Turns out all that went down was based around someone named Bathsheba Sherman. She was a woman who lived on the Sherman Farm. Folklore claims she was a witch.

Townsfolk claimed that a baby died while Bathsheba Sherman was watching it. When news spread of how the baby died, a needle to the back of the head, many believed

she had murdered the child as part of a sacrifice.

The Warrens, paranormal investigators who were involved with the Perron family's case, said Sherman was the one who put a curse on the house sometime before her death in 1885.

Now who in their right mind would go to this supposed witch's grave site?

There are a lot of questions surrounding who Bathsheba Sherman was and how she died, all because of the Perrons and their claims, but some reports say she simply died

of old age. If that’s the case, why the hell was she haunting this poor family?

One theory for why Bathsheba would have cursed the house is all of the accusations made about her during her life. So when she died, she decided to make sure

to wreak havoc on the world for eternity.

The house the Perron family would later live in had quite the history. Andrea Perron researched their home later on in life and found that eight generations had come and

gone in that house.

None of the events that went down in "The Conjuring" would have become known if it hadn't of been for the Warrens. In 1952 they founded the New England Society

for Psychic Research and took their paranormal investigating to the next level.

Chucky got some major competition in the creepy doll category when we were introduced to Annabelle in the first "Conjuring" movie. Fans dug her so much that she got her

own spinoffs. Of course, things get even scarier when you learn that Annabelle was based on a Raggedy Ann doll the Warrens came across after a pair of roommates reported

its strange behavior in 1970. They claimed it was possessed by someone named Annabelle Higgins.

When the Perrons were still on the hunt for a home, people told them to "leave the lights on." I don't know about you, but if someone told me an

old house was even the least bit suspect...I'd be out. Come to think of it, why were there even neighbors near this place?

Turns out that when the Perrons bought the house, which was located in Rhode Island, they were not told of its manic history.

Make a mental note never to buy property in Rhode Island that seems like it’s not from modern times. Any of those old houses could be haunted.

Roger and Carolyn obviously ignored those sentiments. All they were thinking about were their five daughters and the space they were able to give them with 200 acres and a

nice, big house.

Despite the vague warnings from neighbors, Roger Perron and his wife, Carolyn, bought their new home in Rhode Island in 1971.

The Perrons knew something wasn't quite right when strange, little things started to happen in their new home: flickering lights, items winding up in different places, and other things that

would've made any other family pack up.

One of the Perron girls, Cynthia, later said that there was someone (or something) that would tuck them in when these weird things started to happen. She said that this

alleged ghost smelled like Ivory soap.

It seems at first the Perrons tried to get along with whatever was causing a bit of stir in their home. Wait, what in the world?!

It's believed that the friendly ghosts were Mrs. Arnold, a woman who'd lived there prior, and a young boy named Johnny Arnold. She would tuck the girls in and he'd

play with their toys.

Whatever was going on, it didn’t seem to scare the Perron family too much. I guess they thought they had their very own Casper on their hands. They were wrong.

Oh. So. Wrong.

One of the first times the Perron girls talked about being legit terrorized was in their barn when they heard voices talking about dead bodies in their walls.

Rotting flesh. Soon enough, that's the smell the Perron sisters said they smelt at 5:15 a.m. every morning.

There was a "broom ghost" that would sweep the family's kitchen when no one was around. Okay, that one doesn't sound that bad.

Whatever was in their home seemed to have its eyes set on Mama Perron the most. Carolyn Perron once said in an interview that a woman cloaked in gray once

told her to "get out."

Oh yeah, that would be our old friend. The supposed witch, Bathsheba Sherman.

The Perrons soon realized that maybe they should have gone far, far away from this place when Carolyn was possessed.

Luckily, a friend of the family had mentioned them to the Warrens, and the investigators couldn't pass up seeing this supposed haunted house.

Wait, so your friend tells you about all this insane crap going down in their house and you DON'T invite them to stay with you? Rude.

After the Warrens' initial seance, nothing happened. In fact, it only made the Perron household even worse than before.

After the first visit, the Warrens visited sporadically throughout the years. Don’t know why. They were literally the least helpful house guests.

We've all thought and said this a million times, why the hell didn't they just leave?! They didn't have enough cash to leave. With all those kids and a haunted

house they weren't able to get an offer on? Yeah, they were literally stuck in hell on earth.

In 1980 they were finally able to move, nine years after they first stepped through the doors of their cursed house.

Many of the Perrons have said that they still feel something in the air at times even though it's been over three decades since they said adios to that Rhode

Island town.

There was clearly something going on with the house, there is no doubt about that, but could the Perron family have had a curse on them as well that doubled

the terror? From what we’ve learned, no one else carried the frights with them later in life. Just something to think about.

Elsewhere, the Warrens were also the inspiration for The Amityville Horror franchise. Some of that case made its way into "The Conjuring 2," but it's the Perron family that still

has many horror fans interested today.

In 2011, Andrea Perron released a book about her family's harrowing experience in their Rhode Island house of evil titled "House of Darkness House of the Light."

Andrea Perron has said that every other occupant who has lived there has experienced some form of haunting.

So all of these people have claimed this house is one of the worst in the world but it is still standing? You would think that after eight generations of

being terrorized, the Perrons' decade of horror, and almost every other occupant since dealing with strange things...they’d close it up OR turn it into the scariest tourist trap since the

Winchester House.

Ed Warren wanted to make a movie about the Perron experience for years before anyone else did.

Not more than a couple years later Hollywood came knocking when twin brothers Chad and Carey Hayes caught wind of the story and wrote "The Conjuring." The movie introduced those

who were not in the know to the Perrons and the incidents that went down in the '70s while they lived in...that house.

The most current owner of that house was not a fan of "The Conjuring" movie and all the hype around the hauntings. While Norma Sutcliffe has admitted to some little

things going on, she doesn't seem to think they're as bad as the Perron family has made them out to be.

At the end of the day, it’s a ghost story that is undeniably one of the most, well, haunting. There have been way more people who’ve said that place is

haunted than not, so...yeah, we’re totally on board with this Rhode Island home being haunted.
