Ep 20: The Snedeker Family
On the 20th episode of Legend Samm and Amy discuss the story behind the movie The Haunting in Connecticut.
There is surprisingly a lot of controversy behind some paranormal cases. This one is definitely no exception. From terrifying sexual assaults to voices, shadows, and even other worlds, you never know what you could be moving into. Did the Snedekers really know that they were moving into an old funeral home? Was this all just a ploy to garner sympathy and money for their eldest son’s cancer treatments? Or… was something dark really lurking in the in the home? The Warrens would have us believe that it is demonic.
Find out, as we discuss the ins and outs of this terrifying story.
“Make it up if you have to. Just make it scary.”
