FINALLY an episode worthy of the Paranormal Witness legacy...

There's a difference between things being left out from editing and someone with a growing list of narrative issues every time they tell their story. I'll give you a for instance with the classic Connecticut haunting.

Ol' Carmen Reed (Snedeker) has all kind of details that come out with each telling. I've seen five different shows of varying lengths, plus read many articles and interviews, and every time she has some glaring inconsistencies. Now, even I can admit and make provisions for much being victim to edits and time contraints between, say, the 2hr A Haunting premiere special, the Real Fear segment on Chiller where she talks to the Real Fear people at the museum where some artifacts from the home are supposedly kept, and the 1hr episode within this series. The differences in length and how each program is edited will surely distort the narrative in some manner.

What it won't do, however, is cause such stark inconsistencies as her saying that she drove some 300 miles to see the home while her husband was at work (A Haunting, 2002 special) and her initially waiting in the car while her husband checks the place out first, at her insistence, before joining him in looking it over (Paranormal Witness, 2012). Until this episode aired, everything I'd watched and read from Carmen stated she rented the home without her husband guidance. He wasn't involved until after the home was rented.

It also doesn't explain how, in 2002, they had no clue the place was formerly a funeral home until they had moved in yet in 2012 they had it figured out before and begrudgingly moved in because there was nowhere else suitable for them to go.

In previous versions, she's getting the place ready to move in all by her lonesome and, when she goes to clean the floors, the water turns to blood. Here, they're moved in, she's had no experiences, and the kids claim blood is coming from the walls. She's all "Pshaw, y'all just seeing paint that dried when it was running. There's no such thing as ghosts."

She states all the crucifixes disappeared in this episode and yet she's showing off one of the supposed crucifixes in Real Fear claiming the evil forces had burned off the head and hands.

She's also fond of leaving out that there were other tenants in the home (having been converted into a duplex) that lived upstairs who never never saw or heard anything.

Ray Garton, who wrote the book on the alleged haunting, is on record as stating: "Their son, around whom their entire story centered, was nowhere to be found. I never met him. I was allowed to talk to him briefly on the phone, but as soon as he started telling me that the things he "saw" in the house went away after he'd been medicated, Carmen abruptly ended the conversation."

So yes, while it's impossible to tell every bit of a story years after the fact, one has to admit that sometimes it's just repackaged BS.
