Halloween Foreclosure Auction for 'Conjuring' House Canceled After Bank Sells Mortgage

The sale shifts control of the Burrillville landmark to an unidentified note holder whose identity will surface in town land records.

Overview

  • Needham Bank said it has sold the underlying mortgage loan on the 1677 Round Top Road property and no longer has an interest in the house.
  • The buyer was not named by the bank, and the assignment is expected to become public when recorded in the town’s land evidence records.
  • With the auction canceled, the new note holder must either negotiate a deed in lieu with owner Jacqueline Nuñez or complete a foreclosure to take title, according to the auctioneer.
  • 'Ghost Hunters' star Jason Hawes launched a GoFundMe that had raised more than $67,000 and pledged refunds if he does not acquire the property.
  • Andrea Perron, who lived in the home in the 1970s and is battling Stage 4 metastatic breast cancer, urged Hawes to help preserve it as others including Matt Rife and Elton Castee have expressed interest.
