Police captain confirms children 'possessed by demons'

A US police captain says he believed a story about a woman who claimed her children were possessed by demons.
Latoya Ammons, from Indiana, said her three children walked up walls, levitated and spoke in voices.

Official reports filed in 2012 backed up her claims, with psychologists stating that they saw the nine-year-old child speak in "different deep voices" and walk "up the wall backwards".
"He flipped over and landed on his feet," they added.

Gary Police Captain Charles Austin, who has more than 35 years of experience, said he had been convinced by the story.
According to a local newspaper, the Indianapolis Star, he described himself as a "believer" after visiting the house and interviewing Ms Ammons and her family.

Official Indiana state documents detail more events, apparently witnessed by medical experts and those outside the family.
The children's names were removed from the papers to protect their identities.

"Medical staff reported they observed the children and heard the seven-year-old making growling noises and his eyes rolled into the back of his head.
"They observed [name blank] lifted and thrown into the wall with nobody touching him."

The report also detailed the time when the seven-year-old "walked up the wall" in front of a number of medical professionals.
"[Name blank] began to have a weird smile on his face and he charged at the grandmother's stomach and head butted her several times until she grabbed his hands and started praying.
"[He] was speaking in a different deep voice saying 'It's time to die,' 'l will kill you,' and staring around the room.

"[He] had the weird grin on his face and began to walk backwards while the grandmother was holding his hand and he walked up the wall backwards while holding the grandmother's hand and he never let go.
"He flipped over and landed on his feet in front of the grandmother and sat down in the chair."

(continued, it's all happening over in Indiana ain't it?)

I would never have believed a mere police lieutenant...

I've tried to walk up a wall whilst pizzed ten sheets to the wind. Rest assured it doesn't work. Gravity remains sober.

Mushrooms might do the trick, if my 70's memories are any guide...




























No, they're not a guide to anything other than neural firing as white noise...

It's amazing (once again) how there is no video evidence of these mysterious happenings. I think devils (and aliens, and ghosts etc) are naturally camera shy..

You'd think that with so many witnesses, at least one of them would have whipped out a phone or pocket camera and filmed the events. The result would have made it on youtube in no time. I call bullshit.

Well, maybe they actually are. If they don't want the photos taken, they would make sure not to manifest when there's a camera around. They are, after all, demons.

Same applies to God or Mary or any other religious apparition, if they have "supernatural" powers why wouldn't they be able to pick and choose when and where to manifest and pick places without video cameras?

Of course if the police captain had produced a 4K high-definition 3D video of the event, you'd just say it was movie magic.

Seth as a point. Supernatural stuff happened far more frequently before the invention of the camera.

It's tough being a supernatural being with a egoistic need for worship in an age of nearly ubiquitous video surveillance. Maybe that's why Catholic miracles seem to happen a lot in third-world shitholes where they don't have indoor toilets, much less video cameras.

A wicked sense of humor perhaps? Nobody ever said gods have to be rational, friendly, kind, or consistent. Just think of Loki....

Well, parts of the Navajo reservation perhaps. Most everybody else has indoor plumbing these days.

Or Nigeria, or Zimbabwe, or Papua-New Guinea...
