The Conjuring: The Last Rites is yet to hit theatres, but its director Michael Chaves has already lived through a horror tale of his own. During the film’s shoot in England, he stayed at an old residence called The Old Vicarage—a house so ancient and mysterious it doesn’t even have a proper address. What happened there shook him deeply.
“Now I believe in the supernatural”
Chaves admitted that his work on the film changed his beliefs forever. He shared:
“My experiences on The Conjuring: The Last Rites have made me a believer. Talking to the Smurls and listening to the conviction in their voices was powerful. They were honest, intelligent people, and what they went through was traumatic. It truly resonated with me.”
Haunted Nights in The Old Vicarage
The director recalled chilling moments from his stay at The Old Vicarage, a residence that once housed vicars working at a nearby church. Built a few hundred years ago, the place carried a dark presence.
He revealed two unsettling incidents:
- His daughter captured a shadowy photo resembling a priest inside the house.
- One night, he distinctly heard two men talking upstairs, even though no one was there.
For Chaves, these encounters were more terrifying than any horror scene he could direct.
