Annabelle at the Warrens' museum

hinzugefügt30. August 2026

The real Annabelle is not the porcelain doll of the films but an ordinary Raggedy Ann of the kind sold by the million in the 1960s. Her history is known solely from the accounts of Ed and Lorraine Warren, who took the doll in 1970 and put it in a glass case in their occult museum in Monroe, Connecticut. There is no independent confirmation of any episode. The museum has been closed to visitors since 2019, but the doll remains one of the most recognisable objects in American popular occultism.

Insel der Puppen

Ein Eiland in den Kanälen von Xochimilco bei Mexiko-Stadt, seit einem halben Jahrhundert mit aufgesammelten Puppen behängt. Sein Hüter sagte, er hänge sie auf, um den Geist eines ertrunkenen Mädchens zu besänftigen; nach seinem Tod 2001 wurde der Ort zum Touristenziel.

Amityville

Im November 1974 erschoss Ronald DeFeo Jr. sechs Mitglieder seiner Familie im Haus an der Ocean Avenue. Dreizehn Monate später zog die Familie Lutz ein und ging nach achtundzwanzig Tagen wieder — sie berichtete von grünem Schleim aus den Wänden, einem Fliegenschwarm mitten im Winter und einer Stimme, die ihnen befahl zu verschwinden. Ein Buch und die Filme machten die Adresse zum Begriff; spätere Bewohner bemerkten nichts, und einer von DeFeos Anwälten sagte schließlich, die Geschichte sei bei einer Flasche Wein erfunden worden.

The Rake

A hairless creature on four limbs, sitting beside a sleeping person's bed. It appeared around 2005 as a collaborative forum project: several users agreed to invent a monster and supply it with "historical evidence" — extracts from a 1691 ship's log, Spanish chronicles, diaries. Every document is fictional and was written the same evening. The case is interesting as a rare documented example of folklore being manufactured deliberately and from nothing.

Folklore

Cropsey

A children's bogeyman with a hook, told on Staten Island for generations — until children began disappearing in the neighbourhood in the 1980s and it emerged that a former orderly from the abandoned Willowbrook school was living beside it. Willowbrook was a real institution, closed after a 1972 investigation exposed appalling conditions. A rare and unpleasant case of a local bogeyman and a documented local history meeting at the same point on the map.

The Black Lady of Nesvizh Castle

Belarus's best-known ghost is Barbara Radziwiłł, the Polish queen who died in 1551 at twenty-nine. The story goes that her husband Sigismund Augustus was so undone by her death that he had her spirit summoned; the rite went wrong, and she has walked the galleries of the family castle at Nesvizh ever since. The castle is real and on the UNESCO list, tours run daily, and the Black Lady is the one exhibit that does not appear in the museum inventory.

The White Caver

The underground counterpart of the Black Climber, known to everyone who goes into caves across the former Soviet Union. What makes him white is calcite, settled on his clothes over years below ground. Meeting him traditionally means the party has lost the route. Cavers have a half-joking initiation rite for newcomers in which he is described — a rare case of folklore whose carriers know perfectly well it is folklore, and which is none the weaker for it.
