The Most Terrifying Ghost Story To Ever Come Out Of Connecticut Is Truly Chilling

The Haunting In Connecticut is based on a real-life haunting experienced by the Snedeker family in a former funeral home.

Have you ever seen The Haunting In Connecticut? If not, you can check out the trailer for a taste of the chilling film:

Between 1987 and 1989, one of the most captivating and talked about hauntings of all time took place. Long time locals may remember the tales of the Snedeker family, who appeared on several popular talk shows. But to most, it's known only by its movie name, The Haunting In Connecticut. It's the unfortunate story of a family that moved to the Nutmeg State to be closer to a cancer treatment center for their son, only to find their new house was demonically possessed.

The family was initially very excited to move into their new house, despite its past as a funeral home.

Compared to their previous home in upstate New York, the Southington colonial was like a castle. But when the two sons began discovering nooks and hidden rooms, where apparitions and visions of blood soaked walls awaited them, things started getting weird. At first, the stories were just childish claims. But the parents soon realized the stories were true.

Here we see John Zaffis, a paranormal investigator, during his walkthrough of the home.

The famous Ed and Lorraine Warren also investigated the home, and declared it haunted. The family members were seeing things. Music was playing from nowhere. Objects were moving.

The movie that came out of this haunting was nothing short of traumatizing. But as John Zaffis will point out in his quick interview below, some of The Haunting In Connecticut's scenes never actually happened and were added for scream value. Even still, Lorraine Warren said the actual case was "much, much scarier than any movie could ever be."
