Recently, the rumors that Annabelle has escaped from the locked cage was creating hype. The demonic doll was kept in a cage in Warren Occult Museum to keep the people protected from getting possessed by the evil spirit. Although the paranormal expert, Tony Spera, assured that the rumors were false, and the doll is still in the locked case. Annabelle is the same doll who has made billions of box office collections by horrifying the audiences. In this article, we will try to discover the history of the Annabelle, the rumors of the escaping of the doll, and if we need to be careful again. So let’s find out!
Annabelle is a haunted doll kept in the supernatural museum. The museum is owned by a paranormal investigator, couple Ed, and Lorraine Warren. The Conjuring Universe created a character based on the role of this doll.
Warrens said that the doll was given to a student nurse in 1970. The nurse and her roommate experienced strange behavior, and they found out that the doll was possessed by the spirit of a girl named “Annabelle”. Although the girls tried to nurture the possessed doll, the doll was getting more evil and frightening. After that, the nurse and her roommate contacted the Warren couple. Ed and Lorrain then moved the doll to their supernatural museum after pronouncing it demonically possessed. They kept the doll in a glass box at The Warrens’ Occult Museum in Monroe, Connecticut.
Joseph Laycock is the assistant professor of religious studies at Texas State University. Laycock said Warren’s museum is full of Halloween junk, books, toys, and dolls that the enthusiastic buyers can buy the books from any bookstore. He added that the possessed doll is an interesting case study in the relationship between paranormal folklore and pop culture. The incident also speculated many films based on demonic dolls, including Twilight Zone, Robert the Doll, Living Doll, Child’s Play, The Conjuring, and Dolly Dearest. Laycock suggests that the idea of possessed dolls will allow the modern paranormal investigators to find evil spirits in the most domestic and banal places.
However, science writer Sharon A. Hill criticized the over the publicity of Warren’s museum. She said that many of the legends and myths surrounding Warren could be their own doing. And people might have difficulty separating the real Warren to the Hollywood portrayal. She added that like the real-life investigators, Warren, the real-life Annabelle doll is also less impressive. And claims about Annabelle’s supernatural activities, she said, “We have nothing but the words from Ed Warren.”
The series of The Conjuring, including Annabelle in 2014, Annabelle: Creation in 2017, and Annabelle Comes Home in 2019, are inspired by The Warren’s story of the doll. The producers did not use Raggedy Ann because that would require special permission, and also the appearance of the doll would make the theme of the horror film unsettling.
The real-life Annabelle was a Raggedy Ann doll. It has been said that a demonic spirit manipulated the doll. And the roommates experienced terrifying experiences and also physical cuts after bringing the doll home. Then the Warrens performed the exorcism and took the possessed doll with them and locked it into their museum. Recently, the rumors circulated after the update on the Wikipedia page that the real Annabelle doll had escaped from the museum on 14th August 2020 at 3:00 AM.
After the rumors took considerable hype, Tony Spera addressed the people on his official YouTube channel. He provided updates about the theories in a short video and gave the fans authentic information regarding the whole case. Spera is the son-in-law of paranormal researchers Edward and Lorraine Warren. He is also a paranormal researcher who worked with the Warren’s since 1980 and is also known as an expert. He was a police officer and holds a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Connecticut and an Associate’s degree in Law Enforcement. Tony has appeared in many television reality shows and has spoken to many colleges and universities. He also worked as a consultant on two movies titled, “The Conjuring”, and “The Conjuring 2”, which was released by New Line Cinemas.
In the latest video, Spera was inside a darkly lit, red-hued museum. He spun around and revealed the doll locked in the glass case. Then Spera indicated the hollowness of the theory of her escape by saying that Annabelle has not gone out on a date with her boyfriend. He also assured the audience that if anything like that happened, he would be the first person to alert the public. Also, he has high technology security and rapid police response. His statement helped the fans to calm down, as the news of her escape was horrific. Spera reassured that the doll is safe, and he is also concerned about the safety of the people. He is aware of the threat Annabelle can cause and take her condition seriously, but the fans do not have to worry about it.
The news of the demonic doll was scary. The terrifying speculation about the doll, including how many evil spirits have possessed the doll, how deadly it could become, and the idea that we do not know much about her is petrifying. Besides, the movies that have been created inspired by the doll give an extra-chilling aura to the paranormal activities surrounding the doll. Because that makes the audience imagine more than the doll can harm them. Due to the fear factor, the franchise has also continued to grow. The Conjuring franchise has the eighth film lined up titled “The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It”, which is supposed to be released in 2020. Although the film’s launch is also on hold due to the pandemic COVID-19 and the release has been delayed to 21st June 2021. The recent rumors and speculation would help the film to draw the attention of more audiences. So we are safe for now, and we do not have to worry about Annabelle. I hope you had a fun time reading the article.
