The Demon House: Latoya Ammons’ Real Exorcism Battle Against 200 Demons | True Horror Story

Описание: What happens when darkness doesn’t just haunt a house… it claims a family?






In November 2011, Latoya Ammons moved her three young children into a quiet rental on Carolina Street in Gary, Indiana, hoping for a fresh start. Instead, they walked into what many call the most documented case of demonic possession in modern history: the infamous Demon House.


Black flies swarmed the porch in freezing winter. Footsteps climbed empty stairs at midnight. Children levitated, walked backward up walls in front of horrified witnesses, spoke in guttural voices no child should have, and convulsed with unnatural strength. A 9-year-old boy described his own murder to an unseen entity. Objects moved on their own. Shadows watched. And Latoya herself felt something ancient and malevolent coil inside her—weakness, shaking, heat from within—while the house slammed doors and dripped impossible oil in response.


Police investigated. DCS took emergency custody. A priest performed multiple exorcisms—three major rites authorized by the Diocese of Gary, including one in Latin—while estimating over 200 demons tormented the family. Officers guarded the rituals. Equipment failed. Photos captured silhouettes that weren’t there. Even skeptics became believers.


This is the true story behind the “Demon House” that Zak Bagans bought, filmed, and demolished for his 2018 documentary—the chilling real events that inspired Netflix’s The Deliverance and countless true horror discussions.


From black mold theories to full demonic infestation, we dive deep into the documented terror: witness statements, police reports, priest accounts, and the family’s fight to reclaim their lives. Listener discretion advised, this episode contains disturbing accounts of possession, child trauma, exorcisms, and unexplainable phenomena that may unsettle even the bravest souls.
