A mother of three claims demons caused her 12-year-old daughter to levitate and her 9-year-old son to walk on a hospital ceiling which some medical personnel and police officials are standing beside, according to a shocking report.
For Latoya Ammons, the late night footsteps, the creaking of a door and wet footprints left by a shadowy male figure through her living room were child’s play when that was all her family had to endure.
But then things turned violent.
It was March 10, 2012 — four months after her family moved into a three-bedroom rental in Gary, Indiana — that Ammons’ saw her daughter floating above her bed, as the Indy Star reports.
It was first a scream that alerted her grandmother, Rosa Campbell, to the girl’s bedroom around 2 a.m. that night.
“I thought, ‘What’s going on?’” Campbell recalled to the Star. “‘Why is this happening?’”
When the girl fell back onto the bed, she gained consciousness but said she had no memory of what had happened.
Two clairvoyants told them the house was filled with more than 200 demons and their church recommended pouring olive oil on Ammons’ children’s hands and feet, with smeared crosses along their foreheads, as a form of protection.
At one clairvoyant’s recommendation, the frightened mother created an altar in her basement, composed of a white candle and a state of Mary, Joseph and Jesus. After all, down there, beneath the staircase leading up to her kitchen, is where they felt that these terrifying occurrences started.

She and a friend prayed over the altar while filling the area with smoke in an attempt to spiritually purify the home, she told The Star.
For three days nothing happened. And then Ammons and her children began acting out.
Her youngest, a 7-year-old boy, she described finding one day inside a closet while allegedly talking to a boy only he could see.

Rosa Campbell, Latoya Ammons’ mother, claims to have seen her 12-year-old granddaughter levitate over her bed, a claim backed by other witnesses.
When asked what they were talking about, her son allegedly told her that the child was describing what it’s like to be killed.
Not long after that she claims her youngest flew out of a bathroom and her 12-year-old daughter required stitches after being hit in the head with a headboard.
The girl told health care professionals that she sometimes felt like she was being choked. A voice would tell her that she’d never see her family again.
On April 19, 2012, the family went to see physician, Dr. Geoffrey Onyeukwu, whose encounter with the children would be one he says he’ll never forget.
“Twenty years, and I’ve never heard anything like that in my life,” he told the Star of their first meeting after the peculiar behavior began. “I was scared myself when I walked into the room.”
According to a report by the Department of Children Services obtained by The Star, one of the boys began cursing at Onyeukwu in a demonic voice. He and his brother then abruptly passed out and wouldn’t come to.

The police were called. There in a hospital, when both children woke, the youngest began screaming and violently trashing about.
It took five men to hold the 7-year-old boy down, Campbell told The Star.
So unusual and unexplainable was the children’s behavior that doctors feared that their mother was suffering a mental illness and possibly encouraging the children’s wild behavior.
Ammons was reported to DCS for possible child abuse but when she was evaluated by a hospital psychiatrist she was found to be of “sound mind.”
DCS family case manager Valerie Washington was then called in to evaluate the children. When she met them, the youngest, as she reported, started to growl and flash his teeth at her. His eyes then rolled back into his head.
That was just the beginning.

Reverend Mike Maginot, who performed exorcisms on Latoya Ammons and her children, was contacted by a hospital’s chaplain a day after Ammons’ children were taken from her custody.
The 7-year-old lunged for his older brother and put his hands around his throat while saying in a voice not his own: “It’s time to die. I will kill you,” according to her report.
Once released from his brother’s grasp the 9-year-old allegedly started head-butting his grandmother.
Campbell took his hand and started to prey when the boy walked backward up a wall and onto the ceiling. Once there he flipped over his grandmother, whose hand he was still holding, and landed perfectly on his feet.

These are recounts according to not only Washington’s report with the DCS but Willie Lee Walker, a registered nurse, who was in the room with them.
“He walked up the wall, flipped over her and stood there,” Walker told The Star. “There’s no way he could’ve done that.”
Washington, in her report to police, described the boy as gliding.
In her utter terror she told police that she ran out of the room. She said Washington did too.
The 7-year-old boy stayed overnight in the hospital with Ammons while Campbell took the other two children to a relative’s for the night.
They returned the next day, which was the 7-year-old’s 8th birthday, but were greeted by the DCS who took all three children into custody.
On April 20, the following day, the hospital chaplain called Rev. Michael Maginot asking him to perform an exorcism on the 9-year-old boy.
The reverend agreed to interview the mother and grandmother at the home. During their meeting, a bathroom light bulb flickered, blinds in the kitchen swung, footprints appeared in the living room, as he told the Star.
After that Ammons and Campbell moved out to temporarily live with a relative, but less than a week later were called back for an afternoon inspection by the DCS.

Charles Reed, the landlord of the home, told the Indy Star that he never heard of demons in the home before Ammons moved in. Another resident has since moved in and they haven’t complained either.

Gary police Capt. Charles Austin accompanied the two women with Washington and another officer.
Austin told the Star that after that visit, he now not only believes in ghosts, but demons as well. He also vowed to never go back inside the house again.
While at the home police audio recorder malfunctioned, brand new batteries started to die, and on the audio collected and played back later an officer heard a voice whispering “hey,” according to the police reports obtained by the Star.
Photos taken in the home’s basement further appeared to show a cloudy image near the stairs. When enlarged it was described as resembling a human face.
A second green image allegedly resembled a female.
Before the end of the month a petition by the DCS for temporary wardship of the three children was granted by Lake Juvenile Court. The department argued the children having missed too much of school for what the mother argued were illnesses because of their home’s demons.
During their wardship the children were given psychological evaluations by separate psychologists. Each evaluation’s report concluded that the children’s behavior was reinforced by their mother or relatives.
In the meantime several exorcisms were performed on Ammons by Rev. Maginot.
By June, Ammons and her mother had moved back to Indianapolis and by November, the children were returned to their mother.
The DCS met with the family and in their assessment found “no demonic presences or spirits in the home.”
The owner of the home has since told the Star that they had never heard of such problems before the family moved in.
Another renter has since moved in. They say they haven’t heard of any complaints either.
