welcome everyone I'm in burkettville
0:23
Maryland formerly Blair and I'm at the
0:26
filming locations from The Blair Witch
0:29
Project
0:30
join me shall
0:56
you this is burkettville formerly
0:56
Blair it is a small quiet Maryland
1:00
Town you'll notice the sign looks a lot
1:03
different that's because when the movie
1:05
came out fans of the movie would come
1:06
out here and they stole the original
1:08
signs so they've changed it now it looks
1:10
like
1:19
that this is a cemetery from the one of
1:19
the opening shots in the
1:21
movie where they were doing the dialogue
1:24
right over in this area here you can see
1:26
that road in the background there so
1:29
this this is the Blair's witch
1:31
Cemetery present
2:01
day
2:01
right down here is the tiny anime
2:04
grave you can see it in this shot here
2:07
look how small it is here's where the
2:10
Slate would have been when they were
2:11
trying to do the very first shot and he
2:13
said kiss the
2:15
Slate should we all like cut our fingers
2:17
open and bleed on it little blood
2:20
letting on the Slate no we'll save that
2:21
for later kiss it and then the one guy
2:24
over here bit the Slate right there put
2:27
a Chow Down on the Slate
2:30
for SL kiss luck oh he licked it God
2:34
bless him that's supposed to eat it we
2:35
need that for the rest of the shoot you
2:37
can tell because of this Tombstone
2:50
there much like a small quiet Town
2:50
anywhere no more than 20 families laid
2:52
their Roots here over 200 years ago many
2:56
of whom remain either on this hill or in
2:59
the Town
3:00
below once they left the cemetery they
3:03
would have drove straight down that way
3:04
you could see those two railings and
3:06
they were driving that way and they said
3:07
we got the first shot of the movie they
3:09
were pretty excited little did they know
3:11
that they were going to meet up with the
3:13
Blair Witch there's something moving
3:14
over there in the
3:15
corn ye well we have shot the first
3:19
scene the cemetery scene the opening is
3:29
shot smells like evil come with me over
3:29
there this way see if this looks
3:36
familiar looks like all this has been
3:36
redone but that pole there that Pole
3:39
right there is exactly the same in this
3:41
shot she's holding the child telling the
3:43
story two men were out hunting uhhuh and
3:45
they were camped near the cabin or
3:48
something that she's supposed to
3:49
Haun and they disappeared off the face
3:52
of the Earth really okay it's all right
3:54
ingred I'm just telling a scary story
3:55
but it's not
3:57
true
3:58
awesome
4:27
all my life really I've believed in
4:27
witches and ghosts and all that stuff do
4:30
you believe that there are some in this
4:31
area oh definitely so right over here is
4:34
where the guy told the story of the
4:36
seven people who were killed finally one
4:38
day old Mr Park come down into the
4:40
market and said I'm finally finished and
4:43
what did he mean by that well I guess
4:45
nobody know it first on the back side of
4:47
that tree you can see part of the house
4:50
also see those buildings down the
4:52
road so right here and it just was a a
4:55
terrible thing just tore the whole
4:57
Community up here's a little added bonus
5:03
llamas you guys know anything about the
5:03
Blair
5:05
Witch you heard of The Blair Witch what
5:07
do you know about the Blair
5:09
Witch nothing they don't know anything
5:13
right over here this might look familiar
5:15
this is another spot where they walked
5:17
in the sign on the door said
5:23
19800 the guy would have walked straight
5:23
through there the ghost would have been
5:25
right there camera would have panned
5:28
this
5:38
ghosts yeah the tree there is torn down
5:38
it would have been all the way
5:40
up she would have been sitting right
5:42
theree time is a creepy enough
5:45
phenomenon I I don't want to go cheesy I
5:48
want to really avoid any cheese I want
5:50
to present this in as straightforward a
5:52
way as possible and I think the legend
5:54
is unsettling
6:04
this is the hotel that they would have
6:04
stayed in in one of these rooms here
6:06
right through these windows okay we're
6:07
going to do um an equipment check but
6:09
I'm going to call my mom okay I've got a
6:11
bag of UTS and a beer and we don't
6:12
really need to get that so I guess
6:15
you're covered then is where they would
6:17
have got drunk and prepared for their
6:18
mission into the
6:20
woods okay that's good that's good
6:24
that's good thank
6:26
you here I go drink
6:45
abandoned hey how are you I'm
6:45
hurting some serious Woods we're head
6:47
into you
6:50
excited got
6:57
it they would have drove straight down
6:57
this way right towards coffin Rock off
6:59
in the woods you can see this little
7:30
Shack
7:30
they would have got their bags and their
7:32
things all together loaded up they would
7:34
had their vehicle parked right over
7:36
there
7:48
backpack right here is where the
7:48
fishermen were fishing they casting
7:50
their lines out on this little river
7:52
right out of the water right out of the
7:54
water up the side of the tree and it
7:56
disappeared over them now you're full of
7:58
it there was an older guy over here that
8:00
she asked permission if she could film
8:02
in fact the way you can tell not only by
8:04
the Rocks but over here you Pan the
8:06
camera you can see that bridge right
8:08
there what did you say Sir first of all
8:11
can I have your permission to put your
8:13
image on video for the purposes of a
8:14
documentary entitled The Blair wi
8:16
project we're going to continue on see
8:18
if we can find cofin
8:30
rock lots of spiders out in this neck of
8:30
the
8:37
woods I think we have discovered coffin
8:37
Rock it's right over there across the
8:40
Waterway there's the cave and coffin
8:42
Rock see if we can get over to
8:50
it see if we can cross over that tree
8:50
down
8:56
there you want to go back and forth you
8:56
could do it that way I didn't want to do
8:57
this at all but okay well let's do we
8:59
yeah we'll do it back and
9:01
forth oh what' you drop I didn't
9:11
drop wallet chain stuck dang money's
9:11
holding me
9:13
back all right here we
9:21
Goan here let me just toss this to you
9:22
yeah here back throw go jum up there a
9:24
little bit
9:25
more farther up i' rather hit the ground
9:27
okay cool
9:39
so we made it up the coffin rock pretty
9:39
secluded out here it was very difficult
9:41
very difficult to get across this
9:42
Waterway we had to climb across that
9:44
tree which I think that might be the
9:45
tree they use who knows there it is
9:53
see that's the cave that she read the
9:53
intro about the Blair Witch on top of
9:56
the rock formation the story of the
9:57
torture inflicted upon these Brave five
10:00
men unfolded upon return vultures were
10:03
seen at the Rock but upon inspection the
10:06
bodies had been removed by Persons
10:08
Unknown the search body claimed that the
10:10
stench of death was still thick and
10:12
whomever had taken the bodies had done
10:13
so in a matter of hours look at this
10:15
someone's actually
10:17
got some sticks back there making a
10:19
cross that happened here at coffin
10:24
Rock where's that witch the player witch
10:29
is that
10:33
her no coffin
10:54
Rock So out here in this wooded area is
10:54
supposedly where the Blair Witch house
10:57
is where the final scene from The Blair
11:00
Witch was
11:17
filmed definitely a lot of rubble here
11:17
left could have been right here it's
11:19
really hard to
11:26
tell somewhere in this wooded area no
11:26
way of really knowing though I guess the
11:28
Blair Witch wins The Blair Witch
11:32
wins The Blair Witch
