In The Conjuring, what Rhode Island town is home to the Perron family?

The story behind the answer

In The Conjuring, the Perron family lives in Harrisville, Rhode Island.

The 2013 film, directed by James Wan, presents a fictionalized account of paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren investigating a farmhouse occupied by Roger and Carolyn Perron and their daughters. The case is set in the early 1970s.

Harrisville is a village in the town of Burrillville in Providence County, Rhode Island. The movie uses the location as the setting for a haunting connected to the old farmhouse and its alleged history.

The Conjuring helped launch a wider shared film franchise, later called the Conjuring Universe. Its supernatural investigators are based on real people, but the film’s events, chronology, and dramatic details were altered for storytelling. The actual house associated with the case is in Burrillville, while Harrisville is the nearby village most commonly linked with the story.
