In 1998, the Beckwith family moved into a house in Seymour, Connecticut, expecting a fresh beginning.
Now, the property was old, 19th century almost, and reportedly repossessed, and had been left vacant for more than a year.
Now, its unusually low price made it an opportunity for the family that, you know, maybe we can start afresh, get a new place, and start everything from the very beginning.
But the house would soon become associated with a series of disturbing experiences that led the family to seek help from Ed and Lorraine Warren.
Now, what makes the case particularly unsettling is that the family's story reportedly began with a warning.
Now, before the family moved in, Bonnie Beckwith's eldest daughter, Francis, expressed an immediate dislike to the property.
Now, Francis reportedly felt that something was wrong with the house, despite having barely seen it.
The family had found a home they could afford, and there appeared to be no reason to abandon the purchase because of an unexplained feeling.
But the experiences subsequently described by the Beckwith would turn the decision, turn that particular decision, into the beginning of a frightening chapter in their lives.
Now, the family's young son, Jeremy, reportedly experienced disturbing incidents at night.
Account of the case describes strange noise, frightening presence, and disturbances involving his bedding.
His experiences became an important part of the family's growing concern because, of course, he was a child who was experiencing all of these in his very own bedroom.
The bedroom, a place where a child should feel safe, was associated with events that left him frightened.
For parents, few things are more distressing than being unable to explain why their child is afraid in his own home, in his own bedroom.
They started describing having unusual occurrences, including unexplained sounds and seeing shadowy figures and apparitions.
As these experiences accumulated, the family came to interpret that the events are the evidence of a haunting, that now they are being haunted by something supernatural.
Now, the distinction between an isolated disturbance and a haunting is important.
