These YA horror books based on the Blair Witch really do try and make full use of the mythology from the movie and mockumentaries. This one focussing on Eileen Treacle and the ghost of the girl that drowned in 3 feet of water.
The infamous log and creek from the movie plays prominently in an effectively written horror story about a group of school kids visiting the woods on a school camp destined for sinister incidents. (One of the teachers wears blue nail polish, and that’s used to typically fun Blair Witch effect.)
Recommended?: a great quick read for fans of the movies and whilst it’s not going to win any awards, it’s definitely a real page turner and very entertaining.

I genuinely loved this book. Very eerie. Really captured the “evil” spirit of the movie. This is my first book in the Blair Witch Files. And I am definitely reading more!

A typical ghost story could be worse could be better.

I have had an interest in the Blair Witch for a while now. I have not seen the movie, nor the sequel...but I have been wanting to do. I was at a Goodwill yesterday and came across this book. It was a short read, it caught my interest, etc. So I sat down this morning and started it and just finished. It wasn't a bad book, but it wasn't all that great either. The Blair Witch Project is fictional, so these "files" written by a cousin of one of the people who supposedly disappeared are obviously not real either. But they are freaky all the same...and I am the type of person who views creepy as anything that is believable. Sort of how Paranormal Activity isn't scary but it's so realistic that it's eerie, this book was similar.
It's about 4 seniors (Noah, Jane, Mark, Cecilia) and two adults- Mr. Morris and Ms. S who go on a camping trip with a group of 30 7th graders. It's a school trip to learn about biology. The seniors are coming along as "counselors" but soon into the trip things get freaky. They learn about the legend of Eileen who is a little girl who drowned in the Tabby creake in the 1800's and she supposedly haunts it. Mr. Morris and Mark fall into the same creak and have a hard time getting out, like something was holding them in. They start acting very different after that and it's because Eileen's ghost is supposedly haunting them and making them do what she wants- which is lure all the children into the woods so they will die and she will have playmates.
It's a scary little story about a camping trip gone wrong. Both adults disappear and are never heard from again, 4 seniors are left to look after kids, and one of them is apparently possessed by this little ghost girl. In the end the children/seniors are rescued and the school tries to cover up the tragic camping trip.

It was a short but definitely an interesting read. I guess what made it even more scarier was the fact that all the unexplained scenarios were based on a true story. The mysterious accounts and testimonials of all the people involved will give you chills that you had to ask yourself if that really happened. Any way, it seems like I have found another reason to go to Booksale and that was hunting for other series of The Blair Witch Files.
