She may look like a sweet, stitched-up Raggedy Ann doll but Annabelle’s history is anything but innocent.
This week on Macabre Mondays, we dive deep into the true story behind one of the most famous haunted objects in history. You’ve seen her in The Conjuring films, but the real Annabelle case is far stranger than fiction. From eerie notes and physical attacks to a chilling investigation by Ed and Lorraine Warren, the events surrounding this doll will leave you questioning what’s really out there.
We also unravel the skeptics' theories, Hollywood’s retelling, the viral 2020 escape hoax, and the shocking 2025 death of the lead investigator, Dan Rivera, during her haunted tour.
