That the creature we see in the film is not the witch?
When he said "that wasn't the witch that was someone else"
....Was anything ever explained after??
Personally, I think it's a lie and unless they can explain to us who exactly it was supposed to be then it WAS the witch.
So, it's never explained in the film who it is...
The director hasn't explained who it is...
What is the point then?
What was that story the characters in the movie said about the girl's limbs being pulled by rocks? I forgot who that girl was.

Well, it's kind of hard to make the connection because you probably forgot about that story by the time the creature in the house appeared. Plus, it's not on screen for very long so you really have to be focused to see its design and notice those long limbs.
They were talking about the Blair Witch though....
shareNot some girl, the witch? They tied her up in the woods on a "makeshift rack".
It would make sense I guess for the witch to take that form, or to turn others into this form.

Well, if we're to lend any credence to subtitles - and if, as dejay posted, the BW's victims take on her formm? -
James and Lisa get to the house, and she says she doesn't want to go in; then there's a scream, and the subtitle
[Heather screaming]
(However; as Lisa comes up out of the tunnel and shrieks during her confrontation with Lane, there's [Ashley screaming]. Oops.)
So the woman on the DV tape Lane "found," and posted - the woman James thought could be Heather - was actually Lisa (whom we see close the latch just as the woman on the tape does) as recorded by Lane?! And he was subsequently returned to the current timeline, along with Talia - ?! - with their memories of their experiences in the near future having been erased? I'm *very* confused!
One of the director's on the commentary track seems to be hinting that it's Eileen Treacle. if you don't remember who she is, she's the little girl the witch supposedly pulled into the river. She became some kind of tree creature which is what I think is happening to that black girl when she pulls the roots out of her leg. the directors do mention that it is a root that has grown in her leg.
shareHinting? This commentary explanation was so hyped up by the directors only for them to drop a hint?
shareDid they really hype up commentary explanations? Smart azzholez. They repeatedly talk about how they are not going to really say much for this reason and that reason. Even what they do seem willing to tell gets cut off early for the next discussion about stuff that you'd rather hear the rest of the previous instead.
