What if the Conjuring House isn’t haunted by ghosts… but by us?

We unpack reporting (Wicked Horror and The Hollywood Reporter) that highlights disturbing allegations: grooming, child abuse claims, financial motivations behind myth making, and the unusual contractual safeguarding of their image in film, ensuring no mention of misconduct.
