“The Bitterroot Footage” is a story shared through a website and YouTube channel in 2012, based on a series of photographs and a creepy video shot on 8mm that shows us a chilling find, followed by a murder in the woods.
"The Bitterroot Footage".
My name is Chad. I'm a student at a university in New York. I just moved to a studio apartment and needed some furniture.
I found a guy on Craigslist that wanted to desperately get rid of his things at super cheap prices so I went to check it out. He sold things in bulk to get rid of as much things as possible. I bought a small table and it came with a bunch of other random things. Some of it I gave away and some I kept.
An old wooden box caught my attention. It was locked and out of curiosity, I kept it. I had to force open the lid with a screw-driver and inside I found some old pictures. The word 'bitterroot' was handwritten on the backs of all of them. There was also a tin can that contained a reel of film that I later learned from my friend Dario (a film student), was 8mm film.
The film was pretty damaged so I just kept it on my bookshelf as decoration, but I couldn't get the images of the pictures out of my head. I had to figure out a way to watch that film.
With help from Dario, we got an old 8mm projector in good working condition on Ebay. The film skipped in several spots so we put it together with a special tape and then watched it again. What we found was disturbing.
