Happy Halloween!
Amityville, NY is famous for having a haunted house and a movie based on it. Fall River, MA is famous for having a haunted house and movies based on it.
But did you know that we have our own haunted house with a famous movie here in Rhode Island?
Perhaps you have seen the movie The Conjuring? Well that house was built in 1736 and is located in Harrisville, RI. In fact, earlier this year a new owner purchased the house and said doors started opening by themselves on day one. Yikes!
Want to go visit the house this Halloween? You are not the only one. Apparently, since the movie came out the property has been plagued not by ghosts but by trespassers. This story was even covered by Inside Edition!
