“A Haunting in Connecticut” is a movie that releases on Friday, March 27. It is a story of the former funeral parlor in Central Connecticut. The house is in Southington.

“A Haunting in Connecticut” stars Virginia Madsen and Kyle Gallner. The original second-hand owner, who bought after the funeral parlor was discontinued, claimed the house had strange happenings in the 1980s.

“A Haunting in Connecticut” uses fictional names of the people and town to protect the privacy of the residents of the Southington home. However, the real names are used on the movie’s website.

The new owners, Susan Trotta-Smith and her family, found fans of the movie stopping by her house to have a look.

Trotta-Smith said they had never experienced any haunting there.
