Conjuring House owner arrested on DUI charges in Rhode Island – NECN

The owner of the Rhode Island home that inspired the 2013 horror film “The Conjuring” was arrested on DUI charges Monday.

Bodycam footage released by police shows a white Lexus driving recklessly through the streets of Burriville, according to WJAR-TV.

Police say the driver, later identified as Jacqueline Nuñez, led police on a chase before finally stopping on Wallum Lake Road. The police report stated that officers could smell alcohol on her breath and that she had bloodshot, glassy eyes.

“I had a few drinks and I live in the magic house,” Nuñez told police. She then asked the officers if they usually handcuff people who had a few Manhattans.

Nuñez laughed during field sobriety tests, according to police. She was issued a citation for DUI and reckless driving and other traffic offenses.

Nuñez bought The Conjuring House in 2022. While the 2013 film was not filmed there, it was inspired by the events experienced by the family who lived in the home in the 1970s. Today it is open to the public for overnight stays and a popular attraction for paranormal adventurers.
