In the 1700s, the townsfolk accused a woman named Elly Kedward of witchcraft, and she was apprehended and bound to a tree and died of exposure. Her spirit lived on an a curse remained over the area for centuries to come, with the presence of so-called "Blair Witch" haunting the woods of the Black Hills Forest. In 1940, Rustin Parr, supposedly taking orders from the Blair Witch, kidnapped and brutally murdered seven children. He confessed to his crimes and was sentenced to death by hanging in 1941. Three amateur documentarians named Heather, Josh, and Mike disappeared in the Black Hills Forest in 1999 while investigating the legends of the Blair Witch.

All of them lost their lives over the course of two nights.
