In 1969, a young couple, Norma and Richard Mullins, lived in a quaint farmhouse in California. They had a daughter, Bee, who was just 5 years old. One day, while shopping at a second-hand store, Norma found a beautiful antique porcelain doll with a distinctive face and golden locks. The doll was named Annabelle, and Norma couldn't resist bringing her home.
