Comedian Matt Rife's Haunted Purchase: The Dangers of Owning Annabelle
The Annabelle Doll: A Haunted Legacy of Death and Destruction
In a shocking move, comedian Matt Rife has acquired the infamous Annabelle doll, which is believed to be one of the most haunted objects in the world. The doll's dark history dates back to the 1970s when it was given as a gift to a nurse in Hartford, Connecticut, but soon began exhibiting disturbing behavior.
Rife's decision to purchase the Occult Museum and Annabelle doll has raised eyebrows among paranormal experts, who warn that the doll is a vessel for dark, earthbound energy. In fact, veteran ghost hunter Dan Rivera died under mysterious circumstances while touring with Annabelle just last month. Although authorities claimed it was due to "natural causes," many believe that the doll's presence may have been a contributing factor.
Matt Fraser, a renowned psychic medium and star of the reality show "Meet The Frasers," has spoken out about his concerns regarding Rife's plans to display the doll. In an exclusive interview with thescholarlynote.com, Fraser warned that the doll's dark energy can be unleashed by the public's fascination with it.
"The Annabelle doll is not just a creepy object; it's a vessel for evil spirits that need to be contained," Fraser explained. "When people interact with it, they're unintentionally breathing life into something that should never be awakened. The energy builds with every mention, every photo, and every attempt to provoke a reaction."
Fraser believes that Rife's plans to reopen the house for overnight stays and museum tours will only exacerbate the problem. "Spirits that have not crossed over feed off attention, and the more fascination there is, the more active and aggressive the energy becomes," he warned.
The Warrens, who were experts in the paranormal field and owned the Occult Museum where Annabelle was housed, understood the danger that lived within the doll. They believed that dolls like Annabelle are "spiritually active" and tied to dark, earthbound souls that never crossed over.
According to biographer Gerald Brittle's book "The Demonologist: The Extraordinary Career of Ed and Lorraine Warren," the Warrens first encountered Annabelle in 1970 after a priest called for their assistance. They were told that two young nurses believed a human spirit was possessing their doll, which had started exhibiting strange behavior, including moving around on its own and leaving handwritten notes.
The women claimed that the doll had attacked someone, and they suspected it was possessed by a little girl named Annabelle who died on their property years prior. The Warrens performed an exorcism before taking the doll away, but not before their car brakes failed on the drive home, and they had to throw holy water on the doll to get home safely.
The legend of Annabelle has only grown since the release of the 2013 horror film "The Conjuring" and its sequel in 2014. However, paranormal fans recently went into a frenzy when visitors claimed that the doll was missing from her case - only to be debunked and later revealed that she was still safely contained.
Even renowned paranormal investigator Zak Bagans, star of Ghost Adventures, has had a terrifying encounter with Annabelle, claiming he was left "very affected" after crossing paths with the doll in 2017. "It was a demonic infestation and severely affected me, and I was literally in the hospital the next day," he revealed.
As Rife prepares to reopen the house and museum for public viewing, many are left wondering if he is aware of the risks involved. Will the public's fascination with Annabelle unleash its dark energy, leading to more tragedies? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain - the legend of Annabelle continues to haunt us all.
