Hellrider I watched a program on the Discovery Channel, called "A Haunting in Connecticut". This was truly the most scary story of a haunted house I have ever seen.
Hellrider, I remember seeing part of this last year. I couldn't watch the whole thing, cause I was getting pretty creeped out as I most definitely believe in demons and ghosts.
However, since there are two well known, supposedly true "supernatural" movies out where we all got royally duped (Amittyville Horror, which was nothing more than an insurance scam by the Lutz' and The Blair Witch Project which was also totally bogus), I do not automatically believe that A Haunting in Connecticut is a true story. The fact that the people didn't have their faces on camera makes me highly suspicious. I mean, who the hell are these people? It could be Ted Jaracz and his cronies for all we know.
Second of all, I find it incredibly hard to believe that any parents would force their terminally ill son to sleep in a basement (along with his brother) when they both complain of being terrified at night with all the weird stuff they were seeing and then take the freaking lightbulbs out!! Come on.......that borders on child abuse regardless of whether or not the parents believed them or not. I got a few further scenes in. One was where the family (having decided that the boys had been telling the truth all along) were all sleeping in the living room and the one 'expert' decides to go downstairs to see what's going on. If the story is true and if the family were being physically and mentally attacked by demons, then what idiot in their right mind would go downstairs, by themselves in the middle of the night and then be shocked when something bad happens?! Can you say DUUUUUHHH??? If it was that bad, why didn't they just pack up and LEAVE??
I think Eddie Murphy said it well years ago while doing his stand up comedy routine "....Why do white people stay in the house when there's a ghost? I would've bin gone! In the Amityville Horror, the ghost told them to leave----the white people stayed!! Now that's a hint and a half for your ass! It's very simple: if there's a ghost in the house, get the f**k out."
