Talk:Burkittsville, Maryland

Reworked Blair Witch section
I just spent some time on this, copy-editing and adding some citations. The only thing I removed was one sentence: "The overall story was based partially on folklore from Saint Mary's County, in Southern Maryland.[citation needed]" So far, I haven't been able to find a reference for this, and since this only connects the Blair Witch movie to Saint Mary's County, I thought maybe it wouldn't be missed in an article about Burkittsville. --AnnaFrance (talk) 20:28, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I note a lot of (not particularly reliable) sources talk about a missing girl named Robin Weaver in the late 19th century, and murdered search party. As far as I can determine, it's just more fiction. The story's reference to a (non-existent) "Coffin Rock" contributes to that conclusion.John2510 (talk) 14:49, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

Land was being "patented" ?
This appears at the top of the history section. Does this mean the land was purchased or claimed (for free) ? Needs clarification. SinisterLefty (talk) 18:29, 17 December 2018 (UTC)

Charles Murray of Burkittsville
Pundit Charles Murray is surely the most notable present-day resident of Burkittsville. There ought to be a line about him in here.
