Matt Rife buys haunted museum
Comedian Matt Rife has been warned of 'impending danger' after he became the new owner of the world's most haunted doll and told his social media followers that he intends to display the infamous item. Super popular Comedian, Rife, stunned his fans when he revealed the news that he had bought the house which had belonged to paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren in Monroe, Connecticut, which he intends to open up to paying guests, inviting them to dare to stay the night at the infamous home. The house is also home to the Occult Museum and the famed 'demonic doll' known as 'Annabelle'. Matt Rife.

When the Warrens took ownership of Annabelle, they locked her in a specially built glass case in their museum to contain the 'evil spirited entity', and warned that she should never be moved. However, Annabelle recently toured the US as part of the exhibition called 'Devils on the Run' – and Rife now plans to reopen the house for overnight stays and museum tours.

Fraser says that 'because of all the hype surrounding the Annabelle doll, from naming her and now putting her on display, people are unintentionally breathing life into something that should never have been awakened'. He added 'the energy builds with every mention, every photo, and every attempt to provoke a reaction. This is not just an old doll, it is a vessel tied to dark, earthbound energy.'

Entertainment/NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images) TV Star Fraser said Comedian Matt Rife's plans to invite lots of guests into the house and museum after its 2019 closure will endanger himself and other visitors. Fraser warned, 'Spirits that have not crossed over feed off attention, and the more fascination there is, the more active and aggressive the energy becomes. It wasn't until the release of the 2013 horror film The Conjuring and the 2014 sequel named after and based on Annabelle that the legend became popular in mainstream media – proven by the subsequent release of two more movies. As they say, watch this space, and Matt Rife may need to watch his back.

Matt Rife's Annabelle doll purchase prompts ominous warning from psychic: ‘Should never be awakened'
Comedian Matt Rife may have landed himself in supernatural trouble after acquiring what is believed to be the world's most haunted doll, Annabelle. His plans to exhibit the doll to the public have raised alarm, especially within the paranormal community. The news came after the death of Dan Rivera, who passed away while on the US tour with the doll. However, no foul play was detected in his death, and he died of 'natural causes'. Comedian Matt Rife faces warnings from psychic medium Matt Fraser after acquiring the haunted doll Annabelle. (mattrife/Instagram) Psychic medium Matt Fraser has now issued a chilling warning as he told the Daily Mail that Rife's move could unleash 'dark, aggressive energy.' Also Read: Elton Castee net worth: What to know as YouTuber buys Annabelle doll's haunted home Matt Fraser's warning to comedian Rife about Annabelle Fraser told the Daily Mail, 'Because of all the hype surrounding the Annabelle doll, from naming her to interacting with her and now putting her on display, people are unintentionally breathing life into something that should never be awakened.' The TV personality known for Meet The Frasers explained, 'The energy builds with every mention, every photo, and every attempt to provoke a reaction. This is not just an old doll, it is a vessel tied to dark, earthbound energy.' He continued, 'Dolls do not just become possessed on their own. A spirit must be invited in, often through dark rituals or intentional acts of black magic." He warned that Rife's plans to welcome the public to Ed and Lorraine's home and their well-known museum, filled with what are claimed to be haunted artefacts, and which was closed in 2019, can endanger him and others. Fraser shared, 'That is how the soul became attached in the first place,' Fraser warned. 'Spirits that have not crossed over feed off attention, and the more fascination there is, the more active and aggressive the energy becomes.' He continued, 'It is like dealing with a bully. You can yell, push back and try to assert control, but in the end you are left drained while the bully feels stronger. That is exactly how dark energy works. It pulls from your strength, your peace of mind, and your spiritual protection.' Fraser added, 'The more it is acknowledged, the more power it gains. This is exactly why Ed and Lorraine Warren never wanted the Annabelle doll to be glorified or used for entertainment.' He also believed that the late couple truly 'understood the danger' that possessed Annabelle. Fraser said that 'People think they are just observing something creepy, but what they are really doing is inviting chaos.' He described the possessed items as 'spiritually active' and said that these are 'tied to dark, earthbound souls that never crossed over.'

The infamous haunted doll's disturbing behaviour dates back to the 1970s. However, when Ed and Lorraine took ownership of the doll, they locked it in a glass case, which was placed in their museum. The special glass case was to ensure that the "evil evil-spirited entity" was contained and warned that she should never be moved.

Not Conjuring, But THIS Film Is Considered World's Most Cursed — The Crew Was Haunted By Lightning Strikes, Plane Crashes, Bombings & Real Decapitation; The Movie Is...
photoDetails english 2942389 It's not just the horror on-screen that left people shaken — it's the terrifying events that unfolded off-screen during the making of this 1976 horror film. Nearly five decades later, the tragic incidents surrounding this movie still send chills down the spine. Updated:Aug 06, 2025, 11:26 PM IST World's Most Cursed Movie 1 / 9 This is not about The Conjuring or Annabelle — the movie revolves around story of Damien, a child believed to be the incarnation of the devil. But what happened behind the scenes during its filming has earned it the title of Hollywood's most cursed movie ever. The Omen (1976) 2 / 9 Directed by Richard Donner (who later became famous for Superman), The Omen starred Gregory Peck and Lee Remick. It was meant to scare audiences — but no one expected the cast and crew to face real-life horror during its production. It All Began with a Tragedy 3 / 9 The first 'omen' occurred before shooting even began. In 1975, just weeks before filming, Gregory Peck's son died by suicide , a devastating loss that cast a dark shadow over the film from the start. Animal Attacks and Fatalities 4 / 9 In one chilling scene, Lee Remick's character is attacked by a group of baboons. Her terrified screams? 100% real. Director Richard Donner later revealed that the fear on her face wasn't acting- it was raw panic. The very next day, a zookeeper assisting with the animal scenes was mauled to death by a tiger. Lightning Strikes — Literally 5 / 9 Multiple flights associated with the film were struck by lightning: Gregory Peck's plane to London was hit, and one engine caught fire. A few weeks later, producer Mace Neufeld's plane was also struck. Screenwriter David Seltzer's plane didn't escape the lightning either. Even producer Harvey Bernard narrowly escaped a strike while filming in Rome. Bombings and Explosions 6 / 9 While filming in the UK, Mace Neufeld and his wife narrowly avoided a terrorist bombing by the Irish Republican Army. The hotel they were staying in was bombed but they survived because they weren't inside at the time. A Plane Crash That Was Meant for Them 7 / 9 In a spine-chilling twist, the crew had chartered a flight, but Chinese businessmen outbid them at the last moment. The plane they were supposed to be on crashed shortly after takeoff, killing everyone onboard. It collided with a flock of birds, crashed through a fence, and slammed into a car, killing even more people. Real-Life Decapitation Mirrors Movie Scene 8 / 9 Perhaps the most disturbing event was the death of special effects artist John Richardson's partner, Liz Moore, in a tragic car accident. One of the wheels from the crash decapitated her ,eerily similar to the infamous death scene Richardson had worked on for The Omen. As if that weren't chilling enough, Richardson later reported seeing a road sign at the crash site pointing to a town named Ommen, just 66.6 kilometers away. Other Haunting Incidents 9 / 9 Actor David Warner was struck by a car during filming. A stuntman was bitten by aggressive Rottweilers, who tore through his protective suit. The film set was constantly plagued with injuries, delays, and strange coincidences. (All Imaged: IMDB)
