Who Owns the Warren Occult Artifacts Today? Judy Spera, Tony Spera, and the $1 Million Estate Sale
The hundreds of items gathered during Ed Warren’s fifty years of field casework, the Conjuring Mirror, the organ that played on cue, the demonic idol from the woods of Connecticut, and the original Annabelle doll, were not sold to private collectors.
Under the provisions established before Lorraine Warren’s passing, legal custody of the museum's contents rolled into a protective trust operated under NESPR. Tony Spera acts as the principal curator and public administrator. Because the town of Monroe banned ticketed tours at the residential property as early as 2017, the most sensitive items were cataloged and moved to a secure, climate-controlled, undisclosed off-site location in Connecticut.
The Annabelle doll itself remains inside its custom wooden cabinet, backed by glass and marked with the sign reading "WARNING: Positively Do Not Open." A Catholic priest blesses the container with holy water at designated intervals, honoring a protocol established by Ed Warren prior to his death in 2006. While skeptics dismiss the items as mundane trinkets accompanied by sensational folklore, Spera treats the collection with strict religious caution.
