In this episode of Everyday Eerie, host Kerry Simmons delves into the chilling true story of the infamous Annabelle doll, which inspired The Conjuring. Kerry recounts the tale of two nurses, Donna and Angie, who brought an ordinary Raggedy Ann doll into their home, only to witness it move on its own and receive sinister messages. Their friend Lou, who had a deep aversion to the doll, suffered terrifying experiences, including sleep paralysis and physical attacks. After a séance, the girls learned from a medium that the spirit of a little girl named Annabelle inhabited the doll. However, they would soon learn that it was no ordinary spirit inhabiting the doll. It was, in fact, a demonic entity manipulating the doll to gain attention and attempt possession.

Kerry explores the Warrens' intervention, the exorcism, and the eerie events that continued even after the doll was removed to the Warrens' occult museum, where it remains locked in a special case to this day. Listeners are invited to check out photos of the real Annabelle doll and share their own spooky stories.

Tune in for a spine-chilling look at one of the most notorious haunted objects in history.
