The Curse of ''Bitterroot''

By Crusader1307

 Found Footage ''Curse'' Films are were (and still are) all the rage. Many are nothing more than stunts and publicity attempts to garner attention for one reason or another. Regardless of IF this take is true or not, it is well worthy of inclusion into anyone's collection of Urban Myths and Legends. This ''story'' begins around 2012. It involves one ''Chad'' (no last name) and a weird ''find'' on Craig's List (an American Internet ''Clearing House'' for all things and services). ''Craig'' purchased a rather old wooden box which was filled with old 8mm film reels and a collection of 19th Century-style Prints. The prints showed what appeared to be a ''Hooded and Robed'' figure, which looks for all like an ''Old Hag or Witch''; Curious, ''Chad'' was able to secure an old Projector to see if the film canisters yielded anymore mysteries. They did.

The black and white ''film'' – with no sound, shows an unknown camera person, walking through unknown woods. It is unclear if the location if in The US or Europe (although ''Chad'' states that ''Bitterroot, New York'' is written inside The Box). Further, dating of the subject mater is hard. The camera man films what appears to a ruined stone house, crumbling. Suddenly, the ''Witch'' from the still photos appears. Unaware that ''She'' is being filmed, The Figure goes inside the house. Our intrepid camera person follows, trying to remain as hidden as possible.

Moving to an area which may have one time been a Kitchen, The ''Witch'' is seen sitting on a chair – poking at a burlap sack on the ground with a long stick. The camera person quickly leaves his hiding place and moves towards a back room. ''We'' see what appears to be some form of incubator (the type found in any Hospital and used for prematurely born infants). The camera person moves to look inside. ''We'' see what appears to be a decomposing infant. (Still Curious?)

This obviously scares the camera person who runs out of the house and into the woods again. Later, we are shown The ''Witch'' again, wandering the woods and going towards a ravine. ''She'' is carrying a sack. Throwing it into the ravine, ''She'' turns and walks away. After a few minutes, the camera person becomes curious and goes to look at the sack. Opening it, we ''see'' a human Female Head! The camera person runs away.

As per the rest, of which made it's way to You Tube, the end becomes extremely violent (perhaps ala ''Blair Witch Project''). So much so, it was removed and permanently banned from that sight. According to ''Chad'' He has had nothing but bad luck since viewing the film. He ''warns'' that one should not watch it. Clever ''Film Student'' ploy for extra credit with His Professor? Or a REAL ''cursed'' Film?
