The Haunting in Connecticut is a film based on a true paranormal experience of a family named Snedeker, who had moved to a former funeral home in Connecticut in the 1980s. They reported really disturbing experiences and visions of dead bodies, as well as malignant spirits. Paranormal investigators claim that the house had been haunted by spirits of people who passed through the funeral home. Despite questions about its legitimacy, the movie has a very chilling atmosphere with supernatural elements that make it a success.
