Chapter 1: The Innocent Gift
During the summer of 1968, a nursing student named Donna was given an old Raggedy Ann doll as a birthday present from her mother. The doll was basic—sewing of fabric with button eyes, a red triangular nose, and a sewn smile. Donna adored it and left it on her bed in the apartment she shared with her roommate, Angie.
At first, the doll seemed harmless, but small, eerie things started happening. Donna would find the doll in different positions than she had left it. Sometimes, it would be sitting cross-legged, other times with its arms stretched outward. Angie dismissed it as Donna’s imagination, but soon, the movements became more disturbing.
One night, Donna came home from her hospital shift to discover the doll sitting upright, propped against the wall. "That's impossible," she grumbled. But that was just the start.

Chapter 2: The Messages
The disturbances increased. Donna and Angie started discovering scraps of parchment paper around the apartment. On them, in childish scrawl, were such messages as:
"Help Us"
"Help Lou"
"Save Me"
Lou was Donna's friend, who used to visit her frequently. But what scared them the most was that neither of them had parchment paper.
One evening, Donna discovered red liquid that looked like blood on the doll's hands and chest. She was frightened and called a medium. The medium said the doll was possessed by the spirit of Annabelle Higgins, a 7-year-old girl who had passed away on the ground where the apartment was built.
Sympathizing with the spirit, Donna and Angie let it remain—a choice they would come to regret.

Chapter 3: Lou's Nightmare
Lou never liked the doll. He sensed a foreboding aura about it and told Donna to dispose of it. One evening, he woke up in horror. He was immobile, and the doll crept onto his chest, choking him.
The following morning, Lou examined his body and discovered deep claw marks on his chest—three vertical and four horizontal. The wounds stung but disappeared within two days.
This was no harmless spirit. It was something evil.

Chapter 4: The Warrens Step In
Desperate, Donna turned to Ed and Lorraine Warren, the renowned paranormal investigators.
Lorraine, a clairvoyant, felt an immediate dark presence—not a child, but a demon that used the tale of Annabelle Higgins to get them to trust it.
Ed explained, "Spirits don't own objects, but demons can attach themselves to them and affect environments."
The Warrens determined that the entity's intent was to take over Donna.
A Catholic priest conducted an exorcism to rid the apartment of the evil, and the Warrens left with Annabelle.

Chapter 5: The Cursed Journey
On the drive home, the Warrens' vehicle suddenly lost its control. The brakes failed to work, and the steering wheel became stuck. The vehicle careened wildly, almost causing a deadly collision.
Ed promptly splashed holy water on the doll, and the vehicle mysteriously began working once again.
Back home, they put Annabelle in a glass container with a sign:
"Positively Do Not Open"
Even inside the case, Annabelle continued causing disturbances—growling, shifting positions, and sometimes being found outside the case without explanation.

Chapter 6: The Motorcycle Incident
A young man and his girlfriend once visited the Warren’s Occult Museum, where Annabelle was displayed.
Mocking the doll, the man banged on the glass and said, “If you’re real, scratch me.”
Ed sent them out in a hurry. As they drove off on their motorcycle, the man lost his grip and hit a tree, killing him immediately. His girlfriend lived but remained in the hospital for months.
Lorraine subsequently stated, "Annabelle doesn't kill, but she brings about evil."

Chapter 7: The Vatican Incident
In 2017, a senior Vatican exorcist made a visit to the Warren Occult Museum. When he walked up to Annabelle, he fell over suddenly, struggling for air.
Upon being revived, he whispered: "There is something ancient and powerful inside."

Chapter 8: The 2020 Escape Rumor
In August 2020, there were rumors that Annabelle broke free from the museum.
Although it was later proved to be a hoax, many people believe that her presence cannot be suppressed forever.

Chapter 9: The Secrets of Annabelle
1. A Ritual Gone Wrong?
Some think that Annabelle is connected to an ancient ritual in which a demon was bound to the doll.
2. A Link to Other Cursed Dolls
Annabelle is comparable to Robert the Doll, another cursed entity. Might they be connected?
3. The Actual Name of the Entity?
The Warrens never gave the demon's true name to the public for fear of unleashing its power.

Final Warning
Even now, Annabelle is still sealed in the Warren's museum. Many are convinced her curse is still effective.
If you ever notice a doll that is moving by itself, get out of there.
Because some objects. are not objects.
They are waiting.
