Worker at infamous The Conjuring House fired when owner insists 19th century spirit ‘told her he was stealing’

A WORKER at the infamous house from The Conjuring has been fired after being accused of theft by a 19th century spirit.

Brian Dansereau farmed in Burrillville, Rhode Island – about 23 miles north of Providence – also known as the Old Arnold Estate.

The house has attracted international attention from film fanatics and ghost hunters since it was featured in the 2013 film The Conjuring.

Dansereau told the local CBS affiliate WKBN-TV that he worked at the house until a month ago, after being suddenly fired by the current owner, Jacqueline Nuñez.

She told Dansereau that the spirit of John Arnold — who owned the house with his wife Abigail in the 1800s — told Nuñez the worker stole about $3,000, which Dansereau denies.

“She said, ‘John Arnold told me you’re stealing money out of the box for the last two months,’” Dansereau told the outlet.

“I literally stopped and had to correct her like, ‘John Arnold, one of the original owners?'”

Nuñez describes herself as a medium and says she fired Dansereau after spirits from “the world’s most famous haunted and active locations” told her he was stealing.

She added that she also learned of “other unsavory matters from previous employees and even mischievous guests.”

“It doesn’t matter if you believe in the paranormal or not,” Nuñez told the channel in a statement.

“I and all people have the right to experiences that bring understanding and meaning to our lives, including being informed or warned about evil actors and actions.”

She added that her experience with Dansereau “returned quickly,” leading to her termination of her employment at will.

The Conjuring was created after author Andrea Perron wrote House of Darkness: House of Light – The True Story, Volume One in 2011.

The book details Perron’s experiences with the paranormal while living on the Arnold Estate, which she family property in the 1970s.

Perron stated that she family was haunted by a spirit named Bathsheba after a “session gone horribly wrong.”

The author said that paranormal activities happened in the house all the time.

“It all started the first day we moved into the house,” Perron said in a 2013 interview.

“We saw a man standing in the dining room who seemed obsessed with dear old Mr. Kenyon, who sold the property to my parents. I walked past him and said, ‘Good morning,’ and he didn’t respond.”

Dansereau shared his own paranormal experiences at home, such as hearing voices and footsteps – even hearing his own voice responding to him in the basement.

“One of the strangest things was being alone in the basement, in the storage room, and literally hearing myself call me from the other side of the basement,” he said.

Another time, Dansereau said a closed door opened for him as he walked toward it holding boxes.

He said he enjoyed his time at home, but doubted John Arnold would tell Nuñez he was a thief.

“For a spirit to pursue a staff member in this manner, I have never heard of such a thing in any haunted location, let alone the ‘Conjuring’ house,” he said.

He filed a complaint seeking unpaid wages with the Rhode Island Department of Labor and Training, claiming Nuñez owed him $9,000 for unpaid work.

However, Nuñez said she books support allegations of theft by showing discrepancies between merchandise orders and cash sales.

She also denied possessing any of Dansereau’s money, saying he took revenge by “counting the stolen money money as part of your remuneration.”

Nuñez said she plans to file a complaint with state authorities alleging Dansereau slandered her in YouTube videos and is “trying to harm my reputation and business in the Conjuration House.”

Dansereau, who worked as a paramedic, said the entire experience was “horrible,” saying the stress kept him up at night.

“This would be my final work,” he told the outlet. “In my entire career, I have never been accused of stealing.”
