The Warrens believed that the haunting was caused by a malevolent entity that had been awakened by the Snedeker family’s presence in the house. They identified the entity as a former mortician who had worked at the mortuary that had previously occupied the site.
The Warrens performed a series of exorcisms in an attempt to rid the house of the entity. The exorcisms, which were conducted over several days, involved prayers, rituals, and sacred objects, such as holy water and crucifixes.
The story of “The Haunting in Connecticut” has inspired numerous books, films, and TV shows. The 2009 film “The Haunting in Connecticut,” directed by Andy Muschietti, tells the story of the Snedeker family’s experiences in the haunted house.
