Synopsis;
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 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.

Thoughts;
After watching the Conjuring and finding
out that it was based on true events, I was excited to learn about this book.
My favorite books to read are true crime and true ghost story books. I received
this book for a Christmas gift, started reading it right away and just finished
it, about 5 months later. I will always finish the book but based on the length
of time it took me shows how un interested I was.
I was really hoping for more “inside”
stuff about the house and the ghosts. The first about half was really
interesting about how they found the found and some of the things that
happened. The back half of the book was just ok, if I could even use that.
It was hard to read and was more about the family then things that
happened. There are other volumes and I may check them out, but it’s doubtful.
