History

In 1970, a woman named Donna was turning 28. And for her birthday, her mom gave her a seemingly harmless Raggedy Ann doll that she purchased from a secondhand store. Both Donna and her roommate Angie were nurses, and so they were out of the house most of the time, leaving the doll in the apartment alone.

They didn't think much of their new roommate until strange things started happening. One night, after a long shift, Donna came home to find the doll sitting on her bed in her closed bedroom. Which would've been perfectly fine, if that's where Donna had left her.

Other nights, Donna would find the doll sitting on the couch with her legs crossed and folded or standing upright in the kitchen. Both Donna and Angie were rational young women and believed there had to be a reasonable explanation for this. Maybe they were just remembering things wrong, but Lou, Angie's fiance, thought otherwise.

He did not trust that doll one bit, and wanted them to get rid of it, or at least consult a medium to see if there truly was something inside it.But Donna and Angie didn't believe that was possible. So, they carried on as usual. Then, they began finding handwritten notes around the house. They were written in pencil and childlike handwriting on pieces or parchment,a type of paper that no one in the house owned. They read, "Help us."

One night, Donna came home and found a mysterious red liquid on the dolls hands and chest. It looked like blood, but it was coming from the doll itself. That was the push that Donna and Angie needed to come to terms with the fact that there was something wrong with this doll. They brought in a medium and performed a saence. The medium said, "Along time ago, before this apartment complex was built, there was a field on this property and it was here that the body of seven year old Annabelle Higgins was found and is in this doll that her spirit now lives. She trusts you, and just wants to be around you."

Donna and Angie felt sorry for Annabelle and decided to let her stay in the apartment with them. Lou was not happy about that desicion. One time, Lou was packing and walked past Donna's room, he heard russling. When he opened the door, there wasn't anything. There was Annabelle. She was sitting in the corner looking at him. Lou felt like someone was watching him. But when he turned around, there was no one. When he turned back around his chest was burning. He lifted his shirt to reveal seven scratches, blood coming out from each scar.

They contacted a paster then he contacted the Warrens. The Warrens said that the medium was wrong. Annabelle wanted to hurt them. The Warrens took the doll away to they're museum that's right next to their house. There, the doll is docted away in a case with a cross over it. Whatever you do, don't touch the case.
