Haunted Annabelle doll continues tour across US amid viral attention

The infamous Annabelle doll known from The Conjuring films has been traveling across the United States as part of the Devils on the Run tour, organized by the New England Society for Psychic Research (NESPR).

The tour began in early May and has quickly gained attention through paranormal expos, TikTok virality, and sold-out events.

So far, the doll has appeared at the West Virginia State Penitentiary in Moundsville during a ghost hunting event held in a notoriously haunted prison. This stop attracted massive online interest.

The doll then made an appearance in New Orleans, where rumors circulated about it going missing, though NESPR officially denied those claims.

Following that, the tour brought Annabelle to San Antonio, Texas, where it was exhibited at the Black Swan Inn during a Psychic & Spirit Fest. Religious protections were reportedly in place, and the event drew large crowds.

In July, the doll visited Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, for three days with events held at the historic orphanage. A TikTok video from this stop received over 3.4 million views.

Despite the widespread speculation and viral rumors surrounding the doll, officials have confirmed that Annabelle remains secure.

The tour is scheduled to continue with upcoming stops in Rock Island, Illinois, and Augusta, Maine through September.

NESPR is honoring the legacy of paranormal investigator Dan Rivera, who passed away unexpectedly during the Gettysburg stop, by proceeding with the remaining events as planned.
