Some creators have linked the Anabelle doll being on tour to other recent major news events, including the Nottoway Plantation Fire, and the escape of 10 inmates from a jail in New Orleans. Rumors about the doll have been extreme, and people have been seriously spooked. In a video shared on Facebook by Buell, Dan Rivera of the New England Society for Psychic Research explained where the doll is. "Annabelle is in the Warren's Occult Museum," Rivera says in the video.
