This has all the answers to the Blair Witch

Hi. This was one of the most interesting and by far the best book from the Blair Witch Files,(besides The Prisoner which was the scariest). To me it had all the answers to why and how the Blair Witch got started. In the book,Elly Kedward tells her life story,you get to read the story through her eyes,from when she was just a kid to when she was setup,and band from Blair town , how she felt, who she met along the way, how and why she came to be evil,(Elly Kedward was not even her real name).And it had an unexpected,great,ending.This book was not really scary as some of the others from the files ,but it was so interesting that it did not matter. So if you want to know about the Blair Whitch,from her own words then get this book. You wont be disappointed!

One of the better books from the series.

It's been six years since Cade Merrill's cousin, Heather, disappeared in the Black Hills Forest. Cade has spent all this time searching for answers. His research on the Blair Witch has ruled his life. He is walking the line between dedication to finding his cousin, and total obsession. When Cade receives a mysterious email from a psychic who claims to be able to channel the Blair Witch, he's not sure what to believe. The psychic, who goes by the name of Chris, promises him all the answers he's been looking for, but may just be a fraud. Chris sends Cade three tapes, supposedly of the Blair Witch telling her story. The story told is one of a young girl named Annabeth, growing up in a small English village in the eighteenth century. Forced to burn at the stake her own mother, accused of witchcraft, in order to prove her innocence, Anna is still blamed for the village's misfortunes. Sent off to America, she takes the name Elly Kedward and settles in the town of Blair, bound by her promise to her mother for revenge, a promise that will bring her face to face with her dark and evil destiny. Although several of the books in this series have been disappointing, I thought this was one of the better ones. I am sorry to see it is the last.
