the Real Annabelle!

I am a huge sucker for horror movies! So far, I'm dying to see The Conjuring but rumour has it the doll in the movie, Annabelle, has a spin-off or prequel film documenting her origins. So here are a few facts about Annabelle.

1. Origins of evilIn 1970, a woman purchased a Raggedy Ann doll in a second-hand store as a Christmas present for her daughter, Donna, a nursing student in Hartford, Connecticut. Donna kept the doll on her bed. Everything seemed quite innocent until Donna brought Annabelle to the kitchen for breakfast table where the doll straightened out her arms and put them on the table. From there, things only became weirder. Soon, Donna and her roommate Angie often came home to find Annabelle on the couch when she’d been left locked in Donna’s room.



2. The ghost of a little girlAfter a month of Annabelle’s eerie antics, Donna decided to contact a medium. The psychic told Donna and Angie that a 7-year-old girl named Annabelle had been tragically slain on the apartment property. The child had taken residence inside Donna’s doll. Annabelle felt comfortable with Donna and Angie. The young nurses, already compassionate souls, decided that there was no harm in welcoming Annabelle into their home.

3. Positively do not openOne visitor to the Occult museum broke the rules by opening Annabelle’s box and touching the doll, apparently challenging her to "do her worst". Later that day, the man allegedly died in a motorcycle accident. His girlfriend survived, but had to spend nearly a year in the hospital recovering from her injuries.



4. Meet Annabelle

Despite achieving icon status, the original Annabelle still resides in the same humble protective box in Lorraine Warren’s Occult Museum in Moodus, Connecticut. But her sedentary lifestyle hasn’t diminished her power. According to Lorraine, Annabelle sometimes moves around and growls at unsuspecting visitors.
