Product Description

As Seen On The Discovery Channel
The day Karen and Ed Parker move into their dream home, ominous clues of its chilling funeral parlor past greet them: crucifixes on doors, toe tags and coffin keys in the basement. Their 14-year-old son, Paul, claims he sees apparitions and hears voices. Soon, the house is plagued by dark forces that torment the entire family, and it will take a desperate call to Edward and Lorraine Warren--investigators of the Amityville haunting--to offer any hope of relief.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great!!!, September 23, 2008
A Haunting in Connecticut and A Haunting in Georgia were the two pilot episodes which led to the Discovery Channel series "A Haunting". Don't let that scare you away though because A Haunting in Connecticut is the best of the series, bar none. It's a story about a family who's teenage son gets cancer and to get him closer to his doctors they move to a house in Connecticut. When arriving at the house the parents, and eventually the children, realize that the house is a former funeral home, in which the previous owners still lurk in the basement!

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great one from Discovery Channel's Hauntings, August 14, 2008
I also love this one, just as much as a Haunting in Ga. like my other review. This one is the scarier of the two, though they both are pretty scary. I actaully read the book it's based on (In a Dark Place) in H.S. needless to say, it scared the HELL out of me! So, I'll let you guess how scary the documentary is! This one like a Haunting in Ga., also has real characters and a great story line. A family moves into a house that used to be funeral home,and strange things start happening to the boys who sleep in the basement. This one is so scary! Also, you finally get to see what the investigator saw when he comes to the house. Unlike, the tv version where he just talks about what he saw. If you want a great ghost story, also order this one! Warning: Don't show this to kids under 12, it will scare them too much!

5.0 out of 5 stars Spooky Stuff!, December 5, 2008
By Pamela V ""MS V"" (Mississippi Gulf Coast) - See all my reviews
  
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Anyone who has ever read "In a Dark Place" will recognize the story of the Parker family and their terrifying 3-month stint in a former funeral home/morgue. This video version is very good. As a person who actually grew up in former funeral home, I can testify truthfully that they are not all terrifying and infested with demons! (Ghosts, yes, but demons......no.)

As with the book, I have a hard time believing completely some of the details as being factual.

There are some things about the story that make me ask "huh?" For instance, even if you didn't believe in ghosts and spirits, would you really put your children down in the basement and expect them to sleep in what used to be a morgue? And when they began running up the stairs night after night, screaming and crying and reporting that they saw apparitions, wouldn't a parent feel enough sympathy to let them sleep on the pull-out sofa in the living room, instead of continuing to insist that they return to the basement aka morgue, to sleep?

I find it to be rather cruel myself. I mean, why didn't the parents take the basement bedroom and let the boys sleep upstairs? It is tantamount to abuse, in my opinion.

And no matter how much debt you had, would you still sleep in a place that molested its inhabitants? In a place that didn't allow you a simple nights rest? I mean, wouldn't Motel 6 look like a pretty good deal at some point? I wonder about those things.

So there are parts of the story that don't really add up. But overall, it's a great film based on a really scary book, and I highly recommend it to anyone who feels like being scared for a few hours!
