Fans Flock To Real Home Of "The Conjuring"

Fans of James Wan's scare fest summer hit "The Conjuring" are making life tough for the couple that owns the Rhode Island home made famous in the movie by the "true story" of the haunting that occurred when another family, the Perrons, lived there in the 1970s explains The Woonsocket Call.

The Perron Sisters And Their Movie Counterparts

Norma Sutcliffe and her husband have owned a 1730s-era home in the suburb of Harrisville for twenty five years.

Sutcliffe says she and her husband haven't slept in days as people with flashlights turn up in their yard in the dead of night. They also frequently receive calls asking "is this 'The Conjuring' house" as well as other harassing phone messages.

Sutcliffe adds: "There are already threats on the Internet that 'wouldn’t it be fun to break into that house?'. Our barn is very vulnerable and there is a big story connected to the barn about supposed hangings. Can you see kids breaking in and doing a séance with candles and having it burn down?"

While the so-called "real life incidents" of the film took place there, the production itself was shot far away in North Carolina.

Sutcliffe has seen the film and says "I just laughed at the whole thing. I thought it was so ironically ridiculous. I thought it was an insult to the Perrons."
