BLAIR WITCH

In February 1785, in the old village of Blair (currently Burkittsville), that was in the central North of Maryland, two hours away from Washington DC, an elderly woman called Elly Kedward lured several children from the city to go to his house and brought them blood. When the children told it to her parents and taught them the wounds, citizens reacted with brutal speed. After accusing her of witchcraft, based on local laws, were driven out of the village.

Kedward was tied to a truck and it pushed it to the forests, where abandoned it to death in the midst of a particularly hard winter. Giving by fact that Elly had died of cold, the people of Blair returned to an apparent calm. But this only calm was harbinger of other storms.

In November 1786, the first night that it snowed, the daughter of the magistrate of the city mysteriously disappeared. A week later, the main accuser of Kedward also disappeared. By the end of the winter, almost half of the children of the city disappeared without a trace, including all of the accusers.
