The Blair Witch Project was a movie that consisted of three explorers going to find a urban myth, I guess, in the form of a witch that roamed the forest.  Most of know how that turned out…not very well.  I was actually scared somewhat by the movie, even though I knew it wasn’t true – the narrative was pretty effective! I am a huge fan of the show “Fact or Faked” and I glean a lot of the my information about local legends from that and Weird NJ.  I truly enjoy reading about the weird stuff that happens just beyond our field of vision.
