That explanation is pretty good, and I think it explains why a viewer's first thought when seeing the image of Mike in the corner is that the event is supernatural in nature (or maybe I should just say witch-caused). The fact that he's a grown man doing that contributes to that notion and makes it all the more chilling. However, as neverending pointed out, the logic is flawed, and it doesn't prove that it's supernatural. That's one of the things that makes the ending scary though. You don't actually know what happened. The first thought might be supernatural, but then you start to wonder about other options. Is it actually a serial killer? If so, is he under the influence of the witch, our just using the story of the witch as inspiration to fuel his madness? Or is it really the Blair Witch, and if so what form does she take? The confusion and vagueness is why the ending works so well.
