Upon arrived it was said she was still alive and the children allowed their dogs to attack her and basically finish the job. Once word spread some local town children wanted to see the aftermath of what had happened to Elly and ventured out in the Black Hills forest for a closer investigation. Different reports state that the town drug her into the woods, tied her to a tree and left her for dead. She was found guilty of witchcraft, banished from the village during a particularly harsh winter, and presumed dead. In February 1785, several children accused her of luring them into her home to draw blood from them. However Elly wasn’t so welcoming, she would often drive people away from her house and was considered a recluse and somewhat odd.
She then arrived at the town of Blair, many of the locals were not used to seeing newcomers often but none the less welcomed her with open arms. From here she has had links to Waterford, Wexford and many other places in South-East Ireland before eventually jumping on a immigrant boat to America.
Other tales talk about near unspeakable horrors, her father being captured and killed and disembowelled in front of her while she is tortured and repeatedly raped. There are many theories on where the story goes from here, some say her father passed away from small pox and her mother died during birth leaving Elly a newborn only to be found by a stranger and eventually making her way to the United States. She was born in Glengariff, Cork, Ireland in 1729 to an Irish mother and Welsh father. She was later known infamously as the Blair Witch. Elly Kedward, born Eilis Abaigeal Kedward, was an Irish immigrant from Glengariff, Ireland who settled in Blair, Maryland.
