Who is Blair Witch?

Origin The Exile of Elly Kedward In the winter of 1785, an Irishwoman named Elizabeth "Elly" Kedward was exiled from the town of Blair after being accused of being a witch. Several local children she extracted blood from their fingernails for an experiment. The townfolk viewed this as an act of evil. Without any defense to back her innocence, the people of Blair tied Elly to a sledge (wheelbarrow) and dragged her into the woods during the harshest winter in history. Elly was blindfolded and tied to a tree where the towns folk gave her cuts on her skin and abused her in any way possible. She was left still tied to the tree alone and cold. Everyday the towns folk would return to Elly's tree to see if she was dead or not. She was still alive, however, so the townsfolk tortured her further.
