<P> The next day, outside her tent, Heather discovers a bundle of sticks tied with a piece of fabric from Josh's shirt . As she searches through it, she finds blood - soaked scraps of Josh's shirt as well as teeth, hair and what appears to be a piece of his tongue . Although distraught by the discovery, she chooses not to tell Mike . That night, Heather records herself apologizing to her family and to Mike's and Josh's families, taking full responsibility for their predicament . </P> <P> They again hear Josh's agonized cries for help and follow them to a derelict, abandoned house containing symbols and children's bloody hand - prints on the walls . Mike races upstairs to find Josh while Heather follows . Mike says he hears Josh in the basement and heads downstairs while a hysterical Heather struggles to keep up . Upon reaching the basement, Mike suddenly seems to get into a struggle with an unseen force, drops his camera, and falls silent . Heather enters the basement screaming, and her camera captures Mike facing a corner . The unseen force then attacks Heather, causing her to drop her camera and go silent as well . The footage continues for another moment then ends . </P> <P> Development of The Blair Witch Project began in 1993 . While film students at the University of Central Florida, Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sánchez came across the idea for the film after realizing that they found documentaries on paranormal phenomena scarier than traditional horror films . The two decided to create a film that combined the styles of both . In an effort to produce the project, they, along with Gregg Hale, Robin Cowie and Michael Monello started Haxan Films, a production company whose namesake is Benjamin Christensen's 1922 silent documentary horror film Häxan (English: Witchcraft Through the Ages). </P> <P> In developing the mythology behind the film, the creators used many inspirations . For instance, several character names are near - anagrams: Elly Kedward (The Blair Witch) is Edward Kelley, a 16th - century mystic, and Rustin Parr, the fictional 1940s child - murderer, began as an anagram for Rasputin . Viewers are told that the Blair Witch is, according to legend, the ghost of Elly Kedward, a woman banished from the Blair Township (latter - day Burkittsville) for witchcraft in 1785 . The directors incorporated that part of the legend, along with allusions to the Salem witch trials and Arthur Miller's 1953 play The Crucible, to play on the themes of injustice done on those who were called witches . </P>
