We're glad you stopped by. Of course, we "knew" you were going to. Witchcraft or hype? Burkittsville became (in)famous at the end of the last millenium when, in 1999, it was thrust into the spotlight as the setting for a documentary horror film, The Blair Witch Project. Since then the term "Burkittsville" has become synonymous with all things "witch" and similar "out of the ordinary" items of interest. Please understand, while the town of Burkittsville is real, the movie is just that, a movie. The legend is a fake. True, there is a dark, dense woods to the west of town, but most people are convinced there is no child-stealing witch inhabiting those woods.. Burkittsville is a small, sleepy, historic village nestled between two Civil War battlefields in central Maryland. Yet Burkittsville is visited annually by thousands of movie and witchcraft fans -- just wanting to "see" for themselves. It is a pretty town (pictures), it is an historic town, but it is not haunted town. Hmmmmm...what about all of those spirits from the nearby battlefields? Today, however, Burkittsville.com has become popular for costumes. People now come here for the best selection in Witch (and other) Costumes, Party Supplies and Things from Another World. Costumes are not only for Halloween; these costume and party supplies sell all year around.
