We would have been destitute if we had just walked away from that house.CYNTHIA PERRON: And there was no one who was going to take in seven people, five little girls.ANDREA PERRON: Also, we loved the farm. I didn’t see any feet.So I jumped up and bolted.
I just saw him as a full body apparition. The ones that came to me, if I asked them to leave, they would leave. My dad, not so much.CYNTHIA PERRON: Yes, you’re living your life and then something happens and your adrenaline goes up. Was there something in the house or on the land that caused it? Yes. We named them like pets. This is a big deal.’ ‘Nope, I’m not going. Cindy Perron.
She was at school with her friends.ANDREA PERRON: I got along fine with them. I had these Little People [a toy set popular in the 1970s]. They can be literally triggered by a smell, a sight, a sound, a color.
At first, it just started ever so slightly, and I wasn’t even sure I was feeling what I was feeling. So much tragedy. Get current address, cell phone number, email address, relatives, friends and a lot more. And I’d have to go downstairs for something, and then I would come back upstairs to finish playing and they weren’t there.They would either be moved all around in a different position than how I left them or they would all be shoved up underneath the bed.
They would stand at the top of the stairway and then it was the landing and it was the floor.CYNTHIA PERRON: Yes, my mother fell and broke her hip.ANDREA PERRON: All of us were going to go, but at the last minute, she changed her mind. What happened was we started seeing changes in my mother and she did not divulge to us what was happening to her.
And she sat bolt upright in bed, looked me directly in the eye and said, ‘Bathsheba’s curse.
And we all had multiple sighting of different spirits. So, she started the historical research and background on it.ANDREA PERRON: Yes. And my parents had sunk everything that they had into this house. At least five suicides.ANDREA PERRON: The sadness in that house. And nobody ever came to find me. It’s just about being honest.ANDREA PERRON: The house never left us, even though we left the house. But the property was absolutely magnificent. Why should we not tell this, regardless of the scrutiny that it would bring on us? She does not want to be exposed.’ And then she laid back down and she slept straight through until the next day. I’m kicking and pushing and screaming, and nobody can hear me. We know ourselves and we know who we are as individuals and anyone who wants to question it can. They spent 50 years doing it, but they also said that our story was the most compelling, the most intense, the most disturbing and the most significant haunting that they ever investigated in their career.CYNTHIA PERRON: No, we loved the farm. We have 23 records for Cindy Perron ranging in age from 33 years old to 66 years old. The Perron family moved into a country farmhouse plagued by paranormal entities, some of which the Warrens believed to be demonic. Keep in the mind that we moved there in January of 1971. We moved in during a snowstorm. And everything changed. Cindy is related to Jeanne M Farrell and Trent J Perron II as well as 1 additional person. It never left us and it never will.CYNTHIA PERRON: Too many really bad things happened, way worse than anything else.ANDREA PERRON: And the heartfelt intentions of Ed and Lorraine Warren reflect extremely well on them, and they deserve that. I’m out of here tomorrow. And the manifestation that happened to me most frequently was of a fog nature. When you realize that nobody else is in the house and you’re the only one there, and the toys are still being messed with, it can’t be one of your sisters playing a trick on you.ANDREA PERRON: It went from a blame-game that we had never, ever encountered. And they were like, ‘Oh, we’ve got to go over there.’CYNTHIA PERRON: At first, she was glad because she was like, ‘Oh, my, gosh. And he said it was bizarre. And I looked around and none of the trees were moving, nothing. She was having outrageous things happen to her, but she did not tell her five little children, obviously. Well, at the head of my stairs, I saw the father and son that had both died on the property, and their dog. And then you kind of talk yourself back down or you leave and you go to a girlfriend’s house. Of the five Perron sisters who grew up there, ANDREA PERRON: Well, let me preface our remarks by saying something that I know Cindy will agree with me about.
I had approached my mother and said, ‘Mom it’s time you know what my sisters are telling me.’ Then, when my father came home a day or two later, she sat him down at the kitchen table and said, ‘We have to talk.
We’ll drive ye mad with death and gloom.’Well, the time that Bathsheba lived was in the 1800s and that kind of usage of language had almost passed. Cynthia Ann Herron (born September 26, 1961), professionally known as It was like a 70-mile-an-hour wind. We had an exterminator out twice, but he could not find a breeding place anywhere in the house for them.We were about five or six months into the house. And they were all intermarried and they were all from the original colonists that came to this country in 1620.CYNTHIA PERRON: Although some of the people that died on the property did not live on the property. And when you acknowledged what was happening in the house, their work was done.ANDREA PERRON: We were excited and relieved because we could talk about what was happening to us to somebody that actually would listen and believe us.CYNTHIA PERRON: Ed Warren would sit down with us and say, ‘Okay, baby, tell me what’s going on,’ and we’d just spill our guts to him.ANDREA PERRON: It fundamentally changed every one of us, absolutely. It’s got to be a heart-felt connection.
