San Antonio, Texas – Paranormal enthusiasts have a unique opportunity this weekend as they can see the allegedly haunted doll, Annabelle, on display in San Antonio. The doll, which is believed to be possessed by a demon, will be featured as part of the Psychic and Spirit Fest taking place at the Victoria’s Black Swan Inn.
Annabelle is currently on a nationwide tour that allows fans to view her in person. She is scheduled to be on display at the Black Swan Inn on Saturday, from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m., and on Sunday, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The event is organized by Curious Twins Paranormal & Ghost Tours, known for their engagement with the local paranormal community.
During the Psychic and Spirit Fest, attendees can expect to see a variety of activities including guest speakers, gallery readings, demonologists, psychics, mediums, and more. Additionally, guides from the New England Society of Psychic Research will lead tours of the museum’s collection of haunted artifacts, providing deeper context into each item’s history.
Annabelle has gained significant notoriety from her association with renowned paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren. The Warrens collected the doll as one of many notable items linked to various hauntings, and their research has inspired films and television series, including the popular “Conjuring” series. Annabelle’s story was adapted into several movies: “Annabelle,” “Annabelle: Creation,” and “Annabelle Comes Home.” The doll’s origins trace back to the 1970s when she was a simple red-haired Raggedy Ann doll gifted to a nursing student.
As the tale goes, inexplicable disruptions began occurring after the doll was introduced into the nursing student’s life. The Warrens recounted stories of paranormal incidents surrounding Annabelle, which has further fueled interest in her and the mysteries of hauntings. This tour aims not to evoke fear but to educate the public on the origins of such objects and their associated claims of hauntings.
The Black Swan Inn, where the event is being held, is itself reputed to be haunted by the spirit of a Confederate soldier and has been featured in several paranormal TV series, adding another layer of intrigue for attendees. Each ticket for the Psychic and Spirit Fest includes access to the museum, with 100 tickets available at the gate for the Saturday event, allowing local fans and curious visitors to witness Annabelle’s eerie presence.
Additionally, Annabelle recently garnered attention on social media, having been featured in a viral TikTok video that showed her being carried into a Royal Street location and placed in a protective case, further intensifying the public’s interest in her haunted legacy.
For those intrigued by the paranormal or simply looking for an extraordinary experience, the Psychic and Spirit Fest at Victoria’s Black Swan Inn presents a remarkable opportunity to encounter one of the most famous haunted artifacts in the world.
