00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:08,300
They were dripping from
the middle of the blinds.

00:23:08,340 --> 00:23:10,340
There was some liquid material...

481
00:23:10,370 --> 00:23:13,340
...that had appeared
on some blinds in there,

482
00:23:13,370 --> 00:23:15,840
...and we had no source for that material.

483
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:17,540
We left the room.

484
00:23:17,580 --> 00:23:20,380
First, we photographed it
and documented it.

485
00:23:20,420 --> 00:23:22,580
And then I wiped down the blinds.

486
00:23:22,620 --> 00:23:23,980
And then we sealed the room,

487
00:23:24,020 --> 00:23:27,090
...and I thought, if the grandmother...

488
00:23:27,120 --> 00:23:29,360
...had went in there
and introduced the oil,

489
00:23:29,390 --> 00:23:32,790
I wanted to make sure that she
didn't go in the second time.

490
00:23:32,830 --> 00:23:34,190
So we stuck a Q-tip in the door,

491
00:23:34,230 --> 00:23:35,960
...at the bottom of the door,

492
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:37,546
...and then we came back
about 40 minutes later,

493
00:23:37,570 --> 00:23:39,206
...after Father Maginot
had blessed the house.

494
00:23:39,230 --> 00:23:40,900
And the Q-tip was still in the door.

495
00:23:40,940 --> 00:23:43,140
We went in, and the blinds
were dripping oil again.

Lieutenant Gruszka went outside,

497
00:23:45,140 --> 00:23:47,770
...and we shined flashlights
on the outside of the window...

498
00:23:47,810 --> 00:23:49,240
...to see if it was coming in...

499
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:50,980
...from the outside
or from the ceiling,

500
00:23:51,010 --> 00:23:54,110
...and we could never determine
the source of that.

00:23:57,020 --> 00:23:59,990

be the next to fall victim...

energy in this home.

503
00:24:02,990 --> 00:24:05,090
The CPS opened the cabinet,

504
00:24:05,130 --> 00:24:07,060
...and she took her left hand, I remember.

505
00:24:07,100 --> 00:24:08,530
She may be left-handed.

506
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:10,160
And she touched the dripping.

507
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:11,900
– The fluid...
– The fluid.

00:24:11,930 --> 00:24:13,770

And when she touched the fluid,

510
00:24:15,300 --> 00:24:17,370
...a whole half of her hand changed...

511
00:24:17,410 --> 00:24:19,510
...like all the blood had
been drawn out of it.

512
00:24:19,540 --> 00:24:20,570

00:24:20,610 --> 00:24:21,740

514
00:24:21,780 --> 00:24:23,580
It was just completely white.

515
00:24:23,610 --> 00:24:27,250
And she had to leave the house.

516
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,650
She had complained of pain in that,

517
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,190
...and it did turn white.

518
00:24:32,220 --> 00:24:33,950
I went on the investigation, like I said,

519
00:24:33,990 --> 00:24:36,920
...at the very beginning,
thinking that it was a hoax.

520
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:38,460
The more investigation we did,

521
00:24:38,490 --> 00:24:41,060
I believe that there's something there.

522
00:24:41,100 --> 00:24:42,660
There's just too many people...

523
00:24:42,700 --> 00:24:45,400
...that I know are truthful people...

some of them which I saw,

I was talking to the Child
Protective Services worker.

00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,440

to come back to life.

528
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:58,110
Okay.

529
00:24:58,150 --> 00:25:03,280
And Father Maginot came to
the front porch stairs outside,

530
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:06,520
...and he stood there, and he looked.

531
00:25:06,550 --> 00:25:08,450
I say, "Father, what's wrong?"

532
00:25:08,490 --> 00:25:12,760
And he looked exactly
like the CPS worker's hand.

533
00:25:12,790 --> 00:25:15,860
He was flush as a sheet of paper.

00:25:15,900 --> 00:25:17,660

00:25:17,700 --> 00:25:19,170
I said, "What's wrong?"

536

from Bishop Dale J. Melczek...

Latoya would later recount,

the spirit lift from her.

00:27:56,620 --> 00:27:58,560
...and who had owned it
for roughly a decade,

587
00:27:58,590 --> 00:28:01,690
...told local media that he was skeptical.

588
00:28:01,730 --> 00:28:03,260
"I thought I heard it all."

00:28:22,450 --> 00:28:24,466
They had all these reporters
out in front of my house,

598
00:28:24,490 --> 00:28:26,550
...and I refuse to
entertain something...

599

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

602
00:28:32,060 --> 00:28:34,230
To me, I've been here for two years,

603
00:28:34,260 --> 00:28:35,930
...and I hear the occasional creaks...

604
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:37,230
...and this and that,

605
00:28:37,270 --> 00:28:39,100

Whether the claims are real or false,

607
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,370
...I'd like to find out

I'm not here to fabricate nothing...

609

...or sensationalize on anything.

00:29:13,330 --> 00:29:15,470
...because they was at the story.

620
00:29:15,500 --> 00:29:16,800

621
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:18,140
And if I was able to...

622
00:29:18,170 --> 00:29:20,140
...man, I had it in the bag.

623
00:29:20,170 --> 00:29:22,640
What you're offering is peanuts, man.

624
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:26,250
They came out here, Deborah Norville,

625
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:28,250
...the other little lady,

626
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:29,520
...they was out there.

627
00:29:29,550 --> 00:29:31,450

the producer, man.

628
00:29:31,490 --> 00:29:34,950

629
00:29:34,990 --> 00:29:36,290

631
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:42,600

632
00:29:42,630 --> 00:29:46,930
...and by me not being
on a lease, I was done.

633
00:29:46,970 --> 00:29:48,170
I couldn't do nothing.

634
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:49,840
Yeah, have you seen things in here?

635
00:29:49,870 --> 00:29:51,400
Have you seen ghosts in here?

636
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:55,410
I'm not gonna tell you
that until we sit down...

637
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,340
...and we sit down and make an agreement.

638
00:29:57,380 --> 00:29:59,550
You know, it's a market for it.

639
00:29:59,580 --> 00:30:02,650
And I've seen the market, with the people...

640
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,690
But your fiancée said that
there's nothing in here.

641
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:07,920
Well, that's her story.

642
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:11,090
"Inside Edition"
also wanted to talk to me.

643
00:30:11,130 --> 00:30:12,430
But instead, I went to meet...

644
00:30:12,460 --> 00:30:14,660
...with the home's
original owners.

645
00:30:14,700 --> 00:30:17,730
There, I learned that other
members of the Ammons family...

646
00:30:17,770 --> 00:30:21,100
...also took issue with
the claims they were making.

647
00:30:21,140 --> 00:30:23,470
Charles has got me an article here,

648
00:30:23,500 --> 00:30:27,940
...and this was published February 5, 2014.

649
00:30:27,980 --> 00:30:31,940
It says the grandmother
of the possessed kids...

650
00:30:31,980 --> 00:30:34,510
...insists none of this went on.

651
00:30:34,550 --> 00:30:36,780
Could this be the other grandmother?

652
00:30:36,820 --> 00:30:37,780
I don't know.

653
00:30:37,820 --> 00:30:38,780
I read that...

654
00:30:38,820 --> 00:30:40,220
So Latoya Ammons,

655
00:30:40,250 --> 00:30:43,020
...her mother is the one
that lived in the house,

656
00:30:43,060 --> 00:30:45,020
...that witnessed all that stuff...

657
00:30:45,060 --> 00:30:46,990
...and did all the interviews...

658
00:30:47,030 --> 00:30:50,130
...stating that she saw
the kids being lifted up...

659
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,200
...and tons of other stuff.

660
00:30:52,230 --> 00:30:55,300
So now Latoya Ammons's step-mother,

661
00:30:55,340 --> 00:30:56,840
...which is a different woman:

662
00:30:56,870 --> 00:30:59,810
"My children, Latoya's
brother and sisters,"

663
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:02,810
"...are outraged," the step-mother told me.

664
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:04,840
They know the true story,
and they're upset...

665
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,750
...about the family's name
being dragged through the mud.

666
00:31:07,780 --> 00:31:10,820
"My family hoped this would all blow over."

667
00:31:10,850 --> 00:31:12,620
"It has not."

668
00:31:12,650 --> 00:31:13,620
Wow.

669
00:31:13,650 --> 00:31:15,150
Wow.

670
00:31:17,020 --> 00:31:20,190
Also, a photo leaked
online of a ghostly figure...

671
00:31:20,230 --> 00:31:22,260
...in one of the house's windows.

672
00:31:22,300 --> 00:31:27,770
But this was almost definitely
faked using a cell phone app.

673
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,700
On top of this,
I had the house inspected,

674
00:31:30,740 --> 00:31:32,940
...and the inspector found
mold and other things...

675
00:31:32,970 --> 00:31:35,370
...that could have had
a psychological effect...

676
00:31:35,410 --> 00:31:36,910
...on the residents.

677
00:31:36,940 --> 00:31:39,780
So what does the house contain?

678
00:31:39,810 --> 00:31:42,620
Asbestos, black mold, everything?

679
00:32:02,740 --> 00:32:07,270
Can that make you feel dizzy or euphoric?

680
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:10,386
And then you have to think about, too,

681
00:32:10,410 --> 00:32:11,780
...if any of those elements...

682
00:32:11,810 --> 00:32:16,480
...would affect the human
mind or the body...

683
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:18,580
...to perceive those side effects...

684
00:32:18,620 --> 00:32:23,190
...as paranormal-induced type...

685
00:32:23,220 --> 00:32:26,490
...euphoria and spirit energy.

686
00:32:26,530 --> 00:32:32,470
So it's something to
take into consideration.

687
00:32:32,500 --> 00:32:34,300
I was starting to think this may be...

688
00:32:34,340 --> 00:32:37,070
...an overblown case
of mass hysteria...

689
00:32:37,100 --> 00:32:39,810
...or that there was some other
normal explanation...

690
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,980
...that was now being turned
into a money grab.

691
00:32:43,010 --> 00:32:46,510
But then, with my own investigation,

692
00:32:46,550 --> 00:32:48,580
...shit got crazy.

693
00:32:50,790 --> 00:32:52,850
One day, when we're filming at the house,

694
00:32:52,890 --> 00:32:54,190
...a woman drives by...

695
00:32:54,220 --> 00:32:57,060
...and says she used to
live there in the '90s.

696
00:32:57,090 --> 00:32:58,390
You got my audio, Jay?

697
00:32:58,430 --> 00:33:01,430
Check, check, you got it?

698
00:33:01,460 --> 00:33:03,530
Did you used to live in here?

699
00:33:06,130 --> 00:33:07,830
So you used to live here, how many years?

700
00:33:07,870 --> 00:33:10,300
Just stayed, like,
four or five years.

701
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:16,380
Did you all hear about
what's been going on in here?

702
00:33:16,410 --> 00:33:17,710
Yes.

703
00:33:17,750 --> 00:33:19,210
You guys have all heard about it?

704
00:33:19,250 --> 00:33:20,356
Has your mom been telling you about it?

705
00:33:20,380 --> 00:33:22,620
I saw on Facebook.

706
00:33:22,650 --> 00:33:24,250
Yeah, a lot of stuff happened here.

707
00:33:24,290 --> 00:33:27,650
If the claims are true about
the demons being in here,

708
00:33:27,690 --> 00:33:29,066
I just want to make sure it's okay...

709
00:33:29,090 --> 00:33:30,620
...for them to be in here,

00:42:03,100 --> 00:42:07,340
Do you still feel what
you witnessed that day...

894
00:42:07,370 --> 00:42:11,080
...was beyond the capabilities
of a 9-year-old boy?

895
00:42:11,110 --> 00:42:15,310
I'm positive in regards to that matter.

896
00:42:15,350 --> 00:42:17,580
Sometimes, even thinking about it again,

897
00:42:17,620 --> 00:42:19,120
...it kind of just throws me back...

898
00:42:19,150 --> 00:42:24,060
...into a series where
I don't want to go back to.

899

00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:34,570
...before my eyes,

902
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:39,370
...he could not remember doing
it five minutes afterwards,

903
00:42:39,410 --> 00:42:41,010
...after he was questioned about it,

904
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:43,610
...after they asked
him questions about it.

905
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:45,080
Child couldn't remember.

906
00:42:45,110 --> 00:42:47,010
He looked at us like,
what are we talking about?

907
00:42:47,050 --> 00:42:48,780
He didn't even understand the question...

908
00:42:48,820 --> 00:42:50,350
...that we were asking him.

909
00:42:50,380 --> 00:42:54,850
And the fact that myself
and the psychiatrist...

910
00:42:54,890 --> 00:42:58,290
...witnessed this, along with the family.

911
00:42:58,330 --> 00:43:00,190
We had no words to explain it,

912
00:43:00,230 --> 00:43:03,030

family was possessed...

...by these demons?

something going on there...

of a normal living person.

926
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:36,800

a lot had changed...

927
00:43:36,830 --> 00:43:42,130
...as far as me trying to do
my daily routine work.

928
00:43:42,170 --> 00:43:44,270
I worked as a child fatality worker.

929
00:43:44,300 --> 00:43:47,010

930

...burned, beaten.

932
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:54,450
But after that, it was just...

933
00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:58,280
It was traumatic.

934
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:00,020

experience for me...

00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:10,030
...and that I did need to
go and seek some help.

939

went to that home,

feed it as if you're scared,

947

00:44:59,210 --> 00:45:00,880
The day before Father Maginot...

949
00:45:00,910 --> 00:45:03,850
...was going to perform
the second exorcism on Latoya,

950
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:07,250
...he experienced what he
describes as an attack...

951
00:45:07,290 --> 00:45:08,790
...while on a bike ride.

952
00:45:08,820 --> 00:45:11,390
As I was riding through the neighborhood,

953
00:45:11,420 --> 00:45:14,990
...anyone who looks up
to me is staring at me...

954
00:45:15,030 --> 00:45:16,330
...with a puzzled look,

955
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:18,830
...like, "What in the world is riding by?"

956
00:45:18,870 --> 00:45:20,230
And so that was happening...

957
00:45:20,270 --> 00:45:22,300
...all the way to the end of the path.

958
00:45:22,340 --> 00:45:24,770
And all of a sudden,
I'm on the side of the path,

959
00:45:24,810 --> 00:45:27,010
...thrown down.

960

How did that happen?

961
00:45:28,340 --> 00:45:29,740
Then I looked at my bicycle seat,

962
00:45:29,780 --> 00:45:32,140
...and it was 45 degrees off.

963
00:45:54,500 --> 00:45:57,340

964

in the emergency room.

967
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:05,280
I exited a restaurant.

Everybody came out the restaurant.

981
00:46:30,500 --> 00:46:32,240
They was hollering and screaming.

982

me to Methodist South...

for NASA for 32 years.

1423
01:07:30,630 --> 01:07:32,760
Really increased the
luminosity just a little bit,

1424
01:07:32,800 --> 01:07:35,900
...just to see some of the
other detail on the object.

1425
01:07:35,930 --> 01:07:40,070
Prior to that, we can see
that it's different intensities.

1426
01:07:40,110 --> 01:07:42,110
There's not the same intensity.

1427
01:07:42,140 --> 01:07:45,140

or something like that...

1428
01:07:45,180 --> 01:07:46,280

1429

the cameraman's hand.

of the cameraman back here.
