Matt Rife Assumed custodianship of the "Annabelle" artifact, sparking legitimate apprehension among the public.
In an unexpected turn of events, comedian Matt Rife and YouTuber Elton Castee have taken on a new challenge - becoming the caretakers of the haunted Annabelle doll and the Warrens' paranormal artifact collection. The news has sparked a wave of intrigue, surprise, and fascination across social media and various news outlets.
The Warren Occult Museum, which housed the allegedly haunted artifacts from the Warrens' investigations, has been closed since 2019 due to zoning issues. Now, under the new custodianship of Rife and Castee, fans and paranormal enthusiasts are eager to see how the property and museum will be restored and managed.
Rife's enthusiasm and sense of responsibility, evident from his Instagram posts, have been positively received by his followers and the paranormal communities. They express hope that the Warrens' legacy will be preserved and potentially revitalized under the new caretakers.
However, the controversial and often debated nature of paranormal claims has led to some skepticism or caution among certain social media users. Despite this, no widespread negative backlash or controversy has been reported.
One social media user wrote, "This makes me so sad for the doll like no way does she want this," while another humorously suggested, "Would be very funny if he was very clearly actually possessed during his next special. Doing crowd work like 'Does anyone else here love being an evil doll?'"
The infamous Annabelle doll, originally a Raggedy Ann doll, gained notoriety in the 1970s when a student nurse claimed it moved on its own. The Conjuring franchise later dramatized the story of Annabelle, leading to sequels and other movies about the Warrens and their haunted artifacts.
Tony Spera, the son-in-law of the Warrens, still owns the doll and the other alleged haunted artifacts but has leased them to Rife and Castee for at least the next five years. Fans will have a chance to book overnight stays or museum tours in the Warrens' former home, providing a unique opportunity to delve into the world of the paranormal.
In conclusion, the public sentiment towards Rife's new role as guardian of the paranormal collection and the Annabelle doll is primarily one of interest and curiosity. Support for Rife's enthusiasm and respect for the Warrens’ legacy is apparent, making this an unusual and noteworthy shift for a comedian, blending entertainment with paranormal history.
