Couple claim their Annabelle doll is possessed after it causes mystery illness

A husband and wife have told how they believe their Annabelle Raggedy Ann doll is possessed after a series of terrifying events unfolded.

Lee and Linzi Steer, 37 and 52, who run the Museum of Haunted Objects from their home in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, said they have caught the doll on camera flipping over their ouija board table. They also believe the doll is behind a near-car crash, and caused them to suffer mysterious illnesses - which once led to Linzi being in hospital for a week.

In the museum, Linzi has also felt something grab her neck tightly, and has seen things fly across the room with no logical explanation, which she believes could be because of their doll. Their doll is an identical copy of a notoriously evil rag doll in the US that inspired The Conjuring and Annabelle horror films, and they think that theirs may contain the spirit of the original.
