The Burrillville, Rhode Island farmhouse that inspired the 2013 horror film The Conjuring will be auctioned on Halloween. JJ Manning Auctioneers states: “This antique farmhouse that has become famous for historical paranormal sightings and activity.” The 3,000-square-foot home sits on 8.5 acres with no starting bid announced yet. The film was based on paranormal events experienced by the Perron family in the 1970s. Roger and Carolyn Perron lived there with their five daughters—Andrea, Nancy, Christine, Cindy, and April—for nearly a decade. The family reportedly encountered strange phenomena including foul smells, shaking beds, wall knocks, mysterious voices, and moving brooms. Paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren connected the disturbances to Bathsheba Sherman, who allegedly practiced witchcraft in the 1800s and cursed the land after sacrificing an infant on the property.
