Book Synopsis:
It is a case that stunned the world. In 1981 a legion of devils, 43 in all, invaded the home of an unsuspecting Connecticut family and possessed their youngest son. Then it got worse. The spirits had come to take a soul. And take it they did—in a bizarre, out-of-control murder that violated the very rules of God. Here Amityville demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren reveal the facts the courts refused to hear. Judge for yourself why The Devil in Connecticut is considered to be one of the worst cases of possession in the twentieth century.
Additional Notes:
This was also the story in which the Discovery Channel based one of its episodes of the television show "A Haunting". It was called "Where Demons Dwell", and was the sixth episode of the second season. Wikipedia also has a link dedicated to this case, which was also known as the "Demon Murder Trial". Here is that link:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demon_Murder_TrialAlso worthy of note, the original children involved in the story have recanted their entire story. Today, they claim there was no possession, and that everyone was just crazy. They are also suing Lorraine Warren and Gerald Brittle for writing the book, claiming that the family was promised "millions" of dollars. In total, the family was paid a grand total of $2,000. Personally, I believe they have just become money hungry, as this story contains FAR too many details that would be impossible for a "mentally unstable" 11-year old boy to invent, not to mention the fact that there were 6 Catholic priests involved, and several witnesses to all of these events. You be the judge.
COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS: People believe that the movie "The Haunting in Connecticut" was based off of this story. That is 100% false. That was an entirely different family, with an entirely different story. This is not the same story, AT ALL. In my opinion, "A Haunting in Connecticut" doesn't hold a candle to this story. Not at all.
