In 1992, the Snedeker family appeared on the Sally Jessy Raphael show to share the horrors that resided inside their Southington, Connecticut home. This now infamous TV interview catapulted the already controversial family into every living room in America.
The family moved into the former funeral parlour in 1986, and experienced such horrendous paranormal activity they turned to famed ghost hunter Ed and Lorrain Warren for help. Their story was so iconic and notorious that it was the subject of the 1992 book "In A Dark Place", as well as the inspiration for the 2009 movie "The Haunting In Connecticut", and endless TV shows, documentaries, and articles.
However, as famous as the story is, it has never been told the same way twice. In this episode Ed and Lorraine's grandson, Chris shares with us, his firsthand account of working on the Snedeker case. You may think you know the story, but have you heard it told by someone who was actually there?

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
