The Blair Witch Cult was a book published in November of 1809. Though believed to be true at the time of it's publication, it was later commonly considered fiction by scholars. It told of an entire town cursed by an outcast witch, Elly Kedward, full of witchcraft, paganism and lots of bloodletting and gore. By 1991, only one copy was known to exist, which was on display at the Maryland Historical Society museum in Baltimore. The book was badly damaged, with little of the writing still legible.

Bill Barnes of the Burkittsville Historical Society later possessed the book in his private collection, but it had belonged to the Maryland Historical Society and they eventually took it back, despite the fight he put up.
