Unlike her on-screen depiction, the real Annabelle is a Raggedy Ann doll. In the 1970s, Ed and Lorraine Warren, renowned paranormal investigators, declared the doll demonically possessed after a student nurse reported strange occurrences.

A Facebook user sharing Rivera’s clip noted the doll was “NOT lost” and still at the museum.
