The film that sends shivers down your spine was inspired by the true story of the Perron family who bought a farmhouse in Rhode Island in 1971.
Tonnes of unexplainable or paranormal activities took place at the house and it became a living nightmare for the family (as well as viewers decades later). Ed and Lorraine Warren eventually went to the house to investigate the sinister occurances.
Well, little did we know that the actual house was on sale and it was recently purchased by Cory and Jennifer Heinzen.
Now, the farmhouse has become the Heinzens’ living nightmare as the couple claims that the house is really haunted since the day they moved in.
Cory told the Sun Journal in an interview that they heard “doors opening, footsteps and knocks” and he’s having a hard time staying there.
“I don't have the feeling of anything evil, (but) it's very busy. You can tell there's a lot of things going on in the house.”
If you’re baffled as to why would anyone even think of buying an infamous house infested with ghosts, well, it turns out that Mr. Heinzen is a paranormal investigator of 10 years and is “fascinated by the Warrens”.
“I’d be lying if I didn’t say I was nervous, but at the same time, that’s what I’m there for,” Cory said after staying overnight by himself in the house.
When he saw the house was up for sale at an online forum a few months ago, the couple “immediately fell in love” with the place.
“Eight-and-a-half acres, a river in the back and a pond, it's so serene down there, never mind the story behind the house, it's a beautiful home.”
“This whole journey has been both scary — for many reasons other than paranormal — and exciting all at once,” Jennifer said.
The creepy farmhouse is currently undergoing preservation works and the couple intends to open the place to the public and paranormal investigators by the end of the year.
Well, this is kind of smart. Buy a haunted place and turn it into an actual haunted house attraction. Would you pay to visit this historically haunted farmhouse?
