Sorry to spoil the money making vilification of witches worldwide but NO it is not real.
The "legend" was a total fabrication by the film writer/directors Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sanchez. A very low budget, documentary fake could have been called the Blair Missing Students but that was not catchy enough, so in typical movie fashion, the word WITCH was thrown in and people flocked to the movie to see how bad witches were. It worked and now we have thousands unable or unwilling to believe that it actually is a work of fiction.
A sad commentary on the willingness of human gullibility.

The Blair Witch and 'myth' surrounding its story base are entirely fiction. It was made to seem real as hype to get more people to see the movie; and to scare them speechless. The Blair Witch was loosely inspired by the myth surrounding the happenings of the Bell Witch.
