The Haunting in Connecticut
Thursday, January 22nd, 2009• Almost 20 years ago, the Snedeker family moves into a suburban home in Southington, Conneticut. The rent was a bargain – the house was previously a funeral home.
• Two of the sons were subjected to living in the basement: the former basement morgue was now “the boys’ room.” Apparently morgue equipment was still stored/abandoned in the basement.
• Members of the household reported odd smells and seeing and hearing odd things. A religious family, they ascribed these incidents to demons.
• The eldest son, who lived in the morgue/basement, underwent significant personality changes: becoming angry, moody, and dark – including writing poetry about necrophilia [link]. The eldest son is eventually institutionalized for a period of time.
• The family welcomes paranormal investigators and a priest into their home. The priest exorcizes the home, expelling the “demons.”
• This series of events has produced a book “In a Dark Place”, a Discovery Channel documentary, and soon a feature film “The Haunting in Conneticut” [trailer below].
* NOTE: Mortuary embalming commonly entails the use of phenol, methanol, formaldehyde, glutaraldehyde, and ethanol. Some of these are notably carcinogenic, most are toxic, and prolonged exposure to some of these can cause delirium/hallucinations.
Yeah.
Demons.

Mission Accomplished Bonus Round:

A note of clarification:
Dear Trolls,
This is not intended to represent the actual physical state of Iraq today. We have overlooked the images of the droves of Iraqis frolicking in peace for the sake of sarcastic emphasis. And likewise, we actually used a photograph of late actor Jack Palance to portray a weathered George W. Bush. We know you are all smart enough to understand the message: our nation (and Iraq) has had a rough time these last few years.
Grow up.
Love, Timbo.
