The Perron farmhouse, Harrisville
The Perron family moved into an old farmhouse in Harrisville, Rhode Island, in 1971 and later said it was haunted; the Warrens investigated, and the story became the film 'The Conjuring' (2013).

The account
Family members described years of apparitions and an angry spirit they linked to a 19th-century former resident.
The sceptical view
The film's version is heavily dramatized, and the historical link to an accused 'witch' has been challenged by local historians.
