Demon House (2018)

Post by bunniefuu »

[skateboard rolling]

[spare piano music]

I'm Zak Bagans,

paranormal investigator.

For the past 13 years,

I've investigated

over 1,000 hauntings.

I have a series on

The Travel Channel in the U.S.

called "Ghost Adventures."

I'm one of the world's

leading researchers

on ghosts and demonology.

And this is the case

that really f*cked me up.

The story was huge.

It was the next Amityville.

And I went all out.

I had plenty of resources,

equipment, a great crew.

I thought I was

gonna crush this story.

But in the end,

nothing was as it seemed.

I fell ill and couldn't

leave my room for eight days.

I didn't feel like myself.

Crew members quit on the spot

or had to get fired.

Witnesses and experts

ended up in the hospital.

And at the heart of it all

was a little screwed-up house.

It took me three years

to finish this film.

I had everything I needed.

But the truth is,

this film is cursed.

[ominous music]

[wind whistling]

In 2014, I had a nightmare

where I'm a spirit hanging out

with other spirits.

And I show them

this trick I can do,

moving an object on a table

without touching it,

like what I try

to get spirits to do

during my investigations.

Then, I'm suddenly

in front of a door,

and I can't control my body.

And the door opens,

and a 12-foot-tall goat figure

is standing there,

and dark black smoke

comes out of its mouth,

and I'm forced to inhale it.

[growling]

When I woke up,

my lungs hurt,

and I knew this was

some serious sh*t

that meant something.

A week later, a story

about a demon possession

in Gary, Indiana,

makes international news.

And a look at one

of the most documented cases

of demon possession

and exorcism in recent history.

While this news is breaking,

I'm filming a show

in California

when I start getting calls

about it.

The next day, over the phone,

I buy the house, sight unseen.

Now, "Inside Edition"

with Deborah Norville.

That "Portal to Hell" house

that we've been telling you

about in Gary, Indiana,

where so many eerie things

are said to have happened,

has just been sold.

And wait till you see

who's moving in.

The new owner is Zak Bagans.

What on Earth were you

thinking, buying this house?

A week later,

I arrive with a film crew.

A woman named Latoya Ammons,

along with her young children

and her mother,

are the family at the center

of this haunting.

Unfortunately,

they've since moved out,

and some squatters

have moved in.

It takes some convincing

to get them to leave.

Hello?

Hey, Charles, it's Zak,

did you call?

Okay, thanks, Charles.

Hey, how you doing, man?

Leon Steadman.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah,

how are you?

- How you doing?

- I'm all right. I'm all right.

Your friends?

Who's your friends?

Oh, man.

This is my first steps

right now inside the home.

And... wow, this is it, huh?

Then, psychic medium

Chris Fleming sends me a text.

He's heard I bought the house.

He sends me a warning

that I'll never forget.

He tells me there's

a 12-foot-tall demon guardian,

just like the one

from my dream,

at that house.

And I better stay

the hell away from it.

I should have

taken his advice.

[eerie music]

But I didn't.

I just got the keys

to the Demon House.

So I have the house,

but I don't have Latoya Ammons

and her family,

who were allegedly possessed

in the house.

They've moved away

to Indianapolis,

so we go searching for them.

This is it.

This is what it all

comes down to,

after numerous conversations

with Latoya and her mother

about them debating on whether

or not they want to talk

or do an interview with me.

They always said

they'd return our phone calls,

and they never did.

So, we were able

to find their address.

I have to go try

and talk to them.

We're in Indianapolis.

Latoya did a news story,

like, a year ago or something.

And we were able

to find this news story

that wasn't related

to her exorcisms,

about a mold problem

here in these apartments.

And you could see her

standing there

with the address

on the right-hand side.

And that's how we were able

to be led here.

This whole story started

in 2011,

when the Ammons family moved

into that old rental house

in Gary, Indiana.

They started hearing footsteps

going up and down

their basement stairs,

saw shadowy figures

in the living room,

and flies swarmed

their screened-in porch

in the dead of winter.

The local Catholic church

told them

their house was haunted

by spirits,

and a couple clairvoyants

claimed that the house

was home to 200 demons.

Then it started affecting

their young children more.

They started having

dark conversations about death

with people who weren't there.

A family doctor wrote it off

as delusions.

Then, on April 27, 2012,

everything blew up.

[eerie music]

Now I'm outside their new home

150 miles away,

hoping they'll talk to me.

Someone in there.

[knocking]

Is Latoya or Rosa here?

How are you?

I'm Matt.

We talked on the phone

a couple weeks ago.

- This is Zak.

- What's up, man?

How you doing?

Good.

I wanted to see

if Latoya or Rosa

would want to talk to us.

Okay.

Okay, yeah.

See what happens.

[tape fast-forwarding]

- It's bullshit.

- I knew it.

Oh, she won't?

Okay.

Kevin explains

they won't speak to me

because I've spent time

in the house,

and they fear things have

attached themselves to me.

Luckily,

Kevin is willing to talk.

What did you notice first?

I was told not to even

go in the house.

It was really affecting

the kids

and my sister the most,

you know.

And really the youngest,

my nephew.

It was really, really

letting him have it.

It was hurting him, you know,

things of that nature.

Then, when they came to see me

and stay with me

those few days and nights,

it was attacking them

in my home.

I heard it.

I was upstairs in my bedroom,

and I heard, "Whoom!"

[distorted shouting]

They were all sitting

in my living room,

and they started this little,

weird, evil little chant

out of nowhere.

And it started with...

my youngest nephew started.

[video game music]

He stopped.

My oldest nephew picked it up.

He stopped.

My niece picks it up.

Are you okay?

[eerie music]

[wheezing gutturally]

[distorted groaning]

[eerie music]

[distorted roaring]

We were taking them

to the car,

and then all of a sudden,

my one nephew started

attacking the other one.

And then, my niece

just starting attacking.

They just kept attacking

each other.

[kids shouting]

Stop it.

[kids screaming]

[distorted screaming]

And my nephew

looks up at my mom,

said, "Get your hands off me,

you old b*tch."

I said that's enough.

[deep voice] Get your

f*cking hands off me, b*tch.

[deep voice]

f*ck your old-a*s car, b*tch.

Had they ever talked

to your mom like that?

No, they would never do that.

- Ever?

- Ever, ever.

I had my oldest nephew,

and she had him.

And he looks at him,

he's like, he says,

"Are you ready to go,

my brother?"

"Yes, my brother,

I'm ready to go."

All of a sudden,

it just started grabbing

my oldest nephew,

just slamming him,

slamming him, slamming him

in the back.

Then he just

kept throwing him.

I don't know exactly

why it chose my family.

I don't know if it was...

Do you think

it was in the house?

I'm thinking it's a presence

that was in the house

before they moved there.

Do you think it's dangerous

for me to be in that house?

I wouldn't be there.

No way I would be there.

[eerie atmospheric music]

After meeting with me,

the Ammons won't let their

brother back in their home,

because I've been

inside the house,

and the spirits could have

transferred over to him.

Next, I track down

Father Michael Maginot,

the priest who performed

multiple exorcisms

on the Ammons family,

to fill me in on

the next part of the story.

They called 911?

They called 911.

Ambulances came.

They took the boys

to the emergency room.

When they got

to the hospital,

were there still

strange things

being reported

by the emergency room staff?

Yeah, there was one boy,

was very violent.

Could you mention

about the hospital again?

Tell Lieutenant Gruszka

what happened?

And my granddaughter start,

"I can't take it anymore,

Grandma.

Make them stop.

I can't look in their eyes.

I can't look in their eyes."

His head is doing this.

"I've been here long enough.

I came to k*ll.

I'm going to k*ll now."

This is how

he started talking.

What happens next

is witnessed by hospital staff

and Child Protective Services

case manager

Valerie Washington.

[whispering, screaming]

So I have

the intake officer's report.

And this is

by Valerie Washington,

the family case manager,

dated April 23, 2012.

Okay.

And this was

Valerie Washington

that did say,

"Later that evening,

he began to growl.

He charged

at the grandmother's stomach

and head butted her

several times."

Help him, please!

Jesus, help him!

[indistinct shouting]

[eerie music]

He went up the wall

real fast.

Standing like this,

facing the wall this way,

and went up the wall,

and then came back around

and stood back in front of us.

What did you do

when that happened?

I left the room.

She walked out.

I saw her.

I ran out the room.

I saw you, girl.

So there's the CPS worker,

right there,

admitting to the police

that's filming this,

that she did witness this boy

walking backwards up the wall.

Who else was in the room

when that happened?

The psychologist.

The psychologist

was there too?

He was there.

He had just examined.

What did

the psychologist say?

He left the room too.

You haven't been here

since the last time?

I haven't been here

since the day

after he came here.

This home video

was shot by police

doing a wellness check

on the Ammonses

one week after the incident

at the hospital.

This is the first time

the Ammonses

have been back to their home

since then.

Is everything

pretty much intact,

the way you guys left it?

Yes, yes.

Okay, so this is...

Who's room is this?

My room.

Oh, so you had

the front room... nice.

I had to stay in there.

One of the officers

that was there that day

was Captain Charles Austin,

who had been there

a month earlier

on a Child Protective Services

call.

Why did you come here

March 2012?

I'm the watch commander

for the police department.

One of the sergeants stated

that he was dispatched

to this location

to assist

Child Protective Service

and remove

two or three children

who had not been

attending school.

Upon walking in,

he saw several crucifixes,

candles which had been burnt,

and Bibles.

And he stated

that he had an eerie feeling

within inside the residence.

In my 37 years

of police investigation,

I've never run into anything

like that before.

[zapping sound effects]

So we stayed up here

for approximately 45 minutes,

and I was in disbelief.

What time do the things

in this usually start?

You said in the evening?

They don't have

a special time.

So I'm saying,

yeah, okay, right.

This is really occurring.

The officers then

went down into the basement.

And it was a table

with a crucifix, a Bible,

and a candle

which had been lit.

We stayed down here

for about 15 minutes.

And he was videotaping.

I was taking my iPhone

and I was taking pictures

and whatever.

And I said,

"It's time for me to leave.

I've had enough."

I immediately started walking.

And as I walked, I say...

"That's weird."

I don't know that much

about construction.

But why would somebody concrete

a whole basement

and leave dirt

under the stairs?

I said,

"That don't make sense."

And as I look closer,

I saw floor pan

with a candle on it.

Don't make sense.

Don't make common sense.

At this stage

of the police investigation,

what Captain Austin

perceives as odd

may be something much graver.

Is it possible this discovery

is the remnants of a ritual,

one capable of conjuring

something terrifying?

Then, in fact,

things start occurring.

What do you mean things?

What kind of things?

[eerie creaking]

We noticed when

we went in the basement,

there's actually two doors.

The one on the left that

actually goes to the room,

at various times

we were in the basement,

it was in a different position,

and neither one of us

had went into the room.

I had an audio recording

that I was walking

around the house,

just making notes

or commenting on things.

There was an unusual,

unidentifiable voice

that appeared on that audio.

They're burning stuff

all over the place here.

That's where...

[indistinct

background chatter]

I'm surprised

the fire department

hasn't been here.

It sounds like "heys" to me.

[indistinct whooshing]

[camera shutter clicks]

I'm surprised the...

[tape rewinding]

[indistinct whooshing]

Did you hear that

with your own ears?

When that happened that day,

I did not hear any voice.

I only heard it

on the recording.

[indistinct whooshing]

And I walked out of here

and got in my unit,

squad car,

and I drove approximately

a mile and a half away.

You pulled over, no?

Right, I'm in

a gas station parking lot.

And all of a sudden,

the AM/FM radio in my car

changed and went to static.

And it said,

"Who in there?"

[crickets chirping]

The home's previous owner

told me

that other police officers

had experienced things

in the house

that had caused them

to quit their jobs

and move away from the area.

I have come

to the conclusion,

because of everything

that had transpired

and all the things

that I had witnessed

and heard about,

that it affected women

and children physically

and the stronger men

electronically.

We set up another meeting

to come to this house.

Who did?

Myself, the other officers,

Child Protective Services.

The same CPS worker

from before?

No, she wouldn't come back.

Why?

She was terrified.

Something was coming

from underneath those stairs

that was causing

the whole house...

To turn.

[eerie music]

In light

of these developments,

Reverend Maginot gets approval

to perform a minor rite

on the mother, Latoya Ammons.

You basically want to try

to either aggravate the demon

or abate it.

But if it's consistent,

okay, you're not really

affecting the demon,

and you may be

endangering the person.

Behold the cross of the Lord.

Flee bands of enemies.

May you be snatched away

and driven

from the church of God

and from the souls redeemed

by the precious blood

of the Divine Lamb.

I saw she had an aversion

to holy objects.

I put the crucifix on her head.

She began convulsing.

I took it off;

she stopped convulsing.

And then I did it

a second time.

Again, watching,

it's consistent.

And did it a third time.

Father Maginot sat

on the couch with a Bible,

some holy water,

and some salt.

And he was reading the Bible.

He was just intense.

He was really reading.

While Reverend Maginot

tends to Latoya,

the three police officers

who are present

begin digging in the basement,

under the stairs.

We were digging, whatever.

He had dug about 4 feet.

The officer?

Right.

And he found a nail,

a finger nail, a clip-on nail.

I think it was pink in color.

A nail?

Right, right,

a finger nail, a clip-on nail.

And he found some panties.

Panties?

Women's panties,

women's underwear.

Also dug up that day:

a comb, two children's socks,

a heavy bar, and a red tin.

So who buried these objects

under the stairs?

And why?

Do you believe that

that house was haunted

before Latoya and her family

moved in?

If those items were there

from that original family,

it could be.

Now, I think it would be

what you would call

"necromancy,"

which is trying to communicate

with the dead.

We only assumed,

because we had no expertise,

that this was a portal to Hell.

Upstairs,

something begins to happen

in the center bedroom.

We went in the center bedroom

on the first floor,

and the blinds

were dripping oil.

In fact, they weren't dripping

from the top,

as you would expect.

They were dripping

from the middle of the blinds.

There was

some liquid material

that had appeared

on some blinds in there,

and we had no source

for that material.

We left the room.

First, we photographed it

and documented it.

And then I wiped down

the blinds.

And then we sealed the room,

and I thought,

if the grandmother

had went in there

and introduced the oil,

I wanted to make sure that she

didn't go in the second time.

So we stuck a Q-tip

in the door,

at the bottom of the door,

and then we came back

about 40 minutes later,

after Father Maginot

had blessed the house.

And the Q-tip

was still in the door.

We went in, and the blinds

were dripping oil again.

Lieutenant Gruszka

went outside,

and we shined flashlights

on the outside of the window

to see if it was coming in

from the outside

or from the ceiling,

and we could never determine

the source of that.

This CPS worker would be

the next to fall victim

to the malevolent energy

in this home.

The CPS opened the cabinet,

and she took her left hand,

I remember.

She may be left-handed.

And she touched the dripping.

- The fluid...

- The fluid.

- That you'd been seeing.

- Right, right.

And when she touched

the fluid,

a whole half of her hand

changed

like all the blood

had been drawn out of it.

It went white?

White.

It was just completely white.

And she had to leave the house.

She had complained

of pain in that,

and it did turn white.

I went on the investigation,

like I said,

at the very beginning,

thinking that it was a hoax.

The more investigation we did,

I believe

that there's something there.

There's just too many people

that I know

are truthful people

that saw things,

some of them which I saw,

to discount everything.

I was talking to the Child

Protective Services worker.

Her hand was starting

to come back to life.

Okay.

And Father Maginot came to

the front porch stairs outside,

and he stood there,

and he looked.

I say, "Father, what's wrong?"

And he looked exactly

like the CPS worker's hand.

He was flush

as a sheet of paper.

And it was like...

I said, "What's wrong?"

And he said,

"The blinds are dripping."

With so many unrelated people

finding themselves entangled

in this demonic web,

Father Maginot is compelled

to help the Ammons.

Evidence in hand,

he requests permission

from Bishop Dale J. Melczek

to conduct

an official exorcism

on Latoya Ammons.

His request

is granted immediately.

I adjure you,

ancient serpent,

by the judge of the living

and the dead,

by your creator,

by Him who has the power

to consign you to Hell.

Latoya would later recount,

this was the moment she felt

the spirit lift from her.

[atmospheric vocal music]

The stories I had heard

about this haunting

were compelling,

but as I began

my own investigation,

there was just

one nagging question.

Was the whole thing a hoax?

In early 2014,

I get a call from the producer

of a very big horror film

from a few years ago.

He's threatening me because

he wants the film rights

to the Ammons story.

Due to privacy laws,

his identity

is disguised here.

[on phone]

Don't bully me around.

Do not call me

and threaten me.

Don't call me and tell me

that Mr. [bleep]

is this big-wig attorney

and I better listen

to what he's saying,

because you're

being documented

right now by myself,

listening to what appears

to be threats.

And I didn't want

to go this route.

[voiceover]

So Hollywood wants the rights,

which means there's money

in it for the major players,

from the Ammons family

to Father Maginot.

And now the Ammons,

who originated this story,

won't talk to me,

and they're apparently talking

about a movie deal.

Oh, she won't?

Okay.

Are they doing something else

with another movie producer?

Mm-hmm.

They are?

Charles Reed,

the home's original landlord

who I bought the house from

and who had owned it

for roughly a decade,

told local media

that he was skeptical.

"I thought I heard it all.

This was a new one to me.

My belief system

has a hard time

jumping over that bridge."

And the people who were

squatting in the house

when I bought it originally

told me they didn't experience

anything there.

You think it's

all about money?

Yeah, you want to know

the truth, yeah.

They had all these reporters

out in front of my house,

and I refuse

to entertain something

that I'm not seeing.

Mm-hmm.

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

To me, I've been here

for two years,

and I hear

the occasional creaks

and this and that,

but I'm thinking

the house is just old.

Whether the claims

are real or false,

I'd like to find out

whether they're real or false.

I'm not here

to fabricate nothing

or sensationalize on anything.

If people are making this up,

I'm gonna catch them.

Well, I'm telling you,

I haven't seen it.

You haven't seen any ghosts?

But as soon as I slipped her

fianc some money to leave,

suddenly he had

all kinds of crazy stories.

Your friends?

Who's your friends?

Oh, man...

When they... "Inside Edition,"

it really came,

because they was at the story.

Mm-hmm.

And if I was able to...

man, I had it in the bag.

What you're offering

is peanuts, man.

They came out here,

Deborah Norville,

the other little lady,

they was out there.

The producer...

the producer, man.

Oh, man,

when this first broke, Zak,

you should have seen it, man.

You just getting

the a*s end of it.

Like I told them,

and by me not being on a lease,

I was done.

I couldn't do nothing.

Yeah, have you seen

things in here?

Have you seen ghosts

in here?

I'm not gonna tell you that

until we sit down

and we sit down

and make an agreement.

You know, it's a market for it.

And I've seen the market,

with the people...

But your fiance said

that there's nothing in here.

Well, that's her story.

"Inside Edition"

also wanted to talk to me.

But instead, I went to meet

with the home's

original owners.

There, I learned that other

members of the Ammons family

also took issue with

the claims they were making.

Charles has got me

an article here,

and this was published

February 5, 2014.

It says the grandmother

of the possessed kids

insists none of this went on.

Could this be

the other grandmother?

I don't know.

I read that...

So Latoya Ammons,

her mother is the one

that lived in the house,

that witnessed all that stuff

and did all the interviews

stating that she saw the kids

being lifted up

and tons of other stuff.

So now Latoya Ammons's

step-mother,

which is a different woman:

"My children,

Latoya's brother and sisters,

are outraged,"

the step-mother told me.

They know the true story,

and they're upset

about the family's name

being dragged through the mud.

"My family hoped

this would all blow over.

It has not."

Wow.

Wow.

Also, a photo leaked online

of a ghostly figure

in one of the house's windows.

But this was almost definitely

faked using a cell phone app.

On top of this,

I had the house inspected,

and the inspector found mold

and other things

that could have had

a psychological effect

on the residents.

So what does the house contain?

Asbestos, black mold,

everything?

Can that make you feel dizzy

or euphoric?

And then you have

to think about, too,

if any of those elements

would affect the human mind

or the body

to perceive those side effects

as paranormal-induced type

euphoria and spirit energy.

So it's something to take

into consideration.

I was starting to think

this may be

an overblown case

of mass hysteria

or that there was some other

normal explanation

that was now being turned

into a money grab.

But then,

with my own investigation,

sh*t got crazy.

One day, when we're filming

at the house,

a woman drives by

and says she used to

live there in the '90s.

You got my audio, Jay?

Check, check, you got it?

Did you used to live in here?

So you used to live here,

how many years?

Just stayed, like,

four or five years.

Did you all hear about

what's been going on in here?

Yes.

You guys have all heard

about it?

Has your mom

been telling you about it?

I saw on Facebook.

Yeah, a lot of stuff

happened here.

If the claims are true

about the demons being in here,

I just want to make sure

it's okay

for them to be in here,

because the other family

did have three kids also.

Oh, for real?

Yeah, except they were

two boys and one girl.

What?

Mom, are you giving them

permission to go inside?

Yeah, y'all just have

to be careful,

because like I said, I ain't

been here in a couple years.

[keys jingling]

My mama's landlord

used to own this house.

You ready?

I am ready.

This was my room.

The skeleton...

the skeleton key doors?

Used to be skeleton keys.

Really?

Not all the doors

were skeletons.

These are the latch doors.

This was your room,

right here?

My bed was right here.

How old were you then?

I was, like, 10.

Teenagers?

Yeah, something like that.

What does it feel like

to be back in here?

Oh, my God, I'm shocked.

- Yeah?

- I'm shocked.

Mika, do you ever, ever

remember anything happening

to you or your friends

or your family

that was strange?

Well, my friend Kaneshia,

we used to leave

my friend Kaneshia here,

and when we would come back,

she used to be saying stuff

like she heard noises.

Did she ever say

what kind of noises?

Like footsteps going.

She did hear people

walking around?

That's the basement.

I never went to the basement.

Did you never like

to go in the basement?

No.

Do you want to go

in the basement now?

Yeah, if you go first.

[eerie music]

You okay?

You need a hand?

You good?

Why did you never want

to come down here?

Did you just feel

something bad down here?

I didn't come

in the basement.

This is actually my first time

being in the basement.

I've never came into the

basement. (mumbles)

Ooh, Danny, you kicked me.

I didn't kick you.

Yes, you did.

Don't kick me.

sh*t.

Excuse my French, sorry.

No, you can say whatever.

You can say whatever you want.

Oh, no.

What's wrong?

Upon reviewing the video

with greater brightness,

you can see her leg buckle,

but nobody kicked her.

I never came

into the basement. (mumbles)

Ooh, Danny, you kicked me.

I didn't kick you.

Yes, you did.

Don't kick me.

Do you not like it down here?

No, I never really liked

the basement.

No? Why not?

Just didn't.

No?

My brother stayed

in the basement.

Is your mom okay?

I don't know.

I guess she's scared.

That's why she wants to leave.

Yeah?

She all creeped out.

I want to do that little,

turn off the lights,

and then the green stuff

so you can see

and hear everything.

- The night vision camera?

- Yeah.

It's scarier

than watching it on TV.

They can get inside of you

and stuff

and do all kinds

of weird stuff.

They can make you sick,

and that ain't fun.

It's happened to me.

Who helped you, like,

get that stuff out of you?

A priest.

And that's when you started

wanting to do ghost hunting?

Well, yeah.

More or less, investigating.

That's what brought me here.

[eerie music]

Is the demon

still in the house,

or have they moved on?

I don't know.

That's what I'm here

to find out.

Will the ghost

come to our house,

since she lived here?

Are you worried about that?

Yep.

- You are?

- Yep.

A real worry?

Yeah, 'cause I'm afraid.

Mm-mm.

Mm-mm.

Mika's microphone

has just picked up

a mysterious

electronic voice phenomena.

It sounds like, "Run, Latoya."

Mm-mm.

Mm-mm.

Latoya, of course,

is the name of the mother

in the Ammons family.

It's funny,

her son was asking me

with a serious look on his face

if the ghosts

were gonna follow him home.

I don't know what's wrong

with this boy.

[exhales]

Cold, with these demons.

After Mika and her kids leave,

we set up this religious altar

in the living room.

Moments later, something

I can't explain overcomes me.

[eerie music]

This moment is only captured

on the surveillance camera.

- Billy?

- Yeah?

What in the f*ck

just happened?

Well, you attacked Jay.

You told him,

"Get the f*ck out."

You said, "Get out, get out!"

Then you, like, rushed him.

You basically slammed me

against the wall.

Give me the keys.

Come outside for a bit.

I don't want to.

I know you don't.

You need to, though.

All right, just hold on.

[eerie music]

We leave and drive around

for an hour.

Then, the man living next-door

calls me.

He tells me there's

someone on my porch

trying to break in.

Are they turning my house?

Yeah, go over there.

Go over there.

Right now, we are just

around my house,

and we see three police cars

turning down the street

to my house.

Yeah, pull up over there.

Go, go, go.

Hang on.

Slow down, Matt.

Jeez, god.

The police

won't go near my house.

What I've witnessed is, yeah.

I saw the video

that Chief Miller filmed.

Yeah.

No.

If you want to wait,

I'll take you guys in there.

Chief says he refuses

to ever do it,

because stuff follows you.

Yes, that sh*t'll follow you.

I won't tell him that.

It's a different kind

of haunting.

Yeah.

No, we get answer.

We could get answers.

We can get answers.

The next day, we tracked down

Valerie Washington,

the original CPS case manager

who quit and moved away.

Now, you were in the video

that was shot

by Chief Brian Miller.

Yes.

I'ma get ready

to leave you guys.

Okay.

- I got another case.

- Okay.

Do you still feel

what you witnessed that day

was beyond the capabilities

of a 9-year-old boy?

I'm positive

in regards to that matter.

Sometimes, even thinking

about it again,

it kind of just throws me back

into a series where

I don't want to go back to.

It's taken me a while

to move past that.

When he did walk up the wall

before my eyes,

he could not remember doing it

five minutes afterwards,

after he was

questioned about it,

after they asked him

questions about it.

Child couldn't remember.

He looked at us like,

what are we talking about?

He didn't even understand

the question

that we were asking him.

And the fact that myself

and the psychiatrist

witnessed this,

along with the family.

We had no words to explain it,

because we didn't

understand it either.

And the child

couldn't even explain it.

He didn't even believe

he did anything.

Do you believe

that this family was possessed

by these demons?

I believe that it was

something going on there

that was out of the realm

of a normal living person.

Something was going on

I can't even explain

at that house.

Have you sustained any

emotional or mental trauma

from what you witnessed?

Yes.

Is this a factor in you

leaving here in Indiana?

It played into it,

because after that,

a lot had changed

as far as me trying

to do my daily routine work.

I worked

as a child fatality worker.

I investigated children dying.

I've seen children

in various situations...

burned, beaten.

But after that, it was just...

It was traumatic.

And I also talked

with a psychiatrist

in regards to that,

and she stated also,

it was a very traumatic

experience for me

and that I did need

to go and seek some help.

I have witnessed that anyone

that has ever went

to that home,

the effects that they had

after they continuously

went to that home,

the things

that happened to them...

[growling]

I do not like

talking about it,

because, to me, if you feed it

as if you're scared,

it will bother you.

The day before Father Maginot

was going to perform

the second exorcism on Latoya,

he experienced

what he describes as an attack

while on a bike ride.

As I was riding

through the neighborhood,

anyone who looks up to me

is staring at me

with a puzzled look,

like, "What in the world

is riding by?"

And so that was happening

all the way

to the end of the path.

And all of a sudden,

I'm on the side of the path,

thrown down.

How did that happen?

Then I looked

at my bicycle seat,

and it was 45 degrees off.

Captain Austin

was also affected.

Just two days

after I interviewed him

in the house,

he found himself

in the emergency room.

I exited a restaurant.

I was in full uniform.

And when I exited

the restaurant,

I had the dinners

in my right hand,

I was walking

towards my squad car.

I walked down the sidewalk,

and as I walked

down the sidewalk,

both feet slid on the ice

and went up

about 3 feet in the air.

I did a somersault

and fell on my head.

I was unconscious

for approximately a month...

a minute, a minute.

And I was bleeding

from my head.

Everybody came

out the restaurant.

They was hollering

and screaming.

And they called the ambulance,

and they transported me

to Methodist South...

or Methodist

Northlake Hospital.

Captain Austin would also

end up being shot

during a home invasion,

but he survived.

As I make my way back

to the hotel,

I receive a phone call

from a distressed Mika.

[phone ringing]

Something is terribly wrong.

We were out

at my daughter's pageant.

I don't know.

My mama came back.

When did this happen,

just now?

Will you call us back

after the police leave?

Yes.

On February 20, 2014,

just two days

after visiting us at my house,

Mika's daughter

attempted suicide

by overdosing on medication

and stabbing herself.

After this incident,

one of my crew members

quits immediately.

[dogs barking]

Father Maginot.

Okay, hi there.

- How you doing?

- Pretty good.

This is Mika.

- Hi, Mika, Father Mike.

- Hello.

It's been three weeks

since I got the phone call

about Erica.

This is Erica.

And Erica,

pleased to meet you.

Father Mike.

Do you mind if I talk

with her real quick?

Okay.

For, like, five minutes?

- Okay.

- Okay.

Erica, do you want to...

Do you remember

going in that house?

Remember when you went in

with me and your mom?

Like, a month ago?

Do you remember when you went

inside the house with me?

Three weeks.

That's how long it's been

since Erica spent time

with me in the house.

Is the demon

still in the house,

or have they moved on?

Do you remember

a couple days later,

things that were going on

with you and your mom?

Partially.

That day was,

like, in and out.

Okay.

Do you remember

what caused you to get angry?

No?

No.

Okay, did it feel like you,

or did it feel like just

someone else out of nowhere?

Not when I threatened

my mother.

Have you ever

threatened her like that?

No.

Okay, what did you tell her?

That I was gonna k*ll her,

mostly.

Okay, in her sleep?

- Mm-hmm.

- Okay.

Do you remember

hurting yourself that day?

Um...

Do you remember

stabbing yourself?

No, I just... no.

She had holes in her wrists.

Her eyes were, like, red.

How did she have holes?

In both her wrists?

In both her wrists,

just little cuts,

like she had stabbed

her wrists.

- With...

- A pen.

And my sister is an RN.

- In both, you said?

- Yes.

Like when Jesus

would have been crucified.

Yes, yes.

It was scary,

because, like I said,

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 m*rder*d

in a double m*rder-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

m*rder rates in the country.

You guys ever heard g*nshots

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 m*rder*d 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 a*usive.

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*ck'...

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.

Floating right there?

That's weird.

Now it's, like, gone.

So it's transient.

And what was odd

is the transient nature.

It's not against the wall.

It's not on the floor.

It's not up above.

It's a couple feet forward.

It's a couple feet,

middle of the room.

Half my height up,

and it's...

- Pulsing.

- Pulsing.

Whoa.

I'm getting a...

Hang on.

What's the matter?

Ooh.

[eerie music]

Hmm.

[eerie music]

Then, shortly after

is when I felt

- the pain in my temples,

- The rush of energy, yeah.

and then I had

to leave that room.

And when I left that room,

I started getting emotional

a second time,

like I was just gonna cry.

And then I would

get aggressive.

My eyes begin hurting

for no reason,

and I don't realize

it's a warning sign

for what's to come.

That's what happens.

It comes in, and it'll hit...

Ah.

Slap your hand together

like that again.

[hand smacks]

Just as you did that,

we got a spike

on the instrument.

That's what happens.

It comes in,

and it'll hit me...

Ah.

Why would that happen?

Your body is, in some way...

it's not...

well, it's in some way

affecting the electromagnetic

field here.

Your body is a capacitor.

It's being charged up

by this environment,

and you discharged it.

Let me see if I'm getting it

off him, then.

Let's try that back.

I'm getting real aggravated.

Look, look, look,

look, look.

It's magnetic, look.

We didn't get that

before, did we?

No.

20 milligauss

coming off you.

That's a little high.

Why would your body

be emitting... now, remember,

biomagnetic fields

are really weak.

You need

a superconducting sensor.

And what was I giving off?

20 milligauss?

About maybe 8 million

to 12 million times normal.

What?

8 million to 12 million

times normal.

- 8 to...

- To 12 million.

The average human body's

magnetic field...

we generate a magnetic...

is measured in millionths

of a gauss.

It's a 1-hertz... look at it.

It's like a...

yeah, not a 1-hertz.

You see that?

Wow, interesting.

And yet, when I...

move away from here

to see if the space

is affected.

It stopped moving

because he moved.

All of a sudden,

something causes me

to lunge at Dr. Taff,

and as I force myself

to walk away,

realizing I may attack him,

my cameraman captures

the device spiking again...

at the same exact time

as my hostile movement.

That thing just spiked

when I did that.

That a dog?

What happened?

Do they have a dog

next to us here?

- A what?

- A dog.

- Is there a dog?

- No, there's no dogs.

Then I just heard a,

"Grough!"

You heard it here before.

Like a, "Ough!"

From over there... "Rowf."

Assume it's a dog.

Where did you hear it?

Come from over here.

Just here.

"Ough."

I thought, well,

there's a dog.

I heard dogs.

We have no animals.

Something starts to happen

to Dr. Taff

after he and my camera

operator hear the growl.

And now I'm noticing

a pattern

of how people act

when the house

is starting to have

an effect on them.

- Oh, no.

- What's wrong?

They appear lost in thought

and confused.

[eerie music]

Do you want to get

out of here for a minute?

Are you okay?

Yeah.

'Cause you're...

Actually, I need something

to drink, like water.

Yeah, I just feel very...

yeah, I'm feeling dizzy or...

I'm noticing that you keep

shutting your eyes and swaying.

Yeah, because I feel like

I'm gonna fall backwards.

I feel like I'm gonna pass out.

Let me see, if I move...

Are you okay?

As we head upstairs,

I go outside

to clear my mind

from the house.

And at that time,

I don't notice

Dr. Taff becoming

affected again.

Weeks after

this investigation,

we discover

something disturbing

captured on this camera

while he walks

in a state of confusion

towards the back hallway.

[eerie music]

The black anomaly

appears in seven frames,

sh**ting at 24 frames

per second.

One, two, three, four,

five, six, seven.

Which means that when played

at regular speed,

the anomaly manifests

in a fraction of a second.

As Dr. Taff walks back,

he places his hand

in the exact spot

where the black mass

just manifested off the wall,

at which time he immediately

becomes affected again.

Oh, it's really bad in there.

That same sense of nausea,

like you're gonna throw up.

Reverse peristaltic action,

very strong in there.

I take the footage

to Ed Wiebe,

who was a video engineer

for NASA for 32 years.

Really increased the

luminosity just a little bit,

just to see some of the other

detail on the object.

Prior to that, we can see that

it's different intensities.

There's not

the same intensity.

So we thought it was

a hand or something like that

from someone else,

say the cameraman, perhaps,

his hand wouldn't be broken up

into different intensities.

It would all be one hand.

I'm 100% sure that is not

the cameraman's hand.

You've got the regular shadow

of the cameraman back here.

It's like a gray,

very light gray.

But then,

as the anomaly's happening,

there's this real dark

band of shadow

all down in here.

We don't see it retract

back into the wall.

It's quite possible it could

have entered the cameraman.

I don't know if that cameraman

had any problems

after this sh**t.

As a matter of fact,

that cameraman

did have problems.

A little while later,

he suddenly had to lie down.

He then begins acting

very strange,

like he's confused.

No one sees him wander off

into the basement alone.

[ominous music]

Later, we find

the cameraman, Adam,

lying on his back

in the back bedroom,

where Mika's

m*rder*d brother lived.

As we return to the hotel,

that same cameraman, Adam,

starts vomiting blood

in my bathroom.

He then leaves my room

and begins screaming my name

in a strange voice.

We start rolling

with our cameras.

- What's wrong with him?

- Where'd he go?

Film.

- Wait.

- Shh.

He's calling security.

[elevator door opens]

[whispering]

Where did he go?

[ominous music]

Come here, you f*ck!

b*tch!

Whatever is affecting him,

he's taunting it to do more.

I'm right near that f*ck!

[ominous music]

[shouting indistinctly]

[banging]

Dude, what's wrong?

f*ck that sh*t,

f*ck that sh*t.

Adam, what's...

Not gonna f*ck with me

like that.

What's in the elevator?

Nothing, nothing.

It's a b*tch.

If there's anything here,

it's a b*tch.

You hear, f*ck?

Huh?

What is wrong with him?

Have you ever seen him

like that before, Jay?

No, never.

How long have you known him?

Years.

That was the scariest thing

I've ever seen in my life.

[elevator door opens]

[whispering] Crazy.

- Security's coming.

- Yeah, I know.

[elevator door opens]

Adam, let's go,

before security comes.

At this same moment,

two floors above us,

Dr. Taff is also experiencing

something strange.

Got back to the hotel,

and I had a strange sense

of anxiety, irritability.

I'm sleeping, and suddenly,

not in the room,

in my left ear,

I hear, like,

a really loud bell.

Jump out of bed.

"What was that?"

I suddenly fell over,

and I wake up,

and I'm on the ground.

When Dr. Taff gets up,

he realizes he has blood

in both of his ears.

Meanwhile, back in the room

with Adam...

What's happening?

What do you feel?

You're fine in here.

Just, all of a sudden,

like, felt like something

was stabbing me in my stomach.

Do you think that sh*t's

making you puke and all that?

No, I don't.

Just, guys, can you just

cut the cameras, man?

Seriously, f*ck'...

Little sh*t like that,

it's not gonna f*ck'...

You understand how

this thing works, though.

It's trying to draw you in,

piss you off, and...

Like, that's been happening

the whole time we come here,

is these little pokes at us,

these little things.

Honestly, I know,

but it's like,

why the f*ck

would it f*ck with me?

God, dude, I thought you saw

a dead body in the f*ck'...

I thought I was gonna open

it up and see a mutilated...

What'd you say?

There was a face.

Could you get any details

or anything?

I think you know

what I saw, bro.

I had never told my crew

or anyone else

about the nightmare I had

a week before

I bought the house,

where I saw the face

of a goat man

exhaling black smoke

into my mouth.

Like, I shouldn't be

really amped up right now.

I need to calm down.

I'm sorry.

Scared the sh*t

out of me.

That scared

the f*cking sh*t...

I'm not gonna lie to you

right now.

When that f*cking

door opened...

For a second,

I f*cking screamed

like a little girl.

Did you hear me call for Zak?

I was like,

f*ck, dude, this guy...

Yo, it doesn't want me.

It wants him?

Yeah, it wants you.

That sh*t scared me like...

it wasn't just, like...

it was like... the thing...

the first thing

that I thought was,

this is real.

Because I have to be honest.

Like, up until that moment,

right there,

I didn't believe any of this,

like, 100%.

There's something, like,

touching my hand right now.

What's it feel like?

It's cold.

You got...

Whoa, whoa.

He has a field around him.

Come over here.

I felt it on my arm here.

You're a f*cking b*tch.

Do something better.

Do something better than that,

you f*cking b*tch.

Feel around him.

That just made my arm hair

f*cking stand up.

Do something

better than that!

I'm sorry.

These arm hairs

just crawled up,

like, backed up off of him.

Like a towel out of the

dryer, it's all staticky.

[creepy music]

I'm gonna find you.

A short time

after returning home,

Dr. Taff's organs begin

to shut down one by one.

Being in overall good health,

the doctors cannot explain

the cause of this.

So they started telling me

my organs are shutting down

and failing.

All my organs

started shutting down.

My prostate, massive infection.

My kidneys, my liver,

my bladder was infected.

My whole body was failing.

But, I mean,

it was collectively.

It wasn't, like, a little here.

Boom-boom-boom-boom-boom.

It was like a cascade.

Boom-boom-boom-boom.

Boof.

I felt nauseous and dizzy.

Went back to the hotel

later on, and I fell,

and then I passed out.

I started to shake really bad.

And that's atypical.

"Did you ever go back

to the house?"

No?

I said the man who hired me

went back.

He got sick.

The cameraman was there,

and he got really sick,

and I saw it

right in front of me.

And he got sicker than I did.

Started shaking, nauseous,

kept throwing up.

It's all happening...

the problem is,

it's all happening

at the same time.

That's what makes it weird.

So, you know, the problem is,

why are my organs all starting

to shut down simultaneously?

This place might have had

a more dynamic

and dramatic effect on me,

but in a way

I didn't understand

until it all

slammed me together.

If my theory is correct

that my body shutting down

is a result of being

in the demon house

just for several hours,

that's long-term effects.

I was only there

for a few hours.

If I'd stayed there overnight,

given what's going on

with me now,

I'd probably be dead by now.

Who knows

what's going on there?

You know, beside

the paranormal phenomena,

there may be other elements

that are tied into it

that explain this in ways

we don't yet understand.

And what happened with you

at the house,

what happened with

the cameraman at the house,

this is the tip

of the iceberg.

So this may provide

incredible new definition

for what is going on

in these cases.

This is a life-changing

experience,

because I never thought

this would happen to me.

After the night

of Adam's meltdown,

his behavior continues

to be disturbing.

The very next day,

he tells me to go

into the bathroom

of the house,

to smash the mirror,

and to slit my throat

with the broken glass.

He's no longer himself.

And after a couple days

of this...

Come here, you f*ck!

I have no choice

but to remove him

from my crew.

Jay, my other camera guy,

tries to get Adam some help,

but he refuses.

[drill whirring]

With the effects of the house

seeming to take down

members of my crew now,

I decide to accelerate

the situation

by boarding myself up

in the house...

sealed up, alone, overnight...

and let whatever

may be haunting it

take its best shot at me.

I know this sounds stupid,

but the investigator

inside of me

wants to experience it.

Been a long time.

I'm okay.

I want to seal myself

inside here.

I'm gonna start

in about 15 minutes.

Yeah.

The last piece of plywood

goes on that front door.

And that last piece

of plywood

is gonna get screwed in

with me inside.

- No.

- Okay, all right.

That's fine.

[creepy atmospheric music]

[beeping sounds]

[beeping sounds]

[exhales]

I have a phone.

My crew, so I can talk to them,

text them.

[beeping sounds]

Pretty weird feeling,

just knowing

that you're completely...

sealed inside a house,

let alone this house.

And I'm really afraid

to turn that light out.

That's, like, my safety chain

right there, that light.

Man, I don't want to.

[distant indistinct speech]

I just heard a...

[exhales]

I heard a female voice...

in the kitchen.

[tape rewinding]

[distant indistinct speech]

[exhales]

[soft clattering]

[low groan]

[low groan]

Get away from me.

Get away.

Back the f*ck up.

[intense creepy music]

[thrown object clatters]

Oh, my God, my eyes.

[groaning]

Ow, f*ck.

f*ck.

[clattering]

Get me the f*ck out of here!

[voice echoing,

wind whistling]

The following day,

my eyes begin to cross,

resulting in double vision.

I develop a serious

eye condition called diplopia.

After multiple

neurological tests

conducted in Las Vegas

and California,

doctors are unable

to determine the cause

for this sudden affliction.

I am now forced

to wear prism glasses,

as my condition

is now permanent.

Corrective surgery

done in both my eyes

runs the risk

of total blindness.

[atmospheric music]

Shortly after his interview,

Kevin Ammons was kicked out

of his family's apartment.

They claim something dark

transferred from me to him.

Ever since his meltdown,

Adam refuses to speak

with me or about the house.

It appears that the time

he spent in the house

is still having

an effect on him.

He even got the numbers "666"

tattooed on both his hands,

the same place he'd felt

the dark energy touch him

in the hotel room.

There's something

touching my hand right now.

Dr. Barry Taff continues

to have health problems.

Doctors are still searching

for the cause

of his mysterious

organ failure.

I'm reminded of the toll

the house has taken

on nearly everyone

who's visited there.

Valerie Washington moving away

and seeking therapy;

the other CPS case manager

who suffered motorcycle burns

and a broken hand,

ankles, and ribs

shortly after being

in the house;

the home inspector who was

diagnosed with cancer;

Father Mike's bike accident;

Captain Austin's fall

and rush to the ER;

Erica's suicide attempt;

Adam's meltdown

and the aftermath in his life;

even Chief Miller claimed

that something

may have followed him home

from the house one night.

Something came back

with him.

I don't know

if it was that demon,

but something came,

and I don't want it back.

And finally, the permanent

damage to my eyes.

So I decide it's time

for the house to go away.

[crystalline vocal music]

This was a portal to Hell.

I was told not to even

go in the house.

[eerie atmospheric music]

Most of the house

was hauled away

to be buried in a landfill.

I wanted

to make sure the house

never harmed

anyone else again.

But as an investigator

and a collector,

I couldn't just let it all go.

[creepy music]

So I kept some of it,

including the basement stairs

and some of the dirt.

Even though the house is gone,

a police officer told me

that people keep showing up

and doing Satanic rituals

on the empty lot.

Like I said at the beginning,

this story is cursed.

[spare piano music]
