There are stories that are just too good to be true. Reports about aliens and their spaceships belong. The unidentified flying objects are always times rediscovered and photographed in the sky, but usually only by one person.

And the vows then when the mother's life, that it was certainly no light reflection, but without doubt of his own vision of a visitor from a distant galaxy.

But are also very popular sightings of long-dead stars such as Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe and James Dean, which are believed to have been very much alive in Las Vegas, either individually or together, seen.

As with Stephen King - but true?

One may believe these adventurous tales or not. Scientific evidence, at least they do not keep standing. This also applies to reports that come straight out of the American Indiana. A story that horror expert Stephen King could hardly have been better write it down. This involves not less than 200 demons and the devil, which should have taken a home and a mother with her three children in possession.

Hard to believe it could be said again. But this time it's different than King. Because for the unexplainable, there are apparently several witnesses: a long-serving police officer, a priest and two employees in the social security office.

Whether the story but also really true, as the four say along with the the devil tormented mother? This judgment must be left to itself any. The prestigious and reputable newspaper "Indianapolis Star" it is at least a more diverse and much-publicized report worth .

Steps, a shadow, a footprint

The Incredible incident begins in November 2011. At that time, Latoya Ammons relates with their three children in what was then aged seven, nine and twelve years old and her mother Rosa Campbell a house in Gary (Indiana). 

The simple, white-painted house with three bedrooms located on any posh address and Gary, 40 minutes south of Chicago, has been one of the most dangerous cities in the country.

But the crime is not the problem of Ammon. Shortly after moving in, they have the feeling that the house is something wrong. On the disks of the porch about cavort thousands of flies. "It was winter and freezing cold," says Latoya Ammons.

A few weeks later wants middle of the night "Steps in the house" to hear that they can not explain the 32-year-old. The fact that the "door squeaks," she initially found not unusual. 

Only "a human shadow," which she claims to have seen at night, and the "wet footprint in the living room the next morning," they make you nervous. However, she makes everything even an explanation.

Grandma sees the girls float

This changes only on the night of 10 March 2012. At about two in the morning clock is the grandmother of the family, Rosa Campbell, awakened by a terrible loud cry of her granddaughter. 

When she is with her daughter in the room with twelve year old, she can not believe her eyes. The girl, so tell the two women consistently, "hovered for several minutes above her bed" - as in the famous scene of the movie "The Exorcist" from 1973.

"I thought, what's going on. Why does this happen," Campbell later told the "Indianapolis Star". Only when the two women kneel and pray, the girl falls back into bed. The mother reported that after the "demons had taken possession of their children." "The three of them were bulging eyeballs, they had this devil's smile and her voice scared me."

Ammons immediately tried to get help to the police, the youth welfare office. But no one takes them seriously. She goes to a fortune teller who claims that "the house occupied by 200 demons" was. 

She advises deterrence of Satan, the "hands and feet of children with oil Brush" and "to paint a front cross" them to. In addition, they should "build an altar basement, with a white candle and statues of Mary, Joseph and Jesus" in the.

A doctor is the first witness

But we can not help the panacea of ​​the fortune teller. On the contrary. In April 2012, as alleged Ammons, "floats her seven year old son out of the bathroom and meets with the feet, the twelve year-old daughter." It is so badly injured that they must be sewn in a clinic on the head.

The doctor, Geoffrey Onyeukwu told the girl that "they hear voices." These would tell her that she "would never see her family again." When finally her seven year old brother then screams wildly to get strikes and must be held by a total of five adult males, get yourself to do it with the fear of the doctor.

"I have such demonic screams never experienced," says Onyeukwu. He gives the incident further to the Youth Welfare Office, which initiates an investigation. The Authority believes that the mother neglected her children only.

 Later, she even loses custody for six months because of Ammon they no longer send you to school.

During the investigation by the youth welfare office it comes to the next incident. According to the report of the social worker Valerie Washington is to the "seven-year-old boy they have like a wolf growled and showed his teeth." 

Then he had his older brother, 9, packed up and yelled in, "a voice that was not his own," "It's time to die I'll kill you.". When his brother can fend off the attack, he turns to the grandmother.

The boy, up backwards through the wall

What happens then, sounds outrageous: The smaller boy, as reported by Grandma Campbell, is "backward ramped up the wall and landed back on the ground after a Salto from the ceiling." Washington and a nurse who is in the room, confirm the incident. The youth welfare office then alerted the police.

Together with Ammons and Campbell examines Charles Austin, a seasoned police officer with 20 years of professional experience, the house in Gary. "I now believe in ghosts and demons," Austin says later. But what had happened?

 According to the "Indianapolis Star" is Austin's recording device should have stopped for no apparent reason. When the policeman wants to listen to the tape later, he hears a strange voice. And she whispers just one word: ". Hey"

But even worse are the photos that makes Austin. When he looks at them later, he discovered on a "a blurry human face".

 On another, he wants the "outlines of a woman" and see the window is something he later called a "spirit". "I will never enter this house again," says Austin. Police photos are circulating currently hotly debated in the network .

The children are meanwhile investigated further. The chaplain of the hospital proposes a "exorcism" at the three and also in the mother. The pastor Mike Maginot it performs later. 

And miraculously, all the problems then disappeared. The Youth Welfare Office is Ammons back the children and supports them in moving to another house in Indiana.

Always new videos emerge

A horror story with a happy ending? Long makes things headlines worldwide, there always new evidence for the "House of Horrors" on. 

The British "Daily Mail" about advertises on its website "exclusive" video and audio files that are to witness the eerie events in the Ammons family.

In Indiana itself, however, does not believe any of the stories. A doctor who examined the mother, is convinced that Latoya Ammons was suffering from delusions. She had hallucinations, and only fancy themselves "to see demons".

Another social worker who sees the children later, thinks that the two boys and the girls "had been acting" for the mother. And the owner of the house in Gary, Charles Reed, does not understand the whole thing. "I've never had problems with the house," he says.

Only when the Ammons are fed, there was trouble. But now everything was quiet again. "The new tenants," says Reed, "have not yet complained about demons."
