Annabelle the doll became a horror icon thanks to 2013's 'The Conjuring,' but is it real? Here's everything to know about the haunted history of the terrifying toy.

Annabelle became a household name in 2014 when a horror film followed the story of a doll that became possessed, haunting a couple nearly to their death. Now, the real doll that inspired the movie and its sequels — also called Annabelle — is in the spotlight.

Pennsylvania State Police said officers found 'nothing unusual or suspicious' in the hotel room where paranormal investigator Dan Rivera was found dead.

The movies were based on a real doll, owned by paranormal investigators, Ed and Lorraine Warren. ... including Annabelle,” Lorraine Warren said in the same USA Today interview.
