For those of you who have seen the "A Haunting in Florida" episode, I may have found an answer to this haunting. I used a physic for this (my grandmother). When I saw this episode, Dusty used a psychic, Kelly Weaver, to find a possible answer. So I decided to send a photo of the the real house to her. Her response was almost the same as the other psychic, but more detailed. When she first touched it, she got headaches and lots of chills going down her spine. Many decades ago lived a family. A husband and wife, along with two children(don't know their genders). The husband was basically pyscopath. He had major control issues. He was dangerous and was making threats to his wife. She tried to tell everyone this guy was insane, but no one believed her since everyone thought he was such "nice" guy. Although the children weren't harmed, he murdered his wife. Based on the show, the man Edd Dunnam saw on the bed was the husband and the old woman Beth saw was the wife. The wife is trying to warn people and get help from them. The husband doesn't want anyone in his house and tries to get rid of them, either through scare tactics or physical harm. An example of this would be that entity going over the baby's cage. The dragging noises and other sounds are all repeats of the murder being played over and over again.

Before I end this message, I just want to make it clear that this passage isn't 100% accurate, although my grandmother seems very confident on what she senses from this house. My computer is a piece of junk, so it's very hard to get online. I'll try to answer any questions as soon as I can.

Hello Snake Eyes. Not sure if you're still a regular visitor to this site but I felt like replying to your post. I watched this episode of "A haunting in Florida" very recently and I must say that was a hell of a story. I'm glad you tried to provide an answer to this phenomenon as Discovery Channel failed to do so.

Without questioning the capacities your grandma seems to possess, I wonder if it can be true if the family of the psychotic husband and the wife he murdered lived there many decades ago. What I read about Deltona was that it's a relatively new commuters town that was founded in 1963 by the Mackle Brothers, who were very much involved into large scale real estate projects. The first people to move into this town were mostly young and single families. In the show it was suggested that Doris "Dusty" Brown (the paranormal investigator) did some research on the former inhabitants and found out that an elderly couple had died in taht house. Too bad Discovery Channel didn't do a little more digging on that...

Hello Earnest. To tell you the truth, I really do think this happened. I don't know if you've read the book, "Dread and the Dead Filled the Dunnam House", but when I put this story with all of the evidence from this haunting, it sorta makes since. Honest, it freaked me out to reread the story with this information put in. The descriptions of EVP's, photos and video footages kinda map out how the murder takes place. My grandmother said that this house is VERY dangerous and wouldn't recommend anyone going near it. As for the mysterious prescence of other entities, Dusty did say in her book that Edd and Beth had used a ouija board when they first moved into the house and Edd asked the board for the spirits to come on out. And they did just that. This could explain the prescence of a portal under the roof. The reason I believe my grandmother is she used to help with murder crimes and she was pretty accruate. However stuff like that and hauntings really disturb her. Even this haunting disturbed her. That's why she won't help out with other hauntings. But like you and everyone else, I wanted to know the answer to this haunting, so that's why I asked her. So, I seem pretty satisfied with her psychic impression on this haunting.

Thx for your swift reply. I never doubted that the Dunnam family did indeed experience a supranatural phenomenon. And apparently of a most evil kind. I myself experienced a couple of unexplainable events, albeit not as spectacular as in this case.

I'm willing to give your grandma the credit that she made accurate analyses before. But if we assume that the deceased couple that haunts the place now, lived there not sooner than the '60s surely it shouldn't be too hard to investigate their identities and history? I like these series but my only pet peeve is that at times I feel they leave some questions unanswered while a minor investigation could have provided a few possible answers. Just my two cents.

Well, my grandmother did say something I did not understand. "This took place in the house, but in a different house, on the same property." Maybe it means possibly a different home existed there in a different time. So the murder may not have been documented. I don't really know for sure. I wonder if the wife's body is buried somewhere on the property? I guess we'll never know for sure...

Sorry to double post, but the elderly couple that lived there died as an accident. The elderly women died while suffocating in her sleep and the elderly man died to to a heart attack in the master bathroom.

If that couple lived in a more remote timeline it would surely be an impossible reconstruction as to find out who they were and how their lives must have been. Judging by the clothes these apparitions wore in the show, it seems plausible they could be traced back to the days of the pioneers.

And if we assume those people led a life of loneliness and hardship, it could very well be that their bodies were buried somewhere in the vicinity. Maybe they didn't even get a proper burial. And maybe my imagination is going wild now

Sounds like a good explanation to me.

Thanks for believing this story guys! It's nice to see that people are reading this as apposed to thinking it's all nonsense. I only wish my grandmothere would help out in other hauntings. Oh well...

I would like to know were is the deltona haunting at? Because I live here and i would love to see the place for myself so who ever knows were's at please tell me. My name is Javier Rodriguez

(It won't look like the house in the "A Haunting" episode.)

I lived in deltona and saw the house after watching the episode on tv. i also lived in a haunted house on baton dr in deltona. it had the exaact same black ghost or whatever it was, and it would come and go it seemed. i saw it only once,but felt its presence all the time on and off for a year i lived there. one time it said something. gave me real bad feeling when i felt it thats how i knew it was there. but strangly it was only on one side of the house, the other side i would not feel it, so i know for a fact its true, i saw it first hand. and so happens its only about 1 mile from the house on tv.

I just got finished watching this episode and I have always wondered what they do with houses like that when people cant live there. Do they keep allowing people to move in the house or do they eventually condemn it.

I was wondering the other day if you could just burn the house down to nothing but ash and rubble, let it sit for a while before clearing it out, and then build something new on the site. Would the new structure also be haunted or would the ghost have left? Probably depends on the nature of the haunting though.
