The Blair Witch [True Story]
Here I leave the true story of the Blair Witch from where it originated until the negotiations to try to discover what happened and what was the origin of the "witch." You can believe it as there are no parts that are difficult to believe but you will say.
THE LEGEND OF THE WITCH OF BLAIR
CHAPTER I
THE KNOWN FACTS
In February 1785, in the old village of Blair (now Burkittsville), which was in north central Maryland, two hours away from Washington DC, an elderly woman named Elly Kedward misled several children in the city to be To his house and brought them blood. When the children told their parents and showed their injuries, the citizens reacted with brutal quickness. After accusing her of witchcraft, in accordance with local laws, she was expelled from the village.
Kedward was tied to a wheelbarrow and pushed into the woods, where she was left to die in the middle of a particularly hard winter. Assuming that Elly had died of cold, Blair's people returned to apparent calm. But this calm was only an omen of other storms.
In November of 1786, the first night that it snowed, the daughter of the magistrate of the city mysteriously disappeared. A week later, Kedward's chief accuser also disappeared. By the end of the winter, almost half of the city's children had disappeared without a trace, including all the accusers.
Fearing a curse, the citizens fled in terror as time improved ...

After four hours of walking, they arrive at their small hut, discovering the bodies of the seven children in seven small tombs behind the house. When exhuming the corpses signs of violence are observed, some are even gutted, and all appear to have been part of a diabolical ritual.

THE TRUE STORY

Of the Blair Witch.
Dear Professor Velmont: What does the Elron Group know about the film called the Blair Witch Project? Is it based on real facts or is it pure fiction?
Veronica T.
ANSWER
Dear Veronica: We have asked our spiritual guides about this film and also about the authenticity of the legend on which it is based. As it happens many times, the reality surpasses the fiction.
Then I transcribe you part of the session, dated 10/24/03, where the subject was discussed.
Interlocutor:. Here I have a rather interesting subject to elucidate. "In February 1785, in the village of Blair, several children accused an elderly woman, Elly Kedward, of persuading them to go home and there was blood drawn. Guilty in a trial for witchcraft and spiritism, this old woman is banished from the village and abandoned in a wooded area during one of the harshest winters of the time. "As it was never seen again by anyone was declared officially dead. In the months that followed, many people, especially children, began to disappear, including those who had accused her, and they never reappeared, and a film entitled "The Blair Witch Project" was made.
Ron Hubbard: The movie is totally fictional.
Interlocutor: I have no doubt that it is totally fictitious, but what was behind those disappearances?
Ron Hubbard: This woman you mentioned was a very but very old person, but with a tremendous mediumnímicas endowments, and through them teleptica contacted with extraterrestrials, casually of Vega.
Interlocutor: Are we talking about the Ha, the same alien race that got in touch with Moses?
Ron Hubbard: Yes, exactly the same.
Interlocutor: Did they abduct that woman?
Ron Hubbard: No, they did not abduct her. They needed to work with children's blood to do certain laboratory tests and used it as a "deliverer". She attracted the children to her house with deceptions and there the extraterrestrials drew blood.
Interlocutor: Did she volunteer for that?
Ron Hubbard: Yes, because they had promised to reward her with many things, including rejuvenating her. Eventually things did not work out. Here it must be made clear that there is no strange and incomprehensible mystery. The vegans protected this woman for a time, and when she stopped being useful to them, they simply got rid of her.
Interlocutor: And the disappearance of the boys?
Ron Hubbard: They were abducted by these same aliens.
Interlocutor: I guess to experiment with them.
Ron Hubbard: That's right.
Interlocutor: And I suppose also that they hid their presence in Blair making people believe that behind these disappearances was this woman.
Ron Hubbard: Correct, and the proof is that the first abductors were the children who accused her. That is why the parents thought that this woman had kidnapped them in complicity with other people.
Interlocutor: Concretely, then, all these facts have nothing to do with witchcraft or spirits of Error or anything like that.
Ron Hubbard: That's right. There is no mystery.
Interlocutor: Anything else to add on this matter?
Ron Hubbard: No, because going into more detail would be a waste of time.
Interlocutor: Then I close the subject.
So far came the dialogues, which definitively clarify the enigma that surrounded the people of Blair.
Thank you!!
