Annabelle the Demon Doll is on Tour

The Warrens Intervention
Donna reached out for help, and through a kind of priestly game of telephone, ended up with one calling the Warrens to investigate. They immediately concluded that Annabelle was being used by an inhuman spirit -- but that they don't inhabit things, they possess people. An inhuman spirit can attach itself to most anything, and manipulated the doll's movements with the ultimate goal of possessing one of the girls. It had tricked the psychic they had spoken to, presenting as a young girl to play on Donna and her roommate's good natures. The Warrens posited that within a matter of weeks, the inhuman spirit would be able to inhabit one of the girls or their friend, and ultimately harm or kill the occupants of the apartment. The apartment was blessed by a priest, and the Warrens took Anabelle with them. Side note that on their way home, the Warrens dealt with their car swerving and stalling while Annabelle was in it, until Ed Warren doused it with holy water.

Living with the Warrens
Ed decided the place for evil was sitting next to his desk. He claimed that it levitated on occasion, and then started its game back up of appearing in different rooms of the house. They would lock it up while they were out, and come back to it sitting in Ed's easy chair. At one point a young priest came over and picked Annabelle up, told it that it was just a doll that couldn't do anything, and tossed it back into the chair. On his way home, his brakes failed at a busy intersection and he was in a terrible collision that was near-fatal and totalled the car. The Warrens had a special case built for Annabelle inside their small occult museum, which she has since not left. However, in one instance a visitor banged on the case and demanded that Annabelle put scratches on him to prove it was real. Ed Warren asked him to leave. The man and his girlfriend left, and on the way home he lost control of his motorcycle and hit a tree head-on, dying. The girlfriend was hospitalized for a year.
