• Is Matt Rife trying to trademark 'Conjuring House'? What to know (providencejournal.com) — A company tied to YouTuber Elton Castee has bought the former Monroe home of famed paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren and is seeking to trademark the phrase “Conjuring House” for tours and museum-style visits. Court filings in Rhode Island reveal competing efforts by TV ghost hunter Jason Hawes and Castee’s group to control the original Conjuring House, while Monroe land records confirm the Warren property’s recent sale to Castee’s Haunted Homes LLC.
