Anyone else find this interesting?

I found it pretty riveting, 'til a pile of people ran around debunking it, and then I just ended up noticing all of its flaws.
Plus, the goofy flytrap idea is considerably less cool than say...a crazy serial murder conspiracy theory.

I like the haunted flytrap thing. It was...new. The serial killer thing is overdone.

SO can anyone point me in the direction of my sanity?

I thought it was really creepy, in 1998, when they were calling it the Blair Witch project.

To quote you, "Hey now. There's no call for that kind of language around here."

Yeah. . . he lost me when he said bone's wouldn't be useful for identifying a corpse. But I kept on and read the whole thing anyway (along with its accompanying blogs) and it's a pretty good read.

But I wonder. Whoever wrote that stuff seemed to be going to a bit of trouble (particularly on that blog page) to convince people it was all very real. If this was created as fiction and the author had enjoyable and immersive fiction in mind when he wrote it then I'd say its art. Good art. But if he's trying to actually convince people it's real then I'd have to say he's off his rocker.

If you read the comments in the last blog entry, you'll see there's a post written by Eric, that he deleted. It had information in it about how the whole thing was a fiction, and that it's being made into a movie. It was always meant as fiction.

There's also an "afterword" page or somesuch, describing the whole thing.

I just don't buy ghosts stories. Tha whole e-mail/blog entry about OMG It's a house that eats people was where I thought "Mmmkay, this is stupid." That section was bereft of logic, and not particularly well written.

I liked it a lot.

Don't you mean 1995? 1964? Or whenever they started to tell ghost stories in this particular tone?

Someone mentioned to me that it shared more (than genre, tone and the modern technology gimmick) with another story, but I forget the name and since people seem willing to bring something as distinct as Blair Witch into it I'm going to assume it's more or less original work.
