‘Conjuring’ House Set for Halloween Foreclosure Auction

The sale follows a mortgage default after town crackdowns left the ghost-tourism venture in disarray.

Overview

  • JJ Manning Auctioneers lists a mortgagee’s foreclosure sale for 11 a.m. on Oct. 31 in Burrillville, confirmed by town officials.
  • The 3,000-square-foot home on 8.5 acres at 1677 Round Top Road last sold in 2022 for about $1.525 million to Bale Fire LLC, controlled by Jacqueline Nuñez.
  • Regulatory and financial issues — license revocation, police citations, corporate registration revocation, unpaid taxes — preceded the default.
  • Auction terms call for a $25,000 bidder deposit, and the sale could be postponed or canceled, though Needham Bank is described as motivated to sell.
  • Paranormal enthusiasts Matt Rife and Elton Castee have publicly expressed interest in buying the property.
