As another movie sequel featuring Annabelle is set to be released this year, the iconic haunted doll has been making waves across America, sending TikTokers into a frenzy. On May 13, the notoriously haunted Raggedy Ann doll, Annabelle, arrived in New Orleans, Louisiana. She was brought there as part of a special event at Ghost City Tours, allowing visitors to observe the infamous doll on the nights of May 13 and 14. Rumors suggest that the haunted Annabelle doll was responsible for a fire at a Louisiana plantation house and for a prison break in New Orleans.
