She too cut off contact with the Warrens because of the same reasons as Ray. Phillip the son with cancer was not included in this interview.

I believe there are true hauntings and I’ve even seen an orb in broad daylight floating over a cemetary before I knew anything about them. I don’t believe anything made for TV or Movies or entertainment purposes can be 100% actual or it would be a documentary. I liked the movie and thought it was made well.

I am grateful Ray and Carmen continue to do well and have moved past this experience. It is at least interesting and intertaining.

@ Brian- Christopher Columbus was the first to know the world wasn’t flat and discover America if you believe it the way historians had told it. We have a federal holiday dedicated to someone who didn’t even find NORTH America. He also was not the first person to sail overseas or realize that the world wasn’t flat, yet in school they use outdated and fabricated textbooks that make the US look better and of course that we’re always right and we’re always the good guys. College history has been a big eye opener for me from the crap they feed people in middle school and high school.

Everyone says Garton has nothing to gain by telling his story- but it is getting him publicity. It helps him get himself out there as an author- and promote his next books just like he does here in this interview. He never fails to mention in each interview about his own background as a writer of fictionized horror stories.
People are more interested in his story and finding out the truth. Does he really do all these interviews for free? Hey, its a small price to pay for free publicity for his new book or even some of the old ones.

As for the kid being sick, I’m not surprised that the neighbors didn’t know.. Its a serious illness and some people keep that type of stuff as a family matter; not wanting pity from everyone. The happenings that occurred with him may have been a combination of his radiation treatment and paranormal stuff. Maybe things were happening, but the medication made it much more intensified than what it was. Then again, not everyone in the house could’ve been on this medication and seeing things, then again you never know these days.

Garton says that everyone in the area knew the house was an old funeral home, so the Snedeker’s should’ve known right? Of course I noticed he didn’t mention WHERE the Snedeker’s were from. They were moving to Connecticut, so it would be safe to think they may have been from out of town.
As for the homeowner telling them, maybe he’s the liar to cover his own ass since all of the publicity.

I’m not saying these people are the real deal and that EVERYTHING they say happened, happened. It could just be an overdramatization of what REALLY happened- but that doesn’t mean that nothing ever happened there. The only people who will know what really happened is them.

There have been articles that state that nothing has gone on before or after in that house. There are many people who are just immune to the paranormal. They can live somewhere and never feel the slightest shiver or bad feeling, where someone more sensitive will have that uneasy feeling about the house.

The newspaper articles covering the story in 1988 clearly stated that it was Hodgkin’s Disease. It sounds like Ray wants us to believe HE made up the type of cancer, and Carmen just stole his idea when she re-tells the story. Am I the only one who thinks Ray might be using this as a way of receiving publicity for himself?
