History:
Carolyn and Roger Perron together with their five daughters moved into the house during the 1970s and almost immediately reported small yet inexplicable events within the home. Carolyn Perron claimed to have noticed how the broom would move from place to place or disappear altogether. Then she’d notice small piles of dirt in the center of a freshly-swept kitchen floor. The children also said that they witnessed spirits — at first, most of them harmless.
Then the family said they began to experience horrendous smells. Smells that stank of rotting flesh. They said their beds shook at 5:15 each morning. Roger Perron would enter the basement and feel a “cold, stinking presence behind him.” The family typically stayed away from the dirt-floored cellar, but the heating equipment would often fail mysteriously causing Roger Perron to venture down. Objects were inexplicably launched across rooms and smashed into walls. Doors slammed. Glass shattered. One night, as Carolyn Perron was sitting in the living room, she felt a piercing pain in her leg. Looking down, she saw a small, open wound — like from a large needle.

It turns out a woman named Bathsheba Sherman had actually lived on the Perron’s property in the mid-1800s. Rumor had it she practiced witchcraft and there was some evidence of her involvement in a local infant’s death. Many believed that Bathsheba killed the child in a Satanic ritual with a large sewing needle to the brain, but she was never convicted of the crime. Bathsheba is consequently buried not far from The Conjuring house.
The Perron’s called on paranormal experts Ed and Lorraine Warren to investigate the farmhouse and to hopefully eradicate the evil spirits within. The couple, probably the most well-known paranormal detectives in history, reported that they have investigated over 10,000 cases. Lorraine Warren, who claimed to be a clairvoyant, held a seance at the Perron’s farmhouse. The goal was to make contact with the ghosts tormenting the family.
In the middle of the seance, Carolyn Perron seemed to become possessed; speaking in tongues and rising chair and all into the air. Afterward, Carolyn Perron seemed to return to normal, and Roger Perron told the Warrens to leave. According to Andrea, the family actually stayed in the house until 1980 when they could finally afford a new home. When they left, they said the spirits stopped contacting them. The family was finally at peace. (Source)
