The Gary Indiana Demon Case

The case of Latoya Ammons and her three children in Gary, Indiana, gained attention because multiple officials, including police, child services workers, and hospital staff, witnessed events they considered unexplainable.

The Claims

The Ammons family reported classic signs of haunting and possession. Shadow figures, mysterious footprints, swarms of flies in winter, and the children exhibiting disturbing behavior including levitation, speaking in altered voices, and displaying impossible knowledge.

Official Witnesses

What set this case apart was official documentation. A DCS case manager filed a report describing a child walking backward up a wall and flipping to land on his feet. Hospital nurses documented a child speaking in a deep voice. Police officers reported phenomena in the home they could not explain.

The Investigation

Child Protective Services initially suspected the mother was harming her children. However, the phenomena witnessed by case workers caused them to reconsider. Medical professionals found nothing physically wrong with the children.

The Exorcism

The family sought help from a Catholic priest who performed exorcisms over several months. The activity reportedly ceased, and the family moved away from the home.

Assessment

This case is unusual because skeptical officials became witnesses. Their documented statements, made in official capacity, lend the case credibility that most possession claims lack.
