What is the true story behind the movie The Conjuring (2013)?

The Conjuring is based on the true story of the Perron family, who lived in a farmhouse in Harrisville, Rhode Island in the 1970s. The family experienced a series of paranormal phenomena, including unexplained noises, objects moving on their own, and apparitions. They eventually reached out to paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren for help, who conducted several investigations and seances at the house.

During their investigations, the Warrens claimed to have communicated with the spirit of Bathsheba Sherman, a woman who had lived on the property in the 19th century and was accused of practicing witchcraft. The Warrens believed that Bathsheba was responsible for the hauntings, and performed an exorcism at the property to try to rid it of the negative energy.

The Perron family eventually moved out of the house after many years, and each member of the family has spoken publicly about their experiences in the farmhouse. However, some skeptics have challenged the truthfulness of the Warrens’ claims, and some speculate that the hauntings may have been exaggerated or fabricated for publicity.
