Like the original film, the marketing for Adam Wingard’s The Woods has been incredibly compelling, and if you’ve been paying attention, you’ve probably stumbled upon at least a couple bits and pieces of the ARG that’s currently being spread across the net. If not, well, one eagle-eyed fan has done all the legwork!
Over on Reddit, user damienjohn is keeping a close watch on all things Blair Witch…
Was scouring Facebook for the characters from the new movie and have found this..
- Missing person page (Lisa Arlington):

She also has a Kickstarter for the film which she was shooting with James Donahue, regarding the loss of his sister Heather. She went with him into the woods to document his lack of closure.
- Kickstarter (The Absence of Closure)

- Tumblr page by Lisa:

- Further digging leads to a blog by Lane, another new character from the film who lives (lived?) in Burkittsville:

- Lastly I have found a twitter operated a ‘hacktivist’ person/group who claim to have information on the missing students and mystery surrounding the Black Hills:

- Darktruth301 have uploaded a piece of found footage, first found and uploaded by Lane in 2014 as mentioned on his Darknet666 blog. This is the footage that convinces James that Heather is still out there:
UPDATE:
- Have found a hidden face in the footage from Darktruth666, but who is it? http://i.imgur.com/ChJ5NZV.jpg
- Darknet666 Twitter has contacted me and asked for a postal address to (possibly?) send more information. Now we play the waiting game…
Blair Witch (review) arrives in theaters on September 16th.
Written by Simon Barrett and directed by Adam Wingard, Blair Witch stars James Allen McCune, Callie Hernandez, Brandon Scott, Valorie Curry, Corbin Reid, and Wes Robinson.
Roy Lee (The Ring, The Grudge, The Strangers, It), Steven Schneider (Paranormal Activity, Insidious), Keith Calder, and Jessica Wu (You’re Next, The Guest) produce.
Synopsis:
A group of college students venture into the Black Hills Forest in Maryland to uncover the mysteries surrounding the disappearance of James’ sister, who many believe is connected to the legend of the Blair Witch. At first the group is hopeful, especially when a pair of locals offer to act as guides through the dark and winding woods, but as the endless night wears on, the group is visited by a menacing presence. Slowly, they begin to realize the legend is all too real and more sinister than they could have imagined.
