Demon House Page #6

I never seen that.

Something was wrong with her.

She wasn't Erica.

- She wasn't her?

- She was not Erica.

[atmospheric vocal music]

"The influence

sometimes surrounds

a young girl or woman.

When life is void to her,

the influence whispers

that it is her own fault

and that she is worthless

and should commit suicide.

Dear Sister,

do not believe it.

Satan was a liar

from the beginning."

Okay, then we'll

just have Erica and you

come sit right here, okay?

[ominous music]

Oh, water, creature of God,

I exorcise you in the name

of God the Father Almighty,

the name of Jesus Christ,

His Son, our Lord...

My daughter

was screaming at me.

Talking about,

"I can't stand you!

I can't stand you!"

Is this typical

of your daughter's behavior?

No.

I mean, it was strange.

You've never seen the rage

like this before ever?

No, it was strange.

It was like everybody

was trying to calm her down,

and she was just

snapping off.

Look down in pity on this,

your servant Erica,

now in the toils

of the unclean spirit,

now caught up

in the fearsome threats

of man's ancient enemy,

sworn full of our race.

Another weird thing

that happened when

we was at the hospital...

and I'm not making this up,

on everything I love...

my daughter was laying

in the bed.

And where Erica got up,

there was a "6," like,

engraved in her back.

So my daughter was like...

Wait, what?

A "6," like a number "6."

Was engraved in whose back?

It was in Erica's back.

"Mommy, Mommy, Erica got

a 6 on her back."

Do you remember

seeing this 6

that was carved in her back?

Yeah.

She was being all calm

and weird.

How was she being weird?

Because it wasn't her.

Like it was somebody else

in her stomach or something.

Do you know how this 6

got carved in her?

Mm-mm.

It was a number six.

Let us pray.

God, creator and defender

of the human race,

Who made man

in your own image,

Look down in pity on this,

your servant Erica...

[echoing] now in the toils

of the unclean spirit...

So it seemed like that

might have been the moment.

Of what?

The moment

that it might have...

- Left her?

- Left her.

So it seemed like it...

you know...

So I don't know

if that's what she does.

She doesn't remember that.

After news of Erica's

attempted suicide

hit the media,

my dear friend

Debby Constantino,

who'd been on my show

numerous times

with her husband, Mark,

saw the headlines

and began to try

to make contact

with the demon remotely.

After her attempt,

she called me

and told me that she believed

they had made contact

with a demon at the house.

The voice she captured is deep

and difficult to understand.

[garbled speech]

It almost sounds like it's

saying, "Something's wrong."

[garbled speech]

[tape rewinds]

Tragically, just a few months

after this recording was made,

Debby and her roommate

were murdered

in a double murder-suicide

at the hands of her husband.

This hit me hard.

I couldn't accept it.

I felt like I had lost

a member of my family.

I believe

that certain environments

can make demonic activity

more likely.

Poverty, high crime rates,

murders can all contribute.

Gary, Indiana,

unfortunately fits the bill,

with over a third

of its population

living below the poverty line

and one of the highest

murder rates in the country.

You guys ever heard gunshots

around your neighborhood,

around your house?

- Yes.

- Yes.

We live down there.

Do you know

where the house is,

where the drive-by was?

Yes, it's, like, right...

That green house right there.

A lot of the elderly

are getting robbed here,

and houses are getting

broken into.

We need to bring jobs back.

We need to get the schools

back open in Gary.

It hurts me to my heart.

The Ammons' old neighbor

told me

that a total

of five people died

while living in the house,

and one of those

was a little boy

that died in the back bedroom

downstairs in the basement.

It's the same bedroom

that Mika's murdered brother

had lived in.

I also had to consider that

someone close to the Ammonses

may have cursed the house

and invited the activity

on purpose.

Latoya Ammons's

former neighbor also told me

that her ex-boyfriend

may have been abusive.

Was he the one who had put

the altar under the stairs,

possibly trying to curse her?

I decided I would try

to confront him

to get some answers.

How far are we?

2.7 miles.

Oh, my God, my nerves

are just f***in'...

Our secret informant who's

been on surveillance over there

just called

and said that he's there.

And right now,

I'm really tense for this,

but happy.

So we'll see what happens.

I want to talk to him

and ask him

if he had anything to do

with putting a curse

on that family.

Even if he won't tell me,

I can still just get

a good sense

of his personality.

I'll get a sense of his energy,

to see if he would be

the type of person

that would be into the occult.

This is gonna be him?

Yeah,

that's gonna be him.

- Yeah, that's him?

- Yep.

[tape fast-forwarding]

[unintelligible chatter]

I told him

what this was all about.

Man, he just dropped his head.

He was like, "Man, I don't

want nothing to do with that.

I don't want to talk

about it."

He keeps repeating

that he wants nothing

to do with us.

Thank you.

It appears to be a dead end.

I invite Dr. Barry Taff,

who holds a doctorate

in psychophysiology,

a minor

in biomedical engineering,

and who's conducted

over 4,500 investigations,

including the famed

"Entity" case in 1974,

to help me try to decide

if high levels

of man-made electromagnetic

or earth-made

geomagnetic energy

could be causing

false positive

paranormal events

inside the house.

This is the frequency

counter here.

And we plugged it in,

and it showed 60 hertz fields

throughout the whole house,

higher than I would want.

But it wasn't that bad.

Then we come to this.

Dr. Taff, what is

the geomagnetometer?

What are we gonna measure

for here?

Are these natural

geomagnetic levels?

It measures the earth's

magnetic field, primarily.

Okay, so this,

we're not looking so much

as the house...

Right.

But what's under the house

in the ground.

Right, and coming up

from it.

Right.

High levels

of geomagnetic energy

could trick the brain

into thinking

there was paranormal activity

when there wasn't any.

This is very normal.

We're getting low 500s.

This is what I would expect.

You start getting

over 600, 700,

then you have a problem,

because it means

something is creating

this low-frequency

magnetic field.

And what is it?

What are your readings?

About normal.

Everything is normal here.

Took out the 60 hertz

calibrated field meter.

Then, a few feet

away from the wall,

about halfway up my body,

I started seeing, like,

a 1-hertz oscillation.

Look, look.

Yeah.

Why is it spiking here

like this?

Why is it doing that?

Don't know.

Huh.

We tested the walls.

It's not the wall, look.

Yeah.

Why is it...

I don't know.
