I was fairly excited for this even though the other "A Haunting" episodes I've seen have been a laughing stock. I read so many great things, and the high rating here on IMDb led me to believe that this was actually going to be a spooky tale. I already knew that this story had been debunked, but it didn't much matter to me; I treat all of these as works of fiction. Well, as it turns out, everyone was wrong. This story is far from creepy. It starts out fairly nice with an eerie setting as the house used to be a Funeral Parlor. Here's where it just gets ridiculous. Are we supposed to believe that expensive, dangerous and morbid equipment used on the deceased was just left behind? No way in hell. Are we supposed to believe that this family actually uses the freezer that held human cadavers for food? Right; though they seem nuts enough. Then we find out there's a demon in the house and Ed and Lorraine Warren (sigh) claim the portal to hell lies there. Yeah, that's the same thing they said with the other big name haunting-Amityville. (Yet another hoax they were involved in.) This story is just so over-the- top, it's downright silly. Far from disturbing as so many others claim. I suppose if you really believe in demons, exorcism, and fairy-tale deities, there's a chance you could maybe buy into their story. Otherwise, you'll be laughing the whole way through. Overall, it isn't even worth the couple of chuckles you get. I suppose it is disturbing in the fact that people believe this junk and that humans actually act this way in real life all for faith.

I saw this episode when it aired back in '02 and was totally sucked into the storyline within minutes. The combination of high production values, movie-quality direction, and terrifying storyline had me hypnotized. I've seen a LOT of horror movies over the years, but only a handful really had me looking under my bed.This was one of them.The narrator, Anthony Call, has a perfect campfire-story delivery that genuinely adds to the proceedings. After watching this episode I learned to never buy a house that was once a funeral parlor. Even if you don't believe in the paranormal, give this fine TV series a chance. You won't regret it. Oh, and I dare you to watch it alone. On a stormy night.In the dark. heh heh heh

I saw this movie a few years ago while visiting a friend in Arizona. I regret saying that this film has haunted me, literally, since then.I don't really like to discuss or think about things that have happened to me since seeing this film. Is it possible for this evil to have followed me? Trust me, I'm not crazy. Basically, I've had "night terrors" since seeing this film. My wife is already in the habit of waking me up, with force, when I begin screaming with the feeling of somebody trying to suffocate me.The most horrifying thing that has happened was when I saw a hooded evil presence standing next to my bed.Well, I won't say anymore except BE CAREFUL if you choose to watch this!

I made the serious mistake of watching this feature length documentary shortly before going to bed. I did not sleep at all that night.This is the allegedly true story of the Parker family, whose eldest son is terribly ill and requires frequent hospital visits. In order to be closer to the hospital where he receives treatment, the entire Parker family move into a new home which is a shorter drive from the facilities. It is also conveniently located quite close to a cemetery. The house itself is a large, impressively grandiose estate, but when Mr. and Mrs. Parker head downstairs just after purchasing the home, they discover a basement room filled with an odd assortment of surgical tools and a large freezer. To their horror, the couple realize they are standing in a disused embalming room. The house was once a funeral home.Having sunk their life savings into the purchase of their new home, The Parkers have no choice but to go ahead and move in. They decide to conceal the history of the house from their children, but odd things soon begin to occur. A kitchen floor stubbornly refuses to be cleansed of a vicious pool of blood. The sickly teenage boy, Paul, begins hearing voices, and all of the children see phantoms and shadows moving throughout the house. Paul's temper begins to fray and he grows increasingly violent. Not even removing him from the house seems to help, which his parents do after he attacks his own cousin. Instead, the forces inside of the house shift their focus, and the demonic displays of physical violence and destruction reach explosively frightening levels. By the time a team of parapsychologists arrive to investigate, it is almost too late. This is a very eerie documentary, and incredibly well made. The mood throughout is suffocatingly dreary and filled with unrelenting dread. The performances are all quite good and somehow, genuine fear is infused into every frame. Whether it's the discovery of the embalming equipment in the basement, or a face-to-face encounter with a black-eyed demon in the darkness, this documentary will leave you with a sinking feeling of horror in the pit of your stomach and an overwhelming urge to glance around your immediate surroundings during the commercials, just to make sure there is nothing lurking in the shadowy corners.I really had not intended to stay up and watch the entire program, but it hooked me easily and kept me watching late into the night, despite the fact that I had to get up early for work the next day. I didn't sleep that night anyway, and kept my bedside light on all night long. That's how unsettling I found this program to be, and I don't scare easily.If you like ghost stories, historical accounts of haunted houses, and having the holy old crap scared out of you, watch this show the next time it's run on TV. It's one of the best shows of its kind I have ever seen. Be sure to catch its companion piece: A Haunting in Georgia, as well.
