In the 1970s, two nursing students were given a stuffed doll that seemed to take on a life of its own. Not only would they return to find the doll in new positions around the home, soon it began writing them notes. With the help of a medium, the women learned the doll was possessed by the spirit of a little girl named Annabelle. But when the doll’s actions became physical, they realized the entity was a lot more sinister.
