If there’s anyone who knows Annabelle isn’t as innocent as she looks, it’s Lorraine Warren. A self-described “trance medium,” Warren first encountered the doll immortalized in The Conjuring and its new follow-up, Annabelle, in the 1970s.

That’s when Warren — whose paranormal-related casework with her late husband, Ed, inspired the horror franchise — met a pair of nursing students and their friend, who claimed they’d been terrorized by the child’s toy. The trio said the doll moved around their apartment (think: an evil Elf on the Shelf), leaving behind cryptic notes — and occasionally scratch marks.

As depicted in the opening scene of The Conjuring, the young people told the Warrens a psychic had warned that their doll was possessed by the spirit of a deceased 7-year-old girl named Annabelle Higgins. The Warrens concluded something different: Namely, that the doll was possessed by a demonic spirit (http://www.warrens.net/Annabelle.html).

``Spirits can be senses...but can only be rested by giving them a tribute. If a spirit has possessed the doll ...... then the best interest would be to find out why its possessed .. who owned the doll...or what kind of contact the doll has come with. Then return it to its their resting place of the original owner``

Just in time for Halloween...lol.

I was a weird kid (in more ways than one). Whenever family members asked what I wanted for Christmas....it was never a "doll". I think my favorite gift one year (I think I was five or six) was a little cowgirl skirt/outfit and a gun & holster....hehe. When I got older, my fav 'toy' was these brick-like building blocks that you could construct houses with. (odd kid) If it was a fad ....I couldn't have cared less about it. And I am still that way to this day.
