In this episode, we compare the real story of one of the most famous haunted dolls with the second film in the Conjuring universe: Annabelle. In 1970, a young nurse received a second-hand Raggedy Ann doll as a birthday gift from her mother. The woman would use the popular doll as a decorative piece in the apartment she shared with another nurse. It wasn't long before the doll, who the woman named Annabelle, went from cute to all-out terrifying when it began to move on its own around the apartment. By 1971, Ed and Lorraine Warren were called in. The film version of the Annabelle story opens with the Warrens talking to the nurses, but what else did the movie get right, and what did it get wrong?  Is the truth stranger than fiction?
