The Haunting - The Excorcism
Lorraine Warren says she felt an evil presence in the Southington home and experienced the haunting herself when she spent a night there "In the master bedroom, there was a trap door where the coffins were brought up," she said. "And during the night, you would hear that chain hoist, as if a coffin were being brought up. But when Ed went to check, there was nobody down there."
A Catholic priest was enlisted to bless the house and even perform the sacred rites of mass inside the building, but after three days of peace the haunting had returned with a vengeance. Carmen and her husband Al were both attacked by the demonic force with objects thrown at them by unseen forces, mysterious scratches appeared on the children's bodies. Finally, the decision was made to conduct an exorcism on the house. During the exorcism the researchers witnessed dish's rattling the picture frames shaking and mysterious loud banging from within the walls, but following the ritual, "the house definitely felt lighter and the smell of roses came upon us we all felt a sense of calm and relief," John Zaffis remembers.
The Snedeker family resided in the haunted house for two-and-a-half years before finally moving. To the best of her knowledge, Carmen states, "no one who has lived there since their family left the premises has experienced any paranormal activity."
It has been almost two decades since these events took place. Since that time, Carmen has been "approached" by negative forces, but her unwavering faith and unflinching courage have kept the evil energies at bay.
"No one will ever really know why the house was haunted while we were there," Carmen said. "We did discover, however, that one of the men who worked in the funeral home was guilty of necrophilia, so perhaps his heinous actions stirred up the demonic forces."
"This was one of the most significant cases I've ever worked on," John Zaffis says, without hesitation. "It proved to me, beyond any doubt, that demonic forces are very real."
