Dark tourism expert reveals chilling details amid Annabelle doll's vanishing rumours, ‘We may be dealing with…'
Amidst fears and speculations over Annabelle's US tour, one specialist in dark tourism has uncovered the eerie past of the 'demonically possessed' doll. Horror enthusiasts went into a frenzy last week following rumors that the haunting doll vanished during her ongoing '2025 Devils on the Run Tour.' Annabelle and other ghostly items have been on display for fans throughout the US during this tour. The renowned Raggedy Ann doll has appeared in several iconic horror films, including Annabelle and The Conjuring. Following her track record of evil behavior, many followers were terrified to learn that she had reportedly been lost during her transportation in New Orleans, Louisiana. Also Read: Elon Musk's viral 'hallucinating' video sparks buzz on social media; 'Somebody clocked him' Rumors circulated that Annabelle disappeared during a sold-out event held at the Ghost City Tours office in New Orleans from May 13 to May 14. Ten prisoners fled from the Orleans Justice Center, and a fire erupted at the Nottoway Plantation. The origin of the fire is still unknown. Many horror enthusiasts assumed Annabelle was responsible for this series of frightening incidents. Matthew Bartels, a content strategist for US Ghost Adventures and an expert in the dark tourism sector, discussed this strange coincidence with The Mirror US, saying: 'Her disappearance raises many questions about her true capabilities following the chaos that ensued as she visited New Orleans.' 'The Warrens warned the general public to never let her leave her case. Now that she has, we may be dealing with greater paranormal powers than we are prepared for,' Bartels added. Annabelle's caregivers have since refuted these speculations, but horror enthusiasts have recently developed a renewed interest in her past. While Robert the Doll is the most notorious haunted doll in the world, Annabelle ranked at second, as per the US Ghost Adventures website. According to reports by US Ghost Adventures, the main target of Annabelle's fury was Donna's friend Lou, who felt uncomfortable in its presence. 'Notes to Lou were left on scraps of parchment paper despite neither Donna nor Angie ever having any on hand. Things escalated when Annabelle physically assaulted Lou, scratching him across the chest as she tried to strangle him.'

Lou Teasdale and Andy Carroll put on loved-up display amid 'engagement' rumours
Footballer Andy Carroll and his girlfriend Lou Teasdale are currently enjoying a sun-soaked getaway to Ibiza - and they look more loved-up than ever in their latest snap Andy Carroll and his girlfriend Lou Teasdale appeared utterly loved-up in a recent photo from their Ibiza holiday. The 36 year old footballer and the 41 year old makeup artist demonstrated their strong bond as they held hands by the beach. Lou caught attention in a small halter-neck bikini with a distinctive brown and blue fossil print, showcasing her stunning figure. Andy, on the other hand, looked fashionable in bold leopard-print swimming shorts and a beige abstract shirt. This comes amidst speculation that Andy is planning to propose to former One Direction hair stylist Lou once his divorce from ex-The Only Way Is Essex star Billi Mucklow is finalised. The former Liverpool striker and his TOWIE star ex, Billi, announced their split last September after quietly separating earlier in the year, ending an 11-year relationship. Andy and Billi share three children - Arlo, Wolf, and Marvel Mae - and she also looks after his two children, Emilie Rose, 15, and Lucas, 14, from a previous relationship. In 2022, Andy's wedding to Billi was nearly cancelled when he was photographed drunkenly passed out in bed with two women in Dubai during his stag do. Billi forgave him after one of the women insisted that nothing sexual happened. The reality star only forgave the footballer after Taylor Jane Wilkey, who was one of the women in the bed, insisted that nothing had happened and that Andy had acted very gentlemanly towards them. She apologised for the photos and insisted the two never had sex. Less than two years after saying 'I do', Andy and his wife have called it quits, with Andy confirming the couple are in the midst of divorce proceedings following 'a hard few months for our family'. In a candid statement, Andy revealed: "Billi and I have privately separated earlier this year and we are underway with our divorce proceedings." Despite whispers that Billi was caught off guard by the split, her mates have spoken out and claimed she had an inkling Andy was seeing someone else, though she couldn't put a name to the face. Not long after, Andy stepped out with new flame Lou, making their romance public at a Halloween bash dressed as pop icon Taylor Swift and NFL star Travis Kelce. Andy made things Instagram official with Lou, posting a loved-up photo captioned: "Happy people happy places." This followed Lou's own festive photo dump, featuring the pair enjoying the Christmas season, including a romantic snap from Winter Wonderland. Andy didn't hold back on throwing shade at Billi as he opened up about his fresh start with Lou. In a heartfelt interview with The Times, Andy couldn't help but sing Lou's praises: "I've seen a different world since I've been with Lou, This Christmas, like she does every Christmas, she will go with her daughter to look after the isolated elderly. She's a volunteer for Choose Love and a campaigner for LGBTQ+. She says to me, 'Why would you hate anyone?' That's someone I need in my life." A source told The Sun: "Andy is very close to proposing to Lou - they are madly in love. She is spending as much time as she can with him in France and Andy has never been happier. He's been telling friends his divorce can't come quick enough. Lou is exactly what he needs because she is a calming influence on him and it's noticeable the change she's had on him to everyone around them.'

Rob Beckett: ‘I've done a lot of therapy… I had incredibly low self-worth'
How do famous names spend their precious downtime? In our weekly My Saturday column, celebrities reveal their weekend virtues and vices. This week: Rob Beckett 6am Weekends are all about the kids and are planned like a military operation. My wife Lou does more in the week than me, so I tend to take the lead on a Saturday. The kids [two girls, nine and seven] come in and are allowed to play on their iPads until 7.30. We've also trained them to let the whippets Fred and George out for a wee. We have a little Nespresso machine in the bedroom, so we'll treat ourselves to a coffee. 8.30am I take the girls to their clubs – gymnastics, football or drama. If it's football, I'll stay and watch. I'm very laid-back, but inside I'm screaming, 'There's a bit of space there, get to it' – but I don't say it out loud. I focus my energy on slagging off other parents I don't like with parents I do like. If it's not football, I'll go for a walk or to Tom Allen's for a cup of tea. 11am After the clubs we'll go to the local café. It's one level up from a greasy spoon but one level down from Gail's. 12.30pm I take the kids swimming, or we do admin jobs. Last Saturday I had to collect some rupees as I'm going to India to film Rob & Romesh Vs Bollywood. 3pm I used to be terrible at sitting still, but I've got much better at meditating, breathing and calming myself down. After 37 years of having only negative voices in my head, it's felt quite alien to have some positive ones in there, but it's a huge relief. 4pm I'll spend some time reflecting on being in a better space. I've done a lot of therapy, and the short story is I had incredibly low self-worth for a number of reasons, and I replaced that lack with the reaction of a crowd, which made me feel important and special and powerful – but then when I didn't do well, it made me feel weak, useless and rubbish, so my life was very up and down. I was running on a poverty mindset, but I've now realised that I have self-worth within me as opposed to the bloke who goes out and tells a few jokes. 5.30pm The day will be totally reconfigured if there's a good football game on. I like to get all my good parenting done before 5.30 so I can watch that game. If Arsenal score, I'll do a little fist pump. If Tottenham or West Ham concede, I'll get on WhatsApp to wind everyone up. 7pm Food is very fluid at the weekend so we might prepare a Sunday roast on a Saturday evening, but if friends are coming round, I can't be bothered to make it a big deal, so we'll get a takeaway. I'm out a lot during the week so I'm happy for Lou to go to the theatre in the West End on a Saturday night and I love just being at home with the kids. We'll watch Gladiators and The Masked Singer. 8.30pm The kids will have a bath then we play a game called Trap, where I lie on top of them, and I have to hold them both before they escape. It's like low-grade jujitsu. 9.30pm If Lou's at home, we'll watch a bit of Below Deck or The Real Housewives and have a glass of red wine. If not, I'll settle in and watch sport on my own – football, boxing, UFC, whatever's on. 11.30pm I can't sleep until Lou gets home. I feel like a bit of a protective dad. We track each other's phones so when I see she's approaching Orpington station I'll book a cab for her. I'm terrible at getting to sleep so I'll either read a comedy biography – I'm reading Judd Apatow's book – or a book on stoicism before I finally conk out.

ITV Coronation Street's Joe Layton breaks silence on killer twist after just months on soap
Coronation Street actor Joe Layton has spoken out on the killer twist that saw his character Mick Michaelis murder Craig Tinker after just a few months on the cobbles. Coronation Street' s Joe Layton has opened up about the shocking plot twist that sees his character morph into a murderer following an intense week on the cobbles. As viewers of the ITV soap will recall, Layton only made his first appearance in February as Mick Michaelis. Mick trailed his wife, Lou, to Weatherfield and the couple were spotted moving into Mawdsley Street, just behind Chesney and Gemma Winter-Brown's residence. The pair quickly struck up a friendship with their new neighbours, but while Chesney was slow to catch on, it soon emerged that Mick was the van man who had been hounding him for weeks. Regarding the couple, it was known they had several children, who hadn't yet appeared on-screen at that point. However, fans swiftly deduced that Brody was their eldest child, based on comments he made in the Secure Training Centre (STC) about his parents' move to Weatherfield to Dylan Wilson. Upon Mick and Lou's arrival, it was confirmed that they would play a pivotal role in unveiling DC Kit Green's past. The truth has since been disclosed to viewers through flashback scenes depicting the teenagers as friends, until a tragic decision drove a wedge between them, reports the Manchester Evening News. In addition to the revelation that Mick was incarcerated for a crime both he and Kit were involved in, it also came to light that Lou had an affair with Kit while Mick was serving time. Fast forward to the present day, Kit stumbles upon Lou and Mick at Speed Daal, enjoying a celebratory meal with Brody, who had just been released from the STC. However, his suspicions were aroused when he accidentally overheard that Brody was 16, leading him to piece together his history with Lou and the possibility that he might be Brody's real father, not Mick. Subsequently, Mick discovered that he might not be Brody's biological dad following a comment from Kit, which sent him into a furious rampage. His actions resulted in tragedy as he claimed the life of unsuspecting police officer Craig Tinker. Reflecting on his stint in the soap, Joe expressed gratitude for his experience, labelling it a "real gift". On being asked about what drew him to the role of Mick, he explained: "I think for me, the opportunity to step into Corrie for six months with a start and a finish point is a real gift. "A lot of people step in and they're on a year contract or six months with a view to more and you're getting the scripts as they come and working out how you slot in, whereas it was kind of a gift for me to know 'you start here, and you finish here.'". Joe elaborated further: "I sat and had a Zoom call with Kate Brooks, the producer, and she walked me through all of it and my first reaction was 'how are we going to cram all that into six months?' But then I started working on Corrie and realised how fast it moves." Now, commenting on the unexpected killer plot twist, Joe, who is set to depart from the show this summer, revealed: "I know that when I got the offer through [for the job] it was going to involve killing someone and then when I had the Zoom with Kate, she said it was going to be Craig. "Then on my first day, I arrived in the green room and I met Colson [Smith, who played Craig] and he said, 'I think you're going to kill me!' And I said, 'I think I might!' It's also credit to Colson because everyone at Corrie has been really lovely, but Colson in particular has been so kind and welcoming to me. "I put myself in his shoes, there must be loads of different things going on for him with being in the soap for so long and it being part of who he is really. So that's credit to Colson. So I knew from Kate when I said 'yes' to the role." Joe spoke about the preparation for the intense scenes depicting Colson's departure as Craig, revealing that they collaborated with a fight director for the sequence where his character Mick attacks Craig. "Duncan Foster was the episode director and he's such a brilliant director so a lot of it is down to him and the crew creating an atmosphere that's safe and calm and gives both actors space to get into the headspaces they need to go to." Discussing the prep work behind the demanding filming schedule, he explained: "In terms of the prep, for something like that, and that whole block was incredibly intense and emotional, I get all of my work done early so I'm not sitting in work on the day. I listen to a lot of music and try and relax. Generally, I'm quite quiet and keep myself to myself.."
