I actually remembered seeing the 2 hour long documentary on Discovery Channel, with interviews with the actual family, the Parkers. From the trailer, I'm guessing that the film took some liberties changing the story to make it more suspenseful and scary, but honestly the doc was scary enough without the adlib of the film writers. And if I'm not mistaken, I think that this documentary, along with A Haunting in Georgia helped launch their popular 1 hour long series A Haunting.
For those who haven't seen the documentary, I've added my playlist of the original documentary here so everyone could get a better, more factual telling of the story. It's YouTube video, so the doc is broken down into 9 segments, but if you can get over that little aggravation, then I think you will all enjoy it.
