The Rhode Island farmhouse that inspired the 2013 horror movie "The Conjuring" has been sold to a Boston developer who plans to keep it open to the public.

啟發2013年恐怖電影《厲陰宅》的羅德島農舍，已賣給波士頓一名房地產商，而他打算繼續對外開放這棟房舍。

The 18th century home was sold for $1.525 million, far higher than the $1.2 million asking price.

這棟18世紀的房舍以152萬5000美元（逾4500萬台幣）售出，遠比開價120萬美元高。

"This purchase is personal for me," said buyer Jacqueline Nunez, owner of WonderGroup LLC. "It’s not a real estate development. It’s around my own beliefs."

買家為WonderGroup有限責任公司老闆賈桂琳‧努涅茲。她說：「這樁買賣是出於個人考量，不是為了房產開發，而是關於我自身的信仰。」

Nunez plans to continue the paranormal business. Guests will be able to continue the nightly paranormal investigations, day tours will resume and there will be livestreamed events.

努涅茲打算延續這棟房舍的超自然商業活動，訪客將可進行夜晚超自然探險，白天觀光導覽也會恢復，還會有直播活動。
