In 1986, when the Snedeker family (Allen, Carmen, their three sons, a daughter, and a niece) moved into their simple white duplex home at 208 Meriden Ave. in Southington, Connecticut, they were surprised to find it used to be a funeral home. In the basement, they found mortuary toys like a hoisting apparatus for moving coffins, a medical gurney, blood drains, and even toe tags.
It wasn't long before the Snedekers were seeing all kinds of evil acts like sexual attacks, apparitions, and abrupt violent personality changes in their oldest son who was going through treatments for Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Connecticut demonologists, Ed and Lorraine Warren, who were made famous for their Amityville horror case, investigated the house and made the claim that it was “possessed” after launching a major media campaign.
Despite emerging facts surrounding troubling nature of the oldest son, who supposedly had a drug habit, not to mention suffer from schizophrenia, admitted to the phenomena that went on in the house. The upstairs neighbor survived the incident, the author, Ray Garton, who was hired to write the story for the Warrens and Snedekers, was apparently given conflicting stories from the Snedekers and even more shocking was told to ignore the stories in favor of sensationalizing the story.
The Snedeker family story continued in popularity even after the 2002 documentary released on television. And in 2009, it rose in popularity when the story was released in theaters.
After the Snedekers moved out of the house, no reports of supernatural activity have been reported by any of the subsequent owners.
