Headline?
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Para normal investigator dies on tour with Annabel said to
be most Haunted doll sub headline, Dan Rivera was on
nationwide tour with the scary Raggedy Ann doll that is
said to be make I'm sorry that it's said to
make bad things happen to people who anger her. All right,
(01:22):
So I saw this story. I saw this headline, and
it's interesting. I didn't think of Chucky. Chucky to me
is kind of a he looks like a what are
those called garbage pale dolls or cabbage patch dolls or whatever.
He looks like like he was supposed to be cute
and they made him ugly and.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
He got he got, you know, in some fights and stuff.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Right.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
He looks like in Dennis the Menace, redheaded Toddler though,
you know, like something like that. This Annabelle doll is
a creepy, scary looking doll. All right, Yeah, I sent
it to you guys at Raggedy Ann. You guys know
Raggedy Ann and Andy. Yes, okay, it's Raggedy Ann and
Andy were very famous dolls. In fact, I'm pretty sure
me and my sister had him when we were real
(02:05):
little kids.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Yeah, so that's creepy.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Ay, Like if you go back and you look at hey,
look at this picture from the eighteen hundreds with the
Easter Bunny or whatever. You're like, oh god, that's terrifying.
And this kind of has that sort of a vibe.
It's a terrifying toy. Well, if you anger her, bad
things happened to you. Now, Dan Rivera is a world's
leading paranormal investigator, and so the history of this doll
(02:32):
goes back many, many years, and Dan Rivera got this
doll from this family called the Warren family, and they
had an occult museum, which immediately I'm like, okay, I'm
kind of interested in that. Christina, you might be interested
in that because your hero Jimmy Page was so into
the occult.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Okay, but I am not. Okay.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Jimmy Page very famously bought and lived in the Castle
of Alistair Crowley, and so hey man, it's that whole thing.
If you're gonna to dabble in black magic or dabble
in you know, kind of flirting around with the occult,
you're bringing negative energy into your world. Yes, I believe
in that very much like there's certain movies I stumble across.
I'm like, I don't want that mojo in my life.
(03:13):
I'm not bringing that into my house tonight. I'm not
watching that movie. So they were in the Gettysburg, Pennsylvania
area on the Devils on the Run tour when medics
were called to aid Rivera. His cause of death is pending.
Speculation is already whirling online about his death because he
was fifty four. Annabel draws huge crowds wherever she goes
(03:34):
because of the mystery and fear surrounding stories about her.
She has displayed in a locked glass case with crucifixes attached.
The case is covered with holy water infused lacquer. So
like if you've ever seen any of these movies, like
you know, the Exorcist or whatever.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
They like, Oh my God, throw holy water on it.
That'll save it.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
So they have her in a case that has the
lacquer is infused with holy water. The family that was
in possession that has that occult museum said she is
inhabited by an inhuman spirit. Okay, And at one point
the doll got so rambunctious during the ride to the
(04:17):
Warren's home, an investor from an investigator site they had
to sprinkle holy water on the doll because the doll
was getting rambunctious. Inside the box. According to the Warren family,
how did they get the holy water in the box?
If she was in a box? And then I need
to know when the holy water hit the doll?
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Did it go?
Speaker 1 (04:40):
It had to have, right, yeah, or that's what it
does to Dracula, or it's not haunted.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
I like, I like this throwaway.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
A man who once ignored the warnings and taunted the
doll at the museum died in a motorcycle motorcycle crash
on the way home. He taunted a doll and then
his motorcycle crashed on the way home.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
This was one of the top stories on nb AS.
I always checked their website. Yeah, where are you getting
your information? I didn't think NBC five really needed to
be covering this.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
This is the Dallas Morning News, which was recently purchased
by Heirst Media.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Is everyone okay? Because here's the thing.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
When you start believing everything these paranormal people start saying,
then you get into crazy land because that the only
people who see the things that they see.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
The Warrens took control of Annabel during an investigation in
the seventies with a Hertford nurse. Later, the nurse claimed
the doll attacked her friend. She held a seance and
was told the doll held the ghost of a girl
named Annabel.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
The nurse called a priest.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
The priest called the Warrens cause quote, there was something
evil in that doll.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
You guys go hang out with that doll then, and then.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
You know, I'm with you. I think they they're not
taking it seriously. I don't want to be around that doll.
If that doll was in this room, uh uh, I
would have fear.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
I would be worried, and I wouldn't even talk to
you guys for a while.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
I'm warning you guys about the doll. Y'all were y'all
wouldn't even bring it to the air. I'm just going, hey, guys,
look out for the doll.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
I know I clicked over this thing multiple times over
the last twenty four hours, and it's like, now, I'm
not gonna do it. But I made a decision long
ago not to associate myself with the paranormal.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Really, what if you would you when you were single,
would you have sexual relations with a hot ghost? No? Really,
you turn it down. What if it was a smoking,
hot ghost and it's not as.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Good as having with myself?
Speaker 1 (06:23):
The highlights of the museum include Ouiji boards, voodoo dolls,
objects and satanic rituals, a coffin that a seventeen year
old boy allegedly slept in before stalking women at night,
and artifacts from a plane that crashed into the Florida Everglades.
And of course, Annabelle the Haunted Doll. Damn, I'm glad
(06:45):
you had the courage to bring that to the air
because KT did not.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
All right.
Speaker 1 (06:48):

of the biggest stories in the world. A cheating couple
was exposed and that is exploding the Internet.
