‘Haunted’ farmhouse that inspired 2013’s The Conjuring hits the market for $1.2 million

The supposedly ‘haunted’ farmhouse that inspired the 2013 paranormal horror flick The Conjuring has been listed for sale for $1.2 million.

The current owners — paranormal investigators Jenn and Cory Heinzen — are parting with the spooky property and its 8.5 acres of wooded surroundings after living there for two years.

The notorious house in Burrillville, Rhode Island was at the heart of the 2013 horror movie, with its former owners, the Perron family, who lived there in the 1970s, serving as inspiration for the flick.

Photos show hand-dipped candles, bundles of dried herbs, and Raggedy Ann dolls propped up in several places.

Located around 40 minutes from Providence, the house has fourteen rooms total, with three bedrooms and one-and-a-half bathrooms.

Inside, there are plenty of nods to the past with wall stencils, hand-dipped candles, bundles of dried herbs, and an unfinished wooden staircase leading to a large, stone cellar.

Photos show an old library packed with books and — in a nod to the film — Raggedy Ann dolls propped up in several places. 

The house was originally built in 1763, though records date back only to 1836.

‘Every so often an opportunity presents itself to possess an extraordinary piece of cultural history,’ reads the house description from realty company Mott & Chace Sotheby’s Intl. 

‘The true story of The Conjuring started in this very house,’ it continues. ‘1677 Round Top Road is one of the most well-known haunted houses in the United States.’  

On film: From January 1971 until 1980, the home was own by Carolyn and Roger Perron, who were played by Lili Taylor and Ron Livingston in the film. They moved in with their five daughters, who reportedly started seeing ‘spirits’ there

Spacious: Located around 40 minutes from Providence, the house has fourteen rooms total, with three bedrooms and one-and-a-half bathrooms

Yikes! There would be odd occurrences, like doors slamming and beds shaking, with most of the ‘paranormal’ activity remaining harmless

But one of the spirits was angry and violent. ‘Whoever the spirit was, she perceived herself to be mistress of the house and she resented the competition my mother posed for that position,’ daughter Andrea Perron said

The property also comes with a booming business, with the Heinzens allowing paranormal investigators to spend the night. The house already booked up for 2022

From January 1971 until 1980, the home was own by Carolyn and Roger Perron, who were played by Lili Taylor and Ron Livingston in the film.

They moved in with their five daughters, who reportedly started seeing ‘spirits’ there.

‘Eight generations of one extended family had lived and died at the farm and some of them had never left,’ oldest daughter Andrea Perron said. 

There would be odd occurrences, like doors slamming and beds shaking, with most of the ‘paranormal’ activity remaining harmless. 

Several of the spirits were nonviolent, like the father, son, and dog they’d see at the top of the staircase, or the two men seated in their dining room who saw Carolyn and pointed at her.

Youngest daughter April Perron even claimed to befriend a spirit named Oliver Richardson who lived in her closet.  

But one of the spirits was angry and violent.

‘Whoever the spirit was, she perceived herself to be mistress of the house and she resented the competition my mother posed for that position,’ Andrea told USA Today in 2013. 

The family’s interactions with her were terrifying from the get-go. 

‘I was in my bedroom, about 5 o’clock in the morning when I had the first visitation,’ Carolyn recalled. ‘I opened my eyes and saw the most frightening thing I have ever seen in my life. It was a very tall woman. Her head was like a sack of cobwebs with little tendrils of hair hanging out.’ 

In the movie, the Perrons hired ghost hunters Ed and Lorraine Warren to investigate the property and rid it of the spirits who lurked there

Terrifying: They discovered that Bathsheba Sherman had owned the house in the 1800s. A satanist, she had murdered her young daughter as a sacrifice to Lucifer, then hanged herself so that she could stay and haunt the house forever

Deadly: The Warrens also claimed there had been other suicides and accidental deaths there over the years

Oh no! Though the exorcism in the film never happened in real life, the family does recall the night Carolyn was allegedly possessed by Bathsheba

Horror: Andrea said that the Warrens showed up with a priest, a medium, and others to hold a séance that night, and the children watched on in horror as their mother was ‘possessed’ by the spirit

‘My mother began to speak a language not of this world in a voice not her own. Her chair levitated and she was thrown across the room,’ Andrea said

They also recalled some dangerous moments, including a hanger flying at Carolyn’s head, a scythe coming off a nail where it hung in the barn and almost severing Carolyn’s neck, and one of the girls being smacked to the floor by an unseen hand. 

In the movie, the Perrons hired ghost hunters Ed and Lorraine Warren to investigate the property and rid it of the spirits who lurked there.

But Andrea told The Providence Journal that it was actually a local paranormal group that enlisted them, and the Warrens showed up one day with no warning.

‘Mrs. Warren came into the house knowing nothing,’ Andrea said. ‘She stepped into the kitchen and said, “I feel a dark presence, and her name is Bathsheba.”‘ 

Through research, they discovered that Bathsheba Sherman had owned the house in the 1800s.

A practicing satanist, according to the Warrens, she had murdered her young daughter as a sacrifice to Lucifer, then hanged herself so that she could stay and haunt the house forever.

The Warrens also claimed there had been other suicides and accidental deaths there over the years. 

 ‘She was possessed,’ dad Roger confirmed. ‘Her entire body was distorted… And it lasted several hours, until [the Warrens] de-demonized her. And then I threw them out’

Loving it: The Perron family didn’t move out until 1980, and the current owners, Jenn and Cory Heinzen, have embraced their spooky encounters in the house

Sharing: To be on the safe side, the Heinzens have made a point of being respectful to the potential ghouls, by going to them to approve renovation plans

Who’s next? The Heinzens hope to sell the home to someone respectful of the other inhabitants, who will continue to run the business

Someone’s intrigued! According to the listing, the home is already under contract

The Perron family didn’t move out until 1980, and the current owners, Jenn and Cory Heinzen, have embraced their spooky encounters in the house.

Jenn told the New York Post this year about how she was once eating dinner by herself in the kitchen and saw someone run by her.

‘I caught it by the left corner of my eye, and all I saw was a veil and a skirt and it just vanished into thin air. This had all happened in a span of three seconds, and I just sat there in complete disbelief not knowing what to do afterwards,’ she said.

To be on the safe side, the Heinzens have made a point of being respectful to the potential ghouls, by going to them to approve renovation plans.

Flashback: The Perron family, pictured, owned the house for about a decade and experienced strange occurrences

‘I’m looking for someone who will continue to run the business as we’ve started it,’ Jenn, pictured with Cory, said. ‘We bought the house hoping to share it with the world, and I feel like we have done a great job starting that’

The couple’s daughter Madison Heinzen, who currently lives in the house, has also built up a following of more than one million fans on TikTok after sharing clips from the property

Fun? Madison seems to enjoy the house’s history and the spooky touches

‘I don’t have the feeling of anything evil, [but] it’s very busy. You can tell there’s a lot of things going on,’ Cory added.

The property — which they bought for $439,000 — also comes with a booming business, with the Heinzens allowing paranormal investigators to spend the night. The house already booked up for 2022.
