In A Dark Place

Maria Grazia has recently interviewed the author of In A Dark Place. This book was published several years ago and is about the young boy who lived in a former funeral home. His story was documented in A Haunting in Connecticut and features Ed and Lorraine Warren. Here is a snippet from the author claiming he was told to fabricate the story:

"As I gathered all the necessary information for the book, I found that the accounts of the individual Snedekers didn’t quite mesh. They just couldn’t keep their stories straight. I went to Ed with this problem. "Oh, they’re crazy," he said. "Everybody who comes to us is crazy. Otherwise why would they come to us? You’ve got some of the story – just use what works and make the rest up. And make it scary. You write scary books, right? That’s why we hired you. So just make it up and make it scary." I didn’t like that one bit. But by then, I’d signed the contract and there was no going back. I did as Ed instructed – I used what I could, made up the rest, and tried to make it as scary as I could. The book was called In A Dark Place: The Story of a True Haunting."

I have never been a fan of the Warrens so this was no real eye-opener for me. I have always found their "work" to be very sensationalist, and extremely difficult to believe and now I know why.

I have seen the televised account of that haunting years ago, it smacks so clearly of lies and fiction that I am surprised that anyone bought into it at all.
I've been in many funeral homes & never had even a hint of creepy (unless you count the living funeral atendees).
