I loved the show, "A Haunting In Georgia". It was so interesting how the little girl talked to Mr. Gordy and Con, and then to find out that they had been residents of that area and property was fascinating. But "A Haunting In Connecticut" was really scary, and I felt so sorry for the boy that had cancer, and had to live in the basement of a funeral home. SCARY!!!

I watched a A Haunting In Georgia I believe on TLC a few weeks back and they showed it twice. I think two hours was too much I would have rathered have them put it into one hour. For the show A Haunting In Connecticut TLC hasn't aired it yet. I would like to see if it is really scary.

And for the three whom wanted both shows or just one why don't you instead of asking someone to give it to you. Just either save up your money and go to Rogers Video (thats what we have up here). Or go to Blockbuster Video and rent it or buy it? It's way easier and the quality of the video would be much better.

I watched A Haunting in Georgia where at the end of the show they had the eldest child blessed or what have you. What they should have done was to bless the heck out of the house.
But that's just my own belief and opinion.

I've seen it. It scared me at the time.

I watched a haunting in conneticut and wouldnt go to the bathroom by myself that whole night it was super scarey. I'd love a copy if you have the time or the energy if not dont worry about it




~*~Starr~*~

I thought it was interesting in A Haunting in Georgia that the hooded figure was depicted as a man wearing a jacket with a hood. I bet if the witnesses were to provide a more accurate description it would have been a hooded figure more closely resembling a shadow person.

A Haunting In Connecticut, was creepy! Especially that demon guy, his eyes were very haunting.

Yeah that show was very creepy. Those poor boys and the things they had to witness alone. That is why so many people keep their experiences with the supernatural quiet because of the exact reaction those kids parents had. Makes you feel so bad for them. The idea of moving into a funeral home is scary enough but to find out that a gateway to hell is in your basement...WOAH!!!

But the entire "Haunting in Connecticut" was one big sham.

Check out this link!

I don't understand why that's so hard for members here to swallow. That entire
show was just one big piece of fiction. I agree the show was scary beyond belief, but there is no truth to the 'haunting'.

Interesting piece of information......it's true then....People would rather believe a lie.......that's really scary

I'll take you one further (well two) You can visit this link to (when Ray Garton, author of "In A Dark Place" was asked about the "haunting" again recently:

This link right here

Or you can just google "ray garton warrens" in general.

In regard to people who'd rather ignore this: I guess it's the difference between people who'd rather believe that a fantasy is real for entertainment purposes, or for people who'd rather believe a fantasy is reality. I guess I assumed that people who frequented these forums were interested in genuine hauntings, not Hollywood entertainment.

Carmen Snedeker (the real name of the mother from a Haunting in Connecticut) has a website that purports to have the *untold* story behind the haunting. I read Ray Garton's book "In a Dark Place" - which was the most terrifying book I have read, real or not - and I found it interesting that some key parts were different than they were in the documentary. In the FAQ section of that site, Snedeker stated that some parts of the book and movie were embellished, but for the most part, were accurate.
I am curious as to what aspects of the family's stories were inconsistent in Ray Garton's opinion, and how much of that could be chalked up to poor memories. I also wonder if the family was simply looking for their 15 minutes of fame, but if so, why did we not hear much of this story?
Interestingly, the website (which hasn't been updated since March) notes that Carmen Snedeker is available to go on speaking tours to talk about her experience. Presumably, for a paycheck....

Here is a discussion with Ray Garton on the "Horrogasms" forum that he frequents, where he is asked to comment on the book. He reiterates everything he mentions from the 1999 usenet posting.

Ray Garton "In A Dark Place" thread

He states that, the makers of "Haunting in Connecticut" even went about doing their own changes to the 'story'.

Is it frightening? Sure. I think it's probably the most frightening thing produced by a standard cable network. Is it B.S.? Sure - probably very likely. I would not take very much stock in whatever Carmen Snedeker has to say.

But I mean - what are we here for? To talk about fantasy, fiction, and films? Yeah, I know this is the t.v. and media forum, but isn't this suppose to be about the paranormal, and not about fiction?

What I find curious (and suspicious) is that the Warrens were investigating this supposed haunting, and had people in the house with video equipment (and audio equipment) yet, not a single thing was recorded! Obviously, this detracts from any credibility that these people may have otherwise had.

I have both documentaries. A Haunting in Connecticut (gorgeous clear footage) and A Haunting in Georgia. I can put them on one tape. Please email iansomerhalderfan@yahoo.com for details. Thanks.

^^^^
Well, even though I believe in the possibilites of ghosts, it's just flat out hard to take normal, stable people on their word when it comes to something like ghosts, let alone a dysfunctional family who cannot keep their story straight - and in particular have the Warrens as their investigative team.

I went about finding if Ray Garton had a fourm or other online domain where he hangs out at, and after suceeding I asked him (under my "other" online name) if he would be willing to comment once again on his book and his experiences with that particular case.:

Edit: I put the same link down here to the "Horrorgasms" thread that I have above.

I totally agree. I certainly believe that ghosts exist - and have had some 'unexplained experiences' myself - but the snedeker story was quite extreme. One thing that I don't understand about the Warrens and their investigation into the snedeker case is WHY nobody managed to get a single occurrence on video or audio! They have all of their researchers at this house, all of whom have recording devices, but NOBODY has one single shred of proof that these things occurred.
Let me know if Ray Garton responds to your new query!
Thanks

Ray did. The link to the "horrorgasms" forum is way up at the top of the page but I'll share it here:

http://p103.ezboard.com/fhorrorgasmsfrm7.s...icID=1913.topic

Now, in regard to the lack of recordings on video or audio? You have me there. I don't think that the Warrens even bother with that. Why deal in anything close to objective facts when you can just use your "demonology" abilities to tell you if a place is haunted, not to mention a fat book and/or movie deal.

hi ive been looking everywhere to get a copy of it if i can get it i would appreciate it, i was also wondering is there a way that it could be downloaded thank you GINA

hey John
im very much interested if u have a copy, i would realy appreciate it
:D

a copy would be really appriciated

i was extremly facisnated about the programme and would like to see it again.

I saw it, very well done documentary.

Ok well, I live in Connecticut and I have been into the paranormal for about 10 years now. Studying and working close with the Warrens. This house does in fact exist. I have been there. I have to say that the documentary is true but i also think that they made it a lot worse then it was. Warrens do in fact have evidence of paranormal activity. The location that they showed in the documentary showed the house out in the open. When in fact the house is actually on a busy road with houses to its left and right.

If you guys want something to read about, have you guys heard of the raggedy (spelling) ann doll??

Actually in my opinion it is all true. The author of In a Dark Place had nothing to do with the haunting. He is simply an author who collected information and wrote a book. Just to add he also has contributed to Sabrina, wrote Warlock and numerous Nightmare on Elm Street books. One of the lead researchers of the haunting, John Zaffis, I personally know and is very trustworthy, trust me, all of this did happen. None of it was for monetary gain.
Demons are very real and want us to think that they are not. This is how they opperate. One part of the ordeal that the Television show does not explore because of the sensative nature involving a minor is how the young boy was effected. Keep in mind that this young child was undergoing chemotherapy. Here it is:

The child was convinced that he was talking to a figure in the basement. Those who know about demons understand that this is very dangerous, NEVER converse with spirits because you never know if they are who they say they are. It may in fact be a demon who will lie and mis-identify itself as a spirit.
The demon began to implant thoughts into the childs head. Thoughts of killing his entire family, including the pets. Sound familiar?, The Amnityville Horror case is very similar and perhaps the same demon was involved. The child wrote all of this down in a diary which his aunt discovered. When the child uncovered that his diary had been discovered he became very enraged assulting the aunt and mother with the force of a full grown man. The mother became very concerned that the health of the child was threatened by his actions and she called for an ambulence. It took three full grown men to subdue a small child who was extremely weakened because of chemotherapy. Persons who are posessed are known for superhuman stregnth.
The child was removed from the house and placed in the hospital for observation. At this point the demon became enraged and began assulting everyone violently. Persons were hit, puched and in a most violent nature literally picked up, laid prone, and slammed on the floor. It was not until the exorcism that this activity ceased.
The spiritual and demonic worlds are real and effect us greatly. They want us to believe that they do not exist. In this manner they can opperate more effectively and unchecked.
Persons from other parts of the world are often amazed at how unbelieving we in the modern world are in all things supernatural.
In remote parts of Africa and South America the spiritual practices of these people are often seen us in developed countries and backward. We often look to the publicised spiritual activities seen on PBS or the Discovery channel as laughable, mocking the dancing of the possessed, the chanting of the shamans and the weeeping of the affected family.
WE all find this hard to believe because from our own experiences these things do not happen. In those parts of the world a belief in demons are strong and the battle is out in the open. Over here because our belief is weak they do not have to directly take us on and can opperate in the background and under the radar.
Medelling in the supernatural is dangerous. If you decide to battle and confront evil you become a target. These beings are very powerful, far more than ourselves. Never talk, mock, jest, or makefun of them. The only one who has the power to take them on the Holy Spirit. What you believe this is is up to you. Either way the forces of good are greater than thoes of evil. It is an eternal battle and we are smack dab in the middle of it.

hi. I would like to see your tape if you still have it.

The TLC channel will be airing the documentary on 10/29 at 3:00 eastern time. It is a realy good show, it scared me as much as watching the exorcist.

Wow You just got my complete attention. I really did think the show was very dramatized. I truly believe in all the family went through. I just didn't catch the ending (tv recording shut off early) and I thought if I went into a couple sites I might get how it ended? Your article was very interesting and it really helped me wake up from my boring state realizing that there is so much more that is important. Thanks

Dear John
I am very interested in this documentary. A close friend just told me that it showed on Reality TV recently. Unfortunately, again I missed out on it. Please consider sending me a copy, I will be the most greatful person on earth. Also do let me know how you want to send it and we can work out the postage costs. I am based in London. Thank you.
Obanda.

Hello there. I was wondering how much are you selling a copy of The Haunting in Connecticut? I love it!!! I have been trying to get a hold of it for a well now! Thanks for having it. How would I go about obtaining my own copy? Thanks a lot!

Sneesnasheo

I don't actually believe anything of whatever you see in the movie.
There would be plenty of reasons for Carmen Snedeker just to make up a story, as she probably made quite a lot of money with 'A Haunting in Connecticut'.
Some things you see are physicly inpossible, and if you saw the show you would know what I mean.

I have a paperback copy of the book "In A Dark Place" for sale if anyone is interested. Since it is so rare and out of print, I am asking $125...if anyone is interested, please email me @ scooby96254@yahoo.com.

Thanks

[font=Comic Sans Ms]A Haunting in Connecticut will be aired again on the Discovery Channel on January 2, 2006 from 11 AM - 1 PM.

I personally know Carmen Snedeker, the woman whose family lived in the demonically infested funeral home. I also know John Zaffis, who is the nephew of Ed and Lorraine Warren and one of the investigators who spent over nine weeks in the haunted house.

I believe their stories are true. John Zaffis is a man of high integrity ... and Carmen certainly did not make a great deal of money from the documentary.

I cannot discount the fact that there were undoubtedly problems that existed within the Snedeker family. In the field of paranormal research, it is strongly conjectured that negative entities are attracted to locations where problems such as depression, anger, illness, alcohol and/or substance abuse exist.

FYI: A major motion picture about this story is being filmed during 2006 and will be distributed by Universal Studios.

Also, in conjunction with the film, Carmen Snedeker, John Zaffis and I are planning to co-author a new book that will tell the entirely true and complete story of what happened at the mortuary in Southington, CT.

I'd love a copy, my email is undercoverbrother_99@msn.com

If you still have a copy available, I would love to have one. My son's film teacher said it was one of the scariest documentaries she had ever seen and he is dying to see it.

I have seen most of these programs "A haunting" they are really good I have been tryign to get copies of all of them. The Discovery Ch had them on Friday nights I havent seen any new ones though lately. I hope they show more of these.

NONE of "A Hauntings" are lies! I acted in one recently. For a Haunting in Georgia, the crew spent three weeks with the family. They go really far to make sure it's accurate. Oh and in A Haunting in Conneticut, the people that were on the show wrote the book you dumb A$$es. It is for real, unlike that most haunted $hit. So check your recources before you go telling everyone something's fake. It most definitely is not. And in the very rare circumstance that it isn't would be because the people who are being interviewed are lying. Oh and B.t.w. it isn't shot in hollywood. :']

Hey....I am so very interested in a copy of this. I will be happy to pay you what ever it cost and the shipping. thank you sooooo very much. daryl

Dear John,
Could I please have a copy? could you email me it at: yodaloveselmo@hotmail.com
If not its fine.

Could some give me a free copyof A Haunting in Connecticut? email me at yodaloveselmo@hotmail.com thanks so much

Honey, on the Discovery Channel they have A Haunting show on atleast once a week.

Anyone at all?

Des anyone know when the next haunting in connecticut is on? my email is yodaloveselmo@hotmail.com

Amen to that!!! I KNOW the entire thing is a crock without ever looking at your link because I have heard Carmen Snedeker's STORY and happen to know from experience that it wasnt like that!! How do I know this, you ask? BECAUSE I LIVED IN THAT HOUSE!!!! And oddly enough - her dates SEEM to overlap the dates that I lived there!!! Dont take me wrong - the house is haunted - no doubt about that! BUT- she has BLOWN things WAY WAY WAY out of proportion!! I mean WAY out!! The worst thing that ever happened was a locked door swinging open or footsteps and voices where there were no people to make them. I am personally insulted by her sensationalism!

Yep the sometimes do, but for some reason they took of paranormal thursday ;( Anyways, i remeber watching A haunting show, it was about a little girl talking to Mr.Gordy, lol
