The Tappy East Creek is a very shallow stream that runs along the east border of Burkittsville, Maryland.
History[]
In August of 1825, a young girl named Eileen Treacle drowned in the river. Eleven eye-witnesses claimed to have seen a ghostly hand reach up out of the water and pull the girl under. Despite a search of the river, Eileen's body was never found.[1][2]
Several days later, the creek mysteriously became clogged with oily bundles of sticks, rendering the water useless for thirteen days.[1] Several animals got sick as a result, while a man wandered by the creek sometime after and drank the water, which resulted in his death.
Mary Brown once saw a half-human, half-animal beast near the creek that she believed to be the Blair Witch.
The Blair Witch Files: The Drowning Ghost[]
When doing research on the casefile The Drowning Ghost, Cade Merrill discovered that investigators had detected the presence of the chemical Phelsine in the water. Phelsine was a chemical present in blood that could not by itself exist in water.
