Annabelle Doll Returns, Owner Locks Up Haunted Toy After Escape Panic

Annabelle Doll, notorious for inspiring 'The Conjuring,' is back under lock and key at the Warren Occult Museum in Connecticut after owner Tony Spera quelled escape panic. The haunted dollâs brief tour coincided with a prison breakout and major fire, fueling wild theories.
Owner insists Annabelle was never loose, despite viral memes and conspiracy buzz linking the dollâs New Orleans visit to a May 15 plantation fire and May 16 inmate escape. Catholic priest Father Bob blessed Annabelle throughout her journeyâjust in case.
The Annabelle Dollâs case is treated with holy water, holy oil, and carved crosses before every move, and the museum remains closed to the public.
