The Conjuring is based on the real-life investigations of paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, who are depicted in the film.
The Warrens' Case Files
The film draws inspiration from the Warrens' case files, specifically the "The Perron Family Case". This case, which occurred in 1971, involved a family who claimed to be haunted by a malevolent entity in their Rhode Island farmhouse.
The Warrens' investigations and their experiences with the Perron family are documented in Lorraine Warren's book, "The Demonologist: The Extraordinary Career of Lorraine Warren".
Historical Accuracy
While the film draws inspiration from the Warrens' investigations, it is important to note that it is a fictionalized account and not a direct retelling of events.
- The film takes creative liberties with the timeline and events of the Perron family case.
- The film also incorporates elements from other cases investigated by the Warrens.
Wikipedia's Information

However, it does provide information on the Warrens' investigations and their case files, which form the basis for the film's story.
