The Conjuring House Controversy: Where Things Stand, What Comes Next, and the Truth Behind the Headlines
“You deserve straight answers — not rumors, not drama, not whatever's circulating in the comment sections. My commitment to this community has always been transparency, and that's exactly what tonight was about.”
— Jason Hawes
The Conjuring House has been one of the most talked-about locations in the paranormal world for decades, and lately it's been making headlines for reasons that go well beyond what happens inside its walls. With recent legal developments swirling and misinformation spreading fast across social media, I wanted to sit down directly with the community, answer your questions face to face, and give you the straightforward truth about where everything stands right now.
I've been doing this work long enough to know that the paranormal field attracts two things in equal measure — genuine curiosity and noise. Right now, there's a lot of noise surrounding The Conjuring House, and frankly, most of it isn't rooted in facts. That's exactly why I went live tonight. I'm not interested in letting rumors fill the vacuum when I can just speak directly to the people who actually care about getting this right. The community deserves honest answers, not drama, and that's what I committed to delivering tonight at 8:30 PM EST.
For those who aren't fully up to speed, The Conjuring House — the Harrisville, Rhode Island property made famous by the Perron family's experiences and later immortalized in the 2013 film — has been at the center of a legal situation that's raised serious questions about the future of the location and who controls the narrative around it. I've been watching this unfold closely, and I want to be clear: there's a significant difference between what's actually happening legally and what people are reading in comment sections and second-hand posts. My goal tonight was to cut through that and give you a grounded, factual breakdown of where things actually stand — not speculation, not sensationalism.
One of the biggest questions I kept seeing was whether this is all finally over. The honest answer is more complicated than a yes or no. Legal situations like this don't resolve cleanly overnight, and anyone telling you definitively that it's done — or that the worst is yet to come — is likely working from incomplete information. What I can tell you is what the known facts support, what the realistic outcomes look like moving forward, and what I think this means for the paranormal community's access to and relationship with this property. I also think it's worth having an open conversation about what responsible investigation and stewardship of historic haunted locations should look like going forward, because this situation raises real questions about that.
Beyond the legal specifics, tonight was also about something I care deeply about — community. This isn't just a location to me; it's a case that has shaped how a lot of people came to care about paranormal research. The Perron family's story, investigated seriously and with respect, is part of the foundation of modern paranormal investigation. I wanted to give everyone who showed up a chance to ask questions, share their perspectives, and have an honest dialogue. That back-and-forth matters to me. I don't have all the answers, and I'll never pretend to. But I'll always show up and have the conversation, because that's how we move this field forward — together, with transparency and a commitment to the truth over the hype.
The Conjuring House will continue to be a significant location in paranormal history regardless of how the legal dust settles, and I'll continue to follow this closely and keep the community informed as things develop. My approach hasn't changed — I want facts, I want transparency, and I want this field to be taken seriously. We'll keep talking, keep asking questions, and keep doing the work the right way.
