Gary Haunted House
The Gary Haunted House is a small three bedroom home located on Carolina Street in Gary, Indiana. The house rose to fame in 2012 for its many reports of paranormal activity by previous owners, Gary Police Department, Department of Child Services, and by several doctors and nurses as well. The home has over 800 pages of reports of odd occurrences that has happened in the house.

Owners
The house was previously owned by a man named Charles Reed. He claimed to not have experienced any paranormal activity and neither has the attendant who lived in the house before its last owner, Latoya Ammons.

Since Latoya Ammons lived in the house, the paranormal activity began to take off. Ammons, her mother, and her three children all experienced demonic activity in the house, such as wet foot prints on the walls, crosses turned upside down, and actual demonic possession. The family has now moved out and is currently residing in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Most recently, the lead investigator/co-founder of the Travel Channel television series Ghost Adventures Zak Bagans, purchased the Gary home. Bagans purchased the home January 29, 2014 for $35,000. He explains that he plans on actually living in the house to document any paranormal experience that he has.

Reports
Some supernatural reports that Latoya Ammons and her family claimed having while living in the house was that all three of her children, ages 7, 9, and 12 had been possessed by some demonic being. Ammons reported that her kids' eyes bulged, evil smiles would spread across their faces, their eyes rolled in the back of their heads, and their voices would unnaturally deepen. Fresh bruises would appear on the children every morning. Ammons once hired a clairvoyant, in which the clairvoyant explained to her that the house contained over 200 demons.

Eventually, their teachers informed the Departmennt of Child Services about the bruises and the amount of days the students missed. Ammons claimed that she was not responsible bruises on her children. Case manager Valerie Washington was assigned to the case to evaluate the children, in which she described that the youngest child growled at her.

Because of the children's strange behavior, Latoya Ammons was questioned and evaluated by the hospital's psychiatrist. They believed that if Ammons was suffering from a mental illness, then she may be the one encouraging her children to act out in such a way. The psychiatrist later revealed that Ammons was of "sound mind."

Caseworkers, police officers, priests, and hospital staff are among those who say that the house is indeed haunted. They can attest to the sightings of the Ammons kids levitating, being thrown across the room, and walking up walls. Valerie Washington, as well as Willie Lee Walker reported that Ammons' son began gliding up the wall and did a perfectly impossible flip over his grandmother.
