Comedian Matt Rife and YouTuber Elton Castee announced that they’ve purchased the Warren home in Connecticut, which houses the famed Annabelle doll.
The doll was made famous by “The Conjuring” movie series that was based on the work of Ed and Lorraine Warren.
In a post on Instagram, Rife said he will be the legal guardian of the Annabelle doll, and the entire haunted collection, for at least the next five years.
Rife said he and Castee plan to open the Warren home, in Monroe, Connecticut, for overnight stays and museum tours.
They’re doing it so that people can experience and learn all about the the building’s haunted history, Rife said.
Earlier this month, Dan Rivera, a paranormal investigator and one of the doll’s handlers, died suddenly, according to the New England Society for Psychic Research (NESPR).
“If you know me, you know I’m obsessed with the paranormal and all things haunted,” Rife said.
Rife said “The Conjuring” films have always been his favorite scary movies.
“I’m incredibly honored to have taken over one of the most prominent properties in paranormal history,” he said.
Paranormal investigator Dan Rivera, known for handling the Annabelle doll, died suddenly while on tour with the artifact.
