The Ammons Haunting: Inside Indiana’s Infamous Demon House | 489

About this episode

The episode explores the infamous Ammons Haunting and the events surrounding the Demon House in Indiana.

A rental house in Gary, Indiana. Black flies in the dead of winter. Children behaving... strangely. A boy allegedly walking backward up a hospital wall. Police reports. Child Protective Services removing the kids. A Catholic priest performing blessings. And eventually, Zak Bagans buying the house, investigating it, and bulldozing it into history. Join us as we dive headfirst into the infamous Ammons Haunting, better known as the Demon House. Was this a genuine case of demonic infestation escalating toward possession, or a perfect storm of fear, family stress, bad plumbing, and media chaos? We break down the police reports, DCS findings, church involvement, the famous “wall-walking” hospital incident, and how Demon House turned one Gary rental into paranormal legend. Because this week we set out to prove nothing says “haunted” quite like demons… and bureaucratic paperwork… on Hysteria 51!
