Paranormal: The Conjuring House

We explore the history of Rhode Island Colony and the town of Burrillville, home of The Conjuring House (formerly The Old Arnold Estate). We investigate and discuss the indigenous land surrounding Round Top Road, and dispel the allegations about Bathsheba Sherman haunting the house. Drew reads excerpts from Andrea Perron’s three-volume series, House of Darkness: House of Light: her third-person memoir that chronicles her family’s battle with ghostly activity. The episode rounds with a discussion of Ed and Lorraine Warren and their connection to the case.CW/TW: This episode contains talk of suicide, sexual assault, animal cruelty, and horror imagery.
