Hell House Is Open for Overnight Stays at $666 a Night
A night in the Hell House, the Connecticut one, now runs $666, and as of last week somebody will actually take the booking.
The 19th-century house at 89 Buckingham Road in Seymour, Connecticut started welcoming overnight guests on November 5, FOX61 reported, under three new owners. The property’s own site credits comedian Matt Rife, paranormal investigator Elton Castee and Josh Yozura, the same group behind the Warrens’ former home in Monroe.
It Was Television’s Very First Haunting
Horror audiences have met this address before, whether or not they remember the street name. “Hell House” was the series premiere of Discovery’s A Haunting, which aired October 28, 2005, and the episode walks through the Beckwith family moving in during 1998 and the disturbances they reported afterward. The family brought in Ed and Lorraine Warren, and the episode depicts exorcisms being performed in the house. Years later, by the episode’s account, construction crews turned up Indigenous burials nearby and the trouble started again.
That single hour of basic cable has done a lot of work over two decades. A Haunting ran for years off the template it set in that house, and the Warren case files it drew on have gone on to feed a long run of Conjuring movies.
Eight Guests and a Spiritual Liability Waiver
Stays run from 4 p.m. to noon the next day and sleep up to eight people at a flat rate rather than per head. The exact address arrives only after a booking is confirmed, bookers have to be 18 or older, and guests sign waivers covering both physical harm and, in the site’s own phrasing, afflictions including possession and psychic wounds. The house supplies the equipment, a ghost-hunting kit it values at more than $25,000 across 50-plus devices, and leaves guests to record whatever they find.
Castee told FOX61 he spent a night there before agreeing to buy it. By his account a ball came down the stairs, the group thinned out one person at a time, and a gas leak developed in the basement, which he credits with sending everyone outside. He bought the place anyway. Renovations he described include a Red Room keyed to the family’s account of where their son was shut in, a basement converted for seances, and a sanctuary holding a green toy flashlight the Beckwiths reportedly used to settle their youngest.
Rife Keeps Buying Warren Real Estate
This is the second one. Rife and Castee bought the Warrens’ Monroe house with its basement occult museum in the summer of 2025, an arrangement that made Rife a five-year guardian of the Annabelle doll rather than its owner. The doll itself has since turned up on display in Salem. Seymour now gives the group a second Connecticut address with a television episode attached to it.
Three all-expenses-paid overnight stays are being given away in a sweepstakes running through December 27. Everyone else pays.
