If your not familiar with the Blair Witch story here's a rough history.
February 1885:
Several children accuse Blair Wilson of luring them into her home to draw blood from them. Wilson is found guilty of witchcraft, banished from the village during a particularly harsh winter and presumed dead.
November 1886:
By midwinter all of Wilson's accusers along with half of the town's children vanish. Fearing a curse, the townspeople flee Sawyers Valley and vow never to utter Blair Wilson's name again.
November 1901:
The Blair Witch Cult is published. This rare book, commonly considered fiction, tells of an entire town cursed by an outcast witch.
August 1925:
Eleven witnesses testify to seeing a pale woman's hand reach up and pull ten-year-old Edith Poole into The Helena River. Her body is never recovered, and for thirteen days after the drowning the river is clogged with oily bundles of sticks.
March 1926:
Eight-year-old Robert Hinnes is reported missing and search parties are dispatched. Although Hinnes returns, one of the search parties does not.
To help you in your quest the spiritual site is ringed by three markers. The cache is located within the area defined by these markers.
May 1941:
Starting with Edith Poole, a total of seven children are abducted from the area surrounding Sawyers Valley.
October 20 1994:
Avid cachers, Cache Friendly and Stealth Nightly arrive in Sawyers Valley to interview locals about the legend of the Blair Witch for a class project. Stealth interviews Bronte Carlisle, an old and quite insane woman who has lived in the area all her life. Bronte claims to have seen the Blair Witch one day near Crawler Rd in the form of a hairy, half-human, half-animal beast.
October 21 1994:
In the early morning, Stealth interviews two local timber workers who tell the cachers that Coffin Rock is less than twenty minutes from town but now located on private property on Luelf Rd. Stealth is also told the original Blair Wilson Spiritual site is easily accessed but not recommended to visit especially alone just off Kent Rd. Cache Friendly and Stealth Nightly drive into the Mundaring Forest shortly thereafter and are never seen again.
Do you have what it takes to recover the cache at midnight when Blair Wilson reportedly visits the site each night?
October 25 1994:
The first APB is issued. Stealth's car is found later in the day parked on Talbot West Road.
October 26 1994:
The State Police launch their search of the Mundaring Forest area, an operation that lasts ten days and includes up to one hundred men aided by dogs, helicopters.
November 5 1994:
The search is called off after 33,000 man-hours fail to find a trace of the cachers or any of their gear. Stealth's mother, Sleeps Nightly, begins an exhaustive personal search for her son and her son's companion Cache.
June 19 1995:
The case is declared inactive and unsolved.
October 16 1995:
Three cachers from interstate decide to check out the mystery discover a cache containing Stealth's journal and a camera buried near the original spiritual site. Only one cacher returns alive with stories of horrific screams heard throughout the forest. When the evidence is examined, local police announce that the 11 rolls of film are indeed the property of the missing Cache Friendly and Stealth Nightly.
December 15 1995:
After an initial study of the cache's contents, select pieces of film footage are shown to the families. According to Sleeps Nightly, there are several unusual events, but nothing conclusive. The families question the thoroughness of the analysis and demand another look.
March 1 1996:
The police department announces that the evidence is inconclusive and the case is once again declared inactive and unsolved. The footage will be released to the families when the legal limit of its classification runs out.
The forest is quite creepy at night so bring a torch and waypoint your vehicle as disorientation is easy within the woods.
Their bodies are found weeks later at Coffin Rock tied together at the arms and legs and completely disemboweled. Coffin Rock is located 15km east of the spiritual site on the property Falconhurst off Luelf Rd. This is the site where five men, who were searching for the missing Robert Hinnes, were found with their bodies tied together at the arms and legs. Each had been disemboweled and were in an advanced state of decomposition. Strange markings had been carved into their faces and hands.
Similar to the markings found near the spiritual site ....
The Forest has a warning marker posted near the edge of the forest to warn hikers not to enter.

In the past I have walked through this plantation whilst rogaining and have set a rogaine control in the middle clearing twice
There are several entries in the logbook by 4WDrivers but not logged on this page
We didn't find any of the special markers, there appears to be a significant amount of tree destruction due to termites and perhaps other, more elemental forces.
Our original intent was to claim this cache as 'unfound for 2 years' on the relevant locationless cache, but it appears to have been stumbled upon at least as recently as April this year, so that will have to wait for another find.
Made a few swaps, signed the log, thanks for the cache.

Found the cache in good condition and all OK. One of the stick things seems to have started to come apart but the others are still hanging OK.
Got near GZ and thought to myself - there are a lot of grass trees around here. Then looked to my left and there was the cache
TNLN, thanks for the cache!

My thanks to Belken and Team Landcruiser for a set three well placed caches. For those not already having done Belken's three other Geocaching Australia caches in the area, this walk could be extended to two good day's walking.
Back to the cache. Found it in good condition at 9:17 AM, but alas no sign of the stick men. Left a phone case and took the Kyocera lanyard. Thanks Team Landcruiser.

The GPS went round in circles and I followed it. The noises in this place gave me the creeps. We pushed through on what we thought was our last known co-ordinates when she had the audacity to imply we were lost. I said if South doesn't work we may as well go east. or North or .....
The littles stick man poked me in the eye but we knew we were close. A quick slap for the blubbering mess(me)and she found the cache.

Thanks for the hunt
