About Haunted House -- and Big Ghost-Hunting Business Opportunity
“The Perron family — who were the basis for the books and movies — they held onto it until 1985,” said Kean. “It was sold privately to a family that owned it when the first movie came out.”
According to the house lore that was turned into a movie, the Perrons moved into the Harrisville abode in 1971 when they experienced paranormal activity —and reached out to “demonologists” to try and exorcise the property.
Now, the successful “Conjuring Universe” movie series — which this year saw the latest movie, “The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It” released, has helped make the house a popular destination for paranormal experts and ghost hunters alike.
“The current owners have owned it for a little over two years,” said Kean. “When they got it, they knew that they could open it up to paranormal researchers — there’s a whole world for that interest.”
Kean said now the Airbnb business at the reportedly haunted house has been booming for the couple, but as their primary residence is in Maine, they decided to sell.
He said the couple hopes that someone will be interested in buying the property for the bourgeoning ghost-tourism business.
