The location of the infamous ‘haunted’ Annabelle doll has been revealed following frenzied speculation about its whereabouts.
In recent days, social media was flooded with claims that the ‘demonically possessed’ Raggedy Ann doll had gone missing, causing horror buffs to become concerned.
The Raggedy Anne Doll’s paranormal legend dates back to the 1970s when it was apparently given as a gift to nurse in Hartford, Connecticut, before it began exhibiting disturbing behavior.
Annabelle was thought to be possessed by the spirit of a dead child and was said to move on her own, leave terrifying handwritten notes and even allegedly attacked someone.
The case caught the attention of paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren who concluded Annabelle was being manipulated by a demonic entity – and the doll later became the subject of The Conjuring films.
Due to her popularity, the real Annabelle doll was removed from the secured case she was displayed in and was included as part of a traveling US exhibition Devils on the Run which began touring earlier this month.
But recently, fans began to speculate the doll had escaped from her box during the tour hosted by the New England Society for Psychic Research, per The Independent.
However, after countless rumors and terrified fans, the society’s lead investigator Dan Rivera has finally come forward to debunk the theories in a TikTok video.

‘I’m here at the museum right now, and I just wanna show you guys that Annabelle is in the Warrens’ Occult Museum. Let’s go inside and let’s check,’ he began the video.
As he weaved his way through he exhibits, he approached the doll sitting in her secured wooden case.

‘Annabelle is not missing. She is not in Chicago.’
He added: ‘She has never been missing.’
However, Dan did advise horror fans that they would get the chance to see the ‘possessed’ toy at the Rock Island Roadhouse Esoteric Expo in Illinois on October 4.
The New England Society for Psychic Research also posted on their Facebook to assure fans: ‘It’s a rumor… Annabelle has NOT been stolen. The doll is safely in place at the Warren Occult Museum.’
With all of the rumors circulating and the tour still underway, one haunted doll collector – who houses 54 ‘spirits’ – argued the doll should not be taken on tour.
In other Annabelle news, this wasn’t the first time the terrifying doll has caused panic online.
In 2020, Tony Spera, the son-in-law of Ed and Lorraine Warren, also had to clear up rumors of her escape.

‘I’m here to tell you something, I don’t know if you want to hear this or not, but Annabelle did not escape,’ Spera said in a selfie video as he dramatically turned his camera to bring the infamous doll into view behind him.
He added: ‘Annabelle’s here. She didn’t go anywhere. She didn’t take a trip. She didn’t fly first class and she didn’t go out to visit her boyfriend,’ he said as he showed Annabelle in her glass case.
‘So here she is. Let’s put the rumors to rest, guys.
‘I appreciate all the concern. I’d be concerned if Annabelle really did leave because she’s nothing to play with.’
