Stupid things religious people say

[Fake Messiah]

Art of the deal. Here's a way to get rich without much work.

You claim that your house is possessed, and then the gullible people, already brainwashed by religion, help you by hallucinating and lying for Jesus to expand the story and make it more believable so that you become a celebrity and they make a documentary and a Hollywood movie about you where the Oscar nominated actress, Glenn Close, plays you.

‘The Deliverance’ True Story: What to Know About Latoya Ammons and the 200 Demons House

The Deliverance was inspired by a “true story” of a woman named Latoya Ammons, who claimed her there was a demonic spirit that lived in her house that was possessing her and her three children, in Gary, Indiana in 2011. The Deliverance changed Latoya’s name to “Ebony” and moved the story to Pittsburgh. But many of the details in the film came from Ammons’ testimony. According to the movie’s credits, the real Latoya Ammons served as an associate producer on The Deliverance.

Latoya Ammons became a local Indiana celebrity in 2014, when The Indy Star wrote an over-6,000-word feature on her so-called experience with demonic possession. As the article details, Ammons moved into a rental home on Carolina Street in Gary, Indiana in November 2011, with her three children (ages 7, 9, and 12) and her mother, Rosa Campbell.

For the first few months, according to Ammons and Campbell, they heard strange noises in the house and battled a “not normal” amount of houseflies. In March, mother and daughter claimed they witnessed Ammons’ 12-year-old daughter levitating above the bed. Ammons covered her house in religious iconography. But then, she claims, things got worse. She claimed her kids “eyes bulged, evil smiles crossed their faces, and their voices deepened,” and therefore must be possessed by demons, and not just kids being weird. She said her youngest boy “sat in a closet talking to a boy that no one else could see.”

The DCS caseworker and a nurse took the 9-year-old boy into an examination room. The DCS report claimed the boy “walked backward up a wall to the ceiling. He then flipped over Campbell, landing on his feet.” The nurse, Willie Lee Walker, told The Star he had witnessed this. But The Star also noted that Walker “said he previously believed in demons and spirits.”

On May 10, 2012, a priest—Rev. Michael Maginot—performed a minor exorcism on the house and on Ammons. A month later, he performed three major exorcisms on Ammons at his church. Ammons and her family left the house in Gary and moved to Indianapolis, where, apparently, they are no longer plagued by demons.

It’s true that the “200 demons house” on Carolina Street in Gary, Indiana became something of a local ghost story.

In 2016, a “ghost hunter” TV personality, Zak Bagans, had the house demolished as part of his 2018 documentary, Demon House, a film that the Los Angeles Times called “hooey.” But if you’re interested, you can stream Demon House on Amazon Prime. Bagans bought the house in 2014, shortly after the initial Indy Star feature was published.
