The Legend of the Blair Witch started in 1785 when an old woman named Elly Kedward immigrated over to USA from Ireland, to a town known as “Blair”.
The villagers found out that she was luring the town´s children into her house so that she could get their blood.
In 1786, the townspeople accused her of being a witch and decided to cast her out into the forest with no water or food in the middle of a strict winter. With this, they thought that the witch was gone forever.
However, by the end of that winter, most of the children of Blair had mysteriously disappeared and the villagers blamed Elly Kedward. After that, the townsfolk proclaimed the village of Blair and the Black Woods as cursed.
The townspeople left Blair and swore to never mention Elly Kedward´s name again.
In 1809 a rare book called The Blair Witch Cult is published. It tells of bloodletting and how the entire town of Blair is cursed by the Witch.
The abandoned township was renamed Burkittsville in 1824 and the town was now free of any curse.
One year later a small girl named Eileen Treacle was pulled down by a ghostly hand into Tappy East Creek. There were eleven witnesses who watched the little girl being dragged under superficial water. Her body was never recovered.
For thirteen days afterwards the river stream was reported of being polluted with an oily substance along with a lot of stick figures.
A farmer reported that the cows that drank that river´s water died or had calves with birth defects.
In March 1886 another girl, Robin Weaver, was reported as missing in the Black Woods. A search party was sent to search the young child. The search party didn´t found Robin. However, Robin appeared and she told that she saw an old lady in the forest. She said that the woman didn´t talked and was floating in the air. That woman took Robin to an old house and left her in the basement. Robin was able to escape and returned safely to the town.
The first search party out looking for Robin disappeared. A second search party was sent out looking for them and they were horrified when they found the first search party disemboweled and placed upon a coffin rock with strange pagan symbols carved into their faces and feet
The second search party returned to town bringing back the sheriff with them. They discover that there was no trace of the dead bodies but the air remained intense with the sense of death. None of the bodies were ever recovered.
In November 1940 local children started to mysteriously disappear. Between the dates of November 1940 and May 1941 a total of seven children were reported as missing.
On 25th May, 1941 an old hermit, Rustin Parr, who was known for living in an old house on a hill in the woods came into the local market exclaiming mysteriously that "I've finally finished". This led the police to hike up to his house in the woods where they discovered seven children's bodies ritualistically disemboweled with pagan symbols carved upon them.
Parr said that there was a ghost of an old woman in the woods that disappeared everytime he ran after her. He said that he had a eerie voice in his head telling him what to do. He could not resist that voice and one day, that voice told him to go to the town and get the first two children he saw.
Parr took eight children, but only killed seven of them. He claimed that the woman appeared after he killed the seventh children and told him to go to the town and say to everybody what he had done. He said that she would leave him alone if he did this. Parr released the last children, Kyle Brodie and he cried when was doing it.
When the police came to his house, they found little Kyle shocked and confused on the front terrace. Kylie was unable to speak. They soon came across the bodies of the children in seven graves in the cellar.
Kyle Brody never recovered from the two months that he spent in Parr's house. It was found that Kyle was forced to stand in the corner whilst a child was killed behind him. He remained unable to socialize for the rest of his life until his death in 1971.
Rustin Parr was convicted and hanged.
