Hi workingstorage-ga,
Thanks for your question. I remember this movie well.
The film in question is called The Haunted and was a made-for-TV
production starring Sally Kirkland, Diane Baker and Jeffrey DeMunn.
Based on a real life story of the Smurl family in West Pittston, PA,
the movie depicts the haunting of the Smurl family. Incidentally the
paranormal investigators they called in were the Warrens who gained
fame from their involvement in the Amityville house.

It actually aired this past Sunday (January 19) on the Sci Fi channel.
Although that does you no good, since they have the movie in their
library, its highly possible they will show this again. Its not
scheduled for February, but it may air in the upcoming months.

If you choose the option of waiting for the movie to air again, this
is a really handy site to determine when a film will air. You simply
enter the name of the actor (either Diane Baker or Sally Kirkland
would work) and youll get a list of when and where, what films of
that actor are airing.
