“Looks are deceiving,” Lorraine Warren, who died earlier this year, told USA Todaywhen discussing Annabelle. Regardless of image, the real doll is said to be dangerous.
It’s actually an innocent-looking Raggedy Ann doll. In real life, the Annabelle doll is not wide-eyed and made of porcelain. The Annabelle movie fans are taught to fear has been jazzed up for Hollywood purposes. The main difference between New Line’s Annabelle and the Occult Museum’s doll is appearance. Spera says the Annabelle doll is accurately portrayed in the films - at least according to the mythology of the museum. It is believed that the woman the officers hit was the White Lady of Union Graveyard. All of the local hospitals and police were called, but no accidents were reported - there was no living lady. The White Lady was able to become solid that night because “the energy spewing from the transformers gave the spirit the energy to manifest,” Spera explains. The impact was so severe that the crash dented their truck. An off-duty policeman and firefighter were responding to a call when they accidentally struck the White Lady. On a separate occasion, when a transformer fire broke out on Route 25, the White Lady supposedly manifested herself to such a degree as to become solid.
When the White Lady went through Rod, he “felt a sense of sorrow and compassion, like she was trying to tell him something,” perhaps attempting to imbue the potentially tragic details of her untimely death. He looked out from the window once more, and saw his side of the road tinted with a brick red hue, as if someone had coated the road with red paint. When the apparition disappeared, Spera said that Rod felt “a wisp of air go by his right ear,” and he just knew that that sensation was her going through the car. As soon as he did, the White Lady lunged at the vehicle and went right through his car. The White Lady, as she is called, raised her hand up in front of her, as if to say “stop.” Rod sharply pumped the brakes. Rod refocused his eyes on the road, and in doing so unexpectedly spotted a woman about 35 or 40 yards ahead of him dressed in a white gown with a veil. When Rod looked over, the entity vanished into thin air, just as quickly as it arrived. Rod looked away overcome by fear, and then slowly turned to peek again. Rod glanced over his shoulder, and to his surprise saw a man dressed in ’60s garb.
He was going down Route 59 when he suddenly felt a presence take form in his passenger seat. One night in 2009, Rod was driving past Union graveyard at around 1 a.m after he clocked out of work. “Even recently people have caught a glimpse of this figure.”Īccording to Spera, one of the supposed witnesses of the White Lady was a young man named Rod Vescey. “She has been spotted for decades and decades,” Spera says. The official story behind the white gown in the Occult Museum that the museum claims to be true is of the White Lady of Union Graveyard, Connecticut. Spera confirms that the killer fiance origin story of the gown portrayed is 100 percent fictional, and was solely designed to up the spine-chilling ante of the film for the big screen. Spera debunks the dress’ roots, confirming that a white gown is present in the Occult Museum, but that it’s not known whether or not the dress ever belonged to a bride. Whoever puts the dress on is sure to murder her fiance. Within the first half hour of the film, the backstory behind the deadly dress is revealed. In Annabelle Comes Home, a wedding dress in the museum has a strong presence. Here, the curator of the Connecticut-based museum breaks down the legends that inspired the latest film, and how they differ from what made it to the big screen.
To investigate, The Hollywood Reporter spoke to Tony Spera, the real-life Occult Museum curator and son-in-law of renowned demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren. Fans have no way of knowing which haunted artifacts presented in the film are based on actual ones, and which are Hollywood ploys for quick jump-scares. But with the latest installment, when the theater lights turn back on, viewers may be left with more questions than answers. New Line’s Annabelle and Conjuring films are based on accounts that paranormal researchers claim to be true. The cursed doll Annabelle was first introduced to horror audiences in The Conjuring (2013), and proved to be so compelling that the porcelain figure quickly became the subject of her own franchise with Annabelle (2014), Annabelle: Creation (2017) and the latest, Gary Dauberman’s Annabelle Comes Home.
