The case of the Perron Family became the basis for the James Wan horror film that started it all: 2013's "The Conjuring." According to USA Today, Roger and Carolyn Perron had moved into an 18th-century Rhode Island farmhouse in 1971 with their five daughters. Per Entertainment Weekly, they claimed that spirits from eight generations of one family lived in the house, including a tall woman whose head was "like a sack of cobwebs with little tendrils of hair hanging out."
In 1973, the demonologists dropped by to help the Perrons investigate the house. According to Andrea Perron, one of the daughters, there was a scary séance in which her mother spoke in a strange language and started levitating in a chair. The Perrons lived in the house for seven more years.
