Matt Rife buys haunted Annabelle occult house from ‘Conjuring’

In a bizarre turn of events, Matt Rife is now the owner of Ed and Lorraine Warren’s Occult Museum, featured in The Conjuring movies.

Known as a comedian, he announced in a post that he had teamed up with ghost hunter Elton Castee to purchase the property.

“I have officially purchased Ed and Lorraine Warren’s home and Occult Museum, including being the legal guardian for at least the next 5 years, of the entire haunted collection including THE ANNABELLE DOLL, with my good friend @eltoncastee!!,” he wrote in the caption.

Rife continued, “If you know me, you know I’m obsessed with the paranormal and all things haunted. You also may know The Conjuring films are my favorite scary movies of all time. So I’m incredibly honored to have taken over one of the most prominent properties in paranormal history.”

“Ed and Lorraine Warren arguably put demonology and paranormal into the mainstream and are the very heart of some of the most famous haunted stories of all time, The Conjuring House, Amityville Horror,” he added.

The Occult Museum used to be open to the public but ended up closing in 2019 due to zoning issues.
