Halloween used to mean rubber masks and fog machines.

A Saugus woman says strange activity began after she viewed the Annabelle doll at Salem’s new Haunted Warren Museum — a flickering flashlight, a cold room, a dead bird behind locked windows, and a radio that only glitched when she was in the car. Kayla Jackson went to Salem to see Annabelle. Two days later, she says Annabelle came back with her.

The lights are about to come back on in the house that started it all.

No new address. No new floor plan. The same rooms, the same hallways, the same bedroom where a couple once tried to prove they weren’t alone. The next Paranormal Activity m

The air around the Haunted Mansion has always felt a little thicker than the rest of the park. Now that same presence is traveling home in three-inch vinyl form.
