4. The Warrens began their research in 1952 and decided
to open the museum in the early 80’s, after their
collection of haunted objects began to accumulate. It
lies in the basement of the Warren home in Monroe,
Connecticut, and contains haunted artifacts and
images taken from their cases .
5. Among their collection is the famous Raggedy-Ann doll,
Annabelle, which was featured in THE CONJURING
and ANNABELLE. The doll looks nothing like the one
shown in the films, but it is just as deadly. Annabelle sits
behind an enclosed case, illuminated in red light. Above
that is a crucifix to shy away the evil, and a sign below it
that reads “Warning: Positively Do Not Open.” The
Warrens are convinced the doll is behind the death of a
museum visitor who provoked Annabelle to inflict him
harm. Moments after leaving the museum, the man got
into a fatal motorcycle accident
7. While Annabelle is certainly the most famous entity in
the museum, there are other objects that are just as
terrifying. Another doll featured in the museum is the
Shadow Doll. The Shadow Doll reportedly visits people
in their sleep like Freddy Krueger, and it has the ability
to stop one’s heart.
