  Speaker 1: There is a house in Gary, Indiana that has been
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: dubbed the Demon House. Now, if you were walked past
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: this house on the street, they wouldn't stand out to you.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: It's very modest, single story, three bedroom home, looks like
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: all the other houses around it. But the history behind
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: this house is totally bizarre. LaToya Ammons, who is a
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: mother of three that lived inside of this house with
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: her three kids. She began to report to the police
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: that demons were throwing her children against the wall. Now,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: when police got the report that children are being thrown
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: against the wall, their first thought is you're an unfit parent,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: and so they sent Child Protective Services and the police
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: to go check out this residence and make sure that
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: she really was a competent parent. They are shocked at
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: what they find, and what they find is documented in
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: a police report and courtesy of the executive producer of
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: three one seven Films, Christopher Guisott, I have a copy
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: of said police report, and when I read through this
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: thing for the first time, I literally wrote him an
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: email and said, this is fake. There's no way this
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: is an actual police report, and he said, no, that's real.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: It's from the Lake County Sheriff's Department. It is the
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: official police report, and it's just it's mind blowing. Today,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: I'm going to tell the story of what happened when
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: the police got involved, and I'm just going to use
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: information that was in the police report. But before we
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: get into today's crazy story, if you're a fan of
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: the strange, dark and mysterious delivered in story format, then
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: you come to the right channel, because that's all I do,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: and I upload three to four even five times every week,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: and so if you're interested in that, I would encourage
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: you to gently take the like button out for a
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: nice seafood dinner and never call it again so weird.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: And also sub to my channel and turn on all notifications.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: You don't miss any of my weekly uploads. All right,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: let's get into the story. After numerous reports that LaToya
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Ammons was mistreating her children based on reports that she gave,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: she was telling police that demons were throwing her kids
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: around the house. Based on those reports, Child Protective Services
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: was sent to do a home study to go to
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: their house, go to LaToya Ammon's house and make sure
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: it was a safe, clean place for children to be living.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: In addition to the case manager. Her name was Valerie Washington,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: who was going to be going over to do this
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: home study. The Lake County Sheriff Department also sent over
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Lieutenant Gruzca, who would be assisting Valerie and watching the
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: home study take place. When Gruzca arrives at the house,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: he is met with Valerie Washington, also LaToya Ammons, the mother,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: and her two sons, Andrew who's nine and Amante who's seven,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: as well as Latoya's mother, so the boys grandmother. Her
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: name was Rosa Washington. The case manager pulls Gruzka aside
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: out of earshot of LaToya and her family, and she
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: starts telling Gruzka about what happened at the hospital eight
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: days earlier, because she, the case manager, had already begun
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: investigating LaToya Emmons and that whole situation with her kids.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Eight days earlier, Washington was at the hospital sitting in
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: a waiting room. Washington was with a psychologist and they
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: were speaking to Rosa, who was the grandmother of these children.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: In the room was also Andrew, the oldest son, and Amante,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: the youngest son. And as they're chatting, Amante, the youngest son,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: stands up and walks to the middle of the waiting room,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: and his eyes rolled back into his skull, and he
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: begins emitting this growling sound that sounded too deep for
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: a boy of seven years old. The grandmother reacted to
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: it like she had seen it before. She got right up.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: She marched over to him, and she took him by
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: the hands and she yelled, you are not you. And
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: she kept saying that. And the boy's eyes are still
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: back in his head and he's not responding to anything
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: his grandmother's saying. As Rosa is repeating over and over again,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: you are not you. Amante begins backpedaling towards the wall
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: behind him, and Rosa holds his hands the whole time.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: She's holding his hands firmly. He gets to the wall
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: and instead of stopping, he puts his foot up against
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: the wall. This is a seven year old boy and
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: begins walking up the wall by pressing against Rosa, and
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: she's holding on tight and he's pressing back at her
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: and using that weight to walk backwards up the wall.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: The psychologist in Washington are just watching in disbelief. Rosa's
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: holding on to him as he walks all the way
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: up to where he's on his tippy toes on the wall,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: and then he flips forward in front of her and
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: lands on his feet on the other side of Rosa.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: The psychologist and Washington literally run out of the room
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: and they go get a doctor and they explain what happened.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: The doctor come in, not having any clue what to
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: make of this, and just says to the boy, can
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: you do that again? And Amante at this point his
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: eyes are back to normal and he's sitting now next
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: to Rosa and he says, what, I didn't do anything
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: and acted like he had not been walking up the walls. Now,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: it's not in the report how Lieutenant Gruzca responds to
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Washington's story about the hospital. However, the entire police report
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: that I'm pulling all this information from is written by
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Lieutenant Gruzka at the end of the investigation. So this
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: exchange between he and the case manager Washington about the
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: hospital visit that he was not part of it apparently
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: carried weight in the entire investigation that he felt compelled
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: to add it into the report, even though on paper,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: you would think, if you're doing a home study for
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: this house, why would you incorporate something that didn't have
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: anything to do with the house. It gives you maybe
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: an insight into Lieutenant Gruzka, although his language remains super
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: professional and very pragmatic, that perhaps Lieutenant Gruzka, at the
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: end of this investigation was starting to think this might
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: be paranormal. After this story, two more police officers show
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: up to the house to assist with this home study.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: One was Brian Miller and the other was Charles Austin.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: At this point, the three officers Gruska, Miller, and Austin,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: along with the case manager Washington, begin walking towards the
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: family and towards the front door of the house. LaToya
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: says that she and her kids will not go back
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: in the house because they had moved out very recently
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: because of the strangeness that they claim was happening inside
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: of the house. They felt like they were under attack
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: by demons, and so the police they needed someone to
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: bring them in, and so Rosa, the grandmother, Latoya's mother,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: she offered to go in with them. So the house
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: is a single story, three bedroom house. You walk in
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: and you're inside of the screened in porch. You go
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: into the main level. There's a few bedrooms and then
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: there's a stairwell that leads down into the basement, and
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: so they go in and Lieutenant Gruska's in charge of
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: taking pictures and report audio. The whole time they're in
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: the house, they were not aware that they had already
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: moved out, So it's a bit of an awkward home
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: study because they're not even living there anymore. But either way,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: they're going to do their job. They're walking around taking
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: pictures of each of the bedrooms. There's three bedrooms. There's
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: a kitchen, basic stuff upstairs, and then they go downstairs
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: to the basement. Now, the basement was where LaToya and
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: her family claimed the majority of the paranormal activity was
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: taking place. The steps leading down to the basement were wood.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: They went down into the basement, the basement floor was
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: concrete and the walls were concrete blocks. As they go down,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Lieutenant Gruzka would notice that there were candles that had
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: been placed all over the basement floor that had burned
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: down to their wick. There was also an altar and
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: a nativity scene that had been placed near the underside
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: of the stairs, and so when Gruzca goes over to
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: take pictures of the altar and the nativity scene, he
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: recognizes that under the stairs near where those two things
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: are placed. It's all dirt. The concrete that made up
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: the floor of the basement had been broken away, and
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: there was jagged pieces of concrete where there should have
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: been a continuous flow of concrete underneath the steps. It
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: had been snapped up and broken away. It was gone.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: When Rosa was questioned about the strangeness of the basement
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: with all the candles and the altar, she just said
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: that there's a presence down here, and that's all she
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: was able to articulate. The other officers and the case
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: manager and Rosa they go back upstairs, and Lieutenant Gruzka
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: and Charles Austen, the other officer, they stay in the
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: basement and take a few extra pictures, a couple more
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: underneath the stairs and just up the candles before they
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: ultimately go upstairs as well. When Gruzka comes upstairs, Rose
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: is waiting for him, and she's about to turn the
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: light off leading down into the basement, and she asked him,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: did you get any pictures underneath the stairs? And he said, yeah, yeah,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: I did. I stayed down there. I took some more pictures.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: She looks at him and she says, sometimes at night
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: when we're sleeping on the main floor. Well, here commotion
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: in the basement. It sounds like maybe someone bumping on
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: the underside of the stairs, and then you hear footsteps
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: walking up the wood steps, and whatever it is stops
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: on the other side of the door leading into the
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: main floor, and it will stay there for hours, and
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: we're too scared to open the door to look. Ghruska
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: goes back to his office and he immediately uploads the
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: pictures that he took with a focus on the ones
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: he took in the basement, and he finds that there
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: is a couple of pictures he took under the stairs
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: that in the right hand corner of the picture, just
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: behind one of the steps, it's partially obscured, is a
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: white mist or a white cloud, and he zooms in
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: on it, and he brings another officers and they look
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: at it, and if you zoom in close enough, it
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: looks like a man's face. As they're zoomed in on
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: this mist underneath the stairs, they can see only because
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: they've zoomed in that there appears to be a faint
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: green miss on the left side of the picture appears
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: to be a woman's face. Gruzka and Austin, who are
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: the only two in the at the time of these
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: pictures taken, swear they did not see a white or
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: green mist under the stairs, and they took pictures. Gruzka again,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: it doesn't say in the report how he's feeling, but
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: you can imagine he's starting to feel a little bit
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: uneasy about what he's witnessing. Gruska just goes to his
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: audio recording, and so he fast forwards to the section
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: where he and Austin are alone in the basement taking
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: these additional photos. And you can clearly hear on the
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: recording Gruzka and Austin talking to each other as they're
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: taking these pictures. And at some point, as they're taking
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: these pictures of the basement, a third voice, not Austin,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: not Gruska, say directly into the audio recorder. Hey, the
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: audio recorder was one that Gruzka was used to using,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: and it had never malfunctioned before, and he and Austin
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: were the only ones down there, and so they couldn't
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: explain where the third voice was coming from, and neither
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: could any of the other officers who listened to it.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: On April thirtieth, Gruzka set up a meeting with LaToya
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Ammon's priest she was very close with, they were regular
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: church goers. This priest his name was Father Magino. He
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: had been at the Ammon's residence five days before. This
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: home visit was done when LaToya Ammins and her family
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: was still living in that residence, and so Gruzka went
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: to interview him to get a sense of what it
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: was like when they were still living there. Father Magino
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: said he was there because LaToya had reached out and said,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: I don't know what to do because she's claiming there
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: are demons here. And while they're sitting in the living
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: room on the main floor, Father Magino was telling Grusca
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: that the bathroom light started flickering on and off, and
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: so it was distracting enough that ultimately Father Magineau got
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: up and walked over to the bathroom and as soon
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: as he went inside, the flickering stopped, and then he'd
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: go back down and sit down and it would start again. Repeatedly,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Father Magineau would get up when it was flickering, he
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: would go in and it would stop. He'd come back
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: and it start flickering again. So while this is happening,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: and father Magino is going back and forth to the
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: bathroom trying to figure out why the light is flickering.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: LaToya points out that a liquid is forming on one
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: of the window blinds in the room that they were
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: all sitting in. There was this oily liquid substance that
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: was just kind of trickling down the window blinds, and
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Father Magina walks over and looks at it. They're all
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: looking at it, and there's no leak in the ceiling.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: There's no source for this liquid, and it hadn't been
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: there before. At least that's what LaToya, Ammin's and her
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: family is saying, that that's not from us. You don't
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: know what that is. As they're looking at this oily
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: substance on the blinds, the cord that controls the blind
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: itself starts swaying back and forth, and everyone startled as
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: they're looking at it. Because there's no draft in the room,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: the window's not open, there's no reason it should be swaying.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: While they're looking at this cord, Father Magino looks down
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: and sees this huge footprint in the carpet near where
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: they're standing that was too big to be his and
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: nobody else in the house had a footprint that was
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: that big. At this point, father Magino doesn't think it's
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: safe for the family to be there and advises her
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: to leave, and this would actually be the episode that
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: prompts LaToya Ammins and her family to leave the house
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: and not come back. On May tenth, Lieutenant Gruska, a
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: new Child Protective Services case manager, and a host of
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: police officers go back to the Ammin's resident. The Amin's
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: residence has been unoccupied with all utilities shut off, locked
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: and sealed since the last time they were there, which
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: was on April twenty seven, so it's a two week
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: period that no one has been in the house. But
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: there was a customary follow up to this house they
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: had to as part of the home study. When Lieutenant
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Gruzka arrives at the property, outside is father Magino, as
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: well as LaToya Ammans, her mother Rosa, Latoya's two sons,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Andrew and Amante, as well as a host of police officers.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: There's a canine unit that's there. Although it's not said
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: explicitly in the report, it would appear that the reason
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: there's all this additional police presence in a canine unit
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: is because there's an enough weirdness being reported about the house.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: There could be a home invasion situation happening, that somebody
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: else is living in this house. Any number of things
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: could be happening, but they can't write off all of
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: the strange testimony about what's happening in the house. And
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: so before they go in for this second home study,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: they have one of the dogs from the canine unit
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: go into the property and search the property for intruders,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: just in case this was a home invasion or something
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: like that. They wanted to just check the box, so
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: they send the dog in. The dog comes out, hasn't
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: found anything unusual, and so the police, along with Father Magino,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: the case manager, and Rosa, they go back into the house.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: The main level looked untouched. There was nothing strange happening
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: in the main level. When they walked around, nothing was disturbed.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: It looked like no one had been here in two weeks.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: So they opened the door to the basement. They turn
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: on the light and a couple weird things happen right away.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: One they noticed that on the steps, on the wooden
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: steps leading into the basement, there is an oily substance
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: with no clear origin that goes all the way down
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: the steps, snakes around the side and disappears underneath the stairs.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: As they begin walking down the stairs, the case manager
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: from Child Protective Services happens to touch a cabinet that
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: had been built into the walls along the stairwell leading
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: down into the basement, and immediately she pulls her hand back,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: she grabs her pinky and she reacts like something had
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: hurt her, and they ask, Hey, what's going on, and
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: she's like, I don't know. I just touched the cabinet
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: in my hand. Now hurts, My pinky hurts, it's tingling,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: and it apparently had turned white. We don't have any
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: images to show that, but her pinky basically had been
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: wounded just from touching this cabinet. And so the officers
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: go down into the basement. They follow this oily trail
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: that goes back under the stairs, and they're thinking to themselves,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: all the utilities have been turned off, there's no reason
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: there should be any water down here. Not to mention,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: there's no origin for this oily substance, and no one's
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: been in the house for the past two weeks, so
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: we can't even account for this. By saying that one
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: the family members might have spilled something. And so, even
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: though it's not written into the report that they were
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: scared or that they were considering this could be beyond
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: rational explanation, it's clear from what happens next that everybody
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: there was ready to explore the idea that something was
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: happening underneath the steps, because now the families claim there's
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: been something crawling out of there and walking up the
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: stairs at night, you have this strange, oily substance coming
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: from the underside of the stairs. You have the white
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: and the green apparition inside of the pictures. Father Imagino
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: suggested that if there was a some sort of demonic
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: possession happening in the house, that there's a good chance
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: they would find things underneath the steps that were tied
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: to the family. And so they decide they're going to
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: dig up the dirt underneath the steps, and so Gruscub
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: begins digging into this dirt patch under the steps, and
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: he makes it about two feet down, and he finds
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: a press on pink fingernail. He also finds women's underwear,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: and as he keeps digging, he finds a political pin
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: like for your T shirt He also finds the lid
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: to one of the cooking pots from upstairs. He continues
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: to dig and he finds some trash and miscellaneous papers,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: and it dawns on the group that someone or something
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: is leaving the basement, going into the main section of
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: the house, taking things from the family, going back downstairs,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: going underneath the steps and burying them, and probably has
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: been for some time, and so at some point they
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: stopped being able to dig any farther. The soil was
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: too hard, so they put the soil back and decide
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: to leave the house. As they're leaving the house, Rosa
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: is the last one to leave, and she actually says, hey,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: come over here, and she's standing in that screened in
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: porch and she's looking up at the window blinds on
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: the windowlines in the house. Is that same or it
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: appeared to be the same oily substance trickling down the
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: blinds that match the description of what father Magino had
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: said he had seen when he was visiting the family
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: before and saw liquid coming down the blinds. And so
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: the officers reacted to this by saying, Rosa, did you
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: do this? Are you responsible for putting this liquid on
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: the blinds, and she said, no, there was no clear
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: source for this liquid. There was no leak, there's nothing,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: And so Lieutenant Rusco wipes the liquid off of the
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: blinds and tells everyone to leave the house for twenty
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: five minutes. They waited, and then they went back inside
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: to see if there was going to be liquid there,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: and there was. Then Father Magineo would say that after
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: that first time he was there and he saw the
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: liquid dripping down, he did some research and it's very
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: common over the history of time that if there's any
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: sort of demonic possession in a house, that liquids will
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: ooze from different areas in the house. And it's this
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: oily substance that matches the description of what they just saw.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: At this point, Lieutenant Gruska and the police tell everyone
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: to vacate the premise. They lock it up, and they leave,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: and that is the end of the police report. Although
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: not included in this police where, I pulled all of
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: the story from Charles Austin, who was the other officer
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: who was in the basement with Lieutenant Gruzca when they
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: were taking pictures underneath the steps and they heard that
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: voice on the recorder. Well, Charles Austin actually worked for
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: another police department, the Hammond Police Department, and he took
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: some pictures of the outside of this house during the
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: time that no one was staying at the house, and
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: one of the official police pictures shows a shadowy figure
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: standing in the screened in porch of this house, right
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: near where that liquid was dripping down the blinds. In
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: twenty fourteen, Zach Bagon's who's a popular paranormal investigator. He
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: hosts the show Ghost Adventures. He purchased the Demon House
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: and filmed a documentary that he called The Demon House
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: and you can check that out for yourself. And he
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: demolished the house in twenty sixteen. So I'd love to
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: get your opinion on this story, because I told it
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: based on information that was available in official police documentation.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: Now that doesn't mean that it was paranormal, that this
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: house was haunted, that there were demons there, but it
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: at least makes you wonder what was really happening in
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: that house. If you enjoyed this story, then please if
