Overview

• Matt Rife and Elton Castee have taken legal guardianship of the Warren Occult Museum and its more than 750 purportedly haunted artifacts, including the Annabelle doll, in a five-year agreement starting early August.
• The museum was closed in 2019 after zoning violations and must secure safety approvals before public reopening.
• Rife intends to open the property for guided paranormal tours and overnight experiences that draw on the Warren investigation legacy.
• A specialist team has been hired to monitor paranormal activity among the collection during visits.
• Local authorities ruled that the July death of investigator Dan Rivera during an Annabelle tour was neither violent nor linked to supernatural causes.
