The Annabelle doll has become a carnival attraction. What could go wrong?

Many people are familiar with the doll named Annabelle through the three movies that are part of the “Conjuring” universe. Disturbingly, the doll is now touring the country, and anyone who purchases a ticket can take pictures with it, talk to it, and touch its case. (Touching is against the rules, but videos show people making contact with the case while taking pictures.)

In order to explain how dangerous this is, it’s important to provide some background information. Like other cases that self-professed demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren were involved in that are part of the movie franchise, the Annabellefilms have little in common with the actual events surrounding the doll.

The real-life case, as recorded in the Warrens’ book The Demonologist, involved a 25-year-old nurse residing in Connecticut who was given a Raggedy Ann doll as a birthday gift by her mother. The nurse shared an apartment with a female roommate who was also a nurse. Not long after the doll’s arrival, it began to mysteriously change locations around the apartment. The women then began finding short messages written on pieces of paper, including “Help us.” They also once found three drops of blood on the doll’s chest.

Perplexed by what was happening, the women sought out a psychic medium to try to find answers. The medium informed them that the doll was inhabited by the spirit of a deceased seven-year-old girl named Annabelle Higgins, who had died near the apartment building. Feeling sympathy for Annabelle’s plight, they gave her permission to stay with them and inhabit the doll.

Continued below.

Terrifying! I know the museum shut down and both of the Warrens are deceased. I wonder what happened to all their artifacts? I wonder if they were sold? Hmmm...
It’s in the article. :) Creepy. No way I’d want anything to do with it except destroy the items with the help of a Catholic priest. :praying:

Ope! Monkey brain moment! LOL

That doesn't sound good at all!

IIRC, the museum was regularly blessed by a Catholic priest at least once a month.

Still, I don't want to mess with those objects!
