Rumors of the infamous Annabelle doll going missing recently sent social media into a frenzy. A wave of panic had been flushed about, starting from social media posts about the doll gone missing. Many believed the haunted artefact had escaped from its glass case in the Warren Occult Museum, fueling speculation and fear online. A fire eruption in Louisiana, New Orleans, and Annabelle’s last appearance in Louisiana curtsy of its paranormal US tour, hosted by The Warrens Occult Museum were connected, sending netizens into a flurry of online havoc. 

The alarming claims, however, were quickly debunked, confirming that Annabelle remained securely in place. Dan Rivera of the New England Society for Psychic Research quickly debunked the claims. He posted a video proving Annabelle was securely inside the Warrens Occult Museum in Connecticut, quelling fears and confirming the doll was never missing. Despite the clarification, the fact remains that Annabelle was moved recently to the Fourth Annual Psychic & Spirit Fest at the haunted Black Swan Inn. This incident reignited public fascination with the eerie doll, reminding everyone just how deeply embedded she is in the world of paranormal pop culture and internet-fueled mystery. 

While the terrors in real life seem to have been sated for now, the unrest remains but in a more cinematic way.
