| 16mm Footage |
October, 1995. University of Maryland Professor David Mercer, an anthropology instructor, was supervising a group of students on a field dig when a hidden backpack was discovered. Inside were 16mm film cans, DAT cassettes, a Hi-8, and a CP-16 camera, as well as a tattered journal. The footage was developed and screened by Sheriff Ron Cravens, providing what appeared to be hard evidence in the disappearance of the three students.
What this card's text does not mention, due to space constraints or an editorial decision, is that the backpack was discovered within the dig itself. I seem to recall one of the documentaries that aired prior to the film's opening that the backpack was discovered in an 'impossible' location, adding another layer of supernatural strangeness to the proceedings.
