    • Trivia
      This mockumentary was produced for airing on The Sci-Fi Channel as a promotional prelude to the release of The Blair Witch Project (1999). It was subsequently given a separate home video release. It was also included as a bonus feature on the special edition of "The Blair Witch Project" DVD.
    • Goofs
      (at around 19 mins) In the history of the township of Blair, it is related that surveyors found the abandoned village of Blair in 1825 while surveying the area for a railroad. Although small railroads were built in 1826, the first commercial railroad was not built in the USA until 1828.
    • Quotes

      [first lines]

      Narrator: In 1785, several children in the township of Blair, Maryland, accused Elly Kedward of witchcraft. She was found guilty and banished in the middle of winter. It was assumed she died from exposure. The following year, all of her accusers and half the town's children had vanished. Fearing a curse, the entire township fled as soon as the weather broke and vowed never to utter the name Elly Kedward again.

    Can't disagree with this being believable (almost)
    I only saw the film that this mockumentary is about today (see the comments in the comments page of the actual film).

    I believe I watched this on our Canadian equivalent of the Sci Fi channel, called Space... in the summer. I was tired that day so I fell asleep during some of it.

    At that point in the hype of the film, I was trying to find out if it was indeed fact or fiction, and I wasn't certain yet, so it did disturb me somewhat while I watched it, thinking, my God, what if this was real? I quickly learned after the credits rolled that there was no disclaimer to say that it was fact or fiction.

    The only thing I had to comfort me is that I don't live anywhere near there, so it couldn't happen to me. Although... we do have lots of woods here so it did bother me slightly.

    Later, I learned that the whole movie and mockumentary was untrue, so it set my mind at ease.

    Once I found out there was minimal gore, I decided I might give it a shot when it came out on VHS, but only during the day on a smaller screen, so as to lose that "thrust into it/real feeling"... though I chickened out the first time when I went to rent the last one at Blockbuster... I despise horror films... but someone bought it and decided to show it to some friends and I, so I thought, what the hell. (See my comments in the comments section of the film for more.)

    I can't tell you in which order to watch the film and this. You have to decide for yourself. Maybe you should see this first for a background story.

    After watching the film, I am still left with questions. I guess I wasn't paying as much attention to this, or the beginning of the film, as I should have.

    However I wouldn't recommend finding out exactly how either this or the film was made or it could somewhat spoil it for you.

    Just be glad that it isn't true and watch these, and enjoy them... if you can.
