In January 2014, a strange article appeared in the Indianapolis Star about Latoya Ammons, an Indiana single mother of three who claimed that for more than a year, she and her children were besieged by demons in their rented home. Ammons claimed, among other things, that the house was constantly infested with black flies, the children were levitated from their beds, and her nine-year-son became possessed and walked up a wall backwards. And that was only the beginning; by the end of just one year in the house, the Ammons family claim they were terrorized by all manner of supernatural assaults, from ghostly apparitions to demonic entities.
Latoya Ammons’ story might well have gone unnoticed, had it not been for the surprising number of witnesses to the paranormal events, from family and friends to police officers and social workers. Still, Latoya was not without her critics or skeptics-some accused her of fabricating the story to get out of her lease, while others assumed she was simply delusional. Regardless of the explanation for the cause of the events, there’s no denying that Latoya Ammons story is one of the most terrifying paranormal experiences heard in decades.

My boyfriend is a police officer here and got to see the actual footage of the child crawling up the wall backwards. It's been years but we still talk about this case regularly. So glad the house was demolished

So the tenants of the house before and after these people didn't have any supernatural experiences, but this lady had run-ins with CPS before even moving into this house. What's more likely, a family with serious mental health and behavioural issues who is grifting to get out of paying their rent, or demons? It's a fun spooky story at face value, but in reality that's just a really sad story about these kids and their messed up home life.

This actually happened in 2011. Zak Bagans of ghost adventures actually bought the property, made a film/documentary and had the house demolished in 2014.
