The Conjuring (2013)
The Conjuring is based on the true story of the Perron family, who claimed to be tortured by supernatural entities in the seventies. Several of the family members spent time on the movie set but the mother refused to go anywhere near it because she was convinced the spirits weren’t done tormenting them. When any member of the family stepped foot on the set, an intense wind would rise out of nowhere and surround them. Crew members couldn’t detect movement in the trees or any sign of actual wind. Oh yeah, and the cast’s hotel caught on fire.
