Blair witch project and she begins to do really weird things and they are filming all of it. It is a very good movie. Try renting it.I know you will like it. I loved it.

Answer 6

its just some stupid myth about how people are missing in some forest for no reason.. but after the movie they say some child molester or something like that was kidnapping these kids.. so no one really knows who it is i guess.
