Annabelle Doll Escaped From Warren Museum Hoax Debunked

Some Twitter users feared Annabelle, the real doll featured in horror movies about paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, had escaped the Warren’s Occult Museum in Connecticut. Her name became a top-trending topic on Friday, garnering nearly 250,000 mentions, as frightened netizens tweeted about the doll potentially coming to life.

Of course, according to one YouTube user, it’s just another internet hoax and Annabelle has not escaped nor is she causing any type of trouble.

Heavy has reached out to Tony Spera, the Warrens’ son-in-law and leader of the New England Society for Psychic Research, for confirmation but did not hear back immediately.

Here’s what you need to know:

How Did the Hoax Begin?

The rumor started after news stories about British actress Annabelle Wallis emerged. Wallis, best known for playing Grace on Peaky Blinders, gave an interview where she talked about how she was able to get The Mummy co-star Tom Cruise to run with her on camera. According to YouTube user Hi Tech, the story got changed to “Annabelle escaped” when translated into Chinese, sparking the hoax.

When asked by The Hollywood Reporter if questions about working with Cruise have started to slow down three years after the movie came out, she said they probably never will.

“He’s his own thing. He’s such a movie star, and he does his own bloody stunts!” she told THR. “He means business, and he loves this business. He’s a cinephile. I think people are in awe of that kind of passion and love for cinema and a desire to excel, to keep growing and keep pushing boundaries.”

Wallis was proud she got Cruise to let her run alongside him. “I got to run on-screen with him, but he told me no at first. He said, ‘Nobody runs on-screen [with me],’ and I said, ‘But I’m a really good runner.’ So, I would time my treadmill so that he’d walk in and see me run. And then he added all these running scenes.”

Wallis said the opportunity was like getting an Oscar and she doesn’t mind talking about Cruise. “I was so happy!” she said with a laugh. “But I don’t think it ever goes away and I hope it never does. It’s so wonderful to be excited by someone and in awe of what they’ve achieved in their lives. Yeah, good on him. And I hope the questions never stop. I love talking about him. It’s really cool.”

Wallis Was in the Original ‘Annabelle’ Movie

Some horror fans might also remember that Wallis played Mia in the original Annabelle movie. During the same interview with THR, Wallis talked about working with Annabelle director James Wan, saying they have a “very special” relationship. “I’m very grateful to him. He’s a wonderful man,” she said.

Working on Annabelle was the first time Wallis came to the U.S. and she said Wan was instrumental in helping her get the part of Mia.

“He’s so good. He’s so hands-on, holding cameras and moving equipment,” she told THR. “He was even fixing my makeup. He was literally my hair girl. He fixed all my hair.”

Those who were scared of the rumor about the Annabelle doll escaping the Warren’s Occult Museum probably know that the horror films — the 2014 Annabelle, 2017 Annabelle: Creation and 2019 Annabelle Comes Home — were based on a real Raggedy Ann doll that ghost hunter Lorraine Warren said was “evil.”

“Looks are deceiving. It’s not what the doll looks like that makes it scary; it is what has been infused within the doll: evil,” she told USA Today in 2017.

Annabelle’s “reign of terror” started in 1970 after she was bought by a woman who wanted to give her to her daughter, Donna, a nursing student. Soon after she purchased it, reports claimed the doll was levitating and attacking people.

That’s when Lorraine and Ed Warren were called, and they determined the Annabelle doll was an “inhuman demonic spirit.” They confiscated the doll and took it to their museum, the Warren’s Occult Museum, to keep it safe.

The doll remains at Warren’s Occult Museum in Connecticut today, though Atlas Obscura indicated the museum closed in 2018 to look for a new location and its future was uncertain after Lorraine Warren’s death in 2019. The New Haven Register reported in an October 2019 story that the Warren’s son-in-law, Tony Spera, was then museum director. He also leads the New England Society for Psychic Research.

In a video from 2017, workers doused themselves with holy water after moving Annabelle, who is kept in a glass case.

“We have a priest come in and bless the museum, including Annabelle,” Lorraine Warren told USA Today. “These are prayers that bind the evil — much like an electric fence for a dog.”

Ed Warren Died in 2006 & Lorraine Warren Died in April 2019 at 92 Years Old

Lorraine Warren’s death was announced on the New England Society for Psychic Research – NESPR Facebook page:
