    The doll was subsequently given over to the late paranormal investigators con artists Ed and Lorraine Warren who kept it in their occult museum based in Monroe, Connecticut.

    The dude died suddenly in Gettysburg with the Annabelle doll while on the Devil’s on the Run tour. This is so stupid, but one day it’s gonna make an awesome horror movie.

      LOL, yes, their “demonic” items in real life look like something you would buy at one of those pop-up Halloween stores in a mall.

      Ed and Lorraine Warren were predatory charlatans. I don’t even believe they believed any of this is real, they just played people for money and fame.

        I love the paranormal, but in this case, and from what I have read about them, I have to agree. In the end, they got a sweet deal with movie rights, and such.

          I don’t personally believe in any of it but I still watch some paranormal/paranormal adjacent content just because it is entertaining.

          But any mention of the Warrens always sours the mood for me, they were such obvious parasitic douchebags. They really went out of their way to ruin people’s lives just so they could make a quick buck.
