Goofs
When Jeffrey answers the door to his house and the dogs are barking on the other side of the broken walkway/bridge a thin wire can be seen attached to a dog to keep it from falling.

When the tour group meets Kim in the cemetery, she is lying on a grave with the name "Treacle" written on the headstone, but when they move past the the headstone and see it from the other side, it clearly has the name "Further" written on it, and also looks much older. (This is due to an extra on the DVD version, which includes watching a section backwards to look for clues. These clues then point you to different parts of the film to solve a puzzle, the tombstone is part of that. There is also a shadow of a tombstone that appears as a cross and then just a normal tombstone, and also ghost images throughout the film.)

Q
What was the "Book of Shadows"
A
a "Book of Shadows" is a book that contains spells, incantations and other material that is kept with a high priest or priestess within a Wiccan coven. Solitary Wiccans may also have such a book for their own individual use. In the film "Blair Witch: Book of Shadows" there is no such thing. This may simply be for the sake of an interesting title as it has some reference to witchcraft but the "Book of Shadows" may also be pointing to the tapes that the group had. When played backwards, the tapes revealed all the knowledge they needed to learn in order to find "the witch" and a "Book of Shadows" also contains knowledge of witches when read. This may or may not be the exact connection.
Q
What happened to the Rustin Parr house?
A
Why was it in ruins?The house was burned down by the people of Burkittsville after Rustin Parr was convicted of and executed for the murder of seven of the town's children (known as "The Burkittsville 7").
Q
What are the secrets of ESREVER?
A

Here they are: (keep in mind, some were find by constant view, others were given in ESREVER) FIRE-when kim and erica are sitting at the fire the flames spell "seek". *must pause quickly at right time GRAVE-kim is lying on a grave tomb which says treacle. the next shot it says "further" GRASS-when erica lays her back on the grass after seeing picture of blair witch, the word "me" is to her right in grass.
