The doll remains at the Warren residence, in their now-closed ‘Occult Museum.’ Since being contained, Annabelle has been linked to one death – when a rowdy biker goaded and mocked the doll, only to die in a bike crash hours later. There’s been a lot of debates and skepticisms about Annabelle’s powers. The Warren’s car’s brakes failed – and we see glimpses of it in ‘ Annabelle Comes Home‘ – until they soaked the doll in holy water. The journey back home to Connecticut wasn’t without perils either.

The demonologists realized that an inhuman power was actually terrorizing the two, and decided to take Annabelle away with them – to keep her from hurting anyone else. This was when Ed and Lorraine Warren came into the scene. Of course, they agreed to let Annabelle stay with them until it turned out the doll harbored malevolent intentions. They got in touch with a medium, who told them how the spirit of Annabelle Higgins was inside the doll, and how she’d died in a car accident, not too far from where Donna lived. Soon, Donna and her roommate realized the doll was behaving abnormally. She gave it to her daughter, Donna, a nurse.

The first known account of Annabelle in real life is when it was purchased at a hobby story by a mother in 1970. After all, the real-life Annabelle is a vintage Raggedy Ann doll, that is manufactured by Knickerbocker Toy Co. We must state at the offset that the story about the dollmaker making the Annabelle doll is untrue. Since the real Annabelle doll’s history could not be traced, the films have taken some creative liberties from the information available. The dollmaker secures the doll in a closet wallpapered with the Bible’s pages. Initially, they are glad to grant this request. However, they soon realize the spirit isn’t Bee and has nefarious intentions. Bee’s spirit, or what seems to be Bee’s spirit, gets in touch with them and asks for permission to move into the doll so that she can be with them forever. The couple misses their daughter so much that they pray for her to return. In the process, she tragically steps in front of the oncoming car and dies. The dollmaker struggles with the tire, while the wife tries to flag down an oncoming car. Their car’s tire needs changing, while they’re on the road. Here, we see a dollmaker and wife have a girl named Bee (Annabelle). It was actually ‘Annabelle: Creation’ that got closer to the truth, and has rightly been dubbed as the prequel in the franchise. However, this does not tie in with Annabelle’s story, as we know in real life. Her blood drips into the doll’s eye, and Higgins’ spirit enters the doll, perhaps along with the demon their cult worshipped. In ‘Annabelle,’ we learn that Annabelle Higgins, a member of a Satanic cult, holds the doll while she’s dying. In the film, Annabelle’s creation is credited to two different sources.
