The Haunting in Connecticut is a 2009 American psychological horror film produced by Gold Circle Films and directed by Peter Cornwell. It is supposedly based on the "true story" of Carmen Snedeker as portrayed by the author Ray Garton in the book In a Dark Place. The film's story follows the fictional Campbells as they move into a house (a former mortuary) to mitigate the strains of travel on their cancer-stricken son, Matthew. The family soon becomes haunted by violent and traumatic events from supernatural forces occupying the house. Matthew is aided by Jonah (one of the spirits inhabiting the house), and eventually discovers the truth about the house's spirits. The story comes to a climactic resolution with the burning of the house and close escape of its residents.

The Haunting in Connecticut was a moderately successful film, grossing $76,501,870, and received the "generally unfavorable reviews" distinction from Metacritic. Gold Circle Films announced the production of follow-ups in the franchise: The Haunting in Georgia and The Haunting in New York but noted that neither "Georgia" nor "New York" are sequels to "Connecticut" and instead are self-contained films with unique characters.
