And I'm confused as to why there's a custom_stories folder in The Villiage? If The Villiage is a custom story, when you open it you should see:
A folder named Maps
The custom_story_settings.cfg
When you open the Maps folder, you should see:
The Villiage's map (mapname.map)
The .hps

I've read over your extra english many times and nothing seems wrong to me. I DID however notice in your hpl.log it said something on the lines of "low graphics", could not having a good enough graphics card be a problem? Just throwing out suggestions.

The BlackBox problem might be caused by the Journal section you added. Journals aren't meant to be in the extra_english.lang anyway.
In the Amnesia: The Dark Descent folder, look for the folder named Config.
Open that folder, then open the folder named lang_main.
Now open the file called english.lang with Notepad or Notepad++, whichever you have.
Use the search thing in the program (Notepad's is Edit>Find I believe) and search the word Journal.
When you find it, it should say: <CATEGORY Name="Journal">
Right under it, (just hit Enter when the cursor is right after the >.) this needs to be added:
<Entry Name="Note_MYNOTE_Name">My title note here</Entry>
<Entry Name="Note_MYNOTE_Text">My note text here</Entry>
Each on it's own line. Since you already have your notes done correctly, you can just Copy>Paste them in. Make sure all of your entries come after <CATEGORY Name="Journal"> but before the ending </CATEGORY>. make sure they're all erased from your extra_english.Lang, save, and WALA tell me if it works!

By the way, that would make your extra_english.lang look like this now:

Spoiler below!

<CATEGORY Name="CustomStoryMain">
<Entry Name="Description">You are a man named Robert Lightwood. You are having personal problems, such as depression, for an unknown reason. Your wife, Maryse Lightwood, goes on a trip to somewhere in the desert, and she dies along the way. She gives you most the things she owns in her will, including a strange artifact she found in the desert. You keep it, and strange things start happening. Such as voices telling you to "Throw it away," or "Give it to me." You ignore them, and keep living, or trying to. You are then taking a nice stroll down an abandoned road when you hear something in the bushes. You get weak from fear and fall to the floor. The world goes dark and something slaps you on the head. You wake in a cell and the story begins.</Entry>
