A WOMAN who lived at one of the most haunted houses in the world has revealed her most spine-chilling moments – but she still sleeps there regularly.<\/p>\n

Madison Heinzen is now the caretaker of the Rhode Island farmhouse that inspired The Conjuring movie – and it\u2019s every bit as creepy as you might expect.<\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n

From seeing "slenderman", to hearing strange growls, Madison, 23, is no stranger to things that go bump in the night.<\/p>\n

Her family used to own the property – and she was just 13-years-old when she first watched The Conjuring in the cinema. <\/p>\n

Madison, who now hosts ghost tours at the farmhouse, shared some of her most terrifying encounters – and revealed how she never goes to the basement alone. <\/p>\n

Madison told The Sun: "The most scared I have ever been was in the earlier days.\u00a0<\/p>\n

"I remember the first day I walked into the house I was excited, everyone was excited and so we all split off into different groups.<\/p>\n

"It was me, my mum, my husband now and my brother.<\/p>\n

"We were checking out different parts of the house and I heard this, what sounded like a growl to me, it was above my head and I was looking through stuff the owner left behind.<\/p>\n

"It freaked me out because I was like, maybe I'm not meant to be touching that stuff, maybe they don't like that. <\/p>\n

<\/picture>FINAL MESSAGE <\/span><\/p>\n

Matthew Perry’s eerie last post shows star in pool ‘where he drowned’<\/h3>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

"So that was one of the most scary experiences just because I heard it and no one else did."<\/p>\n

Madison said another "profound" encounter happened when she was doing an interview – but this time she wasn't the only witness.<\/p>\n

She was sitting doing an interview at the kitchen table when it was interrupted by a disturbing sharp sound.<\/p>\n

"All of a sudden, clear as day, you hear these two claps," she said. <\/p>\n

"We all looked at each other cause we were all standing still and I was like \u2018oh my God\u2019 because that was something that happened in the movies that they would play hide and clap."<\/p>\n

To this day, she still has "no idea" where the sound came from as the whole house is monitored by surveillance cams.<\/p>\n

Hide and clap is a key part of the first chilling Conjuring movie as it sees characters wear a blind fold and try to find the other players by listening for a clap.<\/p>\n

The movie takes a dark turn when characters begin to hear the claps in unusual places – such as in the basement.<\/p>\n

This is a real feature of the house and Madison "hates to be down there alone" because "it's pretty creepy" she's afraid of seeing something.<\/p>\n

We were checking out different parts of the house and I heard this, what sounded like a growl to me, it was above my head <\/p>\n

She told of one time when she was doing a live-stream from the chilling cellar and a ball "completely rolled off on its own".<\/p>\n

Madison has also seen "shadow figures" inside the house too that she reported was "like a black mask, like slender man is the best way to describe it – no face, no features<\/span>, no light".<\/p>\n

"But you could see it casted on the walls and other places, and when you are all alone seeing it you are like \u2018Oh my God\u2019."<\/p>\n

Despite appearing unfazed by the ghostly encounters, the brave lass admitted she does get "spooked" but tries to focus more on how "unbelievable" these experiences are.<\/p>\n

Guests of the terrifying house tours are rarely disappointed by the display, and Madison will use a range of specialist equipment to help detect paranormal activity.<\/p>\n

She mainly uses dowsing rods – copper rods that supposedly move with supernatural energy- and spirit boxes – which are meant to use channels to create static white noise.<\/p>\n

Spirits can supposedly use this noise to communicate and can make letters and sounds.<\/p>\n

"I have heard spirits say my name, I have had them ask and answer questions and we have heard child's laughter," Madison said.<\/p>\n

Another creepy encounter happened when all the guests were gathered together but "little footsteps" could be heard pitter- pattering around upstairs.<\/p>\n

She explained that most haunted houses have a historical murder that can be linked back to the spooky activity.<\/p>\n

But with the Conjuring house, the cause of the haunting is unclear.<\/p>\n

"We have been told it could be native American grounds because a lot of wars were fought, like king Philip's war, which was in the 1700s, but it's really hard to say," Madison said. <\/p>\n

"We think there are a lot of factors that are playing into why it is the way it is today."<\/p>\n

Spooky episodes have continued throughout different ownership of the house.<\/p>\n

One of the past residents even warned that the lights should be kept on at night – as he sensed there was something untoward happening at the property.<\/p>\n

The house is fitted with frankincense plants that hang in the kitchen to ward off evil spirits – although they occasionally spin of their own accord.<\/p>\n

Madison\u2019s first frightening experience happened when she was just a kid.<\/p>\n

She had an unusual upbringing – with paranormal investigators for parents.<\/p>\n

While most of her friends would spend family time going to the cinema or on a trip to the beach, Madison\u2019s folks would take her ghost hunting.<\/p>\n

People should tread very careful when trying to contact the dead, especially relatives who have died, according to Madison.<\/p>\n

I heard a voice say my name out loud and it freaked me out<\/p>\n

She warned spirits can "play tricks" and without professional guidance contacting the them can become "dangerous".<\/p>\n

The Maine resident gave an example of this and shared how she once heard what she thought was her mum "nagging" her.<\/p>\n

But when she went to check she was shocked to find her mum was nowhere near.<\/p>\n

"I heard a voice say my name out loud and it freaked me out," she said.<\/p>\n

"I thought it was my mum, it sounded distant like your mum nagging you, it was repeatedly \u2018Madison, Madison\u2019, so I\u2019m thinking what does my mum need?<\/p>\n

"So I went out to talk to her and she was like \u2018I wasn't on that side of the house I was on the complete opposite side\u2019 so there was no way I would have heard it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

"It was really creepy because it sounded just like her yelling at me because we were the only two inside the house."<\/p>\n

Despite her strange hobby this hasn't stood in the way of love for Madison – as she recently tied the knot with her partner Jacob.<\/p>\n

"My husband already knew my dad was a ghost hunter so we started bringing him along and he was like, 'Woah this is so cool\u2019," she said.<\/p>\n

"So he's always been really supportive, but I don\u2019t think he would necessarily go out on his own, I think he would take me or another person with him."<\/p>\n
