It was supposed to be the ultimate Halloween showdown, a battle for the soul of one of America’s most haunted homes. But just days before the October 31st foreclosure auction of the infamous Conjuring House in The Town of Burrillville, Rhode Island, the paranormal world was blindsided by a twist worthy of a horror film: the auction was canceled, the mortgage quietly sold, and the future of the house plunged into eerie uncertainty.
Now, with over $294,000 raised by Ghost Hunters star Jason Hawes and a mystery buyer lurking in the shadows, the question remains: Who really owns the Conjuring House? What do they plan to do with it?
The Conjuring House isn’t just a spooky backdrop for Hollywood—it’s a living, breathing relic of paranormal history. Built in 1736, the Round Top Road farmhouse gained notoriety after the Perron family’s terrifying experiences inspired the 2013 blockbuster The Conjuring. Since then, it’s become a pilgrimage site for ghost hunters, skeptics, and thrill-seekers alike.
But behind the creaky floorboards and cold spots lies a deeper story… one of ownership battles, spiritual unrest, and a community desperate to preserve its haunted heritage.
Enter Jason Hawes: Paranormal Protector
Jason Hawes didn’t plan to buy the Conjuring House. In fact, he resisted! It was not until former owners, employees, and residents reached out, pleading for help. They feared the house would fall into the hands of someone who would exploit its legacy, turning sacred ground into a sideshow.
So Hawes launched a GoFundMe campaign with a bold promise: to acquire the house, protect its history, and place it under the care of an LLC run by people who truly understand its significance. The paranormal community rallied. Donations poured in. The campaign has since reached $294,000 and continues to grow
The Mystery Buyer and the Vanishing Sale
Just weeks before Halloween, an anonymous buyer swooped in and purchased the mortgage note from Needham Bank. The move effectively halted the foreclosure, leaving the current unfortunate owner who is a Boston developer named Jacqueline Nuñez.
Nuñez, who bought the house in 2022 for $1.5 million, had run ghost tours and paranormal events until her business collapsed amid personal struggles. Her silence since the mortgage sale has only deepened the mystery.
Who bought the note? What are their intentions? And why the secrecy?
Hawes, blindsided by the sudden cancellation, now faces a chilling dilemma. Without a foreclosure, there’s no public auction. Without an auction, there’s no clear path to ownership. And without ownership, the house could fall into obscurity or worse, be closed off to the community that reveres it.
The GoFundMe remains active. The funds are secure. But the battlefield has shifted from public bidding to backroom negotiations. And the stakes? Nothing less than the soul of the Conjuring House.
Haunted Homestead Society’s Take
At Haunted Homestead Society, we believe haunted locations are more than curiosities but in fact cultural landmarks. They deserve respect, preservation, and storytelling that honors their legacy.
This isn’t just real estate drama. It’s a spiritual tug-of-war. A test of whether the paranormal community can protect what it holds sacred. And it’s a reminder that ghosts aren’t the only forces haunting these halls unfortunately it sometimes is greed, secrecy, and silence.
