6. Haunting in Connecticut
The Snedeker family moved into their new family home in Southington, Connecticut in 1986. The draw of their home, which they rented, was that it was close to the University of Connecticut Hospital where their son was receiving treatment for Hodgkin’s disease. It was not until after they had already moved into their home that the family learned the house used to be a funeral parlor.
The family discovered old items from the home’s past left behind, including toe tags, funeral pillows, a coffin trolley, and a body lift that opened into a bedroom. The Snedekers’ son claimed to hear voices, see shadows streak across the walls, and some family members claimed to be touched by unseen hands. The chains from the body lift could also be heard throughout the night.
Famed ghost hunters Ed and Lorraine Warren investigated the property and eventually a cleansing was performed by the Catholic Church. Several priests were involved in the ritual. The family is not allowed to disclose what occurred during the cleansing, but they did say that the cleansing did have an effect. Regardless, the family chose to eventually leave the house.
