The speaker shares the true story behind the Annabelle doll, which inspired the horror movies. The doll was given to a nursing student in 1970 by her mother. The student and her roommate soon discovered that the doll would move around the house, and they found strange notes written on parchment paper. A priest was called to help, and he discovered that the doll was not possessed by a 7-year-old girl, as previously thought, but by a malevolent entity. The entity was using the doll to try to possess a human body. A couple, known for dealing with supernatural entities, was called to help. They performed a 7-page blessing to cleanse the house of negative energy and expel the entity. However, the entity remained inside the doll, and the couple took it to their house, which is now an occult museum. The doll is kept in a glass box to prevent it from causing harm.
