‘The Conjuring’ Home Sold For $1.5 Million With A Creepy Stipulation
Most homes with an eerie backstory have trouble selling, but not the estate that inspired The Conjuring. The home just sold for a cool $1.5 million, proving someone wasn’t afraid to spend serious cash on this piece of horror movie history.
While it wasn’t the home featured in the 2013 movie, it did inspire the storyline. Roger and Carolyn Perron moved into the Rhode Island farmhouse in 1970 and lived there for a decade with their three daughters.
During their time on the 200-acre estate, the family was subjected to a series of strange disturbances, which many people have chalked up to be the paranormal.
“I always got along with the spirits right from the start,” Andrea Perron, who was 12-years-old when they moved in, said of her time living in the home, Forbes reports. “I had moments of fear because I saw what was happening to my mom and to my family.”
The home last sold hands in 2019 for $439,000 when it was bought by the Heinzen family, who specialize in paranormal investigation. They planned to open up the home to visits from fellow investigators but have since decided to part ways with the infamous home.
Interestingly, the family put the home on the market with a strange stipulation – whoever buys it isn’t allowed to live in it year-round.
The Heinzen family listed the mansion last September for $1.2 million with Realtor Mott & Chace Sotheby’s International Realty. The listing says the farmhouse comes with 3,100 square feet of living space, which includes 14 rooms.
“Legend has it, the home is haunted by the presence of Bathsheba Sherman, who lived in the house in the 1800s,” the listing said. “To this day, countless happenings have been reported.”
Jacqueline Nuñez, a Boston developer with a strong belief in the supernatural, eventually bought the home for over asking price.
“I’m a deeply spiritual person. It’s a very important part of me,” she explained of her interest in the home. “I believe we are conscious beings having a human experience, and that our consciousness continues on, we are here to learn things in [our] lifetime and help our species evolve morally and culturally.”
Nuñez continued, “This house is an opportunity to connect with people who’ve moved on and died, that’s the interactivity here and the engagement with the people who have passed.”
It remains to be seen if Nuñez experiences anything that goes bump in the night once she takes possession.
