Matt Rife Says He Purchased Occult Museum, Becomes Guardian of Haunted Annabelle Doll

Matt Rife‘s going for both laughs and gasps it seems … ’cause the comedian now owns an occult museum — and, he’s the legal guardian of the haunted doll Annabelle.

The star posted about the purchase on social media Friday … telling fans he bought Ed and Lorraine Warren‘s house and occult museum with his friend, Elton Castee.

Rife — who’s a big fan of the paranormal, BTW — also says he’s the legal guardian of a whole collection of haunted objects … including the infamous Annabelle doll, which inspired the 2014 horror film.

‘The Conjuring’ series is one of Rife’s favorites, he adds … so it only made sense for him to throw down some cash and take over the house.

Rife says they plan to open the house for overnight stays and museum tours … no word on if you’ll get the chance to meet Rife with the price of admission, so slow your roll, ladies.

The Annabelle doll recently made headlines after its handler — paranormal investigator Dan Rivera — died while on tour with it. The doll was not in the same room with Rivera when he passed.

Lorraine and Ed said Annabelle had a “demonic” presence attached to her … so, Rife might be putting his safety at risk with this recent purchase.
