Carmen Reed, the woman who inspired the hit film "The Haunting in Connecticut," shared her experiences living in Southington, Connecticut in the mid-1980s. Carmen Reed was living with four ********, her husband, and two nieces in the Southington home, which was a former funeral home.

Reed's son, who was undergoing treatment for cancer, began hearing noises and seeing things, including a "tall, thin man with long jet-black hair."

After Carmen's son was taken to a mental hospital, Carmen Reed began experiencing the haunting herself, among them mop water turning red; breathing, pulsing, mattresses; and banging on walls coming in threes.

A few theory's about ghosts:-



Many believe that non-reactive apparitions of people that seem to do the same things over and over are some form of energy-imprint on the environment. This type of ghost manifestation is known as a non-intelligent haunting or a residual haunting, and is called such due to the lack of interaction between the ghost and the living. This type of ghost is not dissimilar to a video playing over and over, ever seeming to repeat itself. Could these types of ghosts have been produced by strong thoughts created by people while living, and continuing to exist within the atmosphere in some form or fashion? This theory concerning ghosts remains unproven. We ponder if it is also possible that this type of ghost is just trapped in time, unable to communicate or interact with the living due to severe emotional trauma - a self-created mental prison, if you will. Both ghost theories regarding non-reactive ghosts will have to be worked on in the future to see which has merit.



Another type of ghost is called a poltergeist , which many believe to be the projected psychokinetic energy of a living person that creates movement of objects and various noises. Though the word "poltergeist" is German for "noisy ghost," this type of phenomenon is not attributed to ghosts by tho...

Though the word "poltergeist" is German for "noisy ghost," this type of phenomenon is not attributed to ghosts by those who have studied such accounts. It seems true poltergeist haunting activity is typically centred around a female adolescent in the home who is unwittingly producing the disturbance. The disturbance typically ceases over time, as the adolescent ages.



A theory regarding ghosts centers around the previously described condition the earthbound spirits find themselves in. For these reasons, we believe many a haunting occurs, as ghosts are suffering and in need of ********** in easing the emotional pain. We believe that we are finding most ghostly activity, such as noises, dreams, visible appearances, various disturbance, communications, touching, and even attacks (though rare), can all be explained by coming to understand the desperate minds of pained, disembodied spirits. They are simply people in need of spirit rescue.



In conclusion, other theories regarding ghosts do exist, such as ghosts being simply the creation of the overactive mind, hallucinations, carbon monoxide poisoning, exposure to low frequencies, etc; but we are seeing too many pieces of the puzzle come together that cannot be explained away in total by the various, skeptically theories. We ask ourselves the age-old question, "Do ghosts exist?

No such thing. People who claim to see them are forcing themselves into a placebo effect, or are mentally and physically strained in one way or another.

Once yr dead, yr dead.
Either this story was some kind of scam and wasn't true at all or the kid had a tumor in his brain that made him see things. Then Carmen exaggerated the things she was seeing/hearing in her head and was too scared to see the true source of the mop water and banging on walls etc.

I think there are a few incidents throughout history that have not been scientifically explained away. So, I think it is possible that a spirit is sometimes caught or reluctant to leave the living world. I have never had any experience with one that I know of. lol

I think the roman catholic church teaches its ok to believe in ghosts but your just
not supposed to TRY to contact them through witchcraft or hang out in a
cemetary like a nerdy pre teen.
