A little background help from Wikipedia: "In October 1994, film students (Heather Donahue, Michael C. Williams and Joshua Leonard) set out to produce a documentary about the fabled Blair Witch. They travel to Burkittsville, Maryland, formerly Blair, and interview locals about the legend of the Blair Witch. The locals tell them of Rustin Parr, a hermit who kidnapped seven children in the 1940s and brought them to his house in the woods where he tortured and murdered them. Parr brought the children into his house's basement in pairs, forcing the first child to face the corner and listen to their companion's screams as he murdered the second child."
So of course after days of wandering in the woods (and after their friend Josh disappears) Heather and Mike find and begin walking through Parr's cabin deep in the woods. Mike is frantically searching the house for Josh, and Heather, holding the camera, can barley keep up. She witnesses Mike head to the basement and then go silent. She hesitantly enters the basement and there's Mike... standing silently in corner. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! I got to see a screening for The Blair Witch project and this ending gave my goosebumps goosebumps. I just watched the above youtube video and had the exact same reaction I did 15 years ago. SPOOKY AS HELL!
