Comedian Matt Rife, on Friday, announced that he along with YouTuber Elton Chase had purchased Ed and Lorraine Warren's home and Occult Museum.
The duo were thrust back into the limelight with the popularity of the Conjuring series, which re-introduced audiences to a terrifying haunted artefact – the Annabelle doll.
With Rife purchasing the entire property, he's also acquired this doll, believed to be possessed by a demon. Even as he's expressed excitement with the new purchase, some fans have voiced concerns.
Nonetheless, when something of pop cultural and occult significance is sold, there is also curiosity about the price, and here's how much Matt Rife paid for the Annabelle doll.

What Matt Rife said about purchasing Warren's property
Rife, sharing the news with his fans, said, “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!! If you know me, you know I’m obsessed with the paranormal and all things haunted.”
He added, “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 Lorain 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.”
Then, Rife continued, “We plan to open the house for overnight stays and museum tours so you yourself can experience and learn all the haunted history surrounding this amazing place.”
