Is Annabelle responsible for Louisiana plantation house fire, New Orleans prison break? Evil doll's tour sparks panic
With the anticipated release of another Annabelle sequel this year, the infamous haunted doll has been making the rounds in the US, sending social media users into a frenzy. Ryan Daniel Buell, a paranormal expert and ex-host of Paranormal State, shared footage of the doll's ongoing tour on TikTok, garnering the attention of millions of viewers. 'The energy is definitely different here. The (New England Society of Psychic Research) guys invited me to carry her in… not gonna lie, I was saying the Lord's Prayer the entire time,' he stated. Items, such as Annabelle, are being displayed throughout the nation by the Devils on the Run Tour from the Warrens Occult Museum collection in Monroe. One of the Warrens' most well-known case files, Annabelle served as the inspiration for three horror films titled 'Annabelle,' which are an integral component of a broader cinematic universe that started with the 2013 film 'The Conjuring.' The real Annabelle is a more conventional Raggedy Ann doll, but the one in the films is a porcelain doll with a distinctive design. The doll was presented from a mother to her daughter, a nursing student, the Warrens said. According to SyFy, she and her roommate experienced a few unsettling incidents at their apartment before a medium informed them that the doll was possessed by the spirit of a young girl named Annabelle who passed away where the property stood.

The Parish Sheriff's Office informed that eleven prisoners deemed "armed and dangerous" escaped from a New Orleans jail on Friday morning. According to the sheriff's office, the prisoners were discovered missing at the Orleans Parish Jail during a regular headcount around 8:30 am. The prisoners are believed to have fled sometime after midnight. Sheriff Susan Hutson described it as a 'very serious and unacceptable situation' during a press conference, without describing how they fled. In Louisiana, a former plantation home that was constructed in 1859 was destroyed by fire, damaging most of the historic building. Amid its ongoing tour, Annabelle visited to Louisiana and then to San Antonio, Texas. 'Annabelle comes to Louisiana, a historic home burns down and 11 inmates escape from Jail… now she's in San Antonio, Texas…… waiting… go home Annabelle we don't want your company….,' one X user wrote. 'So they took that haunted #Annabelle doll to New Orleans, and the next day the #NottowayPlantation--one of the most historically brutal sugar plantations a few miles away, burned to rubbble??' a second user said in a post on X. 'Three days ago they moved Annabelle, one of the most haunted dolls from Monroe, Connecticut to New Orleans, Louisiana and now the largest sugarcane plantation in Louisiana burned down AND 11 inmates in a New Orleans Prison escape. Didn't the Warren's say she should never be moved,' a third user asked. However, these are just speculations and no confirmation has been provided in regards to such claims.

Horror fans spooked as Annabelle doll goes on tour despite edict it should never be moved
A haunted doll being toured across America has spooked social media users after organizers ignored a chilling warning that it should never be moved. The Raggedy Ann figure, Annabelle, is the focus of fevered attention as another sequel in The Conjuring Universe is set to be released this year. But what really has TikTokers rattled is the Devils On The Run Tour, which is displaying items including Annabelle from the now-closed Warrens Occult Museum collection in Monroe, Connecticut. The doll captured the imagination of millions after paranormal investigator and former host of Paranormal State, Ryan Daniel Buell, posted videos of the occult tour. Yet many are deeply unsettled that the Warrens' warnings that Annabelle should never be moved are being flouted. Paranormal researchers Ed and Lorraine Warren set up their museum after investigating the doll in the 1970s following a haunting encounter. The 3ft tall plaything was a gift to a Hartford, Connecticut, nurse in 1970 who brought it home. But she and her roommates began reporting unexplained behavior from the doll, according to the New England Society for Psychic Research (NESPR). Annabelle reportedly moved on her own and at one point attacked the fiance of one of its owners. That's when the Warrens stepped in to investigate. The couple claimed the doll was being manipulated by a spirit and performed an exorcism before taking it away with them. Annabelle then became one of the most well-known haunted items following the Conjuring and Annabelle movie franchises. Now, as she tours the country with other items from the Warren's museum, Buell has been providing updates on the doll's progress. Buell posted a video discussing Annabelle's appearance at West Virginia State Penitentiary, and he recalled his own haunting experience at the allegedly haunted site in 2009. 'This is the first time we're bringing haunted artifacts into West Virginia State Penitentiary, so that's gonna be interesting. Especially Annabelle, like the real Annabelle,' he said. Buell explained that the doll was 'slowly' being transported to San Antonio, Texas, for Psychic Festival. 'I think this is the furthest she's travelled in decades, if not ever, so we'll see how tonight goes.' He added that she would be 'secure' with members of NESPR and they would have a Catholic priest with them. Buell then shared videos of the doll in the penitentiary, which angered many. 'Lorraine said not to move her. THE WARRENS SAID NOT TO MOVE HER,' one wrote. Another said: 'Tony should be ashamed of himself cause I know he is apart of it. Ed & Lorraine said no matter what happens to them Annabelle does not leave the museum. Tony has gone against it numerous times for $.' 'Lorraine and Ed rolling over in their graves right now,' another wrote. Buell, however, claimed the couple traveled with Annabelle on tour to teach the public about the items and the occult. Annabelle next went to New Orleans before arriving in San Antonio Friday morning at the 'haunted' Black Swan Inn, according to Buell's posts. Annabelle has remained locked in a case with a sign made by Ed Warren that reads 'positively do not open.' Since the museum's closure, and the Warrens' warnings, Annabelle's case has in fact been opened. The doll is handled only by Daniel Rivera, the senior lead investigator for NESPR, who wears gloves with crosses on them and saint medals in the fingertips. Rivera also built a new box for the doll better suited for transportation. 'So the reason why I built the case was because the museum was closed and we wanted to keep educating the public about these items that Ed and Lorraine collected,' he told CT Insider. Rivera said he added extra protective measures including cutting out crosses on three sides, representing the Catholic Holy Trinity, using a stain infused with holy water and holy oil as well as inscribing the Lord's Prayer and Saint Michael's prayer behind the felt in the case, the outlet reported. The measures were taken to 'contain the evil of Annabelle in this case.' Buell told MySanAntonio that there is 'huge interest in the paranormal' in San Antonio and that it felt like the 'perfect spot to showcase Annabelle and warn people about the dangers of the occult and paranormal.' But not everyone is pleased to have the doll around, as one viewer commented: 'Y'all should have left her where she was, this is so not the Texas thing to do.' Another said: 'They should've left her right where she was at the Warren museum.'

Annabelle doll sparks panic as she goes on TOUR despite paranormal experts saying she should NEVER be moved

The doll got the attention of millions of TikTok users after paranormal investigator and former host of Paranormal State, Ryan Daniel Buell, posted videos of the doll's tour. The Devils on the Run Tour takes items, including Annabelle, from the Warrens Occult Museum collection in Monroe across the country. Yet, the infamous doll's movements have people online up in arms following the warnings from the Warren's to never move Annabelle. Warren's Occult Museum was curated by paranormal researchers Ed and Lorraine Warren, who investigated the doll in the 1970s following a haunting encounter. Annabelle, a Raggedy Anne doll that stands upright at roughly three feet tall, was a gift to a Hartford nurse in 1970 who brought it home. But she and her roommates began reporting unexplained behavior from the doll, according to the New England Society for Psychic Research. Annabelle reportedly moved on her own and at one point attacked the fiancé of one of its owners. That's when the Warrens stepped in to investigate.
