The Conjuring House Legal Battle: What Another Court Win Means for the Fight Ahead
“The same discipline I apply when I walk into a reportedly haunted location — looking at the facts, examining the evidence, and not declaring victory until I've earned it — that's exactly the approach we've taken in this courtroom, and it's making a difference.”
— Jason Hawes
When I first got involved with the Conjuring House case, I knew it wasn't going to be simple. These things never are — whether you're investigating a haunting or fighting for what's right in a courtroom. But I'm happy to report that we've had another significant win in court, and tonight I want to sit down with the community, answer your questions, and talk about what comes next.
A lot of you have been following this case closely, and I appreciate the support more than I can say. For those just catching up, the legal proceedings surrounding the Conjuring House — the Arnold Estate in Harrisville, Rhode Island, made famous by the Warrens and later the Hollywood franchise — have been ongoing, and they matter not just to me personally but to the broader paranormal community. What happens with properties like this sets a precedent for how investigators, owners, and the public can interact with historically and paranormally significant locations. Today's ruling was another step in the right direction, and I'll be breaking down the details during tonight's live stream at 8:30 PM EST.
Now, I want to be clear about something — because if you've followed my work since the early days of TAPS, you know how I operate. I don't sensationalize. I don't jump to conclusions. The same discipline I apply when I walk into a reportedly haunted location with a thermal camera and an EMF reader, I apply to everything else I'm involved in. That means looking at the facts, understanding the evidence in front of me, and not declaring victory until I've actually earned it. This court win is meaningful, but the case isn't over. I'll say more tonight.
What I can tell you is that the momentum is on our side. The legal arguments we've put forward have been holding up, and the court has been receptive to the core issues at stake. I've always believed that if you approach any situation — paranormal or otherwise — with integrity, with documentation, and with a genuine commitment to the truth, that foundation is hard to shake. That's been the approach here, and it's making a difference. I'm proud of the team working on this, and I'm grateful to every one of you who has shown up to support the process.
Tonight's live stream is going to be a community hangout first and foremost. Bring your questions, your theories, your opinions — I want to hear all of it. We'll talk about the court developments, we'll talk about what the Conjuring House represents as a location and as a cultural phenomenon, and we'll talk about where things go from here. I've always believed the paranormal community is at its best when it's having honest, open conversations, and that's exactly what tonight is going to be. Whether you're a longtime TAPS supporter or you're just now finding your way into this world, there's a seat at the table for you. I'll see you at 8:30.
This fight is far from over, but every win matters and this one is no exception. As always, I'm going to keep approaching this the same way I approach every investigation — with the facts leading the way and the community right there alongside me. See you tonight.
