The Conjuring Haunted House Sells For $1.5 Million, 27% Above Asking Price
The first film is based on a true event, and it centres on one of Ed and Lorraine Warren's most well-known cases. The Perron family, who move into a farmhouse in Rhode Island in the early 1970s and suffer frightening happenings, is the subject of The Conjuring. Of course, The Conjuring takes artistic licence in order to scare audiences, but many of the supernatural incidents in the film are said to have occurred in real life, such as the scene in which Lorraine's mother, Carolyn Perron, levitated in her chair after Lorraine performed a seance. In real life, the Warrens did not perform an exorcism as they did in the film, which caused Roger Perron to distance his family from the paranormal investigators. Due to financial constraints, the Perrons remained in the house with the spirits until 1980, when they finally moved out.
Jenn and Cory Heinzen, who purchased the home in Harrisville, Rhode Island, in 2019, sold it for $1.525 million, according to The Wall Street Journal. The Heinzens are paranormal investigators who have been conducting business out of their home for a few years. After offering the house for $1.2 million, the couple reportedly received multiple high-end bids, but many of the possible purchasers declined to be interviewed prior to purchase. The homeowners eventually opted to sell The Conjuring mansion to Jacqueline Nuez for $1.525 million, which is around 27% more than their original asking price.
