In a swirl of supernatural speculation and online panic, the Annabelle doll missing rumors have officially been put to rest. Museum officials and paranormal investigators confirm that the infamous haunted doll, immortalized by The Conjuring franchise, is safe and sound at the Warrens’ Occult Museum in Monroe, Connecticut.
What Sparked the Viral Rumors?
The frenzy began earlier this month when the Annabelle doll was featured in the Devils on the Run Tour by the New England Society for Psychic Research (NESPR). After a stop in New Orleans, some visitors claimed the haunted doll was absent, igniting viral claims that Annabelle had vanished in Louisiana.
Adding fuel to the fire, a blaze at the nearby Nottoway Plantation resort led to wild conspiracy theories linking it to the doll’s supposed disappearance. Social media platforms like TikTok and X (formerly Twitter) exploded with concern.
Paranormal Experts Set the Record Straight
Dan Rivera, lead NESPR investigator, posted a TikTok video showing the Annabelle doll safely secured in her original glass case. “She’s not in Chicago. She’s not missing,” he assured viewers. A Facebook statement from NESPR further confirmed, “Annabelle has NOT been stolen.”
Annabelle’s Haunted Legacy Lives On
This isn’t the first time the public has feared her escape. In 2020, similar Annabelle escape rumors were debunked by Tony Spera, Ed and Lorraine Warren’s son-in-law. The doll, said to be demonically possessed since the 1970s, remains one of the most infamous relics of paranormal history.
No Cause for Alarm—Annabelle Is Home
Despite the viral hysteria, the haunted Annabelle doll is not missing. Officials confirm she is exactly where she belongs—behind glass at the Warrens’ Occult Museum. While her legend may live on in horror films and internet lore, Annabelle remains under lock and key.
