Keeper of 'Cursed' Annabelle Doll Dies at 54

The death of the 54-year-old keeper of the 'cursed and demon-possessed' Annabelle doll was reported by the New England Society for Psychic Research. Dan Rivera died on July 13 at a hotel in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. He suddenly fell ill, and CPR was of no help. This happened after Rivera took the doll for a 'walk' to the National Soldiers' Home building, which is allegedly haunted by ghosts, writes The Independent. Rivera avidly studied paranormal phenomena, which he had 'encountered at an early age in his home,' according to his biography. This time, Dan embarked on a tour across America with the Annabelle doll, showcasing it to the public.
