2. You can probably rent it thru Netflix
Here's the IMDB listing. It's an excellent documentary made in 2001:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0301235/

IIRC, it played on the Independent Film Channel in my Time-Warner-monopolized neck o' the woods. So that might be another route.

Funny thing: I remember watching this because of the title. I thought it was a remake of the old horror movie "The Legend of Hell House," which has always been one of my faves.

Pam Franklin, playing the typical whispery, delicate psychic type: "God moves in mysterious ways."
Roddy McDowall, who barely escaped death on a previous visit: "So does this house."

In fact, that's one of the few movies about pSyKik phenomena that I can stand anymore. I tried watching Stephen King's "Red Rose" and it just annoyed me. Partly because King seemed to borrow a lot of PsYkiK hokum directly from "Hell House" (which was a novel by Richard Matheson before it was a movie.)

Oh, to be more specific, said hokum involves the classification of pSykIks into "mental medium," "physical," etc. etc. The whole bunch of them only rate one classification--"phony."
