BURRILLVILLE – After its owner has twice been committed for psychiatric care at two area hospitals, The Conjuring House is in danger of losing its license to operate as a business.
The centuries-old farmhouse, where the Perron family said they were tormented by a malicious spirit in the 1970s , a story that inspired the 2013 horror movie “The Conjuring,” has been owned since May 2022 by former Boston real estate developer Jacqueline Nuñez. She has operated it as an attraction, offering tours, overnight stays and camping on the property, among other events.
This year, Nuñez told The Providence Journal that she has been in a dispute with former employees of The Conjuring House. She also said she’d been committed overnight to a psych ward at Landmark Medical Center in July and for more than a week to a psych ward at Fatima Hospital in September.
Will the Conjuring House have its business license revoked?
On Wednesday, Nuñez was notified via the town’s online licensing system that Police Chief Col. Stephen J. Lynch had marked as “Not Approved” some of the information she had submitted to renew the entertainment license that allows her to operate The Conjuring House as a business.
