Ep 155 – From the Patreon: Annabelle

Haunted Hospitality

This episode, we’re venturing outside of the South to discuss Annabelle, possibly the world’s most famous haunted doll story. In the Conjuring movies, Annabelle is a tall, porcelain-esque doll with an angry, vengeful expression. She is possessed by a demon and, to say the least, exhibits some violent tendencies. And while the actual Annabelle is a much sweeter-looking Raggedy Ann doll, she is allegedly just as violent as her onscreen counterpart.

The story goes that Annabelle was given to Donna, a 28-year-old nurse, by Donna’s mother in 1970. It soon became clear that Annabelle was more than just a doll when she began moving around the apartment Donna shared with her roommate and eventually attacked the roommate’s fiancé. Soon after, Ed and Lorraine Warren came to investigate, becoming so concerned they removed Annabelle from the apartment altogether.

In this episode, we discuss the story of Annabelle and what we think of it — plus, Robin talks about the time she *thought* she had a real-life encounter with Annabelle!
