A couple who says they own the home that inspired the 2013 horror film “The Conjuring,” claims they’re being haunted by constant unwanted visitors — and it has nothing to do with paranormal events.
Norma Sutcliffe and Gerald R. Helfrich are suing Warner Bros., New Line Productions, the Safran Company and others, claiming that ever since the release of the film, their Harrisville, Rhode Island, home has been besieged by trespassers.
“Within days of the July 19. 2013, theatrical release of ‘The Conjuring,’ the Property was inundated by curiosity seekers and trespassers who, at all hours of night and day, come to and onto the Property, approach and seek to enter the house, take photographs and videos, ignore the ‘no trespassing’ signs, fences, and barriers installed,” the couple, who bought the house in 1987, claims.
