The Rhode Island farmhouse that inspired the Hollywood horror film The Conjuring is going up for auction on Halloween.
According to JJManning Auctioneers, the Burrillville property will be sold in a mortgage foreclosure auction on October 31.
The house, known worldwide for its alleged paranormal activity , has long attracted ghost hunters and horror fans. Ed and Lorraine Warren, the paranormal investigators behind The Conjuring films, examined the farmhouse in the 1970s after the Perron family claimed they were tormented by violent hauntings.
The 8.5-acre estate last sold in 2022 for $1.525 million to Bale Fire LLC, a company run by Boston developer and self-described medium Jacqueline Nunez. She turned the 18th-century house into a ghost tourism business, offering overnight stays and paranormal tours.perr
But the venture quickly ran into trouble. In 2023, Nuñez accused her property manager of theft after claiming she received the information from a spirit, WPRI reported. That dispute led to a legal battle with former employees over pay and treatment. Later that year, town officials revoked her entertainment licence, citing safety concerns and irregularities in her paperwork.
Despite losing her licence, Nunez continued to run tours. Visitors complained of not receiving refunds for cancelled events, and she also clashed with figures in the paranormal community, including TV ghost hunter Jason Hawes, who accused her of harassment.
By this summer, the business had collapsed under financial strain, leading the lender to move for foreclosure.
Meanwhile, comedian Matt Rife and YouTuber Elton Castee, both known for their interest in the paranormal, have expressed interest in buying the house. The pair already owns another haunted property in Connecticut once linked to Ed and Lorraine Warren.
The Burrillville farmhouse remains a magnet for believers, who speak of shadows, whispers, and sudden chills.
