Blair Witch Again

So I come across this link to a forum thread, where supposedly someone found a digital camera while hiking in the woods. He downloaded the pics that were in the cam and posted them up for people to see, and there’s reflections and freaky silhouettes that people start pointing out.

I hate scary shit. Scares the crap out of me. Saw What Lies Beneath a while back and was paranoid everytime I took a shower for at least a week afterwards. So naturally I kept reading the thread as people kept finding more stuff. And then they find a corrupted image from the camera’s memory and attempt to recover what’s on it. And then the person who posted the pics says he’s going back with a bunch of his friends and BB guns. This was good stuff.

Then a few pages later on people link back to the original thread where this is from in another forum, and it’s a hoax. They were laughing their asses off. Really good stuff though.

I’m sure everyone’s too lazy to go through the whole thread, but basically around page 14 or so is when people start calling it a hoax. And finally on page 24 is when they link back to the original thread where it first started. And here’s the excellent photoshopping of the “corrupted image”. Fake, sure, but entertained me for a good hour or so.
