If this is taken to be canon, this could be suspected that the Witch really does have some kind of default form, namely the common appearance of many female spirits. However, according to a deleted and unused scene in the film, the Witch was actually meant to be briefly glimpsed in the distance as a Woman in White.
This explains that the woman referred to in The Blair Witch Cult was possessed by the Witch, and the figure James Donahue sees was his sister's remains possessed by the Witch, the latter confirmed by the director. It could be inferred that the Witch can either possess her victims or other people.
The Witch's ghost is an invisible force that can supernaturally control the environment, possess or brainwash victims, and still possesses the necessary strength to manipulate objects and kill individuals. It has been speculated that the Witch herself has no real form of her own, as the directors themselves have stated the spectral apparitions in all films were the Witch's tortured victims, damned to reside in the woods forever under the Witch's control. However, according to screenwriter Simon Barret, the former is the hideously disfigured corpse of one of the Witch's previous victims, while director Adam Wingard states that the figure dressed in Heather's clothes was the Witch herself using Heather's image. It is never specified within the film if she is the seven-foot-tall emaciated creature chasing Lisa or the faceless woman glimpsed by James. Even the apparitions glimpsed in 2016 remain ambiguous in nature. Heather Donahue barely saw her at all, but she was seen to yell out in terror of her appearance while fleeing the campsite, having seen something clearly monstrous in the forest. Robin Weaver saw her as an old woman who floated rather than walked.
Mary Brown saw her as a naked old lady covered in thick black hair. Rustin Parr saw her as an old woman dressed all in black who would vanish when approached.
The Blair Witch Cult claimed that she took the form of a monstrous, barely human hag who "did not touch the ground". The Blair Witch's appearance varies, and it remains unknown if she possesses any kind of concrete form, or if she is capable of shapeshifting.
