However, the claims that he was haunted by the malevolent man led to a diagnosis of schizophrenia.
Carmen says that Philip started playing harmful jokes on the family, such as locking his brother inside a trunk. Philip would claim to have no memory of doing such things after they happened.

Carmen and Allen reached out to the clergy and several paranormal investigators.

The family begins to crack under the stress of Matt's illness and bizarre behavior. Wendy and Matt find out that the funeral home was run by a man named Ramsey Aickman. Nicholas theorizes that Aickman was practicing necromancy in an attempt to control the dead and bind them to the house. That night, Nicholas finds human remains in the house and removes them.
Matt awakens to find Aickman's symbols carved into his skin. He is taken to the hospital, where he encounters Jonah. Nicholas and Matt begin to have simultaneous visions. The barely alive Aickman told Jonah to get out of the house, concerned that the demonic presence would kill him next. Jonah uses a dumbwaiter to escape, calling for help.
Jonah enters an unknown chamber and realizes he has entered the crematory. The spirit traps Jonah in the crematory and cremates him alive. Peter and Sara learn that Matt's cancer treatments have had no effect. They then discover that Matt has escaped the hospital. At home, Nicholas leaves a message telling the family to get out immediately — Jonah's spirit protected them from the spirits.
Matt breaks through the walls in the front room with an axe, revealing the dusty corpses Aickman hid in the walls. He forces Wendy and the children to get out, barricading himself inside and tearing down the other walls as corpses begin to tumble into the room. The view switches from Matt to Jonah, who seems to occupy Matt's body. Matt lights the bodies and the room on fire.
Later on, investigators arrive at the house only to find it engulfed in flames. As the fire department arrives, Sara and Peter frantically try to get in to save Matt. The spirits, finally freed, disappear. Outside, everyone watches tearfully as the emergency crew attempts to revive a dying Matt. As Matt slips away, he sees himself standing in the graveyard where he sees Jonah, no longer appearing burnt.

Garton was hired by Ed and Lorraine Warren to work with the Snedekers and write the true story of their house from hell. He interviewed all the family members about their experiences, and soon realized that there was a problem: "I found that the accounts of the individual Snedekers didn't quite mesh.
