In an Instagram video, Rife said he and Castee now owned the home and museum and, as a result, became the “legal guardians” of hundreds of haunted artifacts and items at the home and museum, including Annabelle the doll. A rep for Rife told People Magazine the purchase was “legit.”

Matt Rife and Elton Castee have purchased the Monroe, Conn. home of Ed and Lorraine Warren, who inspired Warner Bros' 'The Conjuring' franchise.
