I'm my defense, I was a teenager at the time. But I fully believed that it was actually found footage due to the marketing. That infomercial disguised as a documentary got me.

I was also a teenager. It was also quite obvious that neither the families of the victims nor law enforcement would allow such footage to be released as a film, not to mention the fact that magic isn't real.

The trailers weren't that specific. They talked about some students investigating an urban legend who disappeared before their footage was later found. There was nothing about how they died because of magic.

The word "witch" kinda gives it away.

An urban legend could have a real human as the end of it.

That was, like, 97% of Scooby Doo, man.
