Seventeen years ago, a husband and his wife learned they were expecting twins. They set out to purchase a house within which to raise their growing family. In the fall of 2006, they settled on a modest home in the town of Enfield, Connecticut; however, things were not at all what they seemed. They blindly forged ahead with the purchase, unaware of what was waiting for them inside.After moving into the home, they begin to experience strange occurrences. They contacted their local church and asked the priest if he could do a house blessing. They explained that something frightening was in their house, perhaps a ghost. He sternly replied that there are no such things as ghosts or Demons.He blessed the house from top to bottom and proceeded to turn the knob to the door to the attic. As he began up the stairs, he stopped, unable to move. He backed up and spread holy water over the stairs. Slamming the door, he turned and left the property, telling the owners to ignore it. It would go away.This was the beginning of their nightmare.Over time, the paranormal activity spiked. They invited paranormal investigators into their home in an attempt to find someone who could help. Their lives were about to change. After an investigator was picked up and thrown down the hall, they made a call to Lorraine Warren. They told her that they had witnessed scratching, biting, and levitation. Lorraine replied, " You're leaving something out". They told her that one of their investigators had gotten picked up and thrown down the hall. Lorraine paused and said I cannot come out to that house ever.She offered to help the family by phone and would never step foot in that house.This week on the Paranormal Project, we will talk with the owners of the Enfield Demon House in Enfield, Connecticut.

Evidential Medium Scott Allan and Actor/Filmmaker Robert Neal Marshall (House of Cards, The Wire, Countdown To Ground Zero) found each other when Scott interviewed “The Haunted Collector” John Zaffis on his KGRA radio show, “The Paranormal Project.” Among his many roles, Marshall had played Zaffis in several episodes of “A Haunting,” but the two had never met. After Scott invited Robert onto his show to meet the real-life person he portrayed, Scott learned that Robert was also a near-death survivor, following a heart attack ten years earlier. The two realized they both shared more in common than previously thought and quickly became fast friends. Long before meeting his grandmother on the other side during his NDE, Robert had psychic/mediumistic tendencies from an early age. Scott had his own opening as well, experiencing a frightening ghost story with spirits that haunted him day and night until he learned how to control his mediumship and keep these spirits at bay. Robert and Scott have now teamed up as co-authors to take us on an emotional journey, sharing how they each discovered special connections to something outside the ordinary. Both were given a unique window into a realm, so often the source of much doubt and confusion, yet is truly an everyday part of us all. Their interactive autobiographical play affirms life is truly eternal. Providence of the Heart stimulates the imagination, hopefully inspires, provides comfort, and perhaps offers a greater insight that life is more than what we have been taught to believe. If you are fascinated by near-death experiences, past lives, mediumship, ghost stories, or simply seek answers for unbelievable “coincidences,” then this show is for you!
