Raggedy Ann
This deceptively folksy lass is perhaps the most infamous of them all. A Raggedy Ann toy was the conduit for the “inhuman spirit” that haunts the doll we now know as Annabelle, which was displayed along with other occult objects at a now-shuttered museum run by paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren. Back in the ‘70s the duo took it from a group of girls it was haunting and attacking as it looked for a human host. It has since been kept protected with holy water under lock and key behind a glass box; according to the legend, it’s so dangerous that no one is allowed to touch it—because the last time someone did, they were kicked out of the museum and died on the road back home. The future movie star was redesigned for her debut in The Conjuring, but her backstory is terrifying no matter what she looks like.
