Annabelle is the prequel to the film The Conjuring. In this movie, Annabelle is a doll wherein the soul of Annabelle Higgins is trapped inside the doll after she commits suicide. It just makes the topic how demons/evil beings use inanimate objects like dolls and mirrors as a portal or conduit to our world.

I had one experience back when I was in high school. My grandmother had a friend who was a priest and he had a sensitivity towards the supernatural. When he sees or touches a possessed object, he would burp constantly. One day he was invited by my grandma to have lunch in her house. During that time a cousin from the US was visiting for the summer and she had a Tazmanian Devil stuffed toy.

She left it on the sofa and when the priest saw the stuffed toy he began to burp continuously. He sounded like a wounded walrus screaming for help. We were all shocked at this and in between burps he asked my grandma to burn the stuffed animal. Even though my cousin was vehemently trying to stop grandma from trashing her beloved toy, she didn't have a choice. When the toy was finally burned into ashes, the priest automatically stopped his belching staccato.
All this happened before we had lunch. It was then that the priest explained to us how the devil or demons or evil beings use certain inanimate objects as a conduit to reach out and do harm to the living. I could never forget this experience.
Have you seen Annabelle the movie? Let me know if you have a story like mine.
