[ORIGINAL CHAPTER/CONJURING 1]

"Not always spirits can attach themselves onto buildings as well as people." I said as I looked at them but it seemed to make Roger angry "I'm talking to your parents here kid." Roger said sounding angry "he has the same gifts I do he's the one who convinced us to come here, he saw the spirit in a vision." My mom said sticking up for me " I may seem like a kid but I'm more that than I have seen things you can't even imagine and came out the other end so you can trust me." I said sounding a little annoyed "we have to get out of here." Carolyn said sounding worried "I'm afraid that's not gonna help." Dad said as he looked at them "Lorraine and Ed saw something which, go ahead," Dad said as he looked at us "we've been seeing the dark entity." Mom said as she looked at me before continuing to speak "that haunts your house and your land. First when we came through your door.

It was latched to your back. And again with the girls when we walked into the living room "it doesn't matter where you go, this entity has latched itself onto your family and it's feeding off you. That explains the bruises you keep waking up with. It's not going away and we need to stop it before it hurts you and your family." I said as I looked at them "even if we leave?" Carolyn said questionably "yes" I said as I took a deep breath.

"Sometimes when you get haunted, it's like stepping on gum. You take it with you." My dad said which made Carolyn scared I could see it on her face "look, I gotta tell you, you have a lot of sprits in here, but this is the one that I'm most worried about, because it is so hateful." Mom said I could feel it's hate too it hated that their family was happy "okay, so what do we do, can we call a priest?" Roger said questionably "I wish it were that easy. Performing an exorcism is an archaic procedure. Requires years of training. And even then, I've seen it go horribly wrong.

But before we even get that far, the church has to authorise it first. It means we gotta investigate, gather evidence and provide proof, and that's the hard part." My dad said before we all got up from the chair and headed outside "have your children been baptised?" Dad said as we headed down the stairs of the porch "uh, no, we never got around to that." Roger said sounding guilty "We're not really a church going family." Roger said as he looked at my dad "well. You may want to rethink that." Dad said "our presence here could make things worse." Dad said which confused Carolyn "why?" Carolyn asked "because we're a threat. And whatever this spirit is, isn't going to like us being here." I said looking at Carolyn "so far it hasn't done anything violent, and that's a good sign. So we're gonna have our guy do some homework on the property, though, to see what we're up against." Dad said looking at them before I whispered to her "my parents are the best you guys are going to be just fine." I said before she placed her hand onto my shoulder and smiled at me before speaking "Thank you." Carolyn whispered to me.

Later on, we headed home I decided to head into the living room looking through old books and information I had found in the library "hey buddy, what you up to." My dad said as he entered the room and sat down "just looking through my research" I said looking at my dad "find anything good." My dad said questionably as he smiled "I found something about what the locals called the curse, everyone who's owned the property has died under mysterious circumstances and it's believed that the property was cursed by the first owner." I said looking at my dad "that's great work buddy." My dad said before putting his head phones on and listening to the tape.

Later on after Judy had gone to bed myself, my mother and my father sat down at the table before my dad turned on the tape player and it began to play "My name is Ed Warren. It's November 1st, 1971. I'm sitting here with Carolyn Perron. Who, with her family, has been experiencing super natural occurrences. Okay, go ahead. From the first occurrence" the played but then we didn't hear Carolyn speak which was odd because I was there and she did "nothing" Dad said as he looked at my mother "that's odd is there a chance there's something wrong with the tape" I said, as a confused look appeared in my father's face "no that's what makes it more strange" Dad "I don't know. Did you two find anything?" Dad asked as he looked at the both of us "only what I told you." I said looking disappointed.

Before I looked at my mom "Lots. I mean, it's no wonder they're going through what they are." Mom said before she passed us both a photo of the house it was an older photo "That's the original farmhouse. It was built in 1863 by a man named Judson Sherman. Who was married to a woman, Ed, she's relayed to Mary Towne Estye." Mom said "wait wasn't she one of the women accused of witchcraft in Salem." I said as my mother passed me more photos "yeah, she was hung during the trials." Mom said. "Wow" I said as I looked at each photo "After Jenson got married, they had a baby, and when the baby was 7 days old Jenson caught her sacrificing it in front of the fireplace. She ran out to that tree by the dock,climbed up, proclaimed her love to Satan. Cursed anyone who tried to take her land, and hung herself" Momsaid before picking up something.

"Time of death was pronounced at 3:07 in the morning" Mom said "wait didn't the Perrons say that the clocks stopped, the smell and the cold happened at 3:07 it can't be a coincidence" I said looking at them both "that explains a few things" Dad said "yeah, so does this" Mom said before picking up something else it was a book sort of thing with two photos before pointing at a woman "she had a boy named Rory who mysteriously disappeared in the woods. Then she killed herself in the cellar. And that's not all" Mom said before grabbing the map and laying it out as we all looked at it "So, what was the original 200 acre farm has since been subdivided and sold off. There was another boy who drowned in a pond here. He lived in a house over here. And a woman who worked as a maid in a neighbouring home, she committed suicide too." Mom said which worried Dad.

"The curse" I said which made the both of them look at me "the people had no name for it but in my research, they called it the curse because they didn't understand what was happening there but they knew it was something dark" I said "people who took her land" Dad said with fear in his eyes but then out of nowhere the tape began to play once more on its own I'm sitting here with Carolyn Perron. Who, with her family, has been experiencing super natural occurrences. Okay, go ahead. From the first occurrence" then we heard a loud wheezing in the background and voices a woman wailing and girls screaming but then I looked at the clock it was 03:07 in the morning.

So the next morning me and drew headed back to the house camper van to bring the equipment and mom and dad travelled in there car as we stood near the van a car approached "Here's Brad." Mom said as Brad got out of the car "you find it ok?" Dad asked as he looked at Brad "oh, yeah" Brad said sounding impressed with himself "Drew, this is officer Brad." Mom said introducing Drew to Brad while my dad began to get everything out of the camper. "Officer Brad Hamilton, Harrisville, Phode Island PD." Brad said shaking his hand before looking at the house. "Brad this isn't Top Gun you can remove the shades" I said sarcastically before he laughed.
