Other phenomena that were reported by the Snedekers included the repeated and brutal rape of both Carmen and her niece, as well as acts of sodomy being performed on her husband, by unseen entities. He was removed from the house and seemed to get better until returning. His family had him arrested and taken for an evaluation, where he was pronounced schizophrenic. During one intense episode he attacked his cousin with the intent to rape her. He brooded and began writing poetry with necrophiliac themes. Her oldest, who was at the time in the middle of radiation treatment, began to exhibit radical personality shifts, becoming withdrawn and angry. Not long after, Carmen says she began experiencing strange phenomena, like items disappearing and her children reporting seeing strange people in the house, as well as hearing voices and the sounds of hundreds of birds taking flight.
