In 1986, The Snedeker family lived in an old white duplex house in Southington, Connecticut. The family includes Allen Snedeker, Carmen Snedeker and a cousin and three sons.

Nothing happened in the house untill Carmen Snedeker witnessed many weird happenings , in particular, some tools used by Morticians were found in the basement while she visit the rooms in the basement. The most shocking thing they came to know was that the house was once a funeral parlour.

They moved to the house in Connecticut because of the sake of  treatment for their oldest son Phillip Snedeker who has been suffering from Hodgkin's Lymphoma. They thought that the hospital bill would decrease if they rented a house nearer to the hospital.

After some days, Carmen Snedeker witnessed that some of the items in their house started to disappear. Since then , the family started seeing some uncanny events like their children experiencing strange apparitions, hearing unusual sounds and the sounds of more than a hundred birds taking flight. Her oldest son who is being treated for radiation began to expose the radical personality shifts. Then , he was arrested for an attempt to rape his cousin.

When the family handed him to the police, the evaluation results showed that he was suffering from schizophrenic disease . They amputated him from the house for his treatment and waited for him to return when his treatment results were better.

The Snedeker family reported that both Carmen and her niece were subjected to repeated rapes. They said that mob water in their house was turned red and an unpleasant rotting flesh smell pervaded through their house.

Carmen Snedeker said that she saw a figure with black hair and black eyes, a figure with white hair and wore a pinstriped tuxedo.

Finally,  the famous Ed and Lorraine Warren couple involved and investigated the case. When they explored the house with other paranormal investigators, they claimed that the house was possessed by demons. They told the family that the house have to be exorcised.

Then, a horror novelist called Ray Garton was contracted to write a book based on the terrific events which were happened in that house. According to Garton, he said it was quite rare that all the family members utter the real events. When he met Ed and Lorraine Warren, they told him to exaggerate the events happened there with fiction.

He wrote the following on April 27, 1999.
“He told me not to worry, that the family was ‘crazy.’ I was shocked. He said, ‘All the people who come to us are crazy. You think *sane* people would come to us?’ He knew I’d written a lot of horror novels prior to that, so he told me to just make the story up using whatever details I could incorporate into the book, and make it scary.”

After the house was exorcised, the Snedeker family lived there for two more years and then shifted to Tennessee. Carmen Snedeker became a " spiritual adviser",  and,  their children are now grown and even have their own kids. Phillip Snedeker has four children . She passed on January 9th, 2012, due to the malignant immune cancer.
