A Closer Look at the Paranormal Activity Video | The Snedeker Case 1988

Let's take a trip back to 1988 to take a closer look at alleged “demonic activity” courtesy of Ed Warren, the self-styled demonologist who’s never been to a house where he couldn’t find a demon.
Before we get into the footage, I take you on a timeline of events surrounding the Snedeker case - the inspiration for the book, In a Dark Place, and the 2009 horror film, The Haunting in Connecticut.
The Warrens promised to show the alleged paranormal activity footage to Ray Garton, author of In a Dark Place, but that never happened. Years later, the footage was used in a 2000 TV documentary, World’s Scariest Ghosts: Caught on Tape. We’ll take a look at what was presented, break it down, and recreate it. Then, I’ll address an issue I haven’t seen brought up before - an accusation by Lorraine Warren about the Connecticut former funeral home.”

I did some.research into this case for my Ed and Lorrian video. And I was mortified about what they said about that family that serves their community through grief for 50 years. I'm going to be going further into Ed and Lorrain because they are held in such high regard and its all lies. All manipulative. Fantastic video as always Kenny.

Good, the sooner folks realize these guys were the primo supernatural grifters of an era, the sooner they can stop flooding all these platforms with their regurgitated garbage and at least get some new material out there.

[@manhattanmike6959]

Have you seen the David Glatzel documentary that came out not to long ago. He said that the Brookfield haunt of Arnie Johnson and David was a Hoax. David himself said it. Crazy

[@GhostsOnTrent]

This was a great educational watch, thank you Kenny 👍

[@daa5249]

He proved nothing really. He needs to do onsite research at hundreds of sites with said activity.

[@Kalyahna]

@@daa5249 He proved what he said he would prove - that the footage from that house could be easily and simply reproduced by normal, mundane, non-supernatural means. No demons necessary.

[@centaur7607]

​@@daa5249 I'm guessing you didn't watch the video? The author of the book about it had to make up a narrative because the family's stories all contradicted each other. Further, the video evidence isn't remotely convincing. It's super lame. Anyone could make those videos (and Kenny did). So, tell me why anyone needs to prove that these people were lying when they clearly fabricated videos and couldn't keep their story straight?

[@robinmoreau6668]

I live in Ct, only about a half hour drive from the conjuring house in RI. They also defamed Bathtilda in that case. Claiming she was accused of witch craft and killing babies when she did no such thing and does not deserve to have her name and memory dragged through the mud that way

[@MythosParanormal]

Another epic video. Heard you speak about a few things from this on lives but so much I'd never even heard of before. Very interesting!

[@SaraG80]

Great video Kenny, very informative and demonstration of 'tricks' on camera. The more I hear about the Warren's the more unsavoury traits of their behaviour is exposed x

[@Jackdelroy1]

There's always been people scamming others and faking the paranormal. Ed and Lorraine were just very good at it and lasted longer than many others.

[@gfitfitnessstudio]

I remember seeing that video of the child at the table back in the day and, being a child myself at the time, being entirely freaked out! Great job!!!!!

[@Adrian-ju7cm]

I've done my family history if someone said that about my ancestors they would be hearing from me

[@StefRosaWoods]

It's outrageous, isn't it. The Warrens were obviously projecting their own filthy thoughts onto people who were not alive to defend themselves.

[@lawrightlw]

Just found this channel and you are awesome!

[@ChrissyPhil]

Good video and very informative!!! ❤ your dog (doggie stole the show)😂

[@NYCHFAN]

Ed & Lorraine really cashed in on the "satanic panic" of those days. I remember all this, and the frenzy of the times. By the way, that Panasonic Camera is the exact same one us kids pitched in on and gave my father for his first video camera. 😊❤

[@redman4277]

Your dog stole the video lol Great job Kenny 👍

[@williamrunner6718]

Awesome research into this case and great work!

[@BelfastCrafty]

Really enjoyed this, although the stuff at the end about the funeral home is sick & twisted! How can they do that to people's reputation 🙈 I've watched quite a few of your videos, but sometimes they're a bit too technical & intelligent for me 🙊😂

[@skrom1980]

Love the video! Your puppy is so adorable ❤❤

[@davena79]

Hello, I'm new to your channel. Thanks for an informative and educational video. Very interesting. I really like your saying " never stop learning"

[@StefRosaWoods]

Even the doggo understands that moving furniture around with yarn is a bit weird. They really are too good for us.

[@CharaISTB]

Very good video buddy. You do your research :)

[@bernebuckingham438]

I am new here and look forward to watching your videos. Thanks in advance. Heard about your channel while watching Beardo.

[@majorpolo970]

Youve opened my eyes up even more thank you subbed right away ....can i buy a copy of your book ?..would love a read of it ..thank you going to binj on your channel now lol ...

[@SamBorgman]

Give me one example of such stories that are believable where there's a book and/or a movie, and money to be made in other ways. We should just assume cases like this are mostly made up if not 100% lies. Paranormal filed started as a money making scam and it still is. %99.9 of stories and evidences are utterly fake. And because of that now it is impossible to find %0.1 that was maybe real.

[@jh58547]

Note: the 0.1% is not real either. It's all fake.

[@SamBorgman]

@@jh58547 Yeah at this point if there has ever been anything real caught on camera it would be on surveillance cameras. Almost all of that footage never get looked at.

[@ScotchMist-lx1gk]

I believe that most genuine cases are never made public , certainly here in the UK . My relative lives in a haunted apartment and I’ve experienced weird things there ,but it’s kept within our family . I have another relative who has a haunted home . This proves to me that genuine activity exists everywhere, but isn’t exploited for money.

[@SamBorgman]

​@@ScotchMist-lx1gk Not only that, we're not walking around with bodycam 24/7. So most real events are not even captured. Genuine events definitely exist, I've seen it, my elderly parents have seen and experienced near death situations too. Back then home video wasn't a thing. Also from everything I've seen, real stuff happens in rural areas more than in cities for some reason. To support that, recently I read a scientific theory that "they" can't exist in urbanised areas where electricity and electronics are creating a lot of EMF. It was an article on some print magazine.

[@ScotchMist-lx1gk]

@@SamBorgman very interesting about rural areas , both examples in my family are in semi rural areas . Also , incidences of paranormal activity are infrequent and not predictable so would be almost impossible to record unless you had months to waste waiting . I must say ..they are worth experiencing!

[@jdsword5943]

“Roll that low quality film footage!”

[@Irish1Eric]

In the 17 years I've been doing the Paranormal investigating, I believe that it's my first priority to go into location and prove that it's not haunted do everything I can try to debunk everything I can to prove that there is no activity in the house. If something happens after that then you look into the paranormal.

[@danmisk5898]

Look. It is not paranormal, it is animal vegetable or mineral, within the laws of physics. Balance yourself, you'll see.

[@Irish1Eric]

@@danmisk5898 I am aware of balancing techniques yeah. But I respectfully disagree with it's all animal, vegetable, or mineral.

[@alexnorth9740]

The point was that if you go investigate a "paranormal claim", you try to disprove everything with science (and sometimes simple common sense) until you can't. Then you get other people, specialists in other fields, to do the same thing, using their own knowledge and expertise. That goes on until you cannot find any logical or scientific proof and/or means of recreating it. ONLY THEN can one claim that it COULD be paranormal.

[@Irish1Eric]

@@alexnorth9740 exactly. That is fair

[@SokMunkie]

Can you even find VHS tapes these days?

[@theyummydonut]

That wouldve been ripped apart nowadays! Thx Kenny

[@alexnorth9740]

You'd think that! Now look up "Cody and Satori", their scam and how much money and praise they get with something that has been done AND exposed as fraudulent in the eighteen hundreds. Yet here we are, people lap that shit up!

[@denise-cv7nl]

I enjoyed the movie but had my doubts- i used to live in a former morgue and it was insanely haunted but not to this degree, i then lived in a former funeral home and apart from hearing a crying lady on occasion, i heard/saw nothing. Ive heard he had a live in lover. Anyway, great video!

[@jh58547]

The morgue was not "insanely haunted". There's no such thing as "haunted".

[@denise-cv7nl]

@@jh58547 "ok"

[@twistedpuppetOG]

Didn't all the "poltergeist" activity start when the Snedeckers couldn't pay rent?

[@BrianYates-ue8hf]

Good morning from New England Beardo sent me over I've watched a few of your vids including the SLS one Although I'm a believer and experiencer since childhood I don't believe 99.5% of the stuff on Yt and SM Btw I live in Meriden Ct. (One town over from Southington) and I'm familiar with the case and the house ✌️🧐🤘

[@Will-nc7lp]

Interesting, but you are reaching with the table and chair phenomena. The first clip, yup it could be Ed, however I am not convinced by your debunk of the child on the chair.

[@centaur7607]

Yeah OK, so why did the child move with the table when the table moved? 🤨

[@Nalla762]

I was completely convinced since I used to do that myself, sitting at the table as a kid and being bored. It was easy and I didn't have my mommy standing behind me anchoring the chair.😅

[@Will-nc7lp]

@@centaur7607 because she was leaning forward and her feet were hooked on the chair.

[@centaur7607]

@@Will-nc7lp It's highly probable that she moved the table, which she was certainly capable of doing. It's highly implausible that an invisible demon moved it.

[@Will-nc7lp]

@@centaur7607 Based on what criteria? I have seen objects move and I can guarantee that they were not pushed. Just because phenomena is outside of your world view it doesn’t mean it’s not real or faked.

Great investigation! Now recreate the BS ghost demon video again, but this time shout "IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST AND THE BLOOD OF CHRIST" for dramatic effect 😂
