‘Annabelle is not missing', authorities confirm whereabouts of ‘haunted' doll after viral missing rumors
Amid reports that the real-life Annabelle doll disappeared, museum authorities have spoken out regarding her whereabouts. The 'demonically possessed' Raggedy Ann doll, which has grown into a staple of the horror genre, is said to have escaped her casing during the Devils on the Run Tour, which was organised by the New England Society for Psychic Research (NESPR). The doll, which is usually kept at NESPR's Warrens' Occult Museum, was on a New Orleans tour early in May. The museum was established by paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren. Online rumors that she had somehow disappeared during her Louisiana trip started to spread after some tourists said they didn't see the doll while on a tour. At the same time, a fire at the adjacent Nottoway Plantation, which is now the Nottoway Resort in White Castle, heightened rumors that Annabelle's purported abduction was somehow related to the fire. Also Read: Why is Annabelle doll on US tour? Interesting facts about 'haunted' doll and 'Devils on the Run' In a TikTok video released on Saturday, NESPR lead investigator Dan Rivera refuted rumors that the doll had gone missing. 'I'm here at the museum right now, and I just wanna show you guys that Annabelle is in the Warrens' Occult Museum,' Rivera remarked. 'Let's go inside and let's check.' He went into the museum and approached the doll, which was placed in a wooden case. Rivera reassured followers that 'Annabelle is not missing; she's not in Chicago,' adding that they would be attending the 2025 Rock Island Roadhouse Esoteric Expo on October 4 in Rock Island, Illinois. On its Facebook page, NESPR stated: 'It's a Rumor... Annabelle has NOT been stolen. The doll is safely in place at the Warren Occult Museum.' The Warren Occult Museum is situated at 30 Knollwood Drive, Monroe, Connecticut. It is no longer accessible to the general public due to zoning restrictions, but a small number of people can still access it. The reports about Anabelle's disappearance has caused significant alarm on the internet before. In 2020, Ed and Lorrain Warren's son-in-law, Tony Spera, had to address speculation that she had gone missing from her enclosure.

Manhattanhenge 2025: Date, time and best spots to capture the phenomenon
Twice a year, New Yorkers eagerly await a stunning natural event known as Manhattanhenge. Around late May and again in mid-July, the setting sun lines up perfectly with Manhattan's east-west streets, creating a breathtaking glow that lights up the city's iconic grid. It's a unique and magical moment that draws photographers and city lovers alike to witness this rare urban sunset spectacle. Also Read: Why is Annabelle doll on US tour? Interesting facts about 'haunted' doll and 'Devils on the Run' According to Scientific American, Manhattanhenge owes its magic to the city's unique layout, established by the Commissioners' Plan of 1811. This design created a rectilinear grid that runs north of Houston Street to just below 155th Street, tilted 29 degrees east of true north to follow the island's natural angle. Because of this tilt, the sunset aligns perfectly with the cross streets not on the solstice, but during specific dates in late May and early July. Manhattanhenge occurs twice a year, offering two chances to witness the striking sunset alignment. In 2025, the first viewing happens on May 28 (half sun) at 8:13 p.m. EDT and May 29 (full sun) at 8:12 p.m. EDT. The second opportunity arrives on July 11 (full sun) at 8:20 p.m. EDT, followed by July 12 (half sun) at 8:22 p.m. EDT. These are the best evenings to catch the sun perfectly framed by Manhattan's grid, as reported by Sky Earth. Also Read: Sonic boom, not earthquake: SpaceX Dragon capsule startles Los Angeles, California | Videos To catch the best view of Manhattanhenge, head to one of Manhattan's wide east-west streets with a clear line of sight toward New Jersey across the Hudson River. Some of the best spots to catch the sun dramatically set in perfect alignment with the city's grid include 14th, 23rd, 34th (includes the Empire State Building), 42nd, 57th, and 79th Streets. Another top spot to view the phenomenon is the Tudor City Bridge and Hunter's Point South Park, which offer especially striking views. However, Manhattanhenge turns the streets of New York City into a glowing urban canyon, attracting crowds eager to catch the rare sunset alignment. So, just be prepared to share the moment with plenty of fellow sky-watchers.
