Trick or treat? 'The Conjuring' house listed for auction on Halloween

BURRILLVILLE, R.I. (WPRI) — The renowned Rhode Island farmhouse, spotlighted in the hit supernatural film “The Conjuring,” is set to go on auction on Halloween.

This historic homestead in Burrillville is currently listed on JJManning Auctioneers under a “mortgagee’s foreclosure auction,” a type of public sale where properties are sold by lenders following the borrower’s mortgage payment defaults.

“This antique farmhouse that has become famous for historical paranormal sightings and activity,” auctioneers wrote in the listing.

Town officials, as of Friday, have confirmed the auction’s timing for Oct. 31, aligning perfectly with Halloween. This date seems particularly appropriate given the house’s appeal to ghost hunters worldwide.

Land records reveal that Bale Fire LLC purchased the property—which spans eight and a half acres—in 2022 for $1.5 million. The company is run by Jacqueline Nuñez, who identifies as a medium and has encountered numerous challenges within the community over the past year.

Nuñez turned the site into a popular attraction, inviting guests to experience paranormal activities and offering overnight stays for a fee. However, tensions began last August after Nexstar’s WPRI reported that Nuñez dismissed an employee, claiming the spirit of the property’s 19th-century owner, John Arnold, accused the manager of theft.

This dismissal led to a legal dispute over unpaid wages, with other former staff members coming forward with grievances against Nuñez. By November, Burrillville authorities rescinded her entertainment license, citing problems with the property’s management, her license application, and her dealings with local law enforcement.

Nuñez, however, refused to cancel trips to the property that had already been scheduled, which ultimately left many visitors in a lurch and scrambling to recoup funds after spending hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars to visit the property.

Nuñez has also had personal disputes with other people from the paranormal community, including “Ghost Hunters” TV star Jason Hawes, who ended up filing a police report alleging Nuñez was harassing him and his family.

Nuñez could not be immediately reached for comment Friday evening.

The latest development that the home is heading for auction, however, will likely come as welcomed news to comedian Matt Rife and YouTuber Elton Castee.

The two friends — who recently purchased the Connecticut home of famed paranormal investigators Ed and Loraine Warren — have been pushing to buy the “Conjuring” house.

Rife told WPRI last month: “As a fan of the paranormal, film, and the history of the property and the land it sits on, it’d be an honor to help preserve its beauty.”
