To Explore The Blair Witch
19
00:01:46,679 --> 00:01:50,030
Well, Heather Was Probably
20
00:01:50,031 --> 00:01:52,049
One Of The Two Or Three
Best Students
21
00:01:52,050 --> 00:01:55,449
That I've Had The
Pleasure Of Teaching
22
00:01:55,450 --> 00:02:00,409
She Was Committed
She Was Energetic
She Was Very Creative
23
00:02:00,410 --> 00:02:02,828
She Was Someone Who
I Think
24
00:02:02,829 --> 00:02:06,153
Remind Me Of Myself Really
A Lot At Her Age
25
00:02:06,154 --> 00:02:10,086
She Was Looking To Develop
And Find Her Voice
26
00:02:10,087 --> 00:02:12,614
Plus, She Was Interested In
Documentaries
27
00:02:12,615 --> 00:02:15,178
Which My Own Background
Is In Documentaries
28
00:02:15,179 --> 00:02:17,737
I Met Heather In High School
29
00:02:17,738 --> 00:02:21,633
I Met Her When I Moved
30
00:02:21,634 --> 00:02:23,854
To Montgomery County
Maryland
31
00:02:23,855 --> 00:02:27,740
She Was One Of The First
People Thet I Actully Met
32
00:02:27,741 --> 00:02:29,826
Just Met Her In Passing
In The Hallway
33
00:02:29,827 --> 00:02:33,010
And Then We Were In
A Play Together
34
00:02:33,011 --> 00:02:37,303
And, Uh, That's How
We Really Became Acquainted
35
00:02:37,304 --> 00:02:40,783
She Was This Tiny
Little Thing That
36
00:02:42,050 --> 00:02:44,342
First Go In And, Of Course,
Mom Was There
37
00:02:44,343 --> 00:02:47,280
And The Baby's Been Brought Up
For The First Time
38
00:02:47,281 --> 00:02:49,989
I Stick My Arms Out To Go
Pick Her Up, And
39
00:02:49,990 --> 00:02:51,582
" Careful, Carefull, You'll Break Her "
40
00:02:51,583 --> 00:02:54,425
I Said " I Didn't Break The Others
How Am I Going To Break This One ? "
41
00:02:54,426 --> 00:02:58,335
So, Uh, I Picked Her Up
And Held Her And
42
00:02:58,336 --> 00:03:02,628
I Guess For An Hour Or So
Before I Gave Her Back To Mama
43
00:03:02,629 --> 00:03:05,237
She had submitted a
proposal to me
44
00:03:05,238 --> 00:03:09,197
To do a short documentary on
45
00:03:09,198 --> 00:03:11,550
The legend of blair witch
46
00:03:11,551 --> 00:03:15,047
It was something i had never heard
of before to tell you truth
47
00:03:15,048 --> 00:03:17,122
- We're doing a documentary
- Yeah
48
00:03:17,123 --> 00:03:19,308
- About the blair witch
- Oh
49
00:03:19,309 --> 00:03:23,779
- Oh, have you heard of
the blair witch ?
- That's and old, old, old story
50
00:03:23,780 --> 00:03:27,962
- As I Remember
- He wa a Legend
51
00:03:27,963 --> 00:03:32,104
That had developed in this area
over the course of couple of centuries
52
00:03:32,105 --> 00:03:37,628
Whenever a particular bad
sequence of events happened
in this community
53
00:03:37,629 --> 00:03:43,262
There seemed to be a tendency
to blame it on blair witch
54
00:03:43,263 --> 00:03:46,642
Who apparently was a woman
who had been cast out
55
00:03:46,643 --> 00:03:50,161
During the colonial era as
a witch
56
00:03:51,275 --> 00:03:53,774
It seem like a great opportunity
to interview people
57
00:03:53,775 --> 00:03:58,810
Who had been passing down
this legend for a couple of centuries
58
00:03:58,811 --> 00:04:00,626
Could you just run it for a
couple of feet for me
59
00:04:00,627 --> 00:04:03,979
- So that we can check that it's ok
- Sure
60
00:04:03,980 --> 00:04:06,850
Joshua Was More Glitz
61
00:04:06,851 --> 00:04:10,996
He thought it would be cool
to be in the film business
62
00:04:10,997 --> 00:04:13,919
He Was Not Willing
i don't think
63
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,937
To do the kind of work that was
really necessary
64
00:04:16,938 --> 00:04:20,098
To develop a voice
65
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:26,860
I think heather and josh were really
sort of polar opposites in a lot of ways,
66
00:04:26,861 --> 00:04:28,792
But clearly they liked each other
67
00:04:28,793 --> 00:04:31,230
I didn't know heather very well
i think
68
00:04:31,231 --> 00:04:34,703
I guess i really only met
her once
69
00:04:34,704 --> 00:04:37,528
And That's when she was
talking about
70
00:04:37,529 --> 00:04:41,722
The blair witch documentart
and going into the woods
71
00:04:41,723 --> 00:04:43,767
And wanting josh to be
a part of that
72
00:04:43,768 --> 00:04:46,488
They collaborated on several
projects together
73
00:04:46,489 --> 00:04:49,599
I mentioned to her a couple of
times that i was concerned
74
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:54,899
That his some of the negative
aspects of-of his
75
00:04:55,598 --> 00:04:59,146
Really lack of-of commitment
and energy would
76
00:04:59,147 --> 00:05:01,196
Perhaps be negative
for her, but
77
00:05:01,197 --> 00:05:04,644
It turns out that they did
like working together
78
00:05:04,645 --> 00:05:08,446
It didn't really go over too well
Cuz i remember we fought about it
79
00:05:08,447 --> 00:05:10,391
Before he left
80
00:05:10,999 --> 00:05:14,953
And i mean, i feel really badly
about that now
81
00:05:14,954 --> 00:05:17,666
Cuz, i mean we argued
horribly
82
00:05:17,667 --> 00:05:21,215
But i just had this
i just had this feeling
83
00:05:21,216 --> 00:05:24,337
I didn't want him to go off
with he. it was just something about
84
00:05:24,338 --> 00:05:27,372
Her that rubbed me
the wrong way
85
00:05:27,373 --> 00:05:29,864
It was just instinct, i guess
86
00:05:29,865 --> 00:05:32,504
I didn't want him to go off
for the whole weekend
87
00:05:32,505 --> 00:05:35,768
So what's up ? are you happy
with the way the documentary is going ?
88
00:05:35,769 --> 00:05:38,013
- Yes I Am
- Yeah
- Yeah ?
89
00:05:38,014 --> 00:05:41,228
And i'm very pleasantly surprised
by our little mikey
90
00:05:41,229 --> 00:05:43,882
- Our Little Mikey ?
- Little Mikey
91
00:05:44,304 --> 00:05:47,664
When he was a little kid he was
a pain in the, uh, you know
92
00:05:47,665 --> 00:05:51,727
He was a pain. he was, uh
he was really, uh,
93
00:05:51,728 --> 00:05:53,881
Always pushing my parents'
Buttons
94
00:05:53,882 --> 00:05:58,079
Um, sort of the devil with the
halo on his head
95
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,172
We had the golden rule of on
cursing in the house
96
00:06:01,173 --> 00:06:04,723
And of course, he'd have to walk
by and slip out the little ones
97
00:06:04,724 --> 00:06:10,721
Nothing bad, but he was always
sort of, you know, on the side
98
00:06:10,722 --> 00:06:13,993
And, you know, they'd catch it
and then you'd catch it
99
00:06:13,994 --> 00:06:16,463
So he was always that kind
of character
100
00:06:16,464 --> 00:06:19,666
I met him a couple of times
actually
101
00:06:19,667 --> 00:06:25,008
Josh used to go with mike to go
drinking and stuff and
102
00:06:25,009 --> 00:06:28,778
Um, but i wouldn't say i knew
him really well
103
00:06:28,779 --> 00:06:31,975
The last night i saw him
he was excited
104
00:06:31,976 --> 00:06:37,932
He was really happy with himself
he came into the house
105
00:06:37,933 --> 00:06:41,657
He was all packed and ready
to go for the next day
106
00:06:41,658 --> 00:06:44,669
And we sat down. we had
a cup of coffee together
107
00:06:44,670 --> 00:06:46,856
And we talked about the whole
the whole thing
108
00:06:46,857 --> 00:06:52,409
He really didn't know too much
about it. that's what they were going to
find out
109
00:06:52,410 --> 00:06:55,291
But it was something he really
felt that he loved doing
110
00:06:55,292 --> 00:06:58,800
You know, doing the sound
equipment stuff, and
111
00:06:58,801 --> 00:07:02,019
You know, i just told him to go
out and be happy
112
00:07:02,020 --> 00:07:03,496
Make yourself somthing
113
00:07:03,497 --> 00:07:06,197
-I could help you, but i'd rather stay
here and record
- OK
114
00:07:06,198 --> 00:07:09,324
- Packs are on
- Let's rock
- we're ready to go
115
00:07:09,325 --> 00:07:13,242
- We gotta go up to the shack ? the shanty ?
- Yeah
116
00:07:13,243 --> 00:07:14,243
WOW
117
00:07:17,415 --> 00:07:21,924
- Yeah, That can help the...
- Oh, my god
118
00:07:27,762 --> 00:07:30,253
The Search of the three missing
montgomery college students
119
00:07:30,254 --> 00:07:32,298
Continues in frederick county
tonight
120
00:07:32,299 --> 00:07:35,853
As dozens of volunteers and state
officials join local forces
121
00:07:35,854 --> 00:07:39,108
In what has now become a full-scale
search of the black hills area
122
00:07:39,109 --> 00:07:43,139
Local Officials, combined with
over 100 search volunteers,
123
00:07:43,140 --> 00:07:47,615
Have failed to come up with any
signs of the three missing filmmakers
124
00:07:47,616 --> 00:07:50,370
Montgomery college film
students HEATHER DONAHUE
125
00:07:50,371 --> 00:07:53,023
MICHAEL WILLIAMS and
JOSHUA LEONARD
126
00:07:53,024 --> 00:07:54,892
Were reportedly shooting a
school project
127
00:07:54,893 --> 00:07:57,622
About a local myth called
the BLAIR WITCH
128
00:07:57,623 --> 00:08:01,842
At this time their whereabouts
are still unknow
129
00:08:12,909 --> 00:08:14,903
Josh feels it's necessary to
look at the map now
130
00:08:14,904 --> 00:08:17,421
Even though i know where we're
going, and we're going straight up there
131
00:08:17,422 --> 00:08:19,649
If you'd know where we're going
we wouldn't be hiking like
132
00:08:19,650 --> 00:08:23,655
- We're in the middle of the woods
- Some of it is off-trail hiking
133
00:08:23,656 --> 00:08:26,365
I have harbored some guilt
134
00:08:26,366 --> 00:08:31,795
Cuz, as i looked back over
the proposal later
135
00:08:31,796 --> 00:08:35,074
I realized that i had neglected
to notice that
136
00:08:35,075 --> 00:08:38,448
Heather had suggested going
into the woods
137
00:08:38,449 --> 00:08:41,579
For a couple of days, working
on the film
138
00:08:41,580 --> 00:08:43,725
We started to wonder
the next day
139
00:08:44,780 --> 00:08:47,351
And my parents started
panicking
140
00:08:47,352 --> 00:08:50,376
And for weeks after that it
was just numb
141
00:08:50,377 --> 00:08:55,771
I don't really remember feeling
too much other that numbness
142
00:08:55,772 --> 00:08:57,871
When i saw her mother
143
00:08:57,872 --> 00:08:58,872
That's
144
00:09:00,997 --> 00:09:03,920
That was probably the first
time i really felt it
145
00:09:03,921 --> 00:09:06,904
And i started to cry
146
00:09:10,101 --> 00:09:12,841
The only piece of evidence found
by police
147
00:09:12,842 --> 00:09:15,257
Was joshua leonard's car
148
00:09:15,258 --> 00:09:18,172
Parked on black rock road
149
00:09:18,836 --> 00:09:23,391
We checked the car over completley
never found any clues with the vehicle
150
00:09:23,392 --> 00:09:28,426
We checked with witnesses that
may have seen the film students
151
00:09:28,427 --> 00:09:31,094
And never could we could
never locate 'em
152
00:09:31,095 --> 00:09:35,608
The black hills search of three missing
filmmakers has been called off
153
00:09:35,609 --> 00:09:39,131
Ten days and thousands of
man-hours have been unable to
produce
154
00:09:39,132 --> 00:09:42,571
Any clues to the cause of the
mysterious disappearances
155
00:09:42,572 --> 00:09:45,516
Family and friends of the montgomery
college graduates
156
00:09:45,517 --> 00:09:50,737
Are holding on to the hope that
someone or something will provide some answers
157
00:09:50,738 --> 00:09:54,029
Well, when the story turned into
a really big story
158
00:09:54,030 --> 00:09:57,034
I went to the sheriff's office and i
tried to talk with him
159
00:09:57,035 --> 00:09:58,345
And he's really been no help
160
00:09:58,346 --> 00:09:59,346
I mean, it's. uh
161
00:10:01,539 --> 00:10:04,005
I joined the search party, and
162
00:10:04,356 --> 00:10:06,962
I called when we didn't find
anything on the search party
163
00:10:06,963 --> 00:10:08,842
And i told him i though we should
still keep looking
164
00:10:08,843 --> 00:10:11,688
Cuz i know there are clues
out there
165
00:10:11,689 --> 00:10:15,687
I still go out and i still look and
i know there's somthing out there
166
00:10:16,741 --> 00:10:19,520
He's talked to me a few times, but
i... he just doesn't
167
00:10:19,521 --> 00:10:21,839
He doesn't want to hear anything
i have to say
168
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:26,203
- December 12, 1994
- Dear sheriff cravens
169
00:10:26,204 --> 00:10:28,716
I have tried repeatedly to
reach you on the phone
170
00:10:28,717 --> 00:10:31,403
But you have not returned
any of my calls
171
00:10:31,404 --> 00:10:33,829
You and i both know the history
of burkittsville
172
00:10:33,830 --> 00:10:37,426
And the events that have earned
our town its peculiar reputation
173
00:10:37,427 --> 00:10:40,192
Past events have proven that
something evil resides
174
00:10:40,193 --> 00:10:42,314
In the black hills that
surround us
175
00:10:42,315 --> 00:10:46,796
The same black hills that those three
young people hiked into a few month ago
176
00:10:46,797 --> 00:10:48,507
And never came back from
177
00:10:48,508 --> 00:10:53,015
I urge you to look to the past fot
the answers you seek
178
00:10:53,016 --> 00:10:55,508
Sincerely, dottie fulcher
179
00:10:55,509 --> 00:10:59,696
They won't tell me anything
That why there's this
180
00:10:59,697 --> 00:11:04,195
Feeling that i have that they know
more than they're willing to talk about
181
00:11:04,196 --> 00:11:08,262
I think that they don't want to
admit that they saw her and that's she's there
182
00:11:08,263 --> 00:11:12,353
You know, elly is not very far from
any of us at any time
183
00:11:12,354 --> 00:11:15,123
And she chooses her time
to appear
184
00:11:15,124 --> 00:11:16,124
And um
185
00:11:18,046 --> 00:11:21,301
They just don't want to
acknowledge that
186
00:11:21,923 --> 00:11:27,192
The Origin
187
00:11:36,752 --> 00:11:40,978
My name is luken johnson
and i'm a witch
188
00:11:42,197 --> 00:11:52,115
Mystic
Occurrences
189
00:11:54,352 --> 00:11:56,937
Witchcraft is basically
a science
190
00:11:56,938 --> 00:11:59,427
You have a delineation
between paganism
191
00:11:59,428 --> 00:12:03,052
Or polytheistic religions
more than one god
192
00:12:03,053 --> 00:12:08,940
And witchcraft, which is a scientific
study of energies and materials
193
00:12:08,941 --> 00:12:13,602
But the power of air,
i bless and consecrate thee
194
00:12:13,603 --> 00:12:16,704
From the goddess to the god
soon would it be
195
00:12:16,705 --> 00:12:20,393
Wiccanism is a new religion
196
00:12:20,394 --> 00:12:23,141
What you got to understand
here, man, is
197
00:12:23,142 --> 00:12:26,870
We lost most of the records for
what would be considered witchcraft
198
00:12:26,871 --> 00:12:30,888
Throughout the latter part
of the 1700 to 1800s
199
00:12:30,889 --> 00:12:35,689
And a lot beforehad with
burning times as we refer to it
200
00:12:36,197 --> 00:12:38,460
Bring out elizabeth selwin
201
00:12:40,089 --> 00:12:43,717
These are when people were tortured
and killed.. the salem witch hunts
202
00:12:43,718 --> 00:12:46,632
A simple case of bad bread..
the grain in the bread..
203
00:12:46,633 --> 00:12:48,111
Cuz hallucinogenics
204
00:12:48,112 --> 00:12:51,519
You get a bunch of kids hallucinating
that someone is making fun of them
205
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:55,433
Or torturing them, then, of course
parents are going to react in a protective manner
206
00:12:55,434 --> 00:12:58,860
Before you know it, people are
dying by hundreds because
207
00:12:58,861 --> 00:13:01,290
So-and-so did somthing evil
208
00:13:01,291 --> 00:13:02,966
WITCH
209
00:13:03,799 --> 00:13:05,399
Burn . Burn
210
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,343
Most of the time it wasn't
anything to do with evil
211
00:13:07,344 --> 00:13:13,221
These were people that were trying
to help through either natural lore, herbalism
212
00:13:13,222 --> 00:13:18,300
Any kind of medicine that may
not have been standard practice
213
00:13:18,936 --> 00:13:20,036
Burn the witch
214
00:13:22,899 --> 00:13:26,161
But by the revolutionary war
215
00:13:26,162 --> 00:13:30,746
These trials, which were quite
common at the time
216
00:13:30,747 --> 00:13:36,656
Had somewhat faded out
and witchcraft had
217
00:13:38,114 --> 00:13:40,868
Was a thing of the past
218
00:13:40,869 --> 00:13:42,765
Except in the rural areas
219
00:13:42,766 --> 00:13:47,727
And there we had a lot of
superstition among the populations
220
00:13:47,728 --> 00:13:50,779
And people still practiced
witchcraft
221
00:13:50,780 --> 00:13:52,760
Two example come to my
mind
222
00:13:53,777 --> 00:13:58,110
One being a 1786 case
223
00:13:58,111 --> 00:14:00,993
Of the blair witch of maryland
224
00:14:00,994 --> 00:14:07,254
The other one being the bell witch
of adams, tennessee, in 1817
225
00:14:07,255 --> 00:14:12,358
Now, while both of these cases are
interesting academically
226
00:14:12,359 --> 00:14:17,880
I find the blair witch of maryland
the most colorful
227
00:14:17,881 --> 00:14:20,614
I mean what's your take on the
blair witch at this point ?
228
00:14:20,615 --> 00:14:24,274
- Do you think she exists ?
- I don't know
229
00:14:27,504 --> 00:14:30,864
This is burkittsville,
formerly blair
230
00:14:31,427 --> 00:14:34,818
It is a small, quiet
maryland town
231
00:14:34,819 --> 00:14:37,731
Much like a small quiet town
anywhere
232
00:14:37,732 --> 00:14:41,310
I'm bill barnes
i'm the executive director
233
00:14:41,311 --> 00:14:44,288
To the historical society here
in burkittsville
234
00:14:44,289 --> 00:14:46,350
I've been that for quite a few
years and
235
00:14:46,351 --> 00:14:48,629
Am know as the town historian
236
00:14:48,630 --> 00:14:52,608
And i've tried to keep up with
our history and make it
237
00:14:52,609 --> 00:14:56,191
Be alive to the people that
come behind me
238
00:14:56,192 --> 00:15:01,480
Burkittsville was actually founded
on another old town by the name of blair
239
00:15:01,481 --> 00:15:08,253
And it was founded here in 1734 to
protect the western approaches to baltimore
240
00:15:08,254 --> 00:15:11,875
From attack by the indians
and so forth
241
00:15:11,876 --> 00:15:18,142
But it died out
because of a witch
242
00:15:23,375 --> 00:15:25,736
Her name was ELLY KEDWARDS
243
00:15:25,737 --> 00:15:28,447
And she took a bunch of the
children .. kidnapped them
244
00:15:28,448 --> 00:15:31,519
And carried them off into the woods
and they never found them again
245
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,042
And the people became very afraid
and they pulled up
246
00:15:34,043 --> 00:15:36,459
And left and abandoned the
town
247
00:15:36,460 --> 00:15:39,966
And it stayed abandoned
for 40 years
248
00:15:39,967 --> 00:15:43,532
Though records from this period
of history are scarce
249
00:15:43,533 --> 00:15:47,755
This registry of the seafaring
vessel the reliant
250
00:15:47,756 --> 00:15:50,378
Shows that a woman
name ELLY KEDWARD
251
00:15:50,379 --> 00:15:53,909
The woman history has labeled
as the BLAIR WITCH
252
00:15:53,910 --> 00:15:57,179
Did in fact sail from ireland
to baltimore
253
00:15:57,180 --> 00:16:00,553
In the summer of 1769
254
00:16:01,136 --> 00:16:04,150
The blair witch story
begins like
255
00:16:04,151 --> 00:16:08,478
All other witch stories with an
old haggard lady
256
00:16:08,479 --> 00:16:11,513
And in this particular case
she was a catholic
257
00:16:11,514 --> 00:16:15,602
Living in a predominantly
protestant community
258
00:16:15,603 --> 00:16:19,070
The story goes that she had
bled a few children
259
00:16:19,071 --> 00:16:21,178
And by the pinpricks
260
00:16:21,179 --> 00:16:25,351
Probably Cuz of some sort of
illness that she detected
261
00:16:25,352 --> 00:16:27,508
Or something to that
Effect
262
00:16:27,509 --> 00:16:30,403
The children went back and
reported it to their parents
263
00:16:30,404 --> 00:16:34,257
This is, of course at that time
an early sign of witchcraft
264
00:16:34,258 --> 00:16:38,619
She was tried summarily
convicted and banished
265
00:16:38,620 --> 00:16:41,971
The winter she was banished
was supposedly the worst ever
266
00:16:41,972 --> 00:16:43,998
And no one knows
what happened to her
267
00:16:43,999 --> 00:16:46,739
She was left by herself
out in the woods
268
00:16:46,740 --> 00:16:49,419
What they did was they
blindfolded her
269
00:16:49,420 --> 00:16:51,288
took her out into the woods
270
00:16:51,289 --> 00:16:53,834
And this was in the middle
of the winter
271
00:16:53,835 --> 00:16:56,863
Tied her to a tree
and left her
272
00:16:56,864 --> 00:17:00,155
Where she soon succumbed
to the elements
273
00:17:00,156 --> 00:17:04,411
The following year the young
lady who was her first accuser
274
00:17:04,412 --> 00:17:07,600
And most of the other children
who were her accusers
275
00:17:07,601 --> 00:17:09,348
And children of the village
276
00:17:09,349 --> 00:17:11,938
vanished throughout the
course of the winter
277
00:17:11,939 --> 00:17:16,262
By the end of the winter over half
the town's children has disappeared
278
00:17:16,263 --> 00:17:20,323
Immediately the townspeople
blame these disappearances
279
00:17:20,324 --> 00:17:22,338
On elly the witch
280
00:17:22,339 --> 00:17:26,438
The people simply vacated
the area.. they left
281
00:17:26,439 --> 00:17:28,312
They Abandoned the
Community
282
00:17:28,313 --> 00:17:31,841
And they never spoke about
the incident again
283
00:17:31,842 --> 00:17:33,387
As he related to me
284
00:17:33,388 --> 00:17:37,050
He had lived in a small town
40 miles to the north
285
00:17:37,051 --> 00:17:39,419
The place had been abandoned
he told me
286
00:17:39,420 --> 00:17:41,610
As it had come under
a curse
287
00:17:41,611 --> 00:17:46,259
The well-built homes That still
stood there were boarded up and empty
288
00:17:46,260 --> 00:17:51,921
With no sign as to why their denizens
had chosen to leave so abruptly
289
00:17:51,922 --> 00:17:55,163
This man had heard that the town
had been cursed by a witch
290
00:17:55,164 --> 00:17:59,372
And he claimed he had seen a cemetery
full of the gravestones of children
291
00:17:59,373 --> 00:18:03,381
But whether that is true or not
i could not say
292
00:18:03,382 --> 00:18:07,261
In 1809, a rare book about
the occurrences
293
00:18:07,262 --> 00:18:10,409
Surrounding The Blair witch
legend was discovered
294
00:18:10,410 --> 00:18:13,326
Entitle the blair witch cult
295
00:18:13,327 --> 00:18:15,873
This tome is supposedly
a collection
296
00:18:15,874 --> 00:18:18,947
Of firsthand accounts
that illustrate the effects
297
00:18:18,948 --> 00:18:21,049
Of the infamous blair witch
298
00:18:21,050 --> 00:18:24,876
And the book is filled with
bloodletting
299
00:18:24,877 --> 00:18:29,544
All kinds of bloody gore
witchcraft, paganism
300
00:18:29,545 --> 00:18:33,187
Basically it's a pack of lies
don't believe any of it
301
00:18:33,188 --> 00:18:36,673
But the people of the time
did believe in it
302
00:18:36,674 --> 00:18:40,358
The awful hag wrenched the boy's
head from his writhing body
303
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,435
And defiled the church with
his warm blood
304
00:18:43,436 --> 00:18:48,689
It was then that i noticed a dog's
teat had sprouted from her leg
305
00:18:48,690 --> 00:18:51,943
She controlled the animals in the
forest even the trees
306
00:18:51,944 --> 00:18:54,346
Seeming to do her bidding
307
00:18:54,347 --> 00:18:58,320
When she walked she didn't
touch the ground
308
00:18:58,321 --> 00:19:00,847
And her followers made a
horrible mulch
309
00:19:00,848 --> 00:19:05,240
Of the countless dead
littering the streets
310
00:19:05,241 --> 00:19:09,366
The blair witch cult
by anonymous, 1809
311
00:19:09,367 --> 00:19:11,856
It was about the blair witch
and it was pretty true
312
00:19:11,857 --> 00:19:15,007
Pretty factual book about what
really happened here
313
00:19:15,008 --> 00:19:17,748
But the maryland historical
society wanted it back
314
00:19:17,749 --> 00:19:21,285
And they took it over almost
over.. my dead body
315
00:19:21,286 --> 00:19:25,144
But i couldn't keep it Cuz
it did belong to them
316
00:19:25,145 --> 00:19:28,577
Thirty-eight years later
a chance encounter
317
00:19:28,578 --> 00:19:32,250
Resurrected the abandoned
township of blair
318
00:19:32,251 --> 00:19:34,552
They were building a railroad
through here
319
00:19:34,553 --> 00:19:35,822
And the gentleman building
the railroad
320
00:19:35,823 --> 00:19:37,979
Was out ridin' his horse
and got lost
321
00:19:37,980 --> 00:19:39,631
Stumbled up on an old road
322
00:19:39,632 --> 00:19:43,572
And it led into what was
blair at the time
323
00:19:43,573 --> 00:19:46,613
He had a Friend named
burkitt
324
00:19:46,614 --> 00:19:49,330
And Mr. burkitt was a
developer
325
00:19:49,331 --> 00:19:52,993
And he talked him into coming
here and developin' this area
326
00:19:52,994 --> 00:19:55,143
And he named it burkittsville
327
00:19:55,144 --> 00:19:58,598
The town was actually formed
about 1824
328
00:19:58,599 --> 00:20:00,981
And right about a year
after that
329
00:20:00,982 --> 00:20:03,222
The crops had come in
330
00:20:03,223 --> 00:20:05,757
Wheat was mostly what the
farmers grew there
331
00:20:05,758 --> 00:20:11,591
And the crops were in and they
decided to have a picnic down on the
local creek
332
00:20:11,592 --> 00:20:15,507
Tappy east creek has been
possessed by a demon
333
00:20:15,508 --> 00:20:18,253
Since ilene's horrible death
a fortnight passed
334
00:20:18,254 --> 00:20:23,849
The creek has been polluted by a
foul oil and an abundance of strange totem
335
00:20:23,850 --> 00:20:27,838
Mary Johnson, 1825.
336
00:20:32,691 --> 00:20:34,933
There was an incident
that occurred
337
00:20:34,934 --> 00:20:39,987
Involving a young child bt the
name of ilene treakle
338
00:20:39,988 --> 00:20:43,317
This little girl was playing in a very
shallow stream of water
339
00:20:43,318 --> 00:20:45,360
And she drowned
340
00:20:50,578 --> 00:20:51,723
That creek was real
shallow
341
00:20:51,724 --> 00:20:54,193
It was only probably six to
eight inches deep
342
00:20:54,194 --> 00:20:57,023
A child could just wade across
or crawl across there
343
00:20:57,024 --> 00:20:58,944
Really it was so shallow
344
00:20:58,945 --> 00:21:00,790
Well supposedly according
to the story
345
00:21:00,791 --> 00:21:04,698
There was 12 witnesses
who observed
346
00:21:04,699 --> 00:21:07,430
A ghostly white hand
347
00:21:07,431 --> 00:21:10,276
Come up out of the water and
drag the child under the water
348
00:21:10,277 --> 00:21:13,533
That's all they could see.
nobody ever saw a face or body
349
00:21:13,534 --> 00:21:16,633
All they remember seeing was
the arm and the hand
350
00:21:16,634 --> 00:21:18,010
And before they could
get to her
351
00:21:18,011 --> 00:21:20,643
She had went and pulled
her down
352
00:21:20,644 --> 00:21:22,625
She went under the rocks and
the mud
353
00:21:22,626 --> 00:21:25,447
And everything was calm
again
354
00:21:25,448 --> 00:21:28,201
But i have a problem
with this story
355
00:21:28,202 --> 00:21:33,013
How is it that 11 people happend
to be in the right place
356
00:21:33,014 --> 00:21:37,601
At the same time To simultaneously
see this chostly hand come up
357
00:21:37,602 --> 00:21:40,271
And drag this child under
the water ?
358
00:21:40,272 --> 00:21:41,852
The river is searched
359
00:21:41,853 --> 00:21:44,060
Now unfortunately you're talking
about knee-deep water
360
00:21:44,061 --> 00:21:46,102
It's only two or three feet
at the maximum
361
00:21:46,103 --> 00:21:49,717
Her body should have easily been
found. it's never found
362
00:21:49,718 --> 00:21:52,041
I think that in the case
363
00:21:52,042 --> 00:21:56,278
Of the ilene treakle story
364
00:21:56,279 --> 00:21:59,219
Is that there's another
explanation
365
00:21:59,220 --> 00:22:02,987
That perhaps it was something
like parental neglect
366
00:22:02,988 --> 00:22:06,351
Someone wasn't watching the child
amd the child drowned
367
00:22:06,352 --> 00:22:09,136
For the first time in
recorded history
368
00:22:09,137 --> 00:22:11,954
A death is blamed on
the blair witch
369
00:22:11,955 --> 00:22:14,575
The news of it spreads as
far as baltimore
370
00:22:14,576 --> 00:22:16,878
Sparking this reaction
371
00:22:16,879 --> 00:22:20,168
Dear sir : i find myself force to
write this letter
372
00:22:20,169 --> 00:22:24,504
Upon the atrocity i found within
your pages this sunday past
373
00:22:24,505 --> 00:22:29,128
I've never seen such callousness
shown towards the death of ayoung child
374
00:22:29,129 --> 00:22:33,954
Especially one who taken from this
world in such a terrible manner
375
00:22:33,955 --> 00:22:36,832
As to your humorous view of
the beliefs of the parents
376
00:22:36,833 --> 00:22:39,020
That she was murdered
by a ghost
377
00:22:39,021 --> 00:22:42,545
I remind you that there have been
many reports of such terrible specters
378
00:22:42,546 --> 00:22:45,215
Witnessed in the nearby
townships
379
00:22:45,216 --> 00:22:49,128
Whether or not these wild tales
are true is incidental
380
00:22:49,129 --> 00:22:52,894
The fact remains that a young girl
has tragically drowned
381
00:22:52,895 --> 00:22:54,871
And her memory should
not be tarnished
382
00:22:54,872 --> 00:22:57,719
By such wild and torrid
speculation
383
00:22:57,720 --> 00:22:59,907
Over the manner of her death
384
00:22:59,908 --> 00:23:02,917
Sincerly, Eugene robertson
385
00:23:02,918 --> 00:23:07,021
The river according to what we've
been told through written records
386
00:23:07,022 --> 00:23:09,627
Then turns oily and has a bunch
of stick figures
387
00:23:09,628 --> 00:23:12,370
Floating into it for
the next week
388
00:23:12,371 --> 00:23:15,741
No one can use the river for any kind
of water for food or drinking
389
00:23:15,742 --> 00:23:18,412
Or anything like that.
it's totally unusable
390
00:23:18,413 --> 00:23:20,690
After that the people wouldn't even go
near the creek
391
00:23:20,691 --> 00:23:21,639
They wouldn't fish in it
392
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,292
They didn't swim in it. they didn't
do anything in it.
393
00:23:24,293 --> 00:23:26,304
Cuz it just scared them
completely to death
394
00:23:26,305 --> 00:23:29,446
And they blamed that on the
blair witch
395
00:23:29,447 --> 00:23:35,419
May, 15, 1829 : Delivered twin
calves this morning
396
00:23:35,420 --> 00:23:37,933
I'm moving the entire herd
to the fallow pasture
397
00:23:37,934 --> 00:23:41,506
Cuz three cattle died from
drinking creek water
398
00:23:41,507 --> 00:23:43,849
I'm using the pond instead
399
00:23:43,850 --> 00:23:47,263
Lloyd wellens
farming journal
400
00:23:50,571 --> 00:23:53,775
And the town again kind of
returned to normal
401
00:23:53,776 --> 00:23:56,601
One more time
402
00:24:04,100 --> 00:24:06,339
They went into the woods
prepared to find death
403
00:24:06,340 --> 00:24:08,333
What they found was a
desecration of humanity
404
00:24:08,334 --> 00:24:11,835
At the site which trappers have
referred to as 'coffin rock'
405
00:24:11,836 --> 00:24:14,035
On top of the rock
formation
406
00:24:18,915 --> 00:24:21,716
There was a lady lived there in
town when i was a boy
407
00:24:21,717 --> 00:24:23,989
She was 50 years old
when i knew her
408
00:24:23,990 --> 00:24:27,026
And she told me when she
was a little girl
409
00:24:27,027 --> 00:24:29,578
She had been walking in
the woods one day
410
00:24:29,579 --> 00:24:31,634
And this lady appeared to her
411
00:24:31,635 --> 00:24:35,454
And she wasn't walking, she was
floating in the air, really
412
00:24:35,455 --> 00:24:39,551
And took her by the hand and led
her to an old house back in the woods
413
00:24:39,552 --> 00:24:41,498
And took her down in
the basement
414
00:24:41,499 --> 00:24:44,234
And left her there and said
she'd ba back
415
00:24:44,235 --> 00:24:45,440
And she left
416
00:24:45,441 --> 00:24:48,463
And the little girl sat there she
said, for several hours
417
00:24:48,464 --> 00:24:50,074
And finally she got scared
418
00:24:50,075 --> 00:24:52,792
She was able to crawl
through a window
419
00:24:52,793 --> 00:24:54,625
And ran back to town
420
00:24:54,626 --> 00:24:56,453
But in the meantime
421
00:24:56,454 --> 00:24:58,248
The town had started to
search for her
422
00:24:58,249 --> 00:25:01,014
They sent out a search party
to look for her in the woods
423
00:25:01,015 --> 00:25:04,169
But it's plausible here that
this little girl
424
00:25:04,170 --> 00:25:06,876
Was only telling a story
425
00:25:06,877 --> 00:25:10,112
Of the blair witch as she had
heard it from, maybe,
426
00:25:10,113 --> 00:25:13,761
Her parents, her siblings or
her friends
427
00:25:13,762 --> 00:25:17,551
But what is strange
about this case
428
00:25:17,552 --> 00:25:20,408
Was that the first search party
that had gone out
429
00:25:20,409 --> 00:25:23,003
To look for the little girl
had vanished
430
00:25:23,004 --> 00:25:27,087
When the entire search party
failed to return
431
00:25:27,088 --> 00:25:31,477
Another search party was
dispatched to find them
432
00:25:31,478 --> 00:25:35,265
What they found was
a massacre
433
00:25:35,266 --> 00:25:38,837
And That search party come up
on coffin hill or coffin rock
434
00:25:38,838 --> 00:25:40,908
And found those men
435
00:25:40,909 --> 00:25:43,983
The first search party had
been killed
436
00:25:43,984 --> 00:25:46,546
Laid out on a flat rock
in the woods
437
00:25:46,547 --> 00:25:48,445
They had been disemboweled
438
00:25:48,446 --> 00:25:51,446
And on their faces hands
and feet
439
00:25:51,447 --> 00:25:56,183
Were carved these strange
pagan symbols
440
00:25:56,184 --> 00:25:59,120
And they were heavily cut
in by the ropes
441
00:25:59,121 --> 00:26:01,344
So they were alive when
they were tied up
442
00:26:01,345 --> 00:26:04,994
And somebody had disemboweled
every one of them
443
00:26:04,995 --> 00:26:07,436
And cut some letters and stuff
in their foreheads
444
00:26:07,437 --> 00:26:11,386
Very good.. it wasn't crude
you could read what was there
445
00:26:11,387 --> 00:26:14,368
It was all symbolic-type
stuff
446
00:26:14,369 --> 00:26:16,591
And it scared them
very bad
447
00:26:16,592 --> 00:26:18,873
Like most it would anybody
448
00:26:18,874 --> 00:26:20,942
I couldn't have stood
there very long
449
00:26:20,943 --> 00:26:26,380
Their bodies were in a severe
state of decomposition
450
00:26:27,188 --> 00:26:30,023
So the search party goes
back to get help
451
00:26:30,024 --> 00:26:31,741
And when they return
452
00:26:31,742 --> 00:26:34,785
The bodies have vanished
without a trace
453
00:26:34,786 --> 00:26:37,884
But they could still smell
death in the air
454
00:26:37,885 --> 00:26:40,598
Which where men die
or women die
455
00:26:40,599 --> 00:26:43,715
That you can always
smell that
456
00:26:43,716 --> 00:26:46,746
And there was no sign
of them there
457
00:26:46,747 --> 00:26:50,514
Now, you notice there has
been an interval
458
00:26:50,515 --> 00:26:53,678
Of about 60 years in between
these events
459
00:26:53,679 --> 00:26:57,661
And if we move forward
to 1940
460
00:26:57,662 --> 00:26:59,607
which is about 60 years
461
00:26:59,608 --> 00:27:03,321
We find another interesting
situation
462
00:27:03,322 --> 00:27:06,185
Happens in this very
same area
463
00:27:06,186 --> 00:27:10,152
There are an unusually high
number of children laid to rest here
464
00:27:10,153 --> 00:27:13,089
Most of whom passed
in the 1940s
465
00:27:13,090 --> 00:27:17,881
Yet no one in the town seens to
recall anything unusual about this time
466
00:27:17,882 --> 00:27:19,478
To us anyway
467
00:27:19,479 --> 00:27:22,090
Yet legend tells a
different story
468
00:27:22,091 --> 00:27:24,817
One whose evidence is all
around us
469
00:27:24,818 --> 00:27:26,934
Etched in stone
470
00:27:43,666 --> 00:27:54,033

471
00:28:44,944 --> 00:28:49,738
- As i rememver Mr. parr was
an old hermit
- Right
472
00:28:49,739 --> 00:28:53,440
And he lived up on the mountain
he had a place up there
473
00:28:53,441 --> 00:28:54,990
It'd been there a long, long time
474
00:28:54,991 --> 00:28:59,833
Sort of in the winter, i guess
the fall or the winter 1940
475
00:28:59,834 --> 00:29:02,802
Some of the young kids started
to disappear
476
00:29:02,803 --> 00:29:07,362
Nobody knew anything about
why they were disappearing
477
00:29:07,363 --> 00:29:10,934
Finally one day old Mr. parr
come down into the market
478
00:29:10,935 --> 00:29:12,930
And said : i'm finally
finished
479
00:29:12,931 --> 00:29:14,188
And what did he mean
by that ?
480
00:29:14,189 --> 00:29:16,301
Well i guess nobody knew
at first
481
00:29:16,302 --> 00:29:20,419
But the police finally went up
on the mountain
482
00:29:20,420 --> 00:29:22,522
And they search his house
483
00:29:22,523 --> 00:29:25,436
and they found the bodies
of 7 kids from the area
484
00:29:25,437 --> 00:29:27,556
And those were the seven kids
that were missing
485
00:29:27,557 --> 00:29:29,439
And then they brought them
out of the woods
486
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:32,727
one at a time. it just was a
terrible thing
487
00:29:32,728 --> 00:29:34,630
It just tore the community up
488
00:29:34,631 --> 00:29:36,467
Each of them had again
been disemboweled
489
00:29:36,468 --> 00:29:40,579
There was again reported strange
markings of carvings on their hands
490
00:29:40,580 --> 00:29:44,452
On their foreheads ritualistic
carvings, if you well
491
00:29:44,453 --> 00:29:48,432
Well, rustin parr admitted
to this crime
492
00:29:48,433 --> 00:29:51,172
And in the court he
said that
493
00:29:51,173 --> 00:29:54,696
The reason he killed the children
is that he was doing
494
00:29:54,697 --> 00:29:59,110
What this old lady ghost had
told him to do
495
00:29:59,111 --> 00:30:03,025
Now it's possible
that this man
496
00:30:03,026 --> 00:30:05,799
Was trying to fit himself
497
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:09,008
Into the mythos of
the blair witch
498
00:30:10,301 --> 00:30:12,107
But that's conjecture
499
00:30:12,108 --> 00:30:15,279
One child, kyle brody
500
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,945
Would escape from parr's
clutches
501
00:30:17,946 --> 00:30:22,597
He was able to give testimony
and it was his words
502
00:30:22,598 --> 00:30:26,371
That decided the fate of the
burkittsville killer
503
00:30:26,372 --> 00:30:27,372
Order order
504
00:30:27,373 --> 00:30:31,746
And ladies and gentlemen
i once again quote kyle brody
505
00:30:31,747 --> 00:30:34,842
He told me to stand in the
corner and face the wall
506
00:30:34,843 --> 00:30:38,026
I could hear emily screaming
he was cutting her
507
00:30:38,027 --> 00:30:41,808
I looked. he was cutting a
symbol on her face
508
00:30:41,809 --> 00:30:44,969
Sometimes he would come up
to me do you hear her ?
509
00:30:44,970 --> 00:30:49,067
Do you hear the woman's voice ?
i would cry
510
00:30:49,068 --> 00:30:52,539
After a few days, he killed her
he cut her open
511
00:30:52,540 --> 00:30:56,019
And after he took everything out
of her, he left with her
512
00:30:56,020 --> 00:30:57,885
And i never saw her again
513
00:30:57,886 --> 00:31:00,728
when he came back he told me
not to be sad
514
00:31:00,729 --> 00:31:04,840
That he'd bring someone
else back soon
515
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:10,693
They burned rustin parr's house
to the ground that night
516
00:31:10,694 --> 00:31:13,795
He was hanged four
months later
517
00:31:13,796 --> 00:31:17,914
On november 22 , 1941
518
00:31:19,674 --> 00:31:24,409
I had a tape one time of a
TV .. of a Newsreel
519
00:31:24,410 --> 00:31:27,237
Showing him where he was
murdered
520
00:31:27,238 --> 00:31:30,336
He was killed for murdering
those seven boys
521
00:31:30,337 --> 00:31:33,387
Why did you do it Mr. parr ?
522
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:37,774
- I hear voices in my head
- What kind of voices ?
523
00:31:37,775 --> 00:31:41,955
- A woman's
- Whose voice, Mr. parr ?
524
00:31:43,854 --> 00:31:48,101
- No idea who it was
- Was it satan ? was it blair witch ?
525
00:31:48,102 --> 00:31:51,841
- Could've been
- How did you kill the children Mr. parr ?
526
00:31:51,842 --> 00:31:55,550
- With knives
- Were you alone in the killing ?
527
00:31:55,551 --> 00:31:59,731
- Yes
How did you get the children
into the woods ?
528
00:31:59,732 --> 00:32:02,568
- Promised them things
- What kind of things ?
529
00:32:02,569 --> 00:32:06,632
- Candy
- Did you kill other children that
we don't know about ?
530
00:32:06,633 --> 00:32:09,269
- No
- Over here Mr. parr
531
00:32:10,286 --> 00:32:13,892
Mr. parr why those seven
children ?
532
00:32:13,893 --> 00:32:16,069
That's what the
voices told me
533
00:32:16,070 --> 00:32:21,452
The writings on the wall in your
house what do they mean ?
534
00:32:21,453 --> 00:32:25,798
What were the writings on the
wall, Mr. parr
535
00:32:25,799 --> 00:32:30,696
- Did you write those ? did you
write on the walls ?
- No
536
00:32:30,697 --> 00:32:32,949
Who wrote on the
walls Mr. parr
537
00:32:32,950 --> 00:32:35,647
You've been sentenced to death
do you feel this is fair ?
538
00:32:35,648 --> 00:32:37,247
Yes
539
00:32:37,248 --> 00:32:39,309
Mr. parr do you think god
has forgiven you ?
540
00:32:39,310 --> 00:32:40,310
Yes
541
00:32:43,310 --> 00:32:45,180
Have you asked the priest for
absolution ?
542
00:32:45,181 --> 00:32:46,955
Yes
543
00:32:47,887 --> 00:32:50,116
Members of your family been
to see you ?
544
00:32:50,117 --> 00:32:51,117
No
545
00:32:51,118 --> 00:32:53,160
Mr. parr Mr. parr
546
00:33:15,114 --> 00:33:16,882
- What ?
- Nothing i don't know why
547
00:33:16,883 --> 00:33:18,502
You have to have very
conversation on video
548
00:33:18,503 --> 00:33:20,400
- Tape some ambience
- We're making a documentary
549
00:33:20,401 --> 00:33:21,667
Not about us getting lost
550
00:33:21,668 --> 00:33:24,399
We're making a documentary
about a witch
551
00:33:25,094 --> 00:33:26,705
I have a camera
552
00:33:26,706 --> 00:33:33,397
Doesn't hurt cuz we'll look back
on this and laugh heartly. believe me
553
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,161
So we're working over there
and all of a sudden
554
00:34:01,162 --> 00:34:04,686
I hear kind of a commotion from
the other side of the foundation
555
00:34:04,687 --> 00:34:07,821
And i hear, like , rocks
banging together
556
00:34:07,822 --> 00:34:10,788
And we kind of ran around the side
and apparently what happened
557
00:34:10,789 --> 00:34:13,252
Was that pete was removing
a stone
558
00:34:13,253 --> 00:34:15,078
And a section of the wall
just caved in
559
00:34:15,079 --> 00:34:16,904
Nobody was hurt this
was only
560
00:34:16,905 --> 00:34:21,805
This section of the wall by this was
only about four or five feet off the ground
561
00:34:21,806 --> 00:34:24,407
And so i checked and nobody
was injured
562
00:34:24,408 --> 00:34:26,862
And i told them clear this out
a little bit
563
00:34:26,863 --> 00:34:29,592
And about 20 Minutes later
pete comes running up
564
00:34:29,593 --> 00:34:34,784
And he's got this dirty old like
a backpack in his hand
565
00:34:34,785 --> 00:34:37,995
By the way they had
located those
566
00:34:37,996 --> 00:34:40,132
It appeared the stones
had been there
567
00:34:40,133 --> 00:34:45,136
For many many years and had
not been disturbed
568
00:34:45,137 --> 00:34:50,389
So it makes you wonser how
someone had removed those stones
569
00:34:50,390 --> 00:34:54,049
Forensically in other words
stone by stone
570
00:34:54,050 --> 00:34:56,105
Carefully not disturbing
them
571
00:34:56,106 --> 00:34:58,963
And then putting them back
in the same exact order
572
00:34:58,964 --> 00:35:02,322
That they were originally
in the ground
573
00:35:02,323 --> 00:35:06,887
Make you wonder why
they were hiding them there
574
00:35:06,888 --> 00:35:08,872
Certaintly not for someone
to find them
575
00:35:08,873 --> 00:35:13,204
Cuz they would stay there for
years and years more
576
00:35:13,205 --> 00:35:16,871
If they hadn't have done
that anthropology dig
577
00:35:16,872 --> 00:35:21,149
What i recognized real quickly were
a couple of 16-millimeter film cans
578
00:35:21,150 --> 00:35:25,989
And there was also what looked like some
videotape cartridges in there
579
00:35:27,140 --> 00:35:28,358
This had nothing at all to do
580
00:35:28,359 --> 00:35:30,886
With colonial period stuff
of course
581
00:35:30,887 --> 00:35:33,870
And so, i called the sheriff
582
00:35:33,871 --> 00:35:36,881
Footage was found allegedly
583
00:35:36,882 --> 00:35:40,166
That was filmed by the
three students
584
00:35:40,167 --> 00:35:42,818
I contacted the local
color lab
585
00:35:42,819 --> 00:35:46,258
we got it developed and i
reviewed the film
586
00:35:46,259 --> 00:35:49,536
And all i found was the
students themselves
587
00:35:49,537 --> 00:35:53,445
Some scary noises in the
woods at night
588
00:35:53,446 --> 00:35:55,611
And a few examples of that
589
00:35:55,612 --> 00:36:00,979
But no concrete evidence
on what happened to the students
590
00:36:04,853 --> 00:36:06,665
Listen
591
00:36:07,647 --> 00:36:09,124
Hello ?
592
00:36:10,185 --> 00:36:11,954
Hello ?
593
00:36:19,004 --> 00:36:21,694
It's all around us
594
00:36:22,689 --> 00:36:25,383
This backpack was found
595
00:36:25,384 --> 00:36:28,090
In sterile soil
596
00:36:28,091 --> 00:36:29,676
Which is like the bottom
of the site
597
00:36:29,677 --> 00:36:33,968
It's just you know from there to
the middle of the earth is just dirt
598
00:36:33,969 --> 00:36:36,670
The original house at the site
had burned down
599
00:36:36,671 --> 00:36:39,436
And so there was a layer of ash
that was like sitting
600
00:36:39,437 --> 00:36:41,756
In the interior of the house
like the basement
601
00:36:41,757 --> 00:36:45,634
So this knapsack had been
in sterile soil
602
00:36:45,635 --> 00:36:48,656
With no evidence around
it of disturbance
603
00:36:48,657 --> 00:36:52,166
Over the top of it was an
undisturbed layer of ash
604
00:36:52,167 --> 00:36:54,743
And the whole thing was
boxed in by
605
00:36:54,744 --> 00:37:00,713
Basically a colonial-era wall
that was undisturbed
606
00:37:01,686 --> 00:37:06,441
It was even a forensic
expert
607
00:37:06,442 --> 00:37:09,060
Could not have put that thing
into the site without disturbing
608
00:37:09,061 --> 00:37:13,498
The charcoal, the wall or the
sterile soil
609
00:37:13,499 --> 00:37:15,813
It was as if it materialized
610
00:37:15,814 --> 00:37:17,705
And of course that not the
language of science
611
00:37:17,706 --> 00:37:21,551
So i can't i just don't know
what to say about this, really
612
00:37:21,552 --> 00:37:25,152
At the time that the footage
was found it was scary
613
00:37:25,153 --> 00:37:27,143
It was very very eerie
614
00:37:27,144 --> 00:37:31,627
And it's not something that i'd
really want to look at
615
00:37:31,628 --> 00:37:35,792
To tell you the truth
i've kind of avoided it
616
00:37:35,793 --> 00:37:39,035
I really don't feel too
comfortable
617
00:37:39,036 --> 00:37:43,018
With seeing the last few days
of my brother's life on video
618
00:37:43,019 --> 00:37:48,221
I really just don't feel too
comfortable with that it's very eerie
619
00:37:48,222 --> 00:37:49,805
Well, when they found
620
00:37:49,806 --> 00:37:53,564
This videotape or film or recordings
of whatever it was
621
00:37:53,565 --> 00:37:58,230
Immediately the blair witch
business emerged
622
00:37:58,231 --> 00:37:59,720
And people became
superstitous
623
00:37:59,721 --> 00:38:03,036
And they said, well mabe this is
connected to the blair witch
624
00:38:03,037 --> 00:38:06,195
Well, i though it was kind
of fishy myself
625
00:38:06,196 --> 00:38:09,032
I looked at th whole
thing as
626
00:38:09,033 --> 00:38:10,936
Possibly a hoax or whatever
627
00:38:10,937 --> 00:38:13,385
But it was still strange
628
00:38:13,386 --> 00:38:17,652
After reviewing the film i still
thought it was a hoax
629
00:38:17,653 --> 00:38:21,009
Well, there's always that
possibility, but, uh
630
00:38:21,010 --> 00:38:23,606
I think i mentioned earlier
631
00:38:23,607 --> 00:38:26,335
I think it would be remote that
it's a hoax
632
00:38:26,336 --> 00:38:29,745
Cuz of the way the tapes
were hidden, and
633
00:38:30,954 --> 00:38:32,439
The fact that it
634
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:35,340
Just to view the tapes they
are very realistic
635
00:38:35,341 --> 00:38:39,138
And they do the tape is from a
time period the students
636
00:38:39,139 --> 00:38:42,508
Would have been able to
have taped it
637
00:38:42,509 --> 00:38:45,283
Oh god god
638
00:38:48,004 --> 00:38:50,597
- Hurry up
- I'm coming
639
00:38:50,598 --> 00:38:52,601
My boots aren't laced
640
00:38:52,602 --> 00:38:55,398
Oh my god what the
fuck is that ?
641
00:38:55,399 --> 00:38:57,853
what the fuck is that ?
642
00:39:03,552 --> 00:39:05,703
The case of the black hills
disappearances
643
00:39:05,704 --> 00:39:07,986
Has once again been closed
644
00:39:07,987 --> 00:39:12,894
The investigation was reopened last
october after film reels and videocassettes
645
00:39:12,895 --> 00:39:16,161
Supposedly belonging to the three
missing film students
646
00:39:16,162 --> 00:39:19,617
Were found by a maryland university
anthropology class
647
00:39:19,618 --> 00:39:22,105
Frederick county police officials
declared today that
648
00:39:22,106 --> 00:39:24,279
The found footage was
inconclusive
649
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:27,944
And that all possible leads on the
case have been exhausted
650
00:39:27,945 --> 00:39:31,237
Heather donahu , Joshua leonard
and Michael williams
651
00:39:31,238 --> 00:39:35,559
Disappeared in 1994 while shooting
a documentary film project
652
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:38,332
In the black hills area near
burkittsville
653
00:39:38,333 --> 00:39:42,397
The three student filmmakers
are still missing
654
00:39:42,398 --> 00:39:45,644
Burkittsville has only got
myself and one deputy
655
00:39:45,645 --> 00:39:47,567
We did the best we could
656
00:39:47,568 --> 00:39:51,319
We called in the county
authorities early
657
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:54,043
And we contacted the
FBI later
658
00:39:54,044 --> 00:39:57,238
For more in-depth searching
659
00:39:57,239 --> 00:40:00,055
And i hate to publicly
criticize
660
00:40:00,056 --> 00:40:02,035
Someone in law enforcement
661
00:40:02,036 --> 00:40:04,881
I was in law enforcement
for 32 years
662
00:40:04,882 --> 00:40:07,559
I just saw that there were
thing, maybe
663
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:09,918
That could have been done
that weren't done
664
00:40:09,919 --> 00:40:11,685
I did a very good job
665
00:40:11,686 --> 00:40:14,551
Well, it seems like that the
666
00:40:14,552 --> 00:40:20,399
This something happens about
every 50 or 60 years
667
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:24,353
To make the blair witch
theory continue on
668
00:40:24,354 --> 00:40:28,276
And i think that's probably what
the cameramen are doin'
669
00:40:28,277 --> 00:40:30,935
They were hopin' to carry it on in
some way and maybe they did
670
00:40:30,936 --> 00:40:33,577
They may have disappeared
who knows for sure ?
671
00:40:33,578 --> 00:40:36,158
But it's just strange that
672
00:40:36,159 --> 00:40:40,545
It always happens almost
in a 50-year pattern
673
00:40:40,546 --> 00:40:43,319
That she somehow surfaces
674
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:47,160
Or something surfaces
that lead to her
675
00:40:47,161 --> 00:40:50,671
I think they knew the legend but
i don't think they knew the whole history
676
00:40:50,672 --> 00:40:52,636
I don't think they felt
677
00:40:54,537 --> 00:40:55,603
Any fear
678
00:40:55,604 --> 00:40:57,825
But i don't think they felt
any kind of respect
679
00:40:57,826 --> 00:41:00,957
I think to them it was just
another project
680
00:41:00,958 --> 00:41:02,954
it was a way to get a grade
681
00:41:02,955 --> 00:41:06,250
And, uh, i think they met her
682
00:41:06,251 --> 00:41:08,831
And i think she met them when
she was ready to
683
00:41:08,832 --> 00:41:10,860
And i think they're gone
684
00:41:11,439 --> 00:41:14,081
I am so, so sorry
685
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:18,390
For everything that
has happened
686
00:41:19,574 --> 00:41:25,104
Because, in spite of what mike
says now, it is my fault
687
00:41:25,105 --> 00:41:27,890
Because it was my project
688
00:41:29,161 --> 00:41:31,677
Everything had to be my way
689
00:41:31,678 --> 00:41:34,633
And this is where we've
ended up
690
00:41:34,634 --> 00:41:38,854
And it's all cuz of me that
we're here now
691
00:41:38,855 --> 00:41:42,132
Hungry and cold
692
00:41:43,938 --> 00:41:46,195
And hunted
693
00:41:52,595 --> 00:41:54,162
I think it's unexplained
694
00:41:54,163 --> 00:41:57,231
I think it remains unexplained
what happened to them
695
00:41:57,232 --> 00:42:02,061
In my law enforcement career
i've seen people that have actually
decided to
696
00:42:02,062 --> 00:42:03,754
Disappear on their own
697
00:42:03,755 --> 00:42:05,394
and reestablish a
new identity
698
00:42:05,395 --> 00:42:08,141
There was no reason in this
case to do that
699
00:42:08,142 --> 00:42:11,376
and there's no indication
that they did
700
00:42:11,377 --> 00:42:15,159
There's never been any
evidence found
701
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:17,236
To show that they're
702
00:42:17,237 --> 00:42:19,827
That they fell upon foul play
703
00:42:19,828 --> 00:42:22,970
That they're no longer living
704
00:42:24,347 --> 00:42:26,534
So it's something in between
705
00:42:26,535 --> 00:42:32,807
Or certainly, in the very least
something very suspicious
706
00:42:36,214 --> 00:43:18,392
