The Blair Witch and Mind Control

Not a lot of evidence has been brought forward at all. That's because a lot of it is being covered up.

When I went to Burkittsville, I found ample evidence of weirdness.

For example, until 1999 it was accepted history that eleven witnesses saw a white hand reach up from the water and drown Eileen Treacle in Tappy East Creek during the summer of 1825. We're now told that this is a "myth" created by the directors, and yet there is a gravestone for the same Eileen Treacle in Burkittsville's Union Cemetery!

This was what I believed until I really started making phone calls and knocking on doors.

A lot of this is in my notes, but let's just say that I don't entirely buy that the people now claiming to be Heather, Josh, and Mike really are Heather, Josh, and Mike.

I spoke to "Heather Donahue" and "Mike Williams". "Joshua Leonard" is a bit difficult to access.

I'll give you the run-down:

1. All three had movie careers that exploded after the film. Before the film, there was virtually no trace of them.

2. Heather virtually admitted to me on the phone (after many conversations) that her real name wasn't "Heather Donahue" and that "you're on the right track" after I basically implied a giant conspiracy behind the whole thing.

3. Williams was always very defensive when I talked to him, and said in almost these exact words: "I'm an actor. If anyone ends up going down because of this, it's Ed, Dan, or the people at Haxan." This was in response to me presenting a lot of my research to him. So, he knows that people would "go down" (legally) if the truth were known.

I think that after the real footage was shot (1993), three young actor-hopefuls were hired by Haxan to change their names and impersonate the missing filmmakers in "public events" after the release of the movie. This would effectively kill all speculation that the film was real.

Ever read Harvey and Lee by John Armstrong? Intelligence agencies have a long history of using 'doubles' for covert purposes, as does Hollywood (stunt-doubles).

The conspiracy that I suggest behind the Blair Witch series would be one between elements of Hollywood and the military-intelligence apparatus. Thus, the idea that they would not consider using doubles in this case is ridiculous. This is their standard operating procedure.

What about this 10 year reunion of the cast and crew

I'm looking everywhere for any confirmation of this in the media, but I'm finding that a lot has been air-brushed out of history in this case. They've erased all traces of the Rustin Parr case, despite the fact that documentaries were made about it decades before the Blair Witch Project was released.

In 1999, you could find a lot of this stuff out there, which was why a lot of people believed it was real. Now, they've seemingly erased all of that information and material from existence. It is downright insane.

I think, in effect, this mind control experiment may have had a broader purpose: to demonstrate how easy it is to completely rewrite history. Events such as the Parr murders and the drowning of Eileen Treacle were simply dismissed as part of a 1999 movie hoax after being accepted history for years.

With the renewed interest on GLP, I will try hard to find my notes from the Burkittsville trip. A lot of weirdness transpired there.

Reading your feelings and theories about the three actors, wow.

Chills down my spine.

This is certainly a topic I am continued to be interested in, please post more!

BOOOOOOOOOO!!! ha,ha gotcha!!!

this thread is totally intriguing! waiting for more posts from OP, maybe his Burkittsville notes?

Really? Have you been or have any evidence to support this?

My bad didnt see the 2nd page

This thread is interesting enough as it is without any 'hard' evidence of the OP's trip to Maryland or his interviews with the people there.

Okay then disregard my last post. :)

Zero evidence....Im not ripping OP but there are so many legends where I live(Louisiana) its not even funny. There was no movie so they must be fake. Now with the Mothman Prophecies there is some interesting discussion. However i would like to be proven wrong

Good shit OP. For some reason I feel truth to the story, what a dark world we live in.

5 stars OP - I've only seen the first movie, but I was thinking about the reality TV fad.

And then I thought of Saw. Now I never watched those Saw movies, cuz damn, who in the hell wants to watch torture porn - not I

But maybe you are correct.

I kept thinking as I read your post about what is sold to us as "reality TV" which is totally scripted, but what if some of the darkest flicks - Blair Witch, Saw and others I'm not familiar with are actually the reality?

OH MY

Thanks for giving me something interesting to read and ponder.

I knew two folks that watched this in the theater - both were military and overly freaked out (imo) over a movie.

In the second movie, the police ARE pursuing the case. The police are the ones who created the very professional files on each person on the tour that Kim finds in tour guide's desk. The police aren't believing their suspects' cries of, "somebody fucked with that tape". But, why would they? They have murdered people and video tapes of the suspects committing the murder.

Anyway, to OP's thesis...

I thought of the mind control angle, too. I don't know that the movie is about that per se, but there are some themes in common with what happens in the movie.

Something OP missed: the owl. Owls are a thing in hypnotism or mind control. The eyes watching, I think. Also, perhaps inserted to cover up whatever a person really saw. There's definitely an owl in the second movie. I can't recall about the first.

Someone told me that a former Navy Seal was hired to do things at night to distress the three actors. So, when you see them stumble out and find stuff in the trees, that is as big as surprise to them as us. This would wear down the actors and make them very suggestible. So, this may have been what Mike meant... he was not the person who chose to make the movie in that way. So, if anyone had some kind of trauma from it, is not his fault.

i had a crush on that goth girl kim diamond.

she's the yumyum!!!!

there is a owl in the fourth kind movie. and when it appears the patients flip out.
