Roger and Carolyn Perron purchased the home of their dreams and eventual nightmares in December of 1970. The Arnold Estate, located just beyond the village of Harrisville, Rhode Island seemed the idyllic setting in which to raise a family. The couple unwittingly moved their five young daughters into the ancient and mysterious farmhouse. Secrets were kept and then revealed within a space shared by mortal and immortal alike. Time suddenly became irrelevant; fractured by spirits making their presence known then dispersing into the ether. The house is a portal to the past and a passage to the future. This is a sacred story of spiritual enlightenment, told some thirty years hence. The family is now somewhat less reticent to divulge a closely-guarded experience. Their odyssey is chronicled by the eldest sibling and is an unabridged account of a supernatural excursion. Ed and Lorraine Warren investigated this haunting in a futile attempt to intervene on their behalf. They consider the Perron family saga to be one of the most compelling and significant of a famously ghost-storied career as paranormal researchers. During a séance gone horribly wrong, they unleashed an unholy hostess; the spirit called Bathsheba . . . a God-forsaken soul. Perceiving herself to be the mistress of the house, she did not appreciate the competition. Carolyn had long been under siege; overt threats issued in the form of fire . . . a mother's greatest fear. It transformed the woman in unimaginable ways. After nearly a decade the family left a once beloved home behind though it will never leave them, as each remains haunted by a memory. This tale is an inspiring testament to the resilience of the human spirit on a pathway of discovery: an eternal journey for the living and the dead. Review: an amazing tale - I just finished this book, I also read volume one and I loved both! I couldn't put the books down and i didn't want them to end. The book does jump around a lot, the story is not told in the order that the events occurred and can be repetitive at times, however the story itself is an amazing tale or a family's supernatural and spiritual journey. It's a must read! What they encountered on this farm was truly extraordinary and at times utterly terrifying!! Thing that seem beyond belief (although I do believe it). The book really makes the reader question life, and reality as we know it,and question our own mortality. I cant wait for volume 3! Review: Spine tingling good - Having heard another the movie, I decided to read the story behind the hauntings first, and boy am I glad I did. The books tell a much more fascinating and truer version of events that had me looking in the shadows at night after reading chapters. My spine has never had so many chills run up it before. If it wasn't for a news article about the farm I would never have even known about it. Well recommended and a scintillating read from start to finish

More thrilling than the first
As much as I enjoy this series, the author does tend to repeat phrases ALOT. Regardless I very much enjoyed this book. More than the first.

Better than the first volume, fascinating story
A continuation of the Harrisville Haunting story. Things I liked: - This volume was much more readable than the first volume. The author seems to have relaxed and found a style, there are less overused stylistic phrases (message:received, house alive with death, the woman, the man etc), the wordiness has been toned down, and there is less hopping about in terms of timeline. Still some, but less. - More anecdotal stories are told in this; it mainly hops from occurence to occurence. These parts are very well written and quite absorbing. - You really get a sense of the house and the land. Reservations: - Starts off really slow with far too many poems etc. I almost put it down because of this. Later on, verse introduces and ends each chapter, but you can just skip these, which is better. - Still hops around a bit and repeats stories. Also mentions people we have never been introduced to, or were introduced to so long ago we have forgotten, such as Billy. Who is Billy? No idea. - I do think this could have been condensed into one book, as there is a lot of rumination and repetition. It would be more accessible if that was the case. Summary: Still needs a good edit but better written and complied than the first volume. Very interesting if such subjects are of interest to you.

Fascinating true story. Well worth reading.
A fascinating true story and good follow up to volume one. Made sure I had it ready for when I had finished the first book. Terrible really but what strong people. Not finished reading it yet but it is hard to put it down once reading. Recommended.

Quite badly written
I enjoyed the overall story (not sure how much I believe), but it is sooooooo wordy and quite badly written in some cases. You just need to try and overlook that to get to the interesting bits. It chops and changes a bit and then mentions people who have never been introduced before so you are not sure who they are, but it is still an interesting read. As others have said, she really, really needed a good editor to go through this, but if you can overlook all those bits, the underlying story is really good.

Enlightening
Wow! This trilogy is proving to be one of the best things I have ever read! Cannot wait for the final book! Fiction or fact? I truly feel the Perron family were blessed with the gift of enlightenment and were meant to share this!

Based on real events!
Andrea Perron tells her story of how she grew up in the conjuring house, encountering spirits, and witnessing the paranormal. She tells in her own words the amazing things she witnessed and even experienced in that amazing house. Everyone knows the Conjuring House but this story is a bit different as it is all fact and no fiction. This series of books kept me on my toes and it also speaks of belief and hope in something do beautiful...love! I can't believe she was so open and honest in her telling of her own personal experience anls well as that of her sisters, mother, and father. What a great read and a beautiful story.

It’s a great read even if you aren’t into the paranormal.
I love the series, love the movies. I’m all about ghost stories. Nothing negative to say about the trilogy. It’s an eye opener and mind opener. You will consider things you never knew possible. It’s a trip. It’s not written like a traditional novel, linear. And I think that was intentional.

Engrossing true story
I enjoyed all three books of this trilogy, couldn’t put it down!! What a brave family. Very well written by Andrea and I really enjoyed the follow up from different family members years after the events.

The truth
I have always wondered what really happened to the Perron family in that farm house and now I know. I really hate that the Warrens lied about it all.
