Police photograph DEMON in basement | The Ammons haunting

there is a house in gary indiana that has been dubbed the demon house now if you were to walk past this house on the street it wouldn't stand out to you it's very modest single-story three-bedroom home looks like all the other houses around it but the history behind this house is totally bizarre latoya ammons who is a mother of three that lived inside of this house with her three kids she began to report to the police that demons were throwing her children against the wall now when police got the report that children are being thrown against the wall their first thought is you're an unfit parent and so they sent child protective services and the police to go check out this residence and make sure that she really was a competent parent they are shocked at what they find and what they find is documented in a police report and courtesy of the executive producer of 317 films christopher geizot i have a copy of said police report and when i read through this thing for the first time i literally wrote him an email and said this is fake there's no way this is an actual police report and he said no that's real it's from the lake county sheriff's department it is the official police report and it's just it's mind-blowing today i'm gonna tell the story of what happened when the police got involved and i'm just going to use information that was in the police report but before we get into today's crazy story if you're a fan of the strange dark and mysterious delivered in story format then you come to the right channel because that's all i do and i upload three to four even five times every week and so if you're interested in that i would encourage you to gently take the like button out for a nice seafood dinner and never call it again that's so weird and also sub to my channel and turn on all notifications so you don't miss any of my weekly uploads all right let's get into the story after numerous reports that latoya ammons was mistreating her children based on reports that she gave she was telling police that demons were throwing her kids around the house based on those reports child protective services was sent to do a home study to go to their house go to latoya ammon's house and make sure it was a safe clean place for children to be living in addition to the case manager her name was valerie washington who was going to be going over to do this home study the lake county sheriff's department also sent over lieutenant gruska who would be assisting valerie and watching the home study take place when gruska arrives at the house he is met with valerie washington also latoya ammons the mother and her two sons andrew who's nine and amante who's seven as well as latoya's mother so the boy's grandmother her name was rosa washington the case manager pulls gruska aside out of earshot of latoya and her family and she starts telling gruska about what happened at the hospital eight days earlier because she the case manager had already begun investigating latoya ammons and that whole situation with her kids eight days earlier washington was at the hospital sitting in a waiting room washington was with a psychologist and they were speaking to rosa who was the grandmother of these children in the room was also andrew the oldest son and amante the youngest son and as they're chatting amante the youngest son stands up and walks to the middle of the waiting room and his eyes roll back into his skull and he begins emitting this growling sound that sounded too deep for a boy of seven years old the grandmother reacted to it like she had seen it before she got right up she marched over to him and she took him by the hands and she yelled you are not you and she kept saying that and the boy's eyes are still back in his head and he's not responding to anything his grandmother's saying as rosa is repeating over and over again you are not you amante begins backpedaling towards a wall behind him and rosa holds his hands the whole time she's holding his hands firmly he gets to the wall and instead of stopping he puts his foot up against the wall this is a seven-year-old boy and begins walking up the wall by pressing against rosa and she's holding on tight and he's pressing back at her and using that weight to walk backwards up the wall the psychologist in washington are just watching in disbelief rosa's holding on to him as he walks all the way up to where he's on his tippy toes on the wall and then he flips forward in front of her and lands on his feet on the other side of rosa the psychologist in washington literally run out of the room and they go get a doctor and they explain what happened the doctor comes in not having any clue what to make of this and just says to the boy can you do that again and amante at this point his eyes are back to normal and he's sitting now next to rosa and he says what i didn't do anything and acted like he had not been walking up the walls now it's not in the report how lieutenant gruska responds to washington's story about the hospital however the entire police report that i'm pulling all this information from is written by lieutenant gruska at the end of the investigation so this exchange between he and the case manager washington about the hospital visit that he was not part of it apparently carried weight in the entire investigation that he felt compelled to add it into the report even though on paper you would think if you're doing a home study for this house why would you incorporate something that didn't have anything to do with the house it gives you maybe an insight into lieutenant grueska although his language remains super professional and very pragmatic that perhaps lieutenant gruska at the end of this investigation was starting to think this might be paranormal after this story two more police officers show up to the house to assist with this home study one was brian miller and the other was charles austin at this point the three officers gruska miller and austin along with the case manager washington begin walking towards the family and towards the front door of the house latoya says that she and her kids will not go back in the house because they had moved out very recently because of the strangeness that they claim was happening inside of the house they felt like they were under attack by demons and so the police they needed someone to bring them in and so rosa the grandmother latoya's mother she offered to go in with them so the house is a single story three-bedroom house you walk in and you're inside of the screened-in porch you go into the main level there's a few bedrooms and then there's a stairwell that leads down into the basement and so they go in and lieutenant gruska is in charge of taking pictures and recording audio the whole time they're in the house they were not aware that they had already moved out so it's a bit of an awkward home study because they're not even living there anymore but either way they're going to do their job they're walking around taking pictures of each of the bedrooms there's three bedrooms there's a kitchen basic stuff upstairs and then they go downstairs to the basement now the basement was where latoya and her family claimed the majority of the paranormal activity was taking place the steps leading down to the basement were wood they went down into the basement the basement floor was concrete and the walls were concrete blocks as they go down lieutenant gruska would notice that there were candles that had been placed all over the basement floor that had burned down to their wick there was also an altar and a nativity scene that had been placed near the underside of the stairs and so when gruska goes over to take pictures of the altar and the nativity scene he recognizes that under the stairs near where those two things are placed it's all dirt the concrete that made up the floor of the basement had been broken away and there was jagged pieces of concrete where there should have been a continuous flow of concrete underneath the steps it had been snapped up and broken away it was gone when rosa was questioned about the strangeness of the basement with all the candles and the altar she just said that there's a presence down here and that's all she was able to articulate the other officers and the case manager and rosa they go back upstairs and lieutenant gruska and charles austin the other officer they stay in the basement and take a few extra pictures a couple more underneath the stairs and just up the candles before they ultimately go upstairs as well when gruska comes upstairs rose is waiting for him and she's about to turn the light off leading down into the basement and she asked him did you get any pictures underneath the stairs and he said yeah yeah i did i stayed down there and took some more pictures she looks at him and she says sometimes at night when we're sleeping on the main floor we'll hear commotion in the basement it sounds like maybe someone bumping on the underside of the stairs and then you hear footsteps walking up the wood steps and whatever it is stops on the other side of the door leading into the main floor and it will stay there for hours we're too scared to open the door to look ghruska goes back to his office and he immediately uploads the pictures that he took with a focus on the ones he took in the basement and he finds that there is a couple pictures he took under the stairs that in the right hand corner of the picture just behind one of the steps it's partially obscured is a white mist or a white cloud and he zooms in on it and he brings in other officers and they look at it and if you zoom in close enough it looks like a man's face as they're zoomed in on this mist underneath the stairs they can see only because they've zoomed in that there appears to be a faint green mist on the left side of the picture appears to be a woman's face gruska and austin who are the only two in the basement at the time of these pictures taken swear they did not see a white or green mist under the stairs when they took pictures kruska again it doesn't say in the report how he's feeling but you can imagine he's starting to feel a little bit uneasy about what he's witnessing gruska just goes to his audio recording and so he fast forwards to the section where he and austin are alone in the basement taking these additional photos and you can clearly hear on the recording gruska and austin talking to each other as they're taking these pictures at some point as they're taking these pictures of the basement a third voice not austin not gruska say directly into the audio recorder hey the audio recorder was one that gruska was used to using and it had never malfunctioned before and he and austin were the only ones down there and so they couldn't explain where the third voice was coming from and neither could any of the other officers who listened to it on april 30th gruska set up a meeting with latoya ammon's priest who she was very close with they were regular churchgoers this priest his name was father maginot he had been at the ammons residence five days before this home visit was done when latoya ammons and her family was still living in that residence and so gruska went to interview him to get a sense of what it was like when they were still living there father maginot said he was there because latoya had reached out and said i don't know what to do because she's claiming there are demons here and while they're sitting in the living room on the main floor father maginot was telling gruska that the bathroom light started flickering on and off and so it was distracting enough that ultimately father maginot got up and walked over to the bathroom and as soon as he went inside the flickering stopped and then he'd go back down and sit down and it would start again repeatedly father maginot would get up when it was flickering he would go in and it would stop he'd come back and it would start flickering again so while this is happening and father imagine i was going back and forth to the bathroom trying to figure out why the light is flickering latoya points out that a liquid is forming on one of the window blinds in the room that they were all sitting in there was this oily liquid substance that was just kind of trickling down the window blinds and father maginot walks over and looks at it they're all looking at it and there's no leak in the ceiling there's no source for this liquid and it hadn't been there before at least that's what latoya ammons and her family is saying that that's not from us we don't know what that is as they're looking at this oily substance on the blinds the cord that controls the blind itself starts swaying back and forth and everyone's startled as they're looking at it because there's no draft in the room the window's not open there's no reason it should be swaying while they're looking at this cord father maginot looks down and sees this huge footprint in the carpet near where they're standing that was too big to be his and nobody else in the house had a footprint that was that big at this point father maginot doesn't think it's safe for the family to be there and advises her to leave and this would actually be the episode that prompts latoya ammons and her family to leave the house and not come back on may 10th lieutenant gruska a new child protective services case manager and a host of police officers go back to the ammons resident the ammons residence has been unoccupied with all utilities shut off locked and sealed since the last time they were there which was on april 27th so it's a two-week period that no one has been in the house but there was a customary follow-up to this house they had to as part of the home study when lieutenant gruska arrives at the property outside his father maginot as well as latoya ammons her mother rosa latoya's two sons andrew and amante as well as a host of police officers there's a canine unit that's there although it's not said explicitly in the report it would appear that the reason there's all this additional police presence in a canine unit is because there's enough weirdness being reported about the house there could be you know a home invasion situation happening that somebody else is living in this house any number of things could be happening but they can't write off all of the strange testimony about what's happening in the house so before they go in for this second home study they have one of the dogs from the k9 unit go into the property and search the property for intruders just in case this was a home invasion or something like that they wanted to just check the box so they send the dog in the dog comes out hasn't found anything unusual and so the police along with father imagino the case manager and rosa they go back into the house the main level looked untouched there was nothing strange happening in the main level when they walked around nothing was disturbed it looked like no one had been here in two weeks so they opened the door to the basement they turn on the light and a couple weird things happen right away one they noticed that on the steps on the wooden steps leading into the basement there is an oily substance with no clear origin that goes all the way down the steps snakes around the side and disappears underneath the stairs as they begin walking down the stairs the case manager from child protective services happens to touch a cabinet that had been built into the walls along the stairwell leading down into the basement and immediately she pulls her hand back she grabs her pinky and she reacts like something had hurt her and they asked hey what's going on and she's like i don't know i just touched the cabinet and my hand now hurts my pinky hurts it's tingling and it apparently had turned white we don't have any images to show that but her pinky basically had been wounded just from touching this cabinet and so the officers go down into the basement they follow this oily trail that goes back under the stairs and they're thinking to themselves all the utilities have been turned off there's no reason there should be any water down here not to mention there's no origin for this oily substance and no one's been in the house for the past two weeks so we can't even account for this by saying that one of the family members might have spilled something and so even though it's not written into the report that they were scared or that they were considering this could be beyond rational explanation it's clear from what happens next that everybody there was ready to explore the idea that something was happening underneath the steps because now the families claim there's been something crawling out of there and walking up the stairs at night you have the strange oily substance coming from the underside of the stairs you have the white and the green apparition inside of the pictures father imagino suggested that if there was some sort of demonic possession happening in the house that there's a good chance they would find things underneath the steps that were tied to the family and so they decide they're going to dig up the dirt underneath the steps and so gruzka begins digging into this this dirt patch under the steps and he makes it about two feet down and he finds a press-on pink fingernail he also finds women's underwear and as he keeps digging he finds a political pin like for your t-shirt he also finds the lid to one of the cooking pots from upstairs he continues to dig and he finds some trash and miscellaneous papers and it dawns on the group that someone or something is leaving the basement going into the main section of the house taking things from the family going back downstairs going underneath the steps and burying them and probably has been for some time and so at some point they stopped being able to dig any farther the soil was too hard so they put the soil back and decide to leave the house as they're leaving the house rosa is the last one to leave and she actually says hey come over here and she's standing in that screened-in porch and she's looking up at the the window blinds on the window blinds in the house is that same or it appeared to be the same oily substance trickling down the blinds that match the description of what father maginot had said he had seen when he was visiting the family before and saw a liquid coming down the blinds and so the officers reacted to this by saying rosa did you do this are you responsible for putting this liquid on the blinds and she said no there was no clear source for this liquid there was no leak there was nothing and so lieutenant rusko wipes the liquid off of the blinds and tells everyone to leave the house for 25 minutes they waited and then they went back inside to see if there was going to be liquid there and there was then father maginot would say that after that first time he was there and he saw the liquid dripping down he did some research and it's very common over the history of time that if there's any sort of demonic possession in a house that liquids will ooze from different areas in the house and it's this oily substance that matches the description of what they just saw at this point lieutenant gruska and the police tell everyone to vacate the premise they lock it up and they leave and that is the end of the police report although not included in this police report where i pulled all of the story from charles austin who was the other officer who was in the basement with lieutenant grusco when they were taking pictures underneath the steps and they heard that voice on the recorder well charles austin actually worked for another police department the hammond police department and he took some pictures of the outside of this house during the time that no one was staying at the house and one of the official police pictures shows a shadowy figure standing in the screened-in porch of this house right near where that liquid was dripping down the blinds in 2014 zach bagans who's a popular paranormal investigator he hosts the show ghost adventures he purchased the demon house and filmed a documentary that he called the demon house and you can check that out for yourself and he demolished the house in 2016. so i'd love to get your opinion on this story because i told it based on information that was available in official police documentation now that doesn't mean that it was paranormal that this house was haunted that there were demons there but it at least makes you wonder what was really happening in that house if you enjoyed this story then please if
