The Haunting in Connecticut (2009)
Some things cannot be explained.
When the Campbell family moves to upstate Connecticut, they soon learn that their charming Victorian home has a disturbing history: not only was the house a transformed funeral parlor where inconceivable acts occurred, but the owner's clairvoyant son Jonah served as a demonic messenger, providing a gateway for spiritual entities to crossover.
In The Haunting in Connecticut, consciousness is carried by the dead — a plane of “haunted house”. The story fights on E8 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing fear, death, possession, grief.
