Earlier this week, the real-life Conjuring house got sold for a whopping Rs. 11 crores ($1.5 million) with one condition – the new buyers can’t live there year-around. The new buyer Jacqueline Nuñez, was quoted in local reports saying, “I came to visit and thought, ‘I have to have this house,’”.
Owner of Wonder Group LLC, Jacqueline was chosen by the original homeowners for sharing the similar passion and belief for the paranormal. For a whopping $1.5 million, the new homeowners can now get themselves acquainted to the supposed evil that lurks behind the 300-year-old walls of the house.
The sale was announced earlier last week on Thursday on a Facebook live. The original owners, Heinzen family, and the new owner Nuñez, were seen sitting in the “seance room” of the Conjuring house. The same spot, where prolific paranormal investigators Ed Warren and Lorraine Warren had tried to exorcise the spirits away from the home in 1974.
Such is the dark yet lush legacy of the house, that its hauntings inspired Andrea Perron, the daughter of the Perron Family, who suffered repeated hauntings about 50 years ago, wrote a book about the matter. The house also inspired the cult-favorite The Conjuring, released in 2013, and its subsequent sequels.
The Facts of the Matter
The trope is elementary yet essential – a house as old as time itself, a family of loving parents and adorable children moving in the house, and the house unleashing the worst of what lurks in the shadows of nightmares. From The Conjuring, to The Sinister, to The Haunting of Hill House, Hollywood has time and time again scared audiences with this simple trope.
However, the simplicity of the trope has led to incredible buzz around paranormal investigation. And investigators are now willing to paying through the nose to live a few nights at a haunting property.
