In the quiet town of Burrillville, Rhode Island, the famous “The Conjuring House” might lose its entertainment license. This 18th-century farmhouse, known for its supposed hauntings and supernatural experiences, draws thousands of visitors each year. The Town Council unanimously voted against renewing the license for its parent company, Bale Fire LLC, owned by Jacqueline Nuñez. Council members had concerns about Nuñez's ability to properly manage the house. It operates 24/7, offering overnight stays to thrill-seekers and ghost hunters. They raised issues about Nuñez's erratic behavior and past police incidents. Nuñez plans to sue the town and the state, claiming violations of her constitutional rights. She has previously accused local police of trying to force her out of business. Former employees have also raised issues, with one filing a lawsuit after being accused of stealing by Nuñez, who claimed it was based on a tip from a ghost. Famous paranormal investigator Jason Hawes has expressed concerns about guest safety at the house. Last month, Nuñez was arrested for allegedly driving under the influence and leading police on a chase. She denies these accusations. The town hopes the business succeeds but wants to ensure it runs smoothly. “The Conjuring House” has brought economic benefits to Burrillville, attracting visitors who spend money at local businesses.
