Andrea Perron’s family lived in the allegedly haunted house between 1971 and 1980 and experienced many supernatural activities.
The haunted house that was featured in popular 2013 horror film The Conjuring has been sold for $1.5 million.
The house, built in 1736, is located on an isolated estate of 8.5 acre, which is 40 minutes away from the city of Providence in the US’ Rhode Island.
It was sold by Jenn and Cory Heinzen, who bought the house in 2019 from Andrea Perron for $4,39,000, on Thursday. Perron’s family lived in the house between 1971 and 1980 and claimed to have experienced many supernatural activities. The Perron family sought the help of paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, based on whose accounts the film was made.

The new owner of the home is Jacqueline Nuñez, a real estate developer who lives in Boston. As reported by The Wall Street Journal, Nuñez hopes to collaborate with Perron and use the property as a “learning centre” where interested parties can “connect with the spirits”.
While talking about the purchase, Nuñez told the US newspaper, “This is a very personal purchase for me. When it hit the market, I thought ‘this is a property that enables people to speak to the dead’.”

person who bought it plans to keep the paranormal tourism business previous owners started. in 2019, so it’s likely this contingency is just marketing.

Andrea Perron, who lived in the house from 1971 to 1980, says she experienced harrowing encounters there. At a séance, Miss Perron saw her mother levitating and then being thrown 20 feet. She says she hit her head so hard that she thought she was killed. https://t.co/tBAovyd6aX pic.twitter.com/HCppHiuSwr

Interestingly, Nuñez’s future plans are in line with what Jenn and Cory Heinzen did with the farmhouse. The couple had rented the property to paranormal investigators. They told the newspaper that one reason why they sold the house to Nuñez was that they wanted someone who would use the property to continue the business that they started. Among their conditions was that the buyer should not stay overnight in the property, “in the interest of their own safety”.
