Internet Loses Its Mind After Rumors Claim the Haunted Annabelle Doll Went Missing

The famously creepy Annabelle doll — yes, that Annabelle, the one demonologists say you should never move — caused social media chaos this week after rumors started flying that she’d mysteriously vanished during a paranormal pit stop somewhere in the U.S.

According to the internet’s finest conspiracy theorists, Annabelle wasn’t just on tour — she was allegedly linked to a string of fires in New Orleans, with her latest vanishing act coinciding with a blaze at the historic Nottoway Resort in Louisiana. Officials were quick to shut that down (no injuries, no ghosts), but by then, the speculation had already gone full “Paranormal Activity” in the group chat.

Normally kept behind glass at the Warrens’ Occult Museum in Connecticut — because of course she is — Annabelle had been making the rounds on a national tour. But when fans noticed she wasn’t visible at a recent stop, panic took over.

“What do you mean, Annabelle, the doll has gone missing??? WHO THE F*** LOST HER????” one viral X post screamed into the void.

“So the streets are saying after they moved the Annabelle doll out of the Warren museum (when they explicitly said never to move it) she’s now gone missing,” added another, presumably while clutching a sage stick and frantically Googling “how to reverse a curse.”

Thankfully, the hysteria was short-lived. Dan Rivera from NESPR (that’s the New England Society for Psychic Research, for those new to spooky lore) jumped on the drama with a very chill video update from inside the museum. Spoiler alert: she’s fine.

“Some wild and crazy internet rumours this morning claiming that we lost Annabelle. She/it is NOT lost,” read the caption, casually shutting down the supernatural spiral with one glass-encased shot.

So breathe easy — for now, at least — because Annabelle is exactly where she should be: behind a thick pane of glass and nowhere near your house.

The infamous doll inspired the popular Annabelle movie series, which includes Annabelle (2014), Annabelle: Creation (2017), and Annabelle Comes Home (2019).
