The Conjuring House Legal Battle: What It Means for the Future of One of America's Most Haunted Locations
“There's a lot of noise surrounding this place right now — some of it paranormal, most of it not. The community deserves straight answers, and that's exactly what we're going to have tonight.”
— Jason Hawes
The Conjuring House has been at the center of controversy for years — not just because of what people claim happens inside its walls, but because of the very real, very human drama playing out around it. Tonight, I'm going live to talk openly about the recent legal developments surrounding the property, clear up the misinformation that's been spreading through the community, and answer your questions directly. If you've been following this situation, you know there's a lot more to this story than most people are reporting.
I've said it a hundred times — I go into every investigation, every location, every situation trying to find the most logical, rational explanation first. That approach doesn't just apply to strange sounds in the middle of the night or equipment readings that spike unexpectedly. It applies to everything surrounding a location, including the legal and business side of things. The Conjuring House in Harrisville, Rhode Island has been surrounded by noise — some of it paranormal, a lot of it not — and it's time to sit down and have an honest conversation about where things actually stand.
For those who need a quick refresh, the Perron family farmhouse — made famous by the 2013 film The Conjuring and its connection to Ed and Lorraine Warren's investigations — has changed hands and generated significant controversy over the years regarding ownership, access, and how the property has been managed and presented to the public. Recent legal developments have brought some of that controversy to a head, and the paranormal community has been flooded with speculation, partial information, and in some cases, outright misinformation. I've been getting questions nonstop, and I think people deserve straight answers rather than rumors.
Here's what I want to be clear about going into tonight's conversation: I have a lot of respect for the history of that location and for the people whose lives intersected with it. The Perron family's experiences were real to them, and the work Ed and Lorraine Warren did there is part of the foundation of modern paranormal investigation — like it or not, agree with their methods or not. But respect for history doesn't mean we accept every claim uncritically, and it doesn't mean we ignore legitimate concerns about how a historically significant location is being handled. When legal disputes arise around a place like this, it affects not just the owners — it affects researchers, investigators, historians, and the broader community that cares about preserving these locations responsibly.
Tonight's live stream isn't just about laying out the facts as I understand them. It's also a community conversation. The people who watch these streams, who have followed TAPS and Ghost Hunters for years, are smart and passionate, and they deserve to be part of this discussion. Bring your questions, your theories, your frustrations — I want to hear them. We'll talk about what the legal situation means for access to the property, what the future of the house might look like, and what comes next from my end. Whether this chapter is truly closing or just entering a new phase, I think we owe it to the community to have that conversation in the open, honestly and without the drama that too often surrounds places like this.
The Conjuring House has always been more than a piece of real estate — it's a landmark in the history of paranormal investigation, and it deserves to be treated with integrity. Whatever happens next with the legal situation, my commitment stays the same: honest investigation, transparent conversation, and putting the truth ahead of the story. Join me tonight at 8:30 PM EST and let's figure this out together.
