The Blair Witch Project left the audience wondering what really happened to the three students who got lost in the woods researching the legend of the Blair Witch, and one detail from the official website, along with everything the students went through, makes way for a theory that involves time travel.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY The Blair Witch Project follows Heather, Mike, and Josh, three filmmaking students who set out to make a documentary about the mythical Blair Witch, and for that, they travel to Burkittsville, Maryland.
One version of the theory goes into detail about how time was altered in the woods while Heather, Josh, and Mike were there, suggesting that during the first night, there was a time shift and they were taken back to the 1940s. According to the timeline of events on the official Blair Witch Project website, between November 1940 and May 1941, seven kids were abducted from the area surrounding Burkittsville, and on May 25, 1941, a hermit called Rustin Parr claimed that he was “finally finished”.
The Blair Witch Project’s Fictional Legend Explained In addition to the above-mentioned timeline of events, the production team behind The Blair Witch Project also came up with a full legend about their fictional Blair Witch. According to it, it all started in 1785, when Blair resident Elly Kedward was accused of witchcraft by several children and found guilty.
Who Was The Killer In The Blair Witch Project? The time travel theory can give an answer to the big question of who was the killer in The Blair Witch Project, but if Parr killed Heather, Josh, and Mike as the theory suggests, their bodies would have been found decades ago, yet they were supposedly never recovered.
