EXCLUSIVE - 'A portal to hell': Listen to the spine-tingling voice of a 'demon' recorded by an utterly convinced police chief and priest at haunted Indiana house where children were 'possessed'

  • Latoya Ammons moved into a home with her mother and 3 children in Gary, Indiana in 2011 and started hearing footsteps in the basement
  • Over time, she and her children, aged 12, 9 and 8, became 'possessed'; their eyes would bulge, they'd shake and growl
  • A clairvoyant said the home was haunted by 200 demons
  • Sons were taken to hospital after one was inexplicably thrown in the house - while there a nurse and a CPS worker saw him walk backwards up a wall
  • Speaking to Mailonline, the town's veteran police chief, Charles Austin, says he became too afraid to enter the home at night and saw objects moving and recorded scary whispers
  • He even claims he was 'attacked' away from the house with his car moving backwards and forwards on its own
  • Catholic priest Father Michael Maginot carried out exorcisms on Ammons and gave Mailonline audio of a 'demon' rasping 'hey' in the basement
  • He claims to have banished the spirits after learning of their weaknesses

Anything from the Daily Mail is suspect. It's apparently England's version of National Enquirer.

They pulled it from here:

The exorcisms of Latoya Ammons

Reading is Fundamental!

I agree. I read about this yesterday and the day before, and if you click on all the hyperlinks, it shows official documentation from two police departments, hospital personnel, the priest's letter to the bishop requesting an exorcism, copies of original paperwork on DCS observation and examinations of the children, etc. There's a lot more to it if you read the fine print.

I certainly don't know what happened, of course, but I just can't immediately say, "Oh, what nonsense" without inquiring further.

I am not sure what to make of it but there is a lot of documentation. It could be a delusion on the part of the mother.

I wonder what the history of the house is.

The EVP voice sounds just like most legitimate EVPs I've heard and collected and it doesn't strike me as "evil". My first impression is no demon, just normal ghosties/haunting + a teeny weenie bit of story exaggeration.

I haven't listened to the EVPs, but my first thoughts were that it sounded like a "run of the mill" haunting situation & the mother may have overreacted, probably due to her religious beliefs. Then they all freaked out and the whole thing escalated into a hysterical response.

Today TMZ is reporting that the guy "Zak" from some ghost show (didn't notice which one) has purchased the house for $35,000 & plans to live there.

According to what I have read--the current tenants if the home have reported no abnormalities.

Zak Bagans is the guy from "Ghost Adventures" on the Travel Channel. Like similar programs, it's overly dramatic. He ain't 'fraid of no ghosts. Who ya gonna call?

More likely, there isn't any haunting, etc., but just the overactive imagination of the hysterical mom. I would think if there was a classical haunting or whatever, the current tenants would've noticed something strange. But from what you're saying, they haven't reported anything unusual. Sounds like it's just a regular house to me that got some press because of a hysterical, superstitious woman and her freaked out family.
