“I grew up in probably the most haunted house in America,” said author Andrea Perron during a recent interview on the Internet radio program Mystic Moon Café, “However, we didn’t tell anybody that … because forty years ago people didn’t want to hear it. They didn’t want to believe it. They certainly didn’t want to know anybody that was living in circumstances like that. And so we kept it under our hats for more than thirty years after we left the house. We moved in there as a completely normal family … but we left as a paranormal family, because once that door is opened, it cannot be closed again. And if you retain all of your cognitive synapses, and you experience something like that, you never forget it.”
The house in question sits on a 200-acre farm in Harrisville, Road Island, was built in 1776, and is the subject of the hit movie ‘The Conjuring.’ Perron was one of five young girls who moved into that farmhouse with her parents in January of 1971. What followed was nearly a decade of torment at the hands of malevolent forces from an unseen world.
Much of the Hollywood retelling of the Perron family’s ordeal is gleaned from the three-volume chronicle penned by Andrea Perron under the title “House of Darkness House of Light” and the investigative files of Ed and Lorraine Warren, founders of the New England Society for Psychic Research.

The tale of a young family’s oppression at the hands of supernatural forces has struck a chord with American audiences. The story, however, is sending chills up the spines of some in the media … in ways the filmmakers may not have foreseen.

That was really a great reply; very concise. Thank you!
That show was absolutely chilling
Since this thread is about the paranormal, I’d like to retell what I experienced a couple decades ago when I was a volunteer interpreter at the Old Stone House at the Manassas National Battlefield Park. I should add that this house served as a hospital during both the First and Second Battles of Bull Run—I’m a Southerner and that’s what we called them—and soldiers had died in this house trying to recover from their wounds.
One Sunday evening in the winter (and the sun was rapidly setting) and after the other interpreter had gone home, it was my duty to close up the place. Prior to doing so it was necessary to thoroughly check both floors to make sure no visitors were in the house. That I did.
As I was preparing to lock the door I heard footsteps on the second floor. I knew that shouldn’t be possible since I had just checked that floor and when I came down I stayed at the base of their stairway so no one could have gone by me.
I went upstairs and found that there was no one there. But I damn sure heard those footsteps.
I quickly locked the door and go the hell out of there.
It never happened again.
the bible is clear on where souls go, they go to hell or heaven, and we hope heaven, they don’t linger, come back, etc. It’s not biblical to believe anything else. Anything on earth is either angels or demons, souls are gone.
“Spirits of babies wouldn’t be hanging out in a cabin, they’ve gone on to be with Jesus after their murders.”
Well, why cant they occasionally haunt a cabin AND be with Jesus at the same time?

only God is omni present. We can’t be in 2 places at once.
Look, when the author of the tale is Mr. Curmudgeon we best let him spell stuff any way he wants.
Well, they put on an interesting FREE presentation while I was at college. I’m sure my college fees paid them something, but that was out of my control. It was a night of unique entertainment!
