In a wooden case, sat below three crosses - behind a pane of glass with a sign that reads ‘WARNING - positively do not open,’ sits a doll. This doll is probably the most famous, and definitely the most haunted in the world. This doll so cursed indeed that it is regularly blessed by a priest, the case it is held in is inscribed with the lords prayer, and the very stain of the wooden case is laced with holy water. Upon the door sits a devil tarot as an indication that of all the haunted artefacts in that room, this is the most evil. This flame-haired Raggedy Ann doll looks like the toy of a child, but in reality it is said to harbour a dark and evil entity, one so wicked in fact, it is even believed to be responsible for the death of a young man. This doll is one of the many haunted items kept in the paranormal museum of the paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, and this is the fable of the infamous world-known Annabelle.

So sit back, relax, and spiral in with me as we explore the worlds most cursed doll. 

In 1926 Waverley Hills Sanatorium opened its doors as America’s most advanced tuberculosis hospital. 

The only issue? All treatments were experimental. Patients were subject to a whole host of grizzly procedures to try and better find a cure for the disease, and the main reason they were kept in this hospital wasn’t even to find said cure - it was to isolate the sick from the general population. 

Dur to this, thousands of deaths occurred within its walls. 

With all these dark happenings is it any wonder that Waverley Hills went on to become one of, if not the most haunted building in the world? 

So I invite you please, sit back, relax, and spiral in with me as we explore the hallways and ghosts, of Waverley Hills Sanatorium.

The year is 1974, and a strange new form of belief is just starting to find its grip in the minds of a few ill-fated souls. A belief system indeed that would lead to one of the worst mass suicides to take place on American soil. How did a supposed biblical prophecy lead to a religion that included aliens, spaceships, and telepathy gain followers, and, how did it end in such tragedy?

I invite you dear listener to sit back, relax and spiral in with me as we explore the death cult that was Heaven's Gate.
