Well, it's sort of based on true events. But keep in mind that in making the movie, they took liberties and added a lot of fictional details to make it more exciting and scary.
Definitely not. 'American Haunting' is purely fictional. The creators came up with the plot and elements to provide a spooky and captivating viewing experience rather than drawing from real events.
Well, 'An American Haunting' which is based on a true story often delves into the psychological and supernatural elements of a real - life haunting. It could be about a family that experienced terrifying events such as objects moving on their own, cold spots in the house, and a general sense of dread. These events were likely documented or passed down as a true account and the movie tries to portray that in a fictionalized yet somewhat accurate way.
