Yes! I was 10 when the book came out, and saw the film in the theater. I have always doubted elements of the story, but was fascinated by the whole Americana mythological haunted house he said, she said mess of it all.

Now I have to go watch the Ryan Reynolds version, lol!

I’ve seen many movies about those ghost hunters or mediums, with the doll? I wonder if she is related to this case. Also, Poltergeist was a complete ripoff of this story, no?

Actually, weird enough, Poltergeist was based off another family on Long Island: the Hermanns!
