Summary

Based on the reportedly true story of a New York family that relocates to Connecticut so that their son Paul could be closer to the hospital where he was receiving treatment from cancer. The Parker family rents a seemingly-perfect home, only to discover that it had formerly served as a funeral home. As their son begins to undergo serious personality changes and claims (along with the other children) that the home is haunted by multiple entities, the parents refuse to listen. Only when Paul is removed from the home do the parents fully understand the true horrors that lurk inside the house. | Submitted By: TheCabinet

Trivia
The docudrama is based on the accounts of the Snedeker family who relocated to a home in Southington, Connecticut to be closer to a hospital where their son was undergoing cancer treatment. The case is known as the "Southington Funeral Home Case" in the world of the paranormal and was investigated by well-known, but highly controversial, Ed and Lorraine Warren. Their experiences were also documented in the book, In a Dark Place: The Story of a True Haunting (1994) by Ray Garton. The author has since gone on record as stating that the book is a piece of fiction and that he believed the whole thing had been made up. In 2009, the story was again adapted as a feature film with The Haunting in Connecticut (2009). \| Submitted By: TheCabinet
