About this listen

On this chilling episode of Late Night Legends, K leads the team into one of the most infamous cases in paranormal history: the story of Annabelle the Doll. Joined by Tim, Maria, and Charlie, the crew unravels the unsettling origin and growing mythology around this seemingly innocent Raggedy Ann doll turned alleged demonic vessel.


We explore the original 1970s haunting, when a nursing student claimed Annabelle moved on her own and left eerie handwritten notes. Things escalated until the case caught the attention of famed demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren, who locked her away in their Occult Museum with a warning: “Positively Do Not Open.”


But the legend didn’t end there. From rumors of her “escape” in 2020, to viral TikToks, museum controversies, and the cultural impact of the Conjuring universe, K guides the team through recent developments, raising the question: is this truly a haunted artifact—or the most brilliant paranormal PR campaign of all time?


The Legends are split down the middle. Is Annabelle a genuine case of possession… or just a well-stitched con?


👻 Cursed objects. Demonology. Disbelief. And a little side-eye at the Warrens. Classic Late Night Legends—where the flashlight batteries always die right when it gets weird.
