• ANNABELLE'S 'REAL' STORY

During the 2018 San Diego Comic-Con, Wan and Safran revealed the film's events would take place after Annabelle and would focus on the doll after she had been placed in a glass case in the Warrens' museum. Sometime later, the Warrens welcome Mary Ellen, who will be in charge of babysitting their daughter, Judy, at the house while they travel overnight to investigate another case. Mary Ellen's friend, Daniela, arrives uninvited to the Warrens' home, who is secretly curious about speaking to the dead. She sneaks into the artifacts room and starts examining every item, ultimately trying to contact her late father.

The Warrens said the spirit, who only pretended to be a young girl in order to con Donna and Angie, was ultimately looking to possess a human body. In order to stupor the spirits attempt, the Warrens had the apartment exorcised by a priest and took the doll with them home to Connecticut. Donna and Angie’s friend Lou was reportedly attacked by Annabelle on several occasions.

However, there are portions of Annabelle's story that have some basis in truth despite most of it being fictionalized, and the Annabelle true story itself is actually quite interesting. The Warren says the spirit has tormented several individuals who have came in counter with the doll. A priest who visited the Warren's home and insulted Annabelle, telling her “you can’t hurt anyone,” was reportedly involved in a near-fatal car crash after the visit.

She abruptly leaves Annabelle's glass case unlocked, and the terror begins shortly afterwards with the spirit of Annabelle "Bee" Mullins unleashed. That night, Annabelle begins releasing other spirits, such as the Ferryman, the Bride, a Feeley Meeley board game, and the Black Shuck. His disrespect was apparently noted by the doll, as Ed and Lorraine claimed that after the man left the strange attraction he was knocked off his bike and killed. Whether or not you actually believe in the supernatural the story of Annabelle is enough to make you keep on your nightlight and donate your childhood dolls to your local thrift store. According to the Warrens, Annabelle first began wreaking havoc on the mortal world in 1970 after she was given as a gift to a 28 year old nurse, Donna, by her mother. If you've been on the internet recently you've probably been surprised by one of the shocking "screamer" commercials for Annabelle Comes Home.

(image from imdb.com)But what exactly makes Annabelle, an innocent appearing Raggedy Ann doll, so frightening? The answer to this is not so much the doll, yet what has become demonically attached to it. If you've seen The Conjuring, you'll know that's not where the story ended.

In one instance, parchment paper with messages reading “Help me, help us” began appearing on the floor, although the girls didn't own any parchment paper. However, whenever the family was near the doll, they became haunted. Her origin was later explored in the prequel, in which, character John Form gave the doll to his pregnant wife Mia as a gift.

Is Annabelle Comes Home based on a true story?

Whenever a horror movie is accompanied by the infamous “based on a true story” subtitle, you know you’ll be in for an especially scary time and Annabelle Comes Home is no exception. The girls contacted the Warrens, who concluded that the spirit haunting the doll was not a seven-year-old child. The Warrens believed that the demon's goal was to acquire Donna's soul. The Warrens solved their problem by taking the doll with them, but they encountered continuous car trouble on the way back to their home. The demon within the doll rejected an exorcism, and in the end, it was put in a glass case in the Warrens' Occult Museum in Connecticut. Of course, since the franchise manages to stretch the doll's story into three movies, liberties are taken with what happened.

After expressing his distaste for the “evil” doll, he awoke one night to find her “slowly gilding up his leg” before moving onto his chest and “strangling” him. Lou, who at first believed the ordeal was a bad dream, claims to have blacked out from the strangulation. The next day, Lou entered his friend’s apartment only to hear strange noises coming from Donna’s room. While searching the home for a possible break in, he felt a presence behind him and was soon after cut and left with “7 distinct claw marks” on his chest. The scratches, despite causing him to double over in pain, healed almost immediately.

Donna was training to be a nurse at the time and lived with her roommate Angie. As soon as she got Annabelle, Donna and Angie began to notice that Annabelle would change positions when they left the house, move rooms and even leave them written messages. After finding blood on the doll one day, Donna contacted a medium and, during a seance, they spoke with the spirit of Annabelle Higgins. After the assault, the tormented nurses turned to an episcopal priest in Connecticut for help.

Annabelle Comes Home is finally out and terrifying viewers but the real story that inspired it will give you nightmares. Annabelle Comes Home is based on real-life events like the rest of The Conjuring series. The mirror was given its name because someone supposedly attempted to conjure spirits on its reflection. With this particular object, a man in New Jersey is said to have sat in front of the wall-mounted mirror for hours on end, continuously asking to summon his deceased family members. ” he would ask the mirror as he sat in darkness with nothing but a red light bulb behind him. After a fortnight passed, “ugly monstrosities’ faces appeared on the mirror.” The hellish faces were so diabolical that they drove the man to a mental institution.

Was Annabelle Based On A True Story?

The women’s hearts were softened after hearing this story, so they permitted her to live in the doll permanently. Not only that but after getting home from work, Donna and Angie began finding notes with the words ‘Help Me’ left all around the apartment. What’s even creepier is the ladies stated that the note was written on parchment. You’ll have to read on to see if your fears will be faded or probably increased. If you have a doll, please double-check that it was on the left in the same spot the night before. "For starters, you’d be hard-pressed to find a manufacturer to allow their doll to serve as a conduit to evil in a movie," said Safran.

And although her face in real life may appear more benign than the movies depict, the account is even scarier than the movies tell. Once you’ve seen the doll’s striking features in horror films likeThe ConjuringandAnnabelle, it’s hard to erase from memory. Judy explains that they must lock Annabelle in her case again so that the other spirits will rest.

They concluded the doll was an "inhumane demonic spirit" who was trying to possess a human host, and have recounted the story on their website. But while you may think that the doll is based on a fictional tale, the story of Annabelle actually has a terrifying true story behind it. Annabelle Comes Home was theatrically released in the United States on June 26, 2019, by Warner Bros. It was originally scheduled for release on July 3, 2019, but was later moved up to June 28, and then to June 26.

In response, they created a special glass box to keep Annabelle locked in so that she could no longer harm people, which you can see in Annabelle Comes Home. However, even then a guest reportedly died in a motorcycle accident, directly after banging Annabelle's box. After the exorcism was carried out, Bill Ramsey said he was free from the evil that was in him. He returned to his former self and went on to live out a normal life. Spera says that the Warrens believed that Ramsey was possessed by the spirit that causes lycanthropy .

This is the Terrifying True Story Behind ‘Annabelle Comes Home’

When two young women told the Warrens about Annabelle being haunted, the story of Annabelle being haunted circulated. The story begins with a mother purchasing it as a birthday present for her 28-year-old daughter, Donna, from a hobby shop. For the weak hearts, no, and for the fearless hearts, yes, haha just kidding. Tragically, “It is based on a true story.” The real Annabelle doll, nicknamed ‘Ann,’ has been the subject of numerous complex stories. The best thing about horror movies is that you only watch them once and then overlook them because they aren’t based on true stories. Nicholas Raymond is a staff movies & TV features writer for Screen Rant.

The doll is now in a secure glass cabinet emblazoned with a sinister warning sign. According to Lou, the doll climbed up his leg before strangling him. The medium informed Donna and Angie of Annabelle Higgins, who previously lived on the property before she was found dead at the age of seven. It was only slight, they remember, but it was enough to evoke a slight sense of uneasiness. Principal photography commenced by mid-October in Los Angeles, with Michael Burgess serving as cinematographer. On December 7, Wilson announced that he had finished filming his scenes.
