Rhode Island’s ‘Conjuring’ House Set for Halloween Foreclosure Auction

The lender-run sale follows months of licensing trouble at the Burrillville tourist attraction.

Overview

  • JJManning Auctioneers lists the property as a mortgagee’s foreclosure auction for Oct. 31, a date confirmed by Burrillville officials.
  • The 8.5-acre farmhouse, known from The Conjuring, last sold in 2022 to Bale Fire LLC for about $1.5 million, according to land records.
  • Owner Jacqueline Nuñez turned the site into a paid paranormal destination offering tours, spirit hunts and overnight stays.
  • Burrillville revoked the entertainment license last November, citing issues with the property, the town application and interactions with police, and former staff pursued back pay after a disputed firing.
  • Comedian Matt Rife and YouTuber Elton Castee have publicly expressed interest in buying the property, saying they want to preserve its history.
