7. The Haunting In Connecticut
Similar to the movie, the Snedeker family moved into a new home in Connecticut sometime in the 1980s. They too had a son who was undergoing treatment for cancer. The family started experience what they described as a 'demonic presence.' Subsequently, they discovered that the house had previously been a funeral home. They found mortuary equipment in the basement which further cemented their belief. The family described the demons as 'One of the demons was very thin, with high cheekbones, long black hair and pitch black eyes. Another had white hair and eyes, wore a pinstriped tuxedo, and his feet were constantly in motion.' The house was examined by the famous Ed and Lorraine Warren (the same couple from The Conjuring), who found that the morticians working at the mortuary were involved in necromancy with the corpses. The investigators claimed that could hear the sound of a chain used to hoist a coffin during the night. When Ed went to check, he found two women dancing in circles and singing; and when he walked towards them, they disappeared. And if the word of these investigators is anything to go by (who certainly have impressive credentials, by the way), then the actual case was 'much, much scarier than any movie could ever be.'
