History of Tours and Investigations
The original Annabelle doll, which became famous through the Conjuring series, is on the “Devils on the Run” tour. The Warrens’ Occult Museum in Connecticut is where the doll is kept. It is in a special wooden box with crosses on it and holy water on it.

Documents show that Rivera was found unresponsive, but the Adams County Coroner’s Office has not yet made an official statement about the cause of death. His coworkers said he was passionate and friendly, and he worked hard to teach people about things they didn’t know.
