Summary

In the 1980s, the Snedeker family moved into a seemingly ordinary house in Southington, Connecticut—only to discover it was a former funeral home. Almost immediately, they were plagued by terrifying paranormal activity: unexplained voices, shadow figures, and physical attacks.

Desperate for help, the family turned to famed demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren, who declared the house to be infested with demonic forces. The Warrens claimed it was one of the most powerful cases of possession and haunting they'd ever encountered...

But was it truly supernatural—or something else entirely? Join us as we explore the chilling events behind the Snedeker haunting, the Warrens’ investigation, and the controversy that followed—including claims of hoaxes and Hollywood exaggeration...

Based on the case that inspired The Haunting in Connecticut, this is one ghost story you won’t forget
