    For those familiar with the show "A Haunting" on Discovery you should know by now it's some creepy shit. For those who dislike it, read no more. This is for the fans.

    I wrote this brief review such a looooooong time ago, when the theatrical movie was just in pre-production. I'...( read more)m sending this now cause they just actually added the documentary movie to the flixster site. I saw this documentary in 2002 around Halloween time, way before the movie was even in talks. I believe it was one of the first of "A Haunting" series. You should all watch this first before the movie to get more on the real story. The movie may suck, it may not suck...but who really knows till then? But anyway, this is not my review on the movie but only for the documentary itself...

    "The documentary of the true story that this movie is based on aired on the Discovery Channel lots of times. And let me tell you, it was some truly horrifying stuff. I haven't been that scared watching something for quite some time, but this nail-biting documentary definitely did the trick. Try watching this alone at night, the documentary that is, and tell me what you think!"



    Here's the link to where you can watch it (here's the first part to where you can get started)...

    Copy and paste this:

    Like I said, watch it alone!

    Fantastic! I watched this back in '04 or '05, or whenever it was released on the Discovery Channel =D I loved it then, and I love it now!

    Has a nice creepy vibe to this. The acting and everything else to this was so much better than most supernatural documentaries and of course I like hearing from the particepating parties involved as well even with there faces hiding in the dark. Not a real big fan of the Warren's...( read more) but this was still an excellent documentary. Lots of detail and it kept my interest for most of the time. Much better than the movie.

    This is the Discovery Channel Documentary, not the movie "The Haunting in Connecticut". In any case, I think I liked this better than the movie (even though I haven't seen the movie yet). I like things real...and scary. This DVD did that for me. Wow!

    Seems like when they t...( read more)ake these fact based stories and make a movie about it, it gets all messed up. They try too hard to make it seem scary, and it just doesn't work for me.

    I will look for more of these Discovery Channel DVDs from now on!

    This is actually better than the movie. It's more realistic and scary.

    As for the 'based on a true story' subtitle which crops up quite often in horror films nowadays; its hard to know what really happened and what was fabricated for entertainment. However, i stopped watching horror films in recent years because they have been riddled with special e...( read more)ffects and gore, but, this film i made an exception for. I enjoyed it and i would watch it again. I am usually quite biased towards supernatural horror films, but even horror-sceptics will enjoy this!!

    This is the 'true' occurrences without all the Horror Fluff that Hollywood movie this is based on (and man did they add a lot).
