In the latest twist in the ongoing saga surrounding ownership of the infamous Conjuring House, the disputed sale of the home has been squashed for now. The purportedly haunted Rhode Island residence has had an uncertain fate over the last several months. First scheduled for auction on Halloween, the sale was cancelled when YouTuber Elton Castee bought the underlying mortgage of the home, but not the deed to the house itself. The situation took an even stranger turn in December when a lawsuit filed by owner Jacqueline Nuñez's sister, Elizabeth Greenhalgh, revealed that Jason Hawes of Ghost Hunters fame had arranged to purchase the property and argued that she was "not of sound mind" when she signed off on the exchange.
As the matter made its way through court last month, Greenhalgh's assertion about a deal was confirmed when it was learned that Nuñez had signed paperwork selling the house to Hawes for $1.3 million back in December. However, at a hearing on Wednesday, that agreement was reportedly nullified when it was determined that the documents had been improperly notarized. While the paranormal reality star indicated that he intends to continue to pursue purchasing the property, the set back this week would seemingly put Hawes back at proverbial square one with other suitors, such as Castee and comedian Matt Rife, undoubtedly eager to get their hands on the home as well, leaving the fate of the much sought after residence still very much in limbo.
