\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 One of my all time favorite \u201cghost\u201d stories is about a Raggedy Ann doll named Annabelle.\u00a0 The story begins in 1970; a mother purchased the child size doll at a hobby store as a present for her daughter Donna who was a nursing school student at the time.\u00a0 She lived in a small apartment with her room-mate Angie \u00a0\u00a0Donna loved the doll and placed it on her bed but this didn\u2019t seem to be where Annabelle wanted to stay.\u00a0 <\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Over a short period of time the girls noticed Annabelle would be moved slightly. \u00a0Very small changes in positions at first but still noticeable, especially since neither one of them had touched her.\u00a0 Then the movements became more bizarre. \u00a0Donna and Angie would come home to find Annabelle in a completely different room than where they left her.\u00a0 No one else had been in the house but there the doll sat on the couch with her legs crossed or sometimes even standing upright, leaning on a chair.\u00a0 If they left Annabelle on the couch and stepped out, they would return to find her back on Donna\u2019s bed with the door closed.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Several weeks into the doll\u2019s stay, there seemed to be pieces of parchment paper found around the apartment.\u00a0 Neither Donna nor Angie had any parchment paper in the house and had no idea where it was coming from.\u00a0 To add to the mystery there was what seemed to be a child\u2019s writing scribbled on the paper reading \u201chelp us\u201d or \u201chelp Lou.\u201d\u00a0 Lou was a close friend to the girls and soon the message would be all too clear.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 After another one of Annabelle\u2019s \u201cmoving\u201d episodes, Donna noticed what appeared to be blood on the dolls hands and chest, now scared and not knowing where to turn they contacted a Medium and a s\u00e9ance was held.\u00a0 During the s\u00e9ance it was told that a spirit of a young girl named Annabelle Higgins was the one living in the doll.\u00a0 She said that she had died in a field where the apartment now stands and felt safe with Donna and Angie.\u00a0 Annabelle wanted to stay and Donna gave her permission to do just that, a choice they would later come to regret.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Now back to Lou.\u00a0 One night while taking a nap in the apartment he began to have what seemed a nightmare though he was sure he was awake, yet he couldn\u2019t move.\u00a0 Looking around the room he had a strange eerie feeling.\u00a0 Lou looked down to see Annabelle gliding up his leg.\u00a0 When she got to his chest she stopped.\u00a0 Soon Lou felt as if he couldn\u2019t breathe, as if he was being strangled, could the doll possibly be choking him?\u00a0 Soon he blacked out, waking up that morning; he insisted this was no nightmare.\u00a0 Annabelle continued to attack Lou, on one occasion leaving claw marks on his chest.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Once the doll seemed to have malicious intent, Donna contacted an Episcopal priest, the priest contacted a higher authority in the church and that higher authority contacted paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren.\u00a0 After listening to everyone\u2019s experiences the Warrens came to the conclusion that the doll was not haunted by the ghost of a little girl but manipulated by an inhuman and demonic entity.\u00a0 The demon tricked Donna and Angie into believing there was the spirit of a scared little girl in the doll so they would give it permission to stay in the home.\u00a0 The demon was using the doll to gain recognition and eventually try to find a human host.\u00a0 The Warrens made the decision to take the doll with them.\u00a0 <\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 With Annabelle in the backseat and the entity still attached and very angry it began to attack.\u00a0 The car would swerve with every turn, it would stall and the brakes would fail.\u00a0 The Warrens were able to avoid collision; after Ed stopped the car long enough to throw Holy Water on the doll, the car was back to normal.\u00a0 They arrived home and placed Annabelle in a chair near Ed\u2019s desk.\u00a0 The doll would levitate and within a few weeks began showing up in different rooms.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A special case was built for Annabelle in the Warrens Occult Museum in Monroe Connecticut.\u00a0 While in her case she doesn\u2019t seem to move any longer but she is still believed to be something one must respect.\u00a0 Several years ago while on a tour of the museum a young man began to taunt Annabelle.\u00a0 He was tapping on the glass and daring her to do something. \u00a0Ed asked the man to leave.\u00a0 While riding his motorcycle home, the young man collided into a tree and died.\u00a0 His girlfriend survived the accident and said the last thing she remembers was how they were laughing and joking about the doll.<\/span><\/div>\n
