The Paranormal Festival is known as the Psychic and Spirit Fest, which will be held at the Black Swan Inn on May 17, 2025. The fourth edition of the fest is presented by the Curious Twins Paranormal & Ghost Tour. One of the main spectacles of the Paranormal Festival this year is the infamous 'Annabelle" doll. According to the description from the Psychic and Spirit Fest, the reason they decided to bring in Annabelle is because of public demand.

Here are the exact details:

"This year, Psychic & Spirit Fest will bring the acclaimed Warrens Occult Museum back to San Antonio, showcasing the most notorious paranormally-active object in the world. Last year we had several attendees voice that they wanted to see the legendary Annabelle come to San Antonio."

In addition to the haunted doll, the Paranormal festival will see two more haunted objects from Ed and Lorraine's traveling museum. It will also include gallery readings, demonologists, psychics, guest speakers, mediums, and more.


More details about 'Annabelle' coming to the Paranormal Festival in San Antonio

Annabelle is probably one of the most widely known haunted objects in the world, thanks to the dramatization of the doll through films and movies. So far, there are three movies that revolve around the doll. These include Annabelle (2014), Annabelle: Creation (2017), and Annabelle Comes Home (2019).

After much demand by the public, the Curious Twins Paranormal & Ghost Tour decided to bring Annabelle to the Paranormal festival. You can see the doll at the Black Swan Inn from 4:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. on May 17, 2025. However, people with VIP tickets have access to a special museum-only event on Sunday. The event on Sunday will start from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

Information about the doll and other items from Ed and Lorraine Warren’s collection will be shared by guides from the New England Society of Psychic Research (NESPR).

Before the haunted 'Annabelle' arrived in San Antonio, it had been making rounds on TikTok. Ryan Daniel Buell, who is a paranormal investigator and former host of A&E's Paranormal State, posted videos of the doll being transported to the West Virginia State Penitentiary. The doll was at the allegedly haunted prison from May 8 to 11.

This was a part of the "Devils on the Run Tour," where haunted items from the Warrens Occult Museum collection travel all around the US.


Tickets to the Paranormal Festival, which will be hosted on May 17, 2025, are limited. However, the organizers have assured that at least 100+ tickets will be sold at the entrance on Saturday, with museum access for Sunday.
