The Real Annabelle doll incorporates a haunted earlier
The show-stopping item that will be on display from Warren’s Occult Museum is, of course, the real Annabelle doll – a classic Raggedy Ann Doll with a chilling history.
The story of the real Annabelle doll dates back to 1970 when the mother of a girl named Donna purchased the doll from a hobby store for her daughter. Donna, who was a college student living with a roommate at the time, noticed that the doll started exhibiting signs of paranormal activity by mysteriously appearing in different locations or rooms.
Soon, eerie handwritten messages began to appear on parchment paper around the house, written in child-like handwriting. Alarmed, Donna sought the help of a medium after discovering what appeared to be bloodstains on the doll.
With the assistance of the medium, a séance was conducted, and Donna eventually communicated with the spirit of a troubled woman named Annabelle Higgins. Feeling compassion for the spirit, Donna allowed the doll to remain in their home.
However, the doll’s paranormal activity soon took a dark turn, revealing that the spirit attached to the doll was not that of a child but of a malevolent entity that had deceived Donna.
Lou, a friend of Donna and her roommate, claimed to have had violent encounters with the doll. He asserted that the doll had choked him while he was sleeping and even left scratch marks on his chest.
After the disturbing experiences, Donna sought the help of Drew and Lorraine Warren, who assisted in cleansing their home of malevolent spirits and took possession of the doll.
The Warrens have reported ill-fated occurrences for those who have interacted with the real Annabelle doll in a disrespectful manner or made disparaging remarks about it. Many individuals have experienced unexplainable and violent phenomena after such encounters.
