Demon House Page #3

Reverend Maginot gets approval

to perform a minor rite

on the mother, Latoya Ammons.

You basically want to try

to either aggravate the demon

or abate it.

But if it's consistent,

okay, you're not really

affecting the demon,

and you may be

endangering the person.

Behold the cross of the Lord.

Flee bands of enemies.

May you be snatched away

and driven

from the church of God

and from the souls redeemed

by the precious blood

of the Divine Lamb.

I saw she had an aversion

to holy objects.

I put the crucifix on her head.

She began convulsing.

I took it off;

she stopped convulsing.

And then I did it

a second time.

Again, watching,

it's consistent.

And did it a third time.

Father Maginot sat

on the couch with a Bible,

some holy water,

and some salt.

And he was reading the Bible.

He was just intense.

He was really reading.

While Reverend Maginot

tends to Latoya,

the three police officers

who are present

begin digging in the basement,

under the stairs.

We were digging, whatever.

He had dug about 4 feet.

The officer?

Right.

And he found a nail,

a finger nail, a clip-on nail.

I think it was pink in color.

A nail?

Right, right,

a finger nail, a clip-on nail.

And he found some panties.

Panties?

Women's panties,

women's underwear.

Also dug up that day:

a comb, two children's socks,

a heavy bar, and a red tin.

So who buried these objects

under the stairs?

And why?

Do you believe that

that house was haunted

before Latoya and her family

moved in?

If those items were there

from that original family,

it could be.

Now, I think it would be

what you would call

"necromancy,"

which is trying to communicate

with the dead.

We only assumed,

because we had no expertise,

that this was a portal to Hell.

Upstairs,

something begins to happen

in the center bedroom.

We went in the center bedroom

on the first floor,

and the blinds

were dripping oil.

In fact, they weren't dripping

from the top,

as you would expect.

They were dripping

from the middle of the blinds.

There was

some liquid material

that had appeared

on some blinds in there,

and we had no source

for that material.

We left the room.

First, we photographed it

and documented it.

And then I wiped down

the blinds.

And then we sealed the room,

and I thought,

if the grandmother

had went in there

and introduced the oil,

I wanted to make sure that she

didn't go in the second time.

So we stuck a Q-tip

in the door,

at the bottom of the door,

and then we came back

about 40 minutes later,

after Father Maginot

had blessed the house.

And the Q-tip

was still in the door.

We went in, and the blinds

were dripping oil again.

Lieutenant Gruszka

went outside,

and we shined flashlights

on the outside of the window

to see if it was coming in

from the outside

or from the ceiling,

and we could never determine

the source of that.

This CPS worker would be

the next to fall victim

to the malevolent energy

in this home.

The CPS opened the cabinet,

and she took her left hand,

I remember.

She may be left-handed.

And she touched the dripping.

- The fluid...

- The fluid.

- That you'd been seeing.

- Right, right.

And when she touched

the fluid,

a whole half of her hand

changed

like all the blood

had been drawn out of it.

It went white?

White.

It was just completely white.

And she had to leave the house.

She had complained

of pain in that,

and it did turn white.

I went on the investigation,

like I said,

at the very beginning,

thinking that it was a hoax.

The more investigation we did,

I believe

that there's something there.

There's just too many people

that I know

are truthful people

that saw things,

some of them which I saw,

to discount everything.

I was talking to the Child

Protective Services worker.

Her hand was starting

to come back to life.

Okay.

And Father Maginot came to

the front porch stairs outside,

and he stood there,

and he looked.

I say, "Father, what's wrong?"

And he looked exactly

like the CPS worker's hand.

He was flush

as a sheet of paper.

And it was like...

I said, "What's wrong?"

And he said,

"The blinds are dripping."

With so many unrelated people

finding themselves entangled

in this demonic web,

Father Maginot is compelled

to help the Ammons.

Evidence in hand,

he requests permission

from Bishop Dale J. Melczek

to conduct

an official exorcism

on Latoya Ammons.

His request

is granted immediately.

I adjure you,

ancient serpent,

by the judge of the living

and the dead,

by your creator,

by Him who has the power

to consign you to Hell.

Latoya would later recount,

this was the moment she felt

the spirit lift from her.

[atmospheric vocal music]

The stories I had heard

about this haunting

were compelling,

but as I began

my own investigation,

there was just

one nagging question.

Was the whole thing a hoax?

In early 2014,

I get a call from the producer

of a very big horror film

from a few years ago.

He's threatening me because

he wants the film rights

to the Ammons story.

Due to privacy laws,

his identity

is disguised here.

[on phone]

Don't bully me around.

Do not call me

and threaten me.

Don't call me and tell me

that Mr. [bleep]

is this big-wig attorney

and I better listen

to what he's saying,

because you're

being documented

right now by myself,

listening to what appears

to be threats.

And I didn't want

to go this route.

[voiceover]

So Hollywood wants the rights,

which means there's money

in it for the major players,

from the Ammons family

to Father Maginot.

And now the Ammons,

who originated this story,

won't talk to me,

and they're apparently talking

about a movie deal.

Oh, she won't?

Okay.

Are they doing something else

with another movie producer?

Mm-hmm.

They are?

Charles Reed,

the home's original landlord

who I bought the house from

and who had owned it

for roughly a decade,

told local media

that he was skeptical.

"I thought I heard it all.

This was a new one to me.

My belief system

has a hard time

jumping over that bridge."

And the people who were

squatting in the house

when I bought it originally

told me they didn't experience

anything there.

You think it's

all about money?

Yeah, you want to know

the truth, yeah.

They had all these reporters

out in front of my house,

and I refuse

to entertain something

that I'm not seeing.

Mm-hmm.

So it's like, it's a lie.

To me, I've been here

for two years,

and I hear

the occasional creaks

and this and that,

but I'm thinking

the house is just old.

Whether the claims

are real or false,

I'd like to find out

whether they're real or false.

I'm not here

to fabricate nothing

or sensationalize on anything.

If people are making this up,

I'm gonna catch them.

Well, I'm telling you,

I haven't seen it.

You haven't seen any ghosts?

But as soon as I slipped her

fianc some money to leave,

suddenly he had

all kinds of crazy stories.
