Woman possessed by demons in 'portal to hell' house that terrified even the police reveals ordeal

[davidn3600]

A woman whose horrific experience living in an Indiana home that she and even city police are convinced was a haunted 'portal to hell' has spoken out on her paranormal trauma and what it was like to be a family possessed.

Latoya Ammons says she has seen her own daughter levitate off a bed, her son walk up a wall so effortlessly that even a psychiatrist was at a loss and was herself the victim of demonic possession in what appears to be an average home in the Gary community near where Michael Jackson grew up.

'Me and my mother and my children, we almost lost our lives,' said Ammons, whose undeniably terrifying experience left her chilled to her core and now has an entire nation captivated by her spectral tale.

Ammons sat with Inside Edition for a deeply earnest interview in which she makes abundantly clear that her ordeal was no Casper the ghost made real.

'This was obviously demons,' she said. 'Not just random spirits. There is a difference.'

Some days I'm amazed people have enough brain cells not to forget to breathe.

[WinkyDink]

5. Especially when it is clear they don't read the linked articles......

"But today, the veteran police officers, experienced physicians, paramedics, nurses, social workers and clergy linked to the case speak of being ‘attacked’ by demons, profoundly shaken and left with little choice but to believe that ‘something’ possessed the 32-year-old mother-of-three and the rented home in which she, her children and her mother, lived from November 2011 until May 2012."

So all these people are stupid dolts?

42. Here's what Dave Berry said about puns...

Puns are little "plays on words" that a certain breed of person loves to spring on you and then look at you in a certain self-satisfied way to indicate that he thinks that you must think that he is by far the cleverest person on Earth now that Benjamin Franklin is dead, when in fact what you are thinking is that if this person ever ends up in a lifeboat, the other passengers will hurl him overboard by the end of the first day even if they have plenty of food and water.

I hope it is the type of vessel that is called a punt.

34. Scientific Materialists are by definition dense. They only do 1/2 of reality.

[Warren DeMontague]

75. Yeah, the half without leprechauns, magic hats, and demons.

[eShirl]

43. YES

amazing, but there it is

[RKP5637]

58. A lot of weird shit goes on in life. We're not very far down the road of knowing

everything. I don't know what this was, not claiming anything, but just saying there's a lot that none of us know. ... my background heavy in the sciences for decades, I just find it difficult to dismiss something (or accept it) without some good empirical data.

[notadmblnd]

62. However, the current owner who receently sold the house to Zac Bagins

of "Ghost Hunters" fame has had no problems in the house.

[laundry_queen]

73. That's because

(and I know this from watching tv shows like Supernatural and horror movies ) that demons stay attached to the person, not necessarily the place.

[Warren DeMontague]

74. What's this world coming to, when people don't believe what they read in the Daily Mail?

Fie on you, demon-denying scientific materialists!

[hobbit709]

6. the only demons there were inside people's minds.

19. Exactly.

Demons = Nonsense

7. Yikes.

I don't think this kind of thing is common, but it does happen.

[Archae]

40. So do flying saucers and alien adductions...

Problem is, it only happens in the minds of the gullible.

she just sold this run down dump for 37 thousand dollars.

23. Zak Bagans of Ghost Adventures TV show bought the house.

[JustAnotherGen]

32. How could she

Wasnt she renting from that Reed guy? He said he had been a land lord there for 33 years.

[LuvNewcastle]

39. Yes, according to the article, there are new tenants living in the house today.

The priest says that the hauntings have stopped after his last exorcism. Of course, the article is from The Mail, so I'm sure there are as many factual errors in the article as there are spelling mistakes.

[pinboy3niner]

45. Link to a better source is posted by mainer in # 21

It also identifies the home as a rental.

[reddread]

10. on a similar note

http://news.msn.com/us/obama-to-visit-saudi-arabia-in-march-report

[Bluenorthwest]

11. Ah the Daily Mail, pushing bullshit for a lifetime!

This is part of the whole 'let's promote the Insane Pope' routine going on in the world, Francis and his lot are heavy into exorcism and rhetoric claiming those they dislike are demonically influenced, 'of the devil' and that ideas about equality and justice are from Satan.

[Violet_Crumble]

13. Plus the writing was appalling...

I thought that journalists, even ones that work for crappy rags like that, have the ability to write coherent paragraphs as part of their job description. This one looked like it was churned out by a seven year old who was doing a school project and who got into difficulty with the whole copy and paste thing in Word which resulted in entire sentences being repeated over and over again.

But I believe the story. After all, I've seen similar on 'Supernatural' so it must be true!!!

[Codeine]

14. Fucking moron. nt

[postulater]

15. Single case report. N=1.

Has this experiment been replicated? No.

Is there a controlled trial of 'random spirit' versus 'demon' versus 'placebo spirit'? No.

Until then, I'll wait for a meta-analysis before I start considering this is a marketable phenomenon.

If is does prove to be a spreading epidemic then there will be a huge market for home vaccines. I'd go with Ghostbusters because of their proven track record and high level of consumer confidence.

[ck4829]

17. How come houses are never possessed by Casper or other friendly ghosts?

Just once, it'd be nice to hear a story of someone saying invisible forces made them breakfast or ghosts tidying up the place.

[SwampG8r]

30. on du ask and you receive

in 1983 I lived in a small frame house on Thomasville road in Tallahassee florida. the house was old and had been a family home for one of the earlier local families.
when anyone had an appointment, the day before the little appointment card would appear in a corner shelf at eye level
and by eye level I mean eye level of the person who had an appointment (including pets)
this happened if we were home or not and it happened without regard to who was home (by this I mean that by people not being there when cards appeared we eliminated everyone in the house as a suspect)
that winter I was sitting in a chair with my oldest who was maybe 4 at the time watching downhill skiing (not a regular occurance either at the time we had an antanae and 3 channels). I said "I wonder how they score this stuff?" and my 4 year old proceeded to school me on all the fine points of downhill racing, he explained the whole sport and it turned out he had hit every point head on.
I asked him who told him so much about skiing and he said "the judge tells me" the judge was a very old man who would look in on him after he turned in and would tell him things.
at no time was any evil vibe felt or exhibited
I know holes can be easily knocked into this story and people will say well you just misinterpreted things and I myself am not particularly prone to this kind of stuff but it happened

[LuvNewcastle]

46. There are many, many examples of 'friendly' hauntings,

you just don't hear much about them because they aren't sensational like malevolent ghost stories are. I believe in the reality of spirits, although I'm not quite sure what they are. I won't go into any detail about my experiences with spirits on this board, but my experiences have been much more positive than negative.

One possibility I've considered is that spirit encounters are energy manifestations from other dimensions. They definitely, in my mind, are some form of energy. The brain processes the information given to it by the senses and interprets that info by way of how it's related. Whatever we're encountering might be totally different than how we perceive it, our brains are just limited by what our senses can pick up. That's my favorite theory, anyway, but it certainly doesn't explain all experiences like the one you had.

[mainer]

20. Weird. Tried to listen to the demon's voice and my computer froze!

Proof that it must be supernatural!

I can see how one's imagination can run wild. Too bad there's no video footage of the kid walking backwards up the wall, as witnessed by ER personnel.

[Violet_Crumble]

57. Same thing happened to me! And now my iphone just isn't the same anymore...

It was sitting near my laptop and I got a random text message saying 'STOP LAUGHING!'. But when I tried to take a screen-shot of it to send to the Daily Mail, it had mysteriously vanished.

Even more mysteriously, when I opened the fridge this morning to get the milk for my cuppa, all but a tiny bit of milk was gone and the bottle wasn't where I'd left it yesterday. I could blame my daughter, but I'm pretty sure it's demonic possession of my fridge at play here!

[mainer]

21. Another article in the Indianapolis Star

[jakeXT]

22. So he closed the gate....

[lapfog_1]

53. After seeing her in Alien

I could never buy her as "terrorized single female". I mean, wouldn't Ripley have just reached into the fridge and yanked the daemon out and kicked its ass?

[jakeXT]

59. I thought the daemon was miles away /nt

[Archae]

24. Like I said in the "Good Reads" about this whole story...

Total horseshit.

A crazy Mother, and her bratty kids acting up.
(Looks like crazy like a fox, she sold that run-down house for 3 times what it's worth.)

Combine that with idiot FTB's, and shitty British tabloid article.

[JaneyVee]

25. Good town slogan. Welcome to Gary, Indiana: The Portal to Hell

[LuvNewcastle]

47. I've heard that about Gary before.

[lapfog_1]

56. Welcome to Gary

"We aren't the asshole of the planet... but we are the cystic pimple on the left ass cheek!"

[csziggy]

60. What do you expect when this is it's song?

[NoGOPZone]

26. i could never grasp the difference between demons and random spirits

So I fear this article will go over my head

[Silent3]

28. Well, you do have to have a clairvoyant friend...

...in order to speak with great, self-assured authority on these matters.

[Archae]

27. "Amityville Horror" 2.0

Scam.

[RedstDem]

29. i've always wanted to levitate

you other demons will have to wait your turn.

[Chorophyll]

33. Oh look, a link from the Daily Fail UK.

When they're not doing hard-hitting journalism about the weight fluctuations of female celebrities, they fish up the stupidest dreck from the former colonies.

[etherealtruth]

35. 'This was obviously demons,' she said. 'Not just random spirits. There is a difference.'

[Walk away]

36. Why is it that all of the really crazy people are religious?

Just like "all republicans aren't racists but every racist that I have ever met is a republican" all of the nuts believe in hocus pocus.

[rdharma]

41. You skeptics can scoff.... but Bryan Fishcher knows better!

He used this reported incident in Gary, IN to "prove" that demons exist.

He also reported on Beyoncé's "demonic conversion".

[CBGLuthier]

44. shame all them ghosts is so camera shy

Mental illness is a shame too.

[Rex]

48. Why no video footage of the boy walking up the wall?

Or the women levitating? The demons were just camera shy?

[pnwmom]

51. Supposedly it happened in a hospital room with medical personnel as witnesses.

And it happened in seconds. Was one of them supposed to whip out a smart phone?

But yes, I want to think this whole story is a sick joke. And that the doctor who is named in it is a phantom, too.

[Rex]

71. Yes having a iphone handy could net someone millions of dollars

since nobody ever seems to be able to get live footage of any of these events. I don't know what they saw, I just have to remain skeptical about it without something as proof.

[pnwmom]

72. Don't worry, I'm a skeptic. This is just a better done piece than usual.

I can already see the movie . . maybe someone should buy up the rights!

[2pooped2pop]

78. wouldn't matter. The pictures all disapear

Haven't you been keeping up?

[Ghost in the Machine]

79. You wouldn't believe the number of times I've said "I wish I had my camera with me!"... never even

thinking about the 8 megapixel HD camera *and* video recorder on my phone. I've had cell phones since they were the big bulky things that looked like the old military units, but without the backpack.

Hell, I didn't even learn how to text until late 2009, early 2010.... guess it comes from my "old school" mindset: "phones were for talking on, if I want to send someone a message, that's what a computer and email or yahoo messenger was for".

Time changes things, and I can't imagine NOT being able to text someone now, but still forget about the camera a lot of times.

Peace,

Ghost

[Iggo]

49. I can't imagine a non-stupid person believing in this bullshit.

[pnwmom]

52. It's better done than usual. They give the name of a doctor who supposedly saw some of this. n/t

[Iggo]

66. Even so.

[rdharma]

50. Fred Astaire was also possessed by demons!

Here's the proof caught on film.......

[Teamster Jeff]

54. The entire town of Gary, Indiana is a portal to hell

[Cleita]

61. LOL!

Aw. It can't be that bad?

[yuiyoshida]

63. Wasn't there a TV series called...

Eerie Indiana? I never watched it...too weird for me.

[Warren DeMontague]

76. Portal to smell, maybe

seriously. The air quality? Not so good.

[Nye Bevan]

55. I would definitely sue the home inspector for not catching the "portal to hell" thing.

That's the kind of issue that you really want to know about prior to the closing.

[IDemo]

68. Maybe they can contact "This Old House" to have the problem taken care of

Those guys can do anything.

[Warren DeMontague]

77. Sometimes they can be fun!

[Quantess]

70. That is a PIT BULL ghost in the window!

No doubt about it. Can you imagine how terrible to be attacked by a pit bull ghost?!
