"We are heartbroken and still processing this loss," wrote the society. "Dan truly believed in sharing his experiences and educating people on the paranormal. "His kindness and passion touched everyone who knew him." Most read in The US Sun Rivera, who is a US Army veteran, was working as the lead investigator for the society when he died. His death came just months after he achieved viral fame on TikTok by posting about his paranormal tour and findings on the historic doll. The real Annabelle, a Raggedy Ann doll, has been blamed for several eerie paranormal attacks over the decades. The toy was first given to a student nurse Donna in 1970 as a gift from her mother. Donna claims that Annabelle would move from room to room without explanation, and wrote eerie notes that said "Help us." A friend of Donna's mother named Lou even claimed that one time when staying at their home, he woke up to a feeling of being strangled and had scratches on his body. He remembers watching his horror as Annabelle stared at him during the attack, according to the society. The New England Society for Psychic Research's full statement on Rivera's death " It's with deep sadness that Tony, Wade, and I share the sudden passing of our close friend and partner, Dan Rivera. " We are heartbroken and still processing this loss. " Dan truly believed in sharing his experiences and educating people on the paranormal. " His kindness and passion touched everyone who knew him. " Thank you for your support and kind thoughts during this difficult time. " HAUNTING HISTORY Donna's mom and her nurse called a medium, who told them the story of a girl named Annabelle Higgins who was found dead at the age of seven. They then called paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, who inspired The Conjuring films, to look into the eerie claims. In a lecture given at Rutgers University in 1987, the Warrens claimed that Annabelle would "slash" people's skin with her psychic powers. They said that a priest threw the doll across the room once and said, "No doll or demon is stronger than God" before running his car into a tree. The doll was being held at the Warrens' Occult Museum in Monroe, Connecticut, until 2019, when Lorraine died and the museum closed. Legend has it that a man was killed by the doll after he banged on its case, despite being warned not to touch it. Rivera, who was mentored by the couple, took ownership of Annabelle and hoped to continue their work with his research and tour. His sudden death came after the Warren family had to squash claims that the doll had disappeared. 4 Rivera's cause of death hasn't been released Credit: Instagram/dan_rivera_nespr More to follow...
