Plot hole: Referring to that blackout night. How come the group can actually film how they put all their cameras and stuff into its hide?
Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 (2000)
Plot summary
Directed by: Joe Berlinger
Starring: Jeffrey Donovan, Erica Leerhsen, Bruce D. Reed, Chuck Scarborough, Kurt Loder, Stephen Barker Turner
The Blair Witch Project has brought much unwanted attention to Burkittsville, Maryland, where tourists have been showing up to see where the movie was filmed, and people have been selling merchandise to cash in on the movie's success. A town local, Jeff, with a checkered past, takes a group of tourists into the woods, all fans of the original movie in one way or another. There is a couple researching a book, Stephen and Tristan; a wiccan, Erica; and a goth girl, Kim. However, after a night of partying, the group wakes up to find their research destroyed, and their campsite trashed. With only their camera footage, the group heads to Jeff's home (an old abandoned factory in the woods), and begin searching the footage for clues as to what had happened the night before. Strange things begin happening, and the group begins to fear the worst. And then another group of tourists is found murdered in the woods, leaving the main group as the suspects...

Stephen: There was a Safeway a while back.
Jeff: That was in Burkittsville. I never shop in Burkittsville. I don't even piss there.
Trivia: This movie is the first feature film directed by famed documentary director Joe Berlinger. His original director's cut of the film was much more ambiguous and less reliant on traditional Hollywood-style horror sequences. However, the studio forced him to reshoot several key sequences, add in new scenes and drastically re-edit the film to make it more marketable to mainstream audiences. Berlinger dislikes the version of the film released in theaters, and didn't direct another feature - film until Netflix's "Extremely Wicked, Shocking Evil and Vile," which was released almost 20 years later in 2019. (Though he continued to work as a documentary director in the meantime).
Question: On the DVD (UK, not sure about anywhere else) there is a feature called 'the secret of esrever', which tells you to look for very subliminal hidden images in the film - I have looked so many times and there is still one I can't find - does anyone know where the 'water' one is? The only thing I can see is what looks like an owl's head made out of the trees in the scene where the woman is drowning a baby in the lake. If this is it how does it relate to the film? Also is there a message in the images? There are a few words but I can't make a sentence out of them.

Answer: In the scene where the baby is submerged in the water, watch the lower right-hand side of the screen. You'll see the shadow of a stickman emerge and come higher into the frame.
