HI CADE, its me again neo from Philippines... its really amazing and quite interesting upon my research about the blairwitch project. I been watched the documentary about this project and it really terrifying and horrible learning that blairwitch still existed. Honestly I'm quite sad for what happened to your cousin heather donahue and her 2 companion, but really I takeoff my hat with her, since she really have the guts to research on this project eventhough they knew that its very dangerous and risky. At first I cant believe that those thing happened but I was convinced since I watched about the blairwitch, any way thanks to heather {she's really a brave one} hope that I can come to your place to help you in researching the blairwitch project and really an opportunity to do so. Best regards------NEO

dear Cade hi I am sorry for your cousin I just hope she did not suffer the same fate that the men at coffin rock suffered but I don't think Elly kedward killed your cousin but there is a ancient evil in those woods I think Elly kedward was one of the first that suffered from the power that that evil has my opinion is that Elly kedward was a old woman no more then that my father is a exorcisms priest that has visited the the black hills when I was a young boy but when he returned he wouldn't talk for days and that was around 10 years ago and I just started college and I talked to my dad about it and I asked him about the black hills and his exact words were "there is a incurable evil in those woods that a old ghost woman could not cause there is something that is stronger the any damn ghost there is truly a evil there" a month later I had a dream that a giant daemon like creature rose from tappy creek and there was a child tied to coffin rock the beast put his hand out and disemboweled the child I then saw a small rag fall from the daemon claw and onto the side of coffin rock woke up in a cold sweat the next morning I immediately called for a plane ticket to Maryland as soon as I got there I rented a car and drove near a path leading to coffin rock I got out of the car and ran to coffin rock and the thing that scared me the most was I found a small blue rag I then left burkittsvile and went back to my fathers house and I gave him the rag and went back to my college dorm 2 days later my mother found my dad dead he died in his sleep with the rag in his hand I then knew there is a evil in those woods and that evil took anther life I wish you luck on your research and I pray that the evil wont get you also

May 26, 2001

hey I think that your books are really cool and they will probably help you find out about heather and I know how you feel my best friend last year disappeared and the police don't know what happened so I feel your pain. I have read 1 of your books and it was really good I hope to get more I read the prisoner it was very interesting and I think that Eliza and Abigail had a connection like you said at the end well gots to go.

May 26, 2001

Hi my name is Chris and im 12 years old living in Manchester, England. Im fasinated bout the BlairWitch and the legend itself. Now since your cousin went missing you have searched and found out everything you could about the Legend. And when im older I am definetely going to the Black Forest and finding everything I can about the witch. I dont know if you know but on the film that your cousin made when they enter the house they see fingerprints and LETTERS on the wall. Does that mean or say anything? I am still fasinated about the Blair Witch and I'd really apreciate it if you could keep me updated with any new news and tell me everything you know about the Legend.Thanks Chris.

May 26, 2001

Cade, This is my first time coming here and Ive decided that it's time that someone heard my story. I've tried to tell my parents, but it hasn't had any effects. Last Friday, I started having these totally bizarre dreams, only they were almost way too real. I'd be running through the forest only I wouldn't know why, and I had no idea of where I was going. Suddenly, I'd come to a stream/river where a large flta rock rested. In every dream, I'd go to the same place(coffin rock) and trip every time onto the place where those five people were killed. And every time, I'd turn around and she'd be there. Elly Kedward. I can never see her face perfectly, but I can tell that it's her by the way that the air suddenly becomes cold. One night not too long ago, I wentcamping in the woods with a friend of mine. I went to sleep and had the same dream. The next day, my friend and her dad found me asleep on a large rock by the stream. I don't live anywhere near Burrkittsville, so I know that I hadn't come to coffin rock. Odd coincidence, isn't it? Well, I've got to leave now.

May 25, 2001

Cade, Hey, Jonathan again. I'm writing again because there's always something I forget to mention. I have proof that it may have been Josh that killed, (or whatever), your cousin in "The Project". If you remember, when Heather and Mike were climbing the stairs in Rustin's house at the end of the movie, you could see Josh's empty clothes lying in the middle of the stair case. That's exactly what the kids were doing in the sequel. They had stripped themselves "necked" and performed some kind of satanic ritual while slaying the other tour group, "The Blair Witch Walk". I think that's what Josh was doing in the first movie he had stripped himself and was performing, quite possibly, the same ritual. Heather and Mike met their fate the same way as the Burkittsville 7, one facing the wall while the other is ritualistically murdered and disembowled. I also have a warning that I think you should heed. Remember what i wrote in the first letter? I know that you also have a stickman from readin The Dark Room. You just watch your step out there.

May 24, 2001

My mom's friend was walking in those woods when she heard awful screams. When she described them to me I knew they must have been those of children. She saw a hut in the distance, this was where the screams were coming from. When she went closer a man came out waving a knife at her. She fled from the woods. After reading file one, the witches daughter, i realised that Rustin Parr fittted right into the discription she gave me. I hope this might help.

May 22, 2001

Hey Cade this is Joe. There is something weird in the woods up here in Michigan. Me and my friends have all seen it. It's big and hairy and fast sounds nuts doesn't it? Out of me and all my friends I seen t first. I'm not sure it is evil but I did find some evidence leading that way. It makes a weird laughing sound and some other noises. I also found a dead dog in the woods the dog was ripped up and hanging in the trees. My neighbors also found there horse dead hanging from a tree weird huh? I think the evil in Blair was there before Elly and I think she was either possessed by it or trying to stop it. And I think if we get enough people together we can stop it hopefully it can be stopped. I drove by old mills road 17 on my way to Virginia last summer. I did not know I was that close. I plan to get my friends together and come visit you. I don't think it can stop us all. We need lots of help from priests and wicken and other sprits that know magic. PS. your sight is real cool and keep up the good work

May 22, 2001

Hey Cade,

My Name is Kyle I live in Little Rock AR. Since I was little I have felt a connection with things dealing with the supernatural. I pride myself to be considered an expert in many different areas of freaky stuff I know you will just dismis me as a BW nut but feel free to ask me anything your having problems with in your investigations. I totaly admire you and what you do. I will be in the area of Bville this summer. If I stop by would you maybe take me to the woods for some pictures. I am not a Blair Witch Fanatic. I just have alot of knowladge in the area that you investigate.

May 22, 2001

Dear cade,

Im Rachael and I live in wakefield. when I was little my mum and dad took me, my brother and my cousin to tappy east creak forest. I was only.... 10 years old but I always had a strange feeling that someone was watching me.while my dad and mum set up camp, I took me and my brother to the creek. at the time I didn't know about the blair witch. my cousin got her camera out of her bag and started taking photos of the creek.she fell in and drowened..........

May 21, 2001

dear Cade it is me steven aka stop_light_steven I just wanted to tell you that I am sorry about your cousin and that Iknew by your books she ment alot to you she should not have been there if she knew the evil that was there and I wanted to know what the witches birthdate and death date was if she even died I extreamly hore u can help me i have bad dreams about the books and i know this seems stupid but I am extramly scared of the dark because of what might be in it.....if u know how I could get over this I would love to know how

May 21, 2001

hi Cade, me again. I just had an idea. Maybe Elly Kedward is just the sort of guardian of the forest, preventing the true evil forces from escaping. If you think about it, lots of people claim to have seen her and lived. Maybe because of the horrific death she died there she has to stay. Call me crazy but has anyone actually seen her doing all this evil stuff that's supposed to happen? And the old lady who floats around might not be Elly, and even if it is, does anyone actually have proof that she is evil? I mean hundreds of innocent women lost their lives in the witch trials. Elly could just have been another innocent victim. Thanks for your time, from Lauren

May 20, 2001

I live in Burrkettsville right near the Black Hill's forest And I had no idea about the the witch until someone told me recently. Anyway a very harry women appeared she kind of looked like the photo of Elly Kedwards in your legend section she was really scary I started to run but no matter what I did she kept up with me. I don't know how long it took for me to wake up but when I did I was lying right on the forest floor and somehow it was like she took me somewhere in my dreams and was chanting something I know u might think I'm a hypocrite. If you don't believe that's OK But I know what I saw and that hole is burned in my mind like a scar.

May 20, 2001

Dear Cade. I'm so so scared for my friends Mell & Billy. They have an aunt Sarra who lives in Burkitsville, and their parents let them go there for the weekend (Friday the 6th). Before they went they told me that they wanted to go in the woods I told them "COOL," but now I am really sorry for my words. When they were in Burkitsville, I was in touch with them, I called them Friday at 20:00 They told me that they are going into the woods the next day, even if aunt Sarra told them not to go! I called again the next day at 20:00 to see if they saw anything in woods, but aunt Sarra picked up the phone with tears. They didn't come back!!! And even now my best friend Mell and her younger brother Billy are missing. I lost them forever. Aunt Sarra told police that Mell & Billy went shopping at 11:30, but didnt come back. I knew that they really went in the woods....

May 19, 2001

Dear Cade, I was glancing through your site and in the 'testimony' I noticed you were asking for any information on Beth Krizer. I know Beth Krizer. At least, I used to know her. We went to the same university. She was a quiet, but strong-willed girl who no one knew very well. She just left one day and didn't come back. All I really knew about her was that she lived with her mom and sister, who I think was (is) called Katherine. I think Beth grew up in Minnesota but I don't know where she lives now. One last thing: Beth was interested in the occult. Don't know if that helps. Anyway, Cade, that's all I really know. I could probably squeeze out some more information if I put my mind to it so if I do I'll let you know.

May 19, 2001

Hi Cade it's Stuart again I have been doing a lot of thinking about the Blair witch and there's got to be away to stop her well why not try an exercisem where the house is,I am sorry to mention your cousin but I don't know what it is I get the felling that shes sill here she's trapped Cade and you and only you must and can free her I say you because you are looking so hard for answer and you have got to be prepared to give everything to free her if you cant give everything you have then there's no point in looking cause you wont find it,when I have the money I am going to the black forest and I will find a way cause believe it or not I am not afraid if Elly wants me she will take me and there's nothing that can stop it there's no point in running cause your on her territory and she decides who leaves and who stays and personally I would prefer to stay for many reasons witch I am I not going to go into right now. Cade you must go back to where the house was,apparently the house burned down before heather mike and josh went into the woods so why was the house there that night they heard josh screaming? the house why only show itself when it wants to the answer lie's in the house you just got to know where to look,I believe that when I go there I will find an answer not all the answers only you can find them all....I was looking through the bulletin board and all the things people write I recall there being one saying that Elly had a twin and that she was trying to find her,I think that Elly found her twin before she was banished what I think is that they tied her twin to the tree die and Elly is running around doing all these things with her magic,there are many ways to get Elly's attention well take the weigy board to the house or set fire to the ground that the house rested on. Well best of luck. bye Stuart

May 17, 2001

Hey Cade, it's Carys from England again. No new info on English legends and witches that may be relevant yet (I'll keep looking) but I think I've found a Wicca talisman that may prove useful to you. It's the Traveler's Amulet - to make this, you need two or three slender hazel twigs (choose ones full of sap so they are bendy) and a strip of silk in your favourite colour. Fashion the hazel twigs into the shape of an ancient Egyptian ankh (look this up on the internet if you're not sure what it looks like) and tie the twigs in that shape with the silk. Keep it small as you should wear it at all times. Then place it to your forehead, then hold it under a full moon to charge it with the moon's rays for added protection. Wear it and it ought to protect you from danger and evil spirits (well, it couldn't hurt to try, right?) Good luck again, and God bless.

May 16, 2001

Hi.... A few months ago I was bothered by somethink or someone who I assumed to be THE BLAIR WITCH..... I awoke one morning only to find the scars of a night filled with nightmares ..... The marks on arms and back were very familiar and I finally realised that they were the symbols of the sticks hanging from tree to tree in the movie and there were seven so could you please tell me if these were the bearings of the BLAIR WITCH because I am very concerned thank you.....

May 15, 2001

Hello Cade. I have found some clues about what the Blair Witch's symbol means. If you look closely, you can see rune symbols all put together to form one. This is her personal symbol, of course, and I looked up every symbol I could see that made up hers. All of my conclusions have lead to similarities to the files already found. One meant "justice," and I'm sure you know the relationship between the witch and this word. I left my material at home, so I can't give you many details, but I can tell you what I know. The Futhark culture, as you know, is related the the Blair Witch. In Futhark, every person in that culture has a symbol of thier own, a symbol made from the runes, to describe thier own meaning. The blair Witch's symbol is hers, and no one elses, and it holds certain clues about her psychological drive to do what she does. your helping hand, STORMY

May 15, 2001

I once had an encounter with the "Blair Witch". A couple of friends and I went camping in the Black Hills before I moved to Oklahoma. We was all sleeping in our tents when we heard children outside, we got up and looked but there was nothing there only we still heard them. And after that I had stayed up and I heard like a kackling far off in the distance.

May 14, 2001

Hi Cade,well I've been very interested in the legend of the Blair witch for a while,I'm on the net everyday trying to find out as much as possible Although,I'm not having a lot of luck I've been looking at your site for hours now ,and am very pleased with your information. I'm sorry to say that I don't have anything to offer you,but just wanted you to know that I'm very pleased with your work. I'm also very sorry bout your cousin,I wish you all the luck o your search. Keep up the good work.

P.S if I ever work up the courage to explore for myself and I have anything for you I promise to write. Thanks!

May 14, 2001

Hi Cade my name is Liz and I have a story to tell you. Well me and my sis went to the Black Hills to find out more and then the weirdest things started to happen. First I went to get water with my sis and when we returned I found a dead mouse with its insides outside in our tent. The second and last thing that happened is we found the burned ashes of the house and there was a old lady standing in the ashes. We got so scared that we started to run back to the town. We made it about 3/4 of the way when we saw the same parson and she said "what's the matter? I didn't mean to scare you." Then she gave us the evilest look, her eyes were bulging out of her head and then she smiled a cruel hideous smile and said "looking for this?" in her hand she held the exact replica of the necklace I have had all of my life, I have never taken it off. I reached for my necklace and discovered that it was missing and in its place a necklace made out of twine.

May 14, 2001

hey Cade,I'm Jeremy and you were the only one who I could turn to because no one else believes me. I was walking in a woods in TN mushroom hunting,when I heard a noise it sounded like someone was screaming so I followed it and I found a bundle of sticks and after reading your books I thought long and hard about running but I was lost to far for anybody to hear me so I started running but I got lost even more. Then the screaming stopped and I looked down and I was at the bundle of sticks I saw a few hours Before. And I tripped on a medium sized stone and hit my head I put my hand to where I hit at and when I looked at my hand there was blood on it. The next morning my dad found me and saw my head so we went home and washed the blood off but when we did there wasn't a scratch on me.

May 13, 2001

I think that Elly just wants to be left alone. She got her revenge on the kids who accused her of witchcraft, and now she is "stuck", if you will, in the place that she died. I think that whoever bothers her risks losing their life. But I'm not excusing Elly for what she did; I'm trying to give an explaination. Cade, I'm really sorry about Heather; maybe Elly thought that Heather and her friends got too close to the truth and got too close to Elly. Just be careful the next time you go into the Black Hills area. I don't mean this as a threat, but maybe, onetime, Elly will think that you're getting too close to her too. I don't want to sound like a critic; I fully believe in the Blair Witch. Maybe she needs to rest in peace. If her mystery was ment to be solved, then so be it. Good luck and BE CAREFUL!!!! ~Stephanie~

May 13, 2001

Hi!! our names are LAURA and FIONA. We are french. Have you ever think that Elly KEDWARD could be a wizardess who knew with the magic how to brush the floor, as flying just above the floor. And for the children who had been kidnapped by the blair witch who sayd that they had seen a woman who brush above the floor, it could be that this woman had hypnotized them to say that.

May 13, 2001

Cade, Hey. I just had to tell you something. It was really weird (or at least I think it was). This morning after my alarm was off, I shut it off and tried to go to bed for 5 more mins. But then I had this really weird feeling all over me like the Blair Witch sign was going to get all over my body or trap me. I know you might not believe me, which is totally understandable if you don't. But it was really weird so then I just woke up. Strange huh? Could this be a sign of her haunting me? I don't know. But what I do know is I do want to investigate on my own in the woods and spend the night for a week. Getting information. Talk to you later.

May 12, 2001

Hey Cade, Guess what? There's a couple of things that I forgot to tell you in my last two letters: 1. You know those rock formations that Heather and the guys found outside their tent one morning? I think I know what those and the stickmen mean! If you recall, the three rock piles outside the tent were not the only ones found. there were seven other piles at the beginning of the movie. That's right seven!! That seems to be a key number in this mystery. Remember Rustin Parr killed seven children from town. These children became known as the Burkittsville 7. Seven rocks on the ground for seven children, and an eighth in the tree which I assume is for Kyle Brody, the sole survivor of the massacre. So when the three new piles appeared outside the tent, Heather and the guys were screwed, they were now marked for death. Same thing for Josh when he found the "blue jelly sh**", all over his stuff. He was marked for his deadly service to the Blair Witch. Could the blue stuff have been ectoplasm left behind by one of the spirits the night before? I think it might just have been. As for the stickmen, I heard that they were supposed to be some kind of hanging portals for spirits to pass through. The trees' roots act as tunnels to the underworld, while the branches act as bridges to and from each stickman portal. apparently, when Heather removed one of the stickmen, this is what Josh was referring to when he was sticking, (get it, sticking?), the camera in Heather's face and saying that she took one of the trinkets that the witch had left them,she had trapped one of the spirits in our world and it wasn't to happy. I also forgot to mention the last two already reveiled Secrets of Esrever: 1. the creepy looking face in the window, and 2. the unsettling image in the poster behind Tristan in one of her scenes. If you want my honest opinion, I think that it's actually the witch's curse at work here rather than the witch herself. By the way my name is Jonathan and I look forward to reading "The Death Card".

May 11, 2001

Evil and good were separated far from each other in the 1600s, on the outset of the witch trials in colonial America. To really understand the fine line between evil and light witches one has to look to the religion of Santaria where the religion and witchcraft exist on an equal plane. Santaria is good, Palo Mayombe is evil, using the forces of dark. Unfortunately, unbeknownst to many Wiccans, their religion is not pure and unbroken. In fact, it is a collection of ancient practices brought together by Alister Crowley, responsible for modern Wicca. In the time of Elly Kellard, there were in fact, many Lucifer worshipers, Satan is actually a lesser demon. In the 16th century, they began to go into hiding and were eventually sought out and killed. They did not practice their art for the collective reasons that Wiccans practice theirs. They practiced out of weekness, they needed to exert power over others to feel powerful, the same reasons the Israelites kept turning to Baal, the model for Baphmoet, the horned god. They needed power and did not have faith. Very possibly, Elly was a member of the last witches in America who were not Pagans but practicioners of the black arts. Kris from Philly

May 11, 2001

Hi Cade my name is Ryan. I sent you a message last night but i couldn't finish it. Anyway last year in the summer holidays my Mum, Dad, Sister and me went to Burkittsville for 3 weeks ( i'm from England ) to go and visit my dads mums friend. When we were there me and my dad had a look in the black rock state woods. We visited the Rustin Parr foundation and i was dissapointed i thought the house would actually be there. I told my dad to wait at the foundation while i went into the basement to see if there was anything there. When i was down there i found a Twana lying on the ground. My dad told me to throw it away but i kept it. I have still got it. Also my dad said he heard a rustling and he looked around and no one was there. I am so into the Blair Witch and i am also trying to find out who she really is and what she wants. I know what hecaitomix is and what it can do. Do you think Heather is trapped in hecaitomix.

May 9, 2001

hey I'm sure you already know this but when I was reading through your files I came a cross the name eileen treacle. The name sounded familiar but I couldn't put my finger on it. I turned away from my computer and looked back a strange grave was on my screen for a mere second. It went away and I sat down and watched blair witch 2: book of shadows. The part of the movie when they pick up Kim at the cemetery she is laying on a grave marked treacle as the scene goes on the name changes to further. I don't get what it means

May 9, 2001

Hey Cade! This is Melissa from New Jersey. I'm one of the many people who have not visited Black Hills , but I hope to over the summer. I've read all of the cases you've published and they really seem to be a big help with the Blair Witch case, and what I can't understand is why these stories all can't seem to spell out one BIG answer and maybe it won't or maybe it already has...anyway I hope someone will find out about the Blair Witches' secrets and put it to rest. This might sound crazy, but somehow I've grown obesessed with this mystery. I wish you best of luck cade meril, may you solve the mystery and finally put it to rest..

May 9, 2001

Cade, it's the boy who sent you information about Harper Kemp's get well card and Alma Harpers mom. My name is Matt and I am interested in the case. I am not emailing you from my home computer but my grandma's. I sent you this email to say that if you can you should check the house a little more that the children were killed in. maybe there's some evidence still waiting to be discovered. I think you should get back in touch with Justin. You should go back to the clearing that Justin saw the bones and blood and search as hard as you can.

May 8, 2001

Hi Cade my name is Joe. Me and my family in the summer holidays last year stayed in Burkittsville for 2 weeks. We went through the woods and saw some landmarks such as the Rustin Parr foundation and Coffin Rock. When we were at Coffin Rock my mum said she felt strange and my sister also felt ill i mean really ill we had to take her to hospital. Sorry to mention Heather but in Heathers video why was the house still there.

May 8, 2001

Hi,my name is Desarae. I live in Louisiana and have never visited the Black Hills. But I have been doing some research.My research caused me to believe something,could the Blair Witch travel to places not close to the Black Hills. I read this book and it said that witches lived for centuries sometimes. Well if Elly Kedward is living still,she could travel like a human being?Right? I have read most of the letters and stuff from different books, they all have one thing in common,most believe the kids in the woods are still alive. Could this be true?? I hope to find out soon.

May 6, 2001

Hey Cade whats up it's Raven, I have read two of your books which are The Withche's Daughter and the Drowning Ghost your books I have visited your website plenty of times to convince me that the Legend of the Blair Witch is true and I could never forget it. I get into your books so much that I even think I am in the stories. My favorite Book of the two books I have already read The Drowning Ghost is my favorite because I got into that book the most and I thought what happened to Mrs. Zadek was plain just cruel that would hurt if you had your fingernails ripped off of your fingers one by one until they were all gone.

May 5, 2001

Hi Cade . My names Kelly and I live in England and have heard about the Blair Witch legend . But when my I read about the drowning ghost , it reminded me about something my friend told me. She went near the lake . Last night she e-mailed me to tell me that when she went home from the picnic near the lake, she felt like someone was following her . Since then her house has been broken into and she has found the blait witch symbol ingraved on top of her chest of drawers . She thinks its just a coincidence , but I'm not sure . Now I'm scared about when I visit her this summer . I'm sure somethings going to happen . I'll keep you updated .

May 5, 2001

Hello, Cade. I guess it would be strange that someone from Malaysia is posting a message to you, but your work has really impressed me. My name is Parthiban and I am a author of fiction. A few years back, I use to do my own research on the occult as well. I was, at that time, an avid follower of such things. However, I got caught up in my own career and such things. Recently, I managed to get hold of Coffin Rock (the game) and your books as well. I've been hooked ever since. I would like to back on Dharla's theory on the range of the Witch's roaming. Suppose that Kedward is the witch. Wouldn't it be possible that she is only trying to find the ones who caused her death. Since those people are already dead for so long, it could be possible that the the witch is looking for their predecessors and taking it out on them instead. Is there a possibility that all her victims are somehow related to people like Robin and the five men at Coffin Rock? Maybe she is looking for these people all over the country. She might be so deranged that she wants to erase everyone even remotely involved with her death. Is such a theory possible? if it is, i think you might have a good lead on solving the case.

May 4, 2001

hello my name is Matt and I live in Maryland do believe in the Vlair witch and I saw it. One day while I was on my computer I looked out of the window and saw a very hairy woman staring at me. She was smiling and moving her finger in the way to follow. Then she pointed at the road leading to the black hills. I did not move. Neither did she. All day she stood there doing the same motions. That night when I went to bed I saw her on the same level as my window doing the motions. She scary part was my room is on the second floor. Now late at night I see here out side my window. She started appearing the day the first movie came out. One time I think she said a word. I couldn't make it out but I think she said wolf.

May 4, 2001

dear Cade I do believe the blair witch exists.Because once two of my uncles lived with us and they shared rooms. they had a bunck bed so they couldnt see eachother.So one of my uncles went to the bathroom and sudenly my uncle who was in bed started hearing noises.The sounds came from the kitchen and they sounded like my brother was running in his walking car.This was strange because my brother was about ten months and plus it was about 1 in the morning.Than one of my uncles said to the other,''why are you plaing with the baby's walking car'' and my uncle said he wasant plaing with it.my mom said it might of been witches becaus when ever you leave a baby toy that a baby is using the witches will play with the toy.By the way I think my house is hounted because lately we have been hearing strange noises. Well later.

May 4, 2001

Hey Cade, I just finished reading the death card and it was so intense. Was the Blair Witch really responsible for the death of Jon Prellar?

My ex-best friend went to the black hills territory last summer I tried to call him but his mom said he was gone "exploring the area" well I later found out it was in the black hills where Heather's(sorry to bring it up) stuff was found well about a week later I go get the mail and there is a letter for me I open it up and read it and I drop to my knees. It says he was found tried to a tree and beat to death the docter said an unknown force seemed to beat him from inside. Could this be the works of elly kedward?

Dear cade, I know a lot about the blair witch and I have done extensive research on just about all the subjects you have covered in your many books. I just wanted to tell you that the other day my friend and I were exploring around the black hills and we stumbled upon small piece of cloth that looked worn and blood stained. When we picked it up we noticed that it was still wet with blood. We put it in a bag and kept on walking then we found more cloth that looked exactly like the other one. My friend and I have found many pieces of cloth and in the last one we found some bones they look like ribs. We would just like to know if you have any information on any other things like this and what it could be connected to. ---ANNA

I think that the Blair Witch is very interested in twins and children who have lots of people to take revenge on, or children that are "fighters". She will either make them her daughter or take them as her own. Like in "The Witch's Daughter" Louise Irwin had tons of people to take revenge on, and so she was made the daughter of the witch. And in The Dark Room, Laura Morely was a twin and she was taken as the witch's own because she was a "fighter." Also, Rustin and Dale Parr were twins and Rustin was the evil one, and he was the one the blair witch met and chose not to kill. The same with Max and Evan. I also read a theory that was written A LOOONG time ago, like in the 1700's. It explained that Elly Kedward was a twin and she was willing to do anything to get her twin back, she was put under the "Shadow Curse" (<--- something like that) and the Elly was killing to get to her twin. And it was the Evil One himself that put her to it. That theory was written by another witch who did not live in Burkittsville. She was hung in 1783, in Salem. She was part of the Salem Witch Trials. You could probably get alot of info, if you looked in on the Salem Witch Trials.
