Parr's House = Rustin Parr's House: This is the site where, according to legend, Rustin Parr killed seven children in the basement of his home. The house is in ruins now-so why did Laura Morley's camera produce photographs of the entire house?
 
 

Sheppards Glen = This is it-the spot in Tappy East Creek where Eileen Treacle mysteriously drowned in 1825. Until my investigation into this portion of the Blair Witch legend, it had been a mystery to me where the drowning incident had taken place.
 
 

Northwest of Nanticoke Trail = Although they didn't know it at the time, Cecilia Northrup and her group were camped very near here-just a few feet away-during the bitterly cold spring of 1999. This is where they encountered the Drowning Ghost
 
 

Coffin Rock =  As Heather explains in this videotape, this was the site of the grizzly murder of a search party of men during the 1800s. From Cecilia Northrup's description, this is also most likely the spot where she saw a dead body. Like the bodies of the men in the search party, the corpse Cecilia saw had been brutally disemboweled. And there's another similarity-the body Cecilia came across mysteriously disappeared moments later.

Was the corpse really there, or was it a product of Cecilia's panicked, cold, and malnourished mind?
 
 

Car = This is where Joshua Leonard's car was found in 1994. Aside from Heather's film, it's one of the only pieces of evidence that authorities found in their investigation of Heather's disappearance
 
 

Black Rock Road = Black Rock Road is the main access route between the Black Hills Forest and the town of Burkittsville
 
 

Tappy East Creek = Tappy East Creek: A young girl, Eileen Treacle, drowned in this creek, which is extremely shallow. Witnesses claimed to see a hand come from the creek to pull the girl in, leading many to suspect that the Blair Witch was involved in the girl's drowning. This creek is one of the forest's largest landmarks. It appears in my cousin Heather's video footage many times.
