In April of 1994, Josh was approached by Heather Donahue to be the director of photography for a documentary she was doing on the legend of the Blair Witch. They'd previously worked on several projects together and got along well, so he agreed to the assignment, recruiting Mike to do the sound. The night before heading out on the project, Josh fought with his girlfriend Lisa Toller because she didn't want him to go. She'd only met Heather once, but had a bad feeling about her.

Bio: James was born the son of Angie and Jim Donahue, grandson of Randy and Sadie Donahue, the brother of Heather Donahue and the cousin of Cade Merrill. Little is known of James' early life, or what his relationship with his older sister was. Likely it was a good relationship, as he cared enough to try and find her later on in his adult life. Lisa noted that for as long as she had known James he had been searching high and low for answers about Heather. This was not too different from his sister Heather, who herself ventured into the Black Hills forest because she wanted answers. After his sister's disappearance and the recovery of her footage, it is likely that when James was old enough he viewed the footage himself. James had taken part in the searches conducted by the authorities to try and find Heather and her crew. At one point, James stumbled across a video on YouTube, which was reportedly found near the site where Heather disappeared which revealed Heather may still be alive, and takes his friends to look for her.

Bio: In February 1785, several children accused her of luring them into her home to draw blood from them. She was found guilty of sucking blood, banished from the village during a particularly harsh winter, and presumed dead. Different reports state that the town dragged her into the woods, tied her to a tree and left her for dead. Young children from the township returned to investigate if Elly had died yet. They found her alive and still tied to the tree, the children sent dogs after her, and slashed her with sticks and knives. They dipped their hands in her blood and press handprints into her flesh before untying her and hanging her from the very same tree. By midwinter, all of Elly Kedward's accusers, along with half of the town's children vanished. Fearing of being cursed or bewitched, the townspeople fled Blair and vowed never to utter the name Elly Kedward again.
