Seymour is a small area in the southwest part of the state, and locals have described it as charming.

and it has a very rich history.

It was originally called Shoestown, and was a Native American fishing community as it sits along the Naugatuck River.

The Paugussett Skattakook tribes inhabited the area until the 1600s when settlers took over the land.

Then during the 18th and 19th centuries, the area had an industrial boom.

And in the late 90s, when this story takes place, about 14,000 people live there and residents describe the town as quaint.

The Beckwith family seemed to agree.

One day, while driving around town looking for a new home, they found a house on Buckingham Road.

From the outside, the house looked perfect for the family.

It had five bedrooms and one bathroom, which fit their needs.

Bonnie and Sean called the real estate agent and arranged a tour.

As they viewed the home, Jennifer and Jeremy were excited about the idea of moving in.

Frances, however, did not like the house.

She told her family it gave her a bad feeling and did not want to stay there.

The house had been empty for a while and was listed at a very low price, which Bonnie and Sean thought was a great deal.

After the tour, they held a family meeting, and while everyone wanted to move in, Frances said she felt like the home was evil.

While there didn't seem to be anything in the physical realm that caused her to believe this, the feeling was too strong to ignore.

She asked her family to consider not moving in, but she was outvoted by everyone else, who were very enthusiastic about it.

So Bonnie and Sean put in an offer, and before long, the Beckwith family had their new home.

Unfortunately, Frances' feelings about the home proved true after the family moved in.
