The True Story of The Conjuring Is Creepier Than the Movie

The Conjuring, directed by James Wan, is one of the best horror films of the 21st century. It looks amazing, it plays on the audience’s worst fears, and it is based on a true story. But how true is it? There are a lot of films that say they are based on a true story just to get in an extra scare, but those claims rarely add up to anything more than a disclaimer on a movie poster.

Throughout the '70s, the Perron family claimed to have lived The Conjuring. The family members were thrown out of their beds, ghosts kissed them in the middle of the night, and they were preyed upon by the spirit of a witch named Bathsheba Thayer.
Was The Conjuring a true story?

Happy Halloween everybody...What is your favorite Halloween candy?

I'm more creeped out by the friendship that the family had with the ghosts tbh

[ichichlove]

Being in a haunted house is like being in an abusive relationship. It’s hard to leave.

It wasn't the spirit of a witch, it was a demon. The rotting flesh smell, the ability to throw people around, only inhuman spirits possess these attributes.

I feel sorry for Bathsheba. Ma'am already lost her children and the town back then ostracized her for it. There's no evidence she ever was a witch, nor anyone evil. And thanks to this bs movie, her actual grave has been vandalized and her gravestone stolen. She wasn't the original home owner either, she was the neighbour.

But they actually did find bodies of what are presumed to be soldier around the actual house.

Kissing ghosts? How did Hollywood not capitalize on THAT story plot?

The house is believed to be the site of several portals that traverse between worlds. In her books Andrea Perron mentions a hallway that everyone hated walking down. All of their pets avoided it as well! They once tried to lure the family dog with a steak to see if they could get it to walk down the hallway & it just sat there whimpering & whining pitifully. There was a big fireplace that was believed to be another one. When the family moved in, it’s opening was all closed off & bordered up so no one could access it. It was a fact that the house was constantly freezing, but no one could understand why. Finally, one night Caroline Perron had enough & started pulling apart the boards covering the fireplace with her bare hands, taking out all the junk that someone had used to stuff up & seal the chimney. Finally, they were able to get a fire going but according to Andrea Perron the negative activity increased dramatically after Caroline opened that chimney. Their dad, Roger Perron, was a salesman so he was often on the road. Because of this he was often not home to witness the haunting & what torment his family was living with every day. It started to be a point of contention between the couple and their relationship began to suffer. Andrea’s books are great! Her writing is a very detailed, eloquent account spread out over 3 books of what her & her family’s life was like living in that house for 10 years. Highly recommend to believers or non-believers alike!

Strange as it may seem, Andrea Perron, the eldest daughter and author of House of Darkness House of Light, has recently claimed her decade spent living in that house though at times horrifying was the best time of her life. She believes it to be more then just a haunted house but actually a portal to multiple dimensions cleverly disguised as a farm house.

There is nothing more haunting to me than competitive exams and interviews.

[xandera]

Did anybody else lose their sh*t when weird history said "yeah, Norma, that's still not normal... get out" great video Weird History! XD

[noakai]

"Yeah, Norma, that's still not normal, get out" Why did this line delivery crack me up?

[louisjasonlugo]

"Paranormal? Or crappy old box!" I almost spit out my coffee 😆 I love the humor in this channel

[yush]

I don't understand how you're gonna live with a ghost in your house when its haunting you to the point where a family member is at the verge of dying but you still refuse to leave the house

[kindacrazyAna]

Imagine, you live your life and die. Now, over a century later everybody calling you a witch and making stories with you as the villain. I doubt Bathsheba was described truthfully.

[applesolon]

We need a broom ghost and a dishwasher ghost too 😆

[GhostsRNEARShow]

I would absolutley LOVE to see a "prequel" to The Conjuring, about the original investigating team at the house who were there BEFORE the Warrens, and how they were instrumental in bringing Ed and Lorraine Warren into the case!

[raran]

Not being able to afford to just up and leave, paired with not being able to sell the house, is 100% a valid reason to not leave.

[sschi]

Bathsheba's mom, holding her newborn daughter: I'm gonna give you a name that will make people think you're a witch 130 years from now.

[urosvesic]

-Mum, dad, there are ghosts hunting us, can we leave?
-Nah, house market is a mess right now
Every family in horror movies ever

[IncarnateParanormal]

14 years in the paranormal field and this case is one of the weirdest I have ever read about. Andrea Perron put out 3 books about it.
