Send for a Priest: Three Houses With Something Inside

Latoya Ammons and her family endured intense paranormal experiences in a haunted house on Carolina Street, Indiana, where they reported unexplained noises, shadow figures, and physical phenomena like levitation. Children exhibited disturbing behaviors, including speaking in unnatural voices and describing violent attacks, prompting medical and social worker involvement. Despite various spiritual and medical interventions, the family concluded the house was possessed by malevolent spirits. A full exorcism by a priest eventually halted the manifestations, leading to the family’s relocation. Similarly, other haunted homes—like the Enfield, England house and the Sally House in Atchison, Kansas—demonstrated recurring paranormal events tied to tragic deaths, with investigations confirming physical evidence such as moving furniture, self-activating lights, and bodily injuries. These cases highlight how deeply rooted spiritual and historical trauma can manifest in real, observable ways, with multiple witnesses and experts validating the phenomena. Though skeptics exist, the consistency of evidence across independent investigations supports the reality of these hauntings. The stories serve as powerful reminders of how unresolved trauma and environmental factors can shape human experience.

"Let's see if you want to see it." Gather round, this happened. Latoya Ammons was on the phone with a Clara Voient. Her family's house was haunted and she was looking for help from anyone who would listen. The Clara Voient gave the same advice as everyone else. Their best hope was, move. Latoya was running out of options. She bleached the house, drew crosses on the doors of windows and oil, burned sage and sulfur, read Bible verses, set up religious altars, finally the haunting stopped, and the family thought they were safe. But that's when the demons came from the children. It started in November of 2011. Latoya Ammons moved her mother and three children into the house she rented at 3860 Carolina Street in Gary, Indiana. It was a quiet block, a ordinary house, but it wasn't long before they noticed something was off. The house had a screened in porch, and even though it was the middle of winter, it was filled with large black flies. Horse flies. They had an infestation. No matter how many they killed, the flies kept coming back. Inside the house, Latoya and her mother, Rosa Campbell, started hearing strange noises. Dogs barking, footsteps on the basement stairs, a loud bang on the basement door, then it sounded like the door was opening, but when they checked, nobody was there. The sounds continued, even when the door was locked. But soon it wasn't just sounds. Latoya noticed shadowy figures moving through a house. One came out of her closet, then Rosa saw a man pacing around the living room. At the time she jumped up to see what was, there was nothing there except some wet boot prints. No one could explain where they came from. The house was haunted, but life went on, the family did the best they could to deal with it. Until one night, around two o'clock in the morning, everyone in the house was up late morning at the death of a loved one. Latoya's 12 year old daughter was in her grandmother's room with a friend. When Latoya went back to check on them, she started screaming. Rosa ran a meter, and both Luna watched, as the 12 year old, completely unconscious, began to levitate. Soon other people in the house rushed in and witnessed it too. They circled around her and started to pray. It stopped. The girl was lowered back onto the bed. When she woke up, she had no memory of levitating, but the adults who witnessed it would not be able to forget. Several refused to ever return to the house. Things were escalating. They could no longer ignore right off the paranormal experiences. There was a problem with the house on Carolina Street, and they needed outside help to fix it. That's when Latoya started making phone calls. Most churches didn't want to hear her story. When a few did, Latoya followed their advice immediately. Too clairvoyant she spoke to confirmed the house was possessed. They felt the presence of over 200 different demons. And they were getting bolder. The forces started to control the family, even outside the house. This year my shopping list had everyone on it. My secret Santa, my wife, my mom, even my cats got a little something. Three days before Christmas I checked my list. It was blank. So I finally sat down and fixed that problem on Zenny.

They started speaking in deep voices that weren't their own, their eyes bulged out, their smiles were dark and twisted, and they physically fought each other. They talked about things children shouldn't know. The seven-year-old described the feeling of being killed. The same 12-year-old who'd been felt levitating talked about being held down and choked by forces she couldn't see. The kids were getting the worst of it, but Latoya felt the effects too. She was weak and light-headed and she could feel a dark force around her. Rosa was the only family member unaffected physically. She said that she was protected from the demons. From birth, she had a guardian watching over her, keeping evil from latching onto her. It didn't stop her from witnessing what was having to her daughter and grandchildren and just protected her. Rosa tried to pray over them, then annoying them with oil during the worst episodes. They weren't. Even as her grandchildren called out to her for help, Rosa knew they needed to do more. None of the advice the spiritual leaders gave them worked for any longer than a couple of days. "And I told them I noticed that they're going to make it look like for me or her to need children. So we're going to have to get some kind of play, some kind of way. We got it from this somebody that this is actually going on." In April, after around six months in the house, Latoya told her family doctor what was going on. She said there were demons in their home that were attacking the children. She said they sometimes forced the children to attack each other until they passed out. The doctor made notes during the appointment. He described Latoya having hallucinations and illusions that he sent the family to the emergency room. At the hospital, Latoya repeated her story to medical staff. Once she told the children they could tell the truth, they described ghosts in their house that talked to them, sometimes attacked them. A social worker was called in to speak with the family. After the social worker arrived, the nine-year-old boy became angry. Witnesses remember him saying, "It's time to die." The social worker's official report described what happened next. The child walked up the wall as if he were walking on the floor and did a flip over the grandmother. "This boy was in one of the emergency room areas. He was kind of growling and his grandmother was holding his hands and trying to coax them back. All of a sudden, she was backing him up toward the wall and then he started to walk up the wall backwards and did a flip over her head." Afterwards, a doctor who hadn't seen the event asked the child if he would do it again. The child said he didn't do it and couldn't do it. He stood up and tried and it didn't work. The department of child services dug deeper into the family and found the kids had missed a lot of school. Latoya explained because it was usually they got sick after major events in the house. DCS recommended counseling for the family. Latoya would have supervised visits with the children until everything was resolved. DCS also thought an environmental problem like carbon monoxide leak could explain some of the experiences. DCS and the police wanted to tour the house for themselves, but Latoya knew that wouldn't fix anything. She needed to remove the evil forces from the house. She finally had witnesses outside her family, a chaplain from the hospital reached out to a priest and it was time to perform an exorcism. Reverend Michael Maginel wasn't an exorcist. The police at St. Stephen, Marta Parrish and Maravil, Indiana had never performed one before the chaplain called him on behalf of the Amiens family. When he heard what happened at the hospital, he spoke with the family and arranged to meet at the house. He ended up making multiple trips. Father Michael saw lights flickering, blinds moving for no reason. The police joined him, curious to see for themselves. The priest interviewed Latoya and Rosa. After speaking to them for a few hours, he touched Latoya with a crucifix. The body started convulsing. He was possessed. Father Michael knew he was going to have to perform a full exorcism. But before that, he needed to get permission from the church. He did a blessing on the house and promised to come back after he spoke to his bishop. Meanwhile, the police and social workers had their own experiences while searching the house. The blinds that moved on their own started dripping oil. Police closed off the room what was happening and to make sure no one was planting it. When they came back, more oil had appeared on its own. They searched the basement. They found the altars Latoya put there and salt that she set down to stop the demons. The cops took pictures on their iPhones. One taken on the stairs came out with a cloudy image of a face in the corner. Another had a green figure that looked like a woman. Nothing was there when they took the pictures. After leaving the house, police captain Charles Austin's police radio malfunctioned. His garage door wouldn't open. The driver's seat on his personal car started moving back and forth on its own. One of these incidents could be explained. Captain Austin thought the story of the demon house was one of the strangest things he'd heard in his time in the force. But after seeing the house and his own experiences afterwards, he came back. confirmed that he is a believer. The social worker searched the house, felt a strange feeling in her pinky finger while she was there. She looked down and it was turning white. She felt like it was broken and she started having a panic attack. After she left, her problems got worse. She got into a series of accidents all within a month of her visit. Third degree burns from a motorcycle, broken ribs, a broken hand, a broken ankle. Whatever was in that house, stuck with her. The father Michael scheduled the exorcism for June after getting permission from the church. He performed three major exorcisms on Latoya. She convulsed as he prayed over her. She had nightmares. Father Michael believed there was more than one demon possessing her. They looked up the names of the demons that lined up with the family's experiences. Biel's above, the Lord of Flies, another that went after the children. Father Michael used their names in the exorcisms and watched as Latoya's body responded. After one final exorcism, Latoya stopped having nightmares. She no longer convulsed. The exorcism worked. The children were evaluated and found to have no mental disorders. DCS recommended Latoya stopped speaking to them about demons and let them take responsibility for their own actions. They thought the whole family was indoctrinated to believe that demons were to blame. - Amiens can actually possess you, use you. But they also recommended the family leave the house on Carolina Street. The priest recommended the same thing. Latoya finally took the advice. She regained custody for children and moved them all to Indianapolis. She called Father Michael months later to thank him. The possessions had stopped and the children were doing well. Eventually, the house was purchased by ghost hunter Zach Baggins. He met a documentary on the strange events inside it. In 2016, he had asked demolished. No one could say for sure what was inside the demon house of Gary Indiana. But now that it's gone, no other families can be victims of it. So look, something quiet happened this week that most people missed. A former CFTC chair, the guy who used to regulate derivatives, went on record and what he said should stop he called. Congress banned a central bank digital currency. The fed swore it wasn't building one. This guy said, quote, that does not mean we're not looking at how to create one. Project Agura, look it up. Meaning soon every account you own becomes a switch somebody else controls. And they've been telling you why they're going to want to flip it. National debt just crossed $40 trillion interest alone over a trillion a year. Bigger than Medicare and Medicaid combined. There's one way out of that math and you already know what it is. China's central bank has bought gold 21 months in a row. JPMorgan is telling clients gold hit $6,000 by year end. This isn't a prediction anymore. It's already happening. That's why I trust golden crest metals. Physical gold and silver you hold in your hand. It can't be hacked, can't be printed, can't be turned off.

This happened. Janet Hodgson was 12 years old when she started speaking in a man's voice. It was low and gruff, nothing like her own. The family called it The Voice. And the voice said its name was Bill Wilkins. Something was terrorizing the whole Hodgson family, a poltergeist. When paranormal investigators came to watch Janet, Bill cursed at them. Sometimes he barred and growled like an animal. Then he told them how he died. They checked his story and every detail lined up. Bill Wilkins lived and died in that house. And now he was talking for Janet. It started at the end of August 1977. Peggy Hodgson lived with her four kids at 284 Green Street in Enfield, England. It was a three bedroom house built in the 1920s. The family got along with the neighbors and the kids were happy and healthy. Then one night, Janet and one of her brothers felt their beds shaking. Their mom heard them still awake and came into settle them down. When they told her the beds moved on their own, she didn't believe them. The next night, Janet and her brother heard a shuffling sound. It sounded like something dragging across the floor. Peggy came in again. The kids thought a chair was making the noise so she took it out of the room and shut off the light. The shuffling started again. Then came four knocks on the wall. Peggy figured it was the neighbors. Then she watched a heavy dresser slide out of the kids' room and into the hallway. She froze. None of her kids could have moved it. It was too heavy and they were still in their beds, just as frozen as she was. She pushed the dresser back into the room. It slid out again. When she pushed it a second time, she felt something on the other side pushing back and it was stronger than she was. Now Peggy was scared. She grabbed her kids and ran to the neighbors. She thought somebody was hiding in her house. The neighbors came back with them and they heard the knocks too. And the knocks weren't in one room. They followed everyone through the whole house. Now the neighbors were scared too, they called the police. Two officers walked through the house. While they were there, a chair slid three or four feet across the living room floor and nobody touched it. The police didn't know what they saw, but they were sure nobody else was in the house. Nobody living anyway. There was nothing else they could do, so they left. That night the family slept together in the living room. The knocking kept going. Toys flew across the room. Peggy needed help. On September 4th, a friend called the Daily Mirror and asked them to find her an expert. A reporter and a photographer came to the house. They saw it happen for themselves. Then they told Peggy who she really needed, the Society for Psychical Research. Pull up your photos and scroll back. Wedding, beach trip, last year's holiday pick.

The Society for Psychical Research was the first group of its kind. It was founded in 1882 to study psychic and paranormal events like science. So, our other Conan Doyle and Seguin Freud were both members. The SPR sent one of its investigators, Maurice Gross. Later, another investigator, Guy Playfair, joined them at the house. Playfair figured they'd be there about eight weeks. They stayed two years. Over those two years, marbles and legal pieces flew through the air on their own. One hit someone in the head hard enough to leave a bruise for days. Doors opened by themselves, furniture flew across rooms. Before the investigation even started, 10 people had already seen it. That list grew with every SPR member who came through the house. Reporters and photographers set up recording equipment. They interviewed the family, but mostly, they watched. Their equipment kept failing. Fully charged lights died. Paperquarters broke down. Metal spoons bent in half. An iron frame tore off the wall around the fireplace by couch rows off the floor. And the whole time, something knocked and banged inside the walls. It all centered on Janet. It started in her bedroom. One night, the investigators watched her levitate. Another night, a curtain wrapped itself around her and choked her. To play fair and gross, it was a textbook poltergeist. Cases like this go back at least 1,500 years. Poltergeists knock on walls and floors. They throw things, flip chairs and tables, and set things on fire. And sometimes, they claim to be the dead. Enfield ran longer than most, but it followed the pattern. For a few months, the same things happened over and over. Then in December, they are the voice. Janet started speaking as Bill Wiggins. I want you to tell me, whether you remember. The voice was deep and rough, and it came out of its 12-year-old girl. The investigators brought in experts to test Janet, speech therapists couldn't explain it. A ventriloquist said she might be pushing the sound up from her diaphragm. Gross didn't buy it. He offered 500 pounds to any kid who can do that voice, and he raised it to a thousand. Nobody came forward. Around the time Bill showed up, the family's three pets died, two goldfish and a bird. The investigators saw it as the poltergeist lashing out, because Janet was the one who took care of the fish. They asked Bill about it. Through the 12-year-old girl, he took the credit. He said, "I've done that." When play fair and gross finally left, they had 140 hours of recordings. They had eyewitnesses. They tested Janet with experts and even hypnotized her. They were sure it was a real poltergeist. But not everyone in the SPR agreed, and one of them was coming to the house. A need of Gregory was a psychologist who studied the paranormal for the SPR. She visited the house, and she came away calling the whole thing hoax. She said she caught Janet faking. There was footage of Janet bending spoons in an iron bar by hand, and Gregory said Janet acted differently when she didn't know the investigators were watching. She thought the girl just liked to act. Bill's deep voice included. Gross and play fair never denied the girls played tricks. They said of course they did, there were kids, but it was nothing compared to the real thing. Every time the girls tried something, they got caught, and they admitted it right away. While the investigation was still going, reporters offered it witnesses money to say it was fake, and nobody took it. The neighbors sign statement saying it was real. Peggy Hodgson stayed in that house until she died, long after her kids moved out. The next family felt something in the house too. When they found out what happened there, they left. They lasted two months. Just later, Janet admitted she faked a few things. Sometimes visitors came and nothing happened, and she didn't want to let them down. When someone asked how much she faked, she said about 2%. She said the rest was real. Something was in that house in 1977, and ever since then, people have been trying to debunk it. They're still trying. Okay, I'll be honest. The first time I put my work online, I felt it in my stomach. Publishing was the easy part. Do I wish I'd started soon or sure? Probably. The website though? That's what I kept putting off. I figured it'd cost a fortune and eat up a month that I don't have. And then there's the list, a domain, a website, email, marketing tools. For things, for logins, for passwords, you'll absolutely forget. At some point, you need to spreadsheet just to track your logins for this spreadsheet. Turns out Hostinger puts all that under one account. No stitching files, subscriptions together, no juggling logins, no wondering if any of it talks to each other. It just does. So naturally, I played with her AI builder, typed in something like a moody, mysterious portfolio, because obviously, and a few minutes later, there was. No coding, no designer, no developer. Just one place for my work, my links, whatever I wanted people to actually find. And it doesn't stop when she had published. The AI acts like built-in specialists, a CEO, web copy, email marketing, covered. Plan start at $3 a month, $3, not $3,000. Already got a site? Well, migrating over takes minutes, not months.

Deliving room was packed with a television crew. Every eye and every camera was on Tony, waiting. A cut opened on his face. Blood ran down his chin while everyone watched. Nobody saw what cut him. Nobody touched him. The cut just appeared, exactly the way Tony said it. Tony and his wife Deborah lived in a haunted house. Now there was proof. They called it the Sally House, and whatever lived there, wanted Tony gone. Deborah Pickman was always into the paranormal, and was part of what made her different from the rest of her family. Ever since she was a kid, she wanted to see a ghost for herself. Her husband Tony didn't. He saw a ghost in his bedroom when he was a kid, and scared him so badly that he stayed out of that room as much as he could, even as an adult. In 1992, Deborah found out she was pregnant. The couple got married soon after, and rented a house in the small town of Atchison, Kansas. It was the oldest house in the block, and it was a little rundown, but it had everything they needed. There was a big yard for the baby to play in, and a huge kitchen. They moved in on New Year's Eve. At first everything was perfect. They started getting the house ready for the baby, then around Valentine's Day, the light came on. The pickpins were curled up on the couch watching TV when the light above them just switched on by itself. It glowed dim at first. A few minutes later it jumped to full brightness. It happened again the next night, and the night after that. They changed the bulb and checked the light switch. They even called it an electrician. Nobody could find the problem. Then the animals changed. Their dog barked like crazy, but only in the upstairs bedroom they planned to use as an nursery. When she wasn't barking, she growled and buried her teeth at the empty room. She was always a calm, friendly dog before that. One night the two of them were asleep on the downstairs couch when a scream woke Deborah. Then she heard someone more something, compounding downstairs. She was barely awake when something heavy slammed into her. She started screaming. Whatever it was, it was on top of her. The screams woke Tony, and he found his very pregnant wife in a panic. It took a few minutes for her to calm down enough to tell him what happened. They searched the house and found nothing out of place, so Deborah blamed the cats. One of them could have made that scream. One of them could have jumped on her. When they found the cats, they were skittish and panicked. Deborah never saw them like that before, and she didn't want to think about what could scare them badly enough to make that sound. The oven timer went off on its own, buzzing loudly when nobody had been in the kitchen for hours. The phone calls dropped whenever they walked into the nursery. They replaced the phone's batteries, but it didn't help. After Deborah gave birth, they moved their son into the nursery. But every time they put him down in his crib, he woke up screaming, no matter how peacefully he was sleeping. Then the toy above the crib turned on by itself. It freaked Tony out, but they were young parents exhausted and running on no sleep. They added it to the list of strange things about this house. On one day, Tony and Deborah walked into the nursery and found their son's toys arranged in a circle on the floor. Neither of them did that. They put the toys away and turned off the light. A few minutes later, the light was back on. When they went back in, a stuffed animal was on the floor again. That was enough. They moved the baby out of that room. The pigments were scared. They brought a psychic to the house. She said she felt the spirit of a little girl, Sally. She told them to treat Sally like a member of the family. Sally was just a little girl who wanted attention. Deborah agreed. Tony didn't. Whatever was in that house felt dark to him and he didn't want to welcome it. Then scratches started showing up on his body. Some blood, some turned into welts, he heard whispers, then he heard something scratching inside the wall. Blisters appeared on his wrist in the shape of fingerprints. They called the psychic back. This time she told them Sally wasn't alone. There was an older woman in the house, too. If the pigments were going to stop them, they needed to know where these spirits came from, so they were looking. Long before Deborah and Tony moved in, the house belonged to the Finney family. In 1867 and 1871, Michael Finney bought land in Atchison and built his family a home on it. His brother bought the lot next door and built a house there, too. When Michael died, the house went to his son, Dr. Charles Finney. He ran his medical practice out of the house. In the early 1900s, Finney answered his door to a mother and her six-six-year-old daughter. The little girl was Sally and she had a terrible stomach ache. It was appendicitis. From the pain she was in, Finney could tell her appendix was about to burst. They were running out of time. He put her on his operating table and gave her anesthesia, but he couldn't wait for it to take effect. He started the emergency surgery right away. Sally screamed as the doctor cut into her, racing to save her life. He wasn't fast enough. Sally died on Dr. Finney's table. 90 years later, people in Atchison said her spirit was still trapped in that house. She couldn't leave and she tormented anyone who dared to live where she died. Sally's wasn't the only horrible death tied to the Finneys. The house next door, the one Finney's uncle built, went to Johanna Barnes. She was a single mother of three and pregnant with a fourth. In the 1890s, she was committed to a mental hospital. Her neighbors said she was violently insane. In 1899, she gave birth to her fourth child, Frank. She was released from the hospital under Dr. Finney's care. She moved back into the house next door to the Sally House with her kids. On September 24, 1906, Johanna turned on the gas center downstairs room. Then she lay down with Frank and waited. The gas filled the room, Johanna meant to kill them both. But when they were found, Johanna was revived. Frank wasn't. Back in the Sally House, around the time the scratches and blisters started, Tony saw a woman. She was an apparition. To anyone who knew the Finney history, she was Johanna, blaming herself and everyone else for her son's death. Tony believed she was one of the spirits attacking him. Now the pickmins knew what was tormenting them, but they had no idea how to stop it. So that's when they brought in a film crew. In 1994, the paranormal TV show siding sent a crew to the Sally House. The pickmins were afraid of what people would think about them living in a haunted house, so they told their story under fake names. As soon as the crew arrived, they felt cold spots all through the house. They brought in trained dogs. Every one of them refused to go into the upstairs nursery. The investigators set up cameras to document the scratches on Tony's body. They searched him before and after he walked into a room, make sure he wasn't doing it to himself. Then they watched as scratches appeared on his chest, his back, and even his face. On one visit, an investigator stayed in the house for 14 hours. In that time, he saw 11 separate attacks on Tony. Pictures flipped upside down on the wall. The TV turned itself on. Kids' toys switched on by themselves. After the first episode aired across the country, the show heard from a woman who rented the house before the pickmins. When her family lived there, her five-year-old daughter had an imaginary friend. Whenever her daughter got in trouble, she blamed the friend. The friend's name was Sally. The crew was convinced, so were the pickmins, but they stayed. They never still believed they needed to be kind to Sally. She felt almost like a mother to the girl. That ended in October 1994. The scratches kept coming. The voices Tony heard got louder. Then they started giving him orders. One night, Tony blacked out. When he came to, a stray cat was dead, and he was the one holding the knife. Soon after, one of the entities turned down the stairs hard enough to break the banister. Debra finally agreed it was time to leave. They moved out. They only came back months later when the sightings crew returned for an update. Once again, scratches appeared on Tony, and the camera caught it. The pickmins never lived in the Sally House again, but the house has been on ghost hunting shows on TV and online ever since. It's one of the most haunted homes in America. And if you're ever in Atchison, Kansas, you can even book a night there. But be warned, if Sally doesn't want you there, she won't keep it a secret for long.

Summary:

Latoya Ammons and her family endured intense paranormal experiences in a haunted house on Carolina Street, Indiana, where they reported unexplained noises, shadow figures, and physical phenomena like levitation. Children exhibited disturbing behaviors, including speaking in unnatural voices and describing violent attacks, prompting medical and social worker involvement. Despite various spiritual and medical interventions, the family concluded the house was possessed by malevolent spirits.

A full exorcism by a priest eventually halted the manifestations, leading to the family’s relocation. Similarly, other haunted homes—like the Enfield, England house and the Sally House in Atchison, Kansas—demonstrated recurring paranormal events tied to tragic deaths, with investigations confirming physical evidence such as moving furniture, self-activating lights, and bodily injuries. These cases highlight how deeply rooted spiritual and historical trauma can manifest in real, observable ways, with multiple witnesses and experts validating the phenomena.

Though skeptics exist, the consistency of evidence across independent investigations supports the reality of these hauntings. The stories serve as powerful reminders of how unresolved trauma and environmental factors can shape human experience.
