Priest Who Blesses Annabelle: “You Can Feel The Devil Next To The Doll”

Annabelle, the doll that inspired horror movies, is truly cursed according to Canadian priest Platon Angelakis, who blesses her twice a month.

Angelakis was ordained an Orthodox Catholic priest with the Oblates of St. Teresa, Wisconsin, in 1999. He is also an active member of the American Exorcist Association since 2013.

He was interviewed via Zoom by La Teja, a Costa Rican newspaper, along with Keeyah Lynn (46), his assistant. She used to be a witch, but is now a sister ordained by the Order of Saint Michael along with the Catholic Church in Canada.

As you may know, Annabelle was a gift from a mother to her 18-year-old daughter, Donna, who left home to study nursing at university in 1970.

Donna shared a room with another student named Angie and they both began to experience strange things.

Annabelle would appear in different positions every single day. Donna assured that there were occasions when the doll would wake up in other rooms of the university headquarters.

Later, at Donna and Angie’s room would appear notes with weird messages as asking for help.

On one occasion Donna found a small trace of apparent blood under , the doll so she looked for a medium who told them that the spirit of a seven year old girl named Annabelle Higgins had owned the doll. It is assumed that the girl had passed away in that place, hence, she possesed the doll.

A friend of Donna’s named Lou used to visit her frequently and had asked her to throw the doll on many occasions. One time, he fell asleep in the room where the doll was and suddenly he woke up unable to move. Lou claimed that Annabelle tried to strangle him and squeezed his neck so hard he passed out and woke up until the next day.

He thought, he had a bad dream so he kept going to Donna’s place but on another occasion he heard sounds in a room where there was no one but the doll. He walked over to her and suddenly he felt someone behind him and without any explanation, seven scratches appeared on his chest, which healed completely the next day.

Donna called a number of people from her church to help her and that’s how they contacted the Warrens, who were already famous for paranormal issues.

The Warrens investigated the case and concluded that the possession was actually the work of a demon.

The couple took a priest to clean the place and the doll was taken away to avoid someone to get hurt.

From that moment the paranormal events in Donna’s life ended.

According to the newspaper, when Angelakis was asked if the story of the doll was true he answered “Yes, it is true and yes, it is cursed”.

He was also questioned about how he felt whenever he was around the doll, “Strange, very strange. Uncomfortable, creepy. The atmosphere is heavy, one realizes that there are very negative vibrations there. You can feel the devil next to the doll,” he replied.

The priest also proceed to explain why Annabelle, if being possessed, is unable to get out of the small wooden and glass urn she is captived.

“Because the box is blessed, it has water, oil and blessed crucifixes around it. Nobody touches that box without having their hands soaked in holy water.” he said, “It is not a box that moves a lot, in fact, hardly anyone touches it and it is always in the museum. Annabelle is not an object for everyone to see, it is a diabolical object and that is why it needs to be in a blessed cage”, he added.

Meanwhile Lynn said that every time she visits Annabelle she leaves loaded with bad vibes and demons.

“So much so that a friend of mine was already affected by one and on one occasion, when I got home, my son began to vomit without stopping,” said Lynn.

Vera Farmiga Shared Her Haunting Experienced While Shooting The Conjuring

There are many stories of films that are considered cursed, especially horror movies. Actress Vera Farmiga, who plays Lorraine Warren, experienced herself paranormal events while filming The Conjuring. The film is based on real events, the Warren marriage existed, as well as the museum in which the cursed objects that they contained are located.

The Conjuring tells the story of the Perron family, and how they must deal with a demonic entity that is living in their house, so they look for the help of the demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren.

Before filming began, Farmiga met director James Wan during pre-production to talk about how she was going to portray the character of Lorraine.

But before the meeting, she was checking some things on her personal computer and then closed it off. After talking to James and confirming that she would accept the role, she opened her laptop again to continue investigating about the Warrens and found a scratch on the screen like a three-claw mark.

This inexplicable event happened again several months later, on the day that filming ended. But this time the mark appeared on one of her thighs. Vera described them as long claw marks, or large fingerprints.

In a video in which she is with the real Lorraine, shared the photo of her scratch. This astonished the psychic and told her that she should have poured holy water.

But when she becomes the newest target of The Butcher (Vince Vaughn), her town’s infamous serial killer, her senior year becomes the least of her worries.

When The Butcher’s mystical ancient dagger causes him and Millie to wake up in each other’s bodies, Millie learns that she has just 24 hours to get her body back before the switch becomes permanent and she’s trapped in the form of a middle-aged maniac forever.

With some help from her friends—ultra-woke Nyla (Celeste O’Connor), ultra-fabulous Joshua (Misha Osherovich) and her crush Booker (Uriah Shelton)—Millie races against the clock to reverse the curse while The Butcher discovers that having a female teen body is the perfect cover for a little Homecoming killing spree.

Curtis Johnston

After taking a look at this photo of Corey Carlsonn, it is pretty clear that there’s a spirit on the left. He decided to share with his Instagram followers about who this woman was. “For those of you who saw this photo of me, this is the lady who disappeared in this house back in 2001, her name was Curtis Johnston.” Although the ghost in the photo was identified, what remains a mystery is knowing exactly what happened to her.

The chair of agony

Ted Lucher, was an engineer who went to the prison to repair the electric chair that belonged to the state of Tennessee, he took a picture of the chair. He later realized a ghost hand can be seen on the armrest, as well as a face of agony.

Strange walk at the park

Their calm night out took a twist after this chilling photo. When the picture was taken, one of them reported feeling a presence on her left side moments early. The picture would reveal later that there was a presence there at the moment they took it. It remains a mystery who could have that been, but what we know for sure is that they captured an actual ghost on picture.

When the soul leaves the body

This photo was taken a couple of hours before this man passed away. As he rested on his hospital bed, strange auras could be seen fluttering around his body. These three bright clouds of light are part of what can be called ascension or the moment when the soul leaves the body. While this is not something that has been proven and there is no definitive explanation for the orbs of light, there is obviously something mystical going on here.

Passenger in the back seat

This photo was taken by Mrs. Mabel Chinnery in 1959 while visiting a cemetery. Ms. Mabel Chinnery went to her car when she saw that her husband was already in the car all alone waiting for her. She decided to take a picture of him. However he was not alone in the car. Once they revealed the picture, they noticed a blurred figure of another man’s head.

Uninvited guest

This photo was taken in 1985 at St. Mary’s Guildhall, Coventry, England, which was once a prison. The story behind this pic is that it was taken during Masons’ dinner when they were about to say their prayer before meal. In the picture, a robed man can be seen bowing with the rest of the guests, but when everyone was asked if they had seen him, people said they didn’t remember him being there. Nobody recognized him so it’s still a mystery his identity.

Devotee ghost

In 1975, a man and his wife attended Mass at Worstead Church in Norfolk, U.K. As the wife sat and silently prayed on the bench, her husband took this strange photo of her. It seems that the woman wasn’t alone at all, as she is accompanied by a kind of glowing figure sitting in the row behind her. Although there is no clear explanation of what the figure could have been, it seems that it could have been a good spirit considering that this took place in a church.

Don’t take it

This lady took this photo in the basement of her new home. But once she saw it, she had no doubts that the house was in fact haunted. She claimed that two days before she took the picture, she had heard her 4-year-old brother at the basement yelling “No, don’t take it” when he was supposed to be alone. Perhaps what the boy saw was this mysterious figure too.

Seeing the light

In this picture,  there’s also a man on his deathbed and some light above him. Some parapsychologists claim this is the only type of proof they need to solidify theories that explain how auras and bodily energies work after passing away.
