The Blair Witch: Pop Culture Haunted and the True Cursed History

Welcome to The Oddity Shop, Where the Bizarre is Always on Sale!  This week in the shop, Kara tells us all things Blair Witch

In this episode we take a detailed look at the infamous Blair Witch Project, revealing its potent impact on the world of horror cinema. Analyzing each chilling moment, from the unexplainable stick figures to the blood-soaked clothing, we don't leave any stone unturned.

Then, join us as we unmask the historical truth behind the Blair Witch narrative, shedding light on the life of the supposed witch Moll Dyer. We delve into the myths surrounding Moll, the healer and forager, taking you back to the chilling times when even a small misfortune could result in deadly accusations. We also scrutinize the tale of her bitter end - frozen to a boulder, and the supposed curse associated with it. It's a tale as old as time, but sometimes, truth is stranger than fiction.

 So, are you ready to uncover the horrors that lay hidden?  Tune in, hold your breath, and let's take the plunge together.
