BURRILLVILLE, R.I. — The infamous Rhode Island farmhouse that inspired The Conjuring is going up for auction on Halloween. Known as one of America’s most haunted homes, the property has drawn ghost hunters, horror fans, and the curious from around the world.
The 1826 farmhouse gained international attention after the hit 2013 horror movie The Conjuring, which shared the experiences of the Perron family, who lived there in the 1970s and reported terrifying paranormal activity.
For years, the house has operated as a tourist attraction, with paranormal investigations, overnight stays, and public tours. The property appears on the JJManning Auctioneers website as a “mortgagee’s foreclosure auction,” meaning it will be sold publicly by the lender due to the borrower’s default on mortgage payments.
The home last changed hands in 2022, when Bale Fire LLC purchased it for $1.5 million, according to land records. The company is run by Jacqueline Nuñez, a self-described medium who has faced disputes with the town over the past year.
Trouble began surfacing in July 2024, when Nuñez fired an employee after claiming the spirit of the farmhouse’s 19th-century owner, John Arnold, told her the manager was stealing.
Months later in November of 2024, Burrillville officials revoked Nuñez’s entertainment license, citing problems with the property, her town application, and concerns stemming from her interactions with local police.
Comedian Matt Rife and YouTuber Elton Castee, friends who recently bought the Connecticut home of famed paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, have been vocal about their interest in acquiring “The Conjuring” house.
