Haunting in Indiana: Demons, Exorcism, Levitation

[Doc]

Haunting in Indiana leads to family’s exorcism, child’s levitation: Reports Chilling reports taken from the residents of a Gary, Ind., home recount a haunting that involved a 12-year-old girl levitating over her bed and a 9-year-old boy walking on a hospital ceiling. Astonishingly, the family's recollections are backed by not only a local police official but also by medical personnel.

"A Gary, Ind., mother of three claims demons caused her 12-year-old daughter to levitate and her 9-year-old son to walk on a hospital ceiling — accounts supported by medical personnel and police officials, according to a shocking report. For Latoya Ammons, the late night footsteps, the creaking of a door and wet footprints left by a shadowy male figure through her living room were child’s play when that was all her family had to endure.

But then things turned violent.

It was March 10, 2012 — four months after her family moved into a three-bedroom rental — that Ammons’ saw her daughter floating above her bed, the Indy Star reports.


It was first a scream that alerted her grandmother, Rosa Campbell, to the girl’s bedroom at about 2 a.m. that night.

“I thought, ‘What’s going on?’” Campbell recalled to the Star. “‘Why is this happening?’” When the girl fell back onto the bed, she gained consciousness but said she had no memory of what had happened.


Two clairvoyants told them the house was filled with more than 200 demons. The family’s church recommended pouring olive oil on Ammons’ children’s hands and feet, with smeared crosses along their foreheads, as a form of protection.

I would like to see more information from the witnesses, perhaps more will develop.

Same here. I would very much like to hear witness reports from staff and responders.

Bill O'Reilly mentioned this story tonight on his show, seems he's curious about this as well.

Too late now as I think that family moved. Other wise they may have given this chap a try. . .

I wonder if he accepts PayPal...lol

Dial a demon eh ? I'd rather use a credit card and get air miles.

Additionally, Zak Bagens of the Ghost Adventures Travel Channel program has purchased the house for $35,000. He intends to move in and study the house for a time. He's heavily equipped with gadgets but he may be biting off more than he can chew. And secondly, perhaps it's the boy that's affected and the home is clear and unaffected.

Had it not been independently witnessed by the Social Services person and a priest I'd question this a good deal more but these were strangers that witnessed something exceptional and a lot more to loose than gain by lying.
I'll be interested in how this developes.

Must admit, I'd pay a dollar to witness this phenomena.

I'm starting to get some respect for Zak Bagens and his crew. They are a little less than rigorous in their science but Zak will jump right into the middle of things I would stand back a few steps from. His approach some of the nastier-looking stuff is something like "confront the hell out of it and see what happens". If there is anything still in that house, he will go after it bigtime.

Geez isn’t Zak the fella who did the investigation of Loretta Lynn’s plantation mansion for ghosts.

I laughed thru that whole episode especially when he was flirting with Loretta Lynn’s granddaughter. It is just hard for me to take any of the so called experts with TV programs seriously concerning the paranormal.

I do admit they are entertaining.

I do like some of the gadgets he carries around with him though. I am tempted to buy a few. I think I would bring it into the acute psych units to see what happens.:yikes:

I don't think any of the TV ghost busters do anything like a scientific approach. When they try to explain the "why" of anything there is never a link between theory and method that would result in measurable results or a testable hypothesis. So, entertainment value is about the only reason to watch.

... or to confirm experiences. I have seen things similar to what is on these shows. Do I have my doubts at times? Sure, but some of their findings are spot on. The spiritual world has fascinated humans since the beginning of time, perhaps this unseen universe is the missing link in scientific equations.

I think Zak is one of the Ghost Hunters that I really enjoy watching. His team suffered various secondary problems from their confrontational encounters following them home. (to be expected)
