About 2 years ago, he went into remission from throat cancer. Shortly after, his live-in girlfriend shot and killed herself in front of him. I'm just wondering how he's doing now.

I've wondered for years just how far she was willing to go to use her son's troubled past to get attention for herself. I think Mom needs to drop it, too, elizabeth marie.

As a child I had a friend that had a basement bedroom we loved it. My problem is they kept moving family members in and out when she didn't have enough room for her own children upstairs. Why didn't they family members get the basement? Taking the light bulb out at night, knowing how scared those boys were to me that is mental child abuse. As for the hallucinations, when you are on meds for cancer especially high doses of chemo could cause hallucinations. I read where the Garton man that wrote the first book stated that he talked with Philip, that all of the symptoms stopped when placed on medication. What if when you turned your T.V. on , the documentary is on. Philip Never could get away from the pain of the story. You tell someone how bad they are, they start believing, and acting out. This followed Philip all his adult life, from a previous post I read how he treated his family. He could have sought treatment, maybe he felt it was to late. I read in the obituary that Philip had four sons. I hope that they don't have to go through life with people reminding them of the story of A Haunting in Connecticut. i hope that Carmen will let it go, that she will quit making her speeches and doing interviews.I hope she cares more for her Grandchildren than the money. It she would stop promoting the books and movie eventually it will die down. Everything is a matter of public record. Maybe what Philip put his family through was because of the abuse he suffered as a child. Everything that you read or see on T.V. about how bad someone treated their family usually goes back to their childhood. My problem wasn’t with the boys living in the basement.

Most families would probably put the kids in a basement room. I had a basement room and so did my sisters. The only difference is, of course, here they claim the basement was haunted. Otherwise, nothing really wrong with sleeping in the basement. I am sorry to hear that Phillip was not monetarily compensated for his story being dramatized again and again. I've always gotten the idea that this whole thing was Mom's way of promoting herself, regardless of what was best for her kids.

I was told this by Philip himself. I didn’t know Philip that well. I know what Philip told me that Allen Snedeker wasn’t his real dad. He said that as far as the book and the movie he didn’t really want to talk about either, he didn’t want any part of the movie. Was Philip tortured because of the publicity from the books and movie? He blamed the Snedeckers for his problems. Being a teenager is hard enough, can you imagine having to go through cancer treatments, and being forced to live in a basement, with the light bulb took out of the socket, he and his brother were in total darkness. My question is why didn’t parents take the basement? Why would they move other family members in when they didn’t have room for their children? You can go to Carmen Reed’s fb page read from the beginning of his death some of her she contradicts herself. She states that Philip cancer had returned, the same post she states that he wouldn’t go to the Dr. It really doesn’t matter what caused his death. What matters now is that everyone will let him rest in peace. I hope that Carmen doesn’t try to make any more money off of him. As for Philip’s spirit , The bible says 2 Corinthians 5:8 (King James Version) 8We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. This is my belief when you pass from this world your spirit is no longer here. I believe in demonic spirits. However I believe that when you are covered in the blood of Jesus nothing can come between you and that blood. Mark 5: 1- 20 When Jesus cast the demons out of the demon possessed man at the tombs, never again did it mention that he became demon possessed again. I would like to see these questions answered: ( 1) Why was the boys made to sleep in the basement area? When The Snedeker’s could have took the basement as their room. ( 2 ) Why was other family members being allowed to move in the house and live upstairs? ( while the boys was having to sleep in the basement.) ( 3 ) How did Allen Snedeker treat his step son? ( 4) Did Philip and his children ever receive any money from the movie? As of 2009 Philip Snedeker had not received a penny from the movie or any of the books. I was told this by Philip himself.

By making up this BS & using him as a child who did have cancer to make MONEY.. Sounds to me like his Mother & Family did the talking for Phillip. Cause he never interviewed with NO ONE. & If he finally went off the deep end I say who could blame the poor guy. I feel sorry for his 4 boys. They lost their father. & they had not seen him in a very long time. & he DID NOT try to see them or pay child support. I think Carmen should be ashamed of her self for pushing this BS on her son, PHILLIP RIP... If your so called family will allow that for you. Cause sounds to me like your Mother is still talking about ghost. & now you are the GHOST instead of you were the one seeing GHOST as a child. Let it rest people just let this man be.

It makes me angry that studios and publishing companies, not to mention his family, profited off of what, in my opinion, was a mentally-disturbed teenage boy. I wonder how much money ever drifted down to him? I'm sorry to hear that Phillip had to live with the stigma of being the Kid Who Lived in the Haunted Funeral Home.

Carmen and Allen appeared on SJR, and it was only her and Tammy, the eldest niece, on A Current Affair. As a matter of fact, the latter program made no mention of him. Phillip was a shy person who liked his privacy, and felt tortured by everyone bringing up his behavior as a kid. It was clear he grew out of his dark phase, and enjoyed hunting and spending time with his sons. The Snedekers are extremely saddened by his death. Phillip was never featured in interviews.
