Ever since The Conjuring was released in 2013, the horrifying tale of an innocent Rhode Island family being cursed and haunted by a demonic spirit has been cemented as a staple in American horror folklore.
But, the terrifying movie is not just fiction– it is based on the true experiences of the Perron family, who moved into a fourteen-room farmhouse located in Harrisville, Rhode Island, in January of 1971.
The house had reportedly been haunted for decades, with each of its previous owners dying under mysterious or suspicious circumstances.
The Perron family consisted of Carolyn, Roger, and their fire daughters– who, after moving in, first began to notice small unexplainable instances of objects going missing or moving from room to room on their own.
Then, over time, the paranormal experiences increased in frequency and violence until Ed and Lorraine Warren– paranormal investigators– performed a séance.
Despite this spine-tingling tale now being forty-seven years old, though, you might be interested to learn that the original Rhode Island “Conjuring House” is still standing.
Moreover, one TikToker who goes by the name @TheParanormalFiles even stayed at the creepy residence.
“We spent the night investigating inside of the house and had a couple of terrifying experiences,” the TikToker began in one video.

Then, he posted a storytime video describing the entire night’s events.
“First of all, it was not like I expected it to be. It was not scary; it was not evil. There was something there, but I have been to a lot of places… and the Conjuring House is kind of a vortex,” the TikToker said.
He went on to explain how the house was occupied by many good spirits along with evil.
“As a whole, the activity I experienced that night was pretty positive. It was not anything big– like doors weren’t slamming or lights turning on and off. It was like a normal house with a little paranormal flair.”
Nonetheless, the TikToker did reveal that he endured one “terrifying experience” during his evening at the infamous house.
Apparently, while he was filming the house with his camera at about 5:00 a.m., he completely blacked out and dropped his camera.
“That was very freaky,” he said.
Still, though, the TikToker– who visits haunted locations once a week– said that the Conjuring House was nowhere near the most horrifying location he has ever frequented.
So, with his testimonial in mind, would you ever consider visiting the original Conjuring House? Or is the location still too ghostly for you?
