The Basket Lady

In the Pacific Northwest, the Coast Salish people tell stories of the Basket Lady, a dark figure lurking in the forest undergrowth. She watches silently, with pitch in hand to blind her prey, and a large cedar basket to swiftly carry away disobedient children.  Will and Dakota, two young girls on the reservation laugh off warnings of the Pitch Witch as just another scary story meant to keep kids in line.  However, as their rebellion continues, they soon realize the chilling reality for those who don’t listen to their Elders.
