A sequel, The Conjuring 2, was released on June 10,2016 THE PLOT In 1971, Roger and Carolyn Perron move into a farmhouse in Harrisville, Rhode Island, with their five daughters, Andrea, Nancy, Christine, Cindy, and April. Their dog Sadie refuses to enter the house. They find the entrance to the cellar boarded up. Paranormal events occur within the first few nights: all of the clocks stop at 3:07 AM, birds fly into their windows, and Sadie is found dead in the backyard. One night, Christine encounters a malevolent spirit. Another night, Carolyn hears clapping in the hallway and becomes trapped in the basement. Andrea and Cindy are attacked in their bedroom by a spirit believed to be the one Christine encountered. Carolyn contacts demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren, who have recently investigated a possessed doll called Annabelle. The Warrens agree to take the case. They conduct an initial investigation and conclude that the house may require an exorcism, but they need authorization from the Catholic Church and further evidence before they can proceed. They discover that the house once belonged to an accused witch named Bathsheba Sherman (a relative of Mary Towne Eastey), who sacrificed her week-old baby to the devil and killed herself in 1863 at 3:07 in the morning after cursing all who take her land. They find reports of numerous murders and suicides through the years in the houses that were built on the property. To gather evidence, they place cameras and bells around the house with the help of their assistant Drew Thomas and police officer Brad Hamilton. One morning, Bathsheba appears to Carolyn and vomits black bile into her mouth, fully possessing her. That night, from the EVPs coming from the radio, the group hears a spirit luring Cindy into the wardrobe, where she reveals a secret passage. Lorraine enters the passage and falls through the floorboards to the cellar, where she sees the spirit of a woman whom Bathsheba had long ago possessed and used to kill her child. The Perron family decides to take refuge at a motel while Ed and Lorraine take their evidence to Father Gordon, their liaison at the Catholic Church. Father Gordon explains that the approval for the exorcism would have to come directly from the Vatican, since the Perron family aren't members of the church. The Warrens' daughter Judy is attacked in their own home by Bathsheba utilizing Annabelle. Carolyn meanwhile takes Christine and April back to the house to kill them. Ed, Lorraine, and Brad find Carolyn in the cellar trying to stab Christine, with Roger and Drew preventing her. After tying Carolyn to a chair, Ed decides that the exorcism cannot wait but there is not enough time to wait for a priest. He decides to perform the exorcism himself. Though Carolyn escapes and attempts to kill April, Lorraine is able to call to Carolyn by reminding her of a special memory she shared with her family, allowing Ed to complete the exorcism and save them, lifting Bathsheba's curse. Returning home, Ed adds the haunted music box from the Perrons' house to their room of cursed artefacts they have collected from past cases.
