00:18:02,689 --> 00:18:04,273
What do you mean things?
359
00:18:04,275 --> 00:18:05,524
What kind of things?
360
00:18:05,526 --> 00:18:09,028
[eerie creaking]
361
00:18:09,030 --> 00:18:10,780
We noticed when
we went in the basement,
362
00:18:10,782 --> 00:18:12,322
there's actually two doors.
363
00:18:12,324 --> 00:18:15,158
The one on the left that
actually goes to the room,
364
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:16,869
at various times
we were in the basement,
365
00:18:16,871 --> 00:18:18,245
it was in a different position,
366
00:18:18,247 --> 00:18:21,167
and neither one of us
had went into the room.
367
00:18:23,294 --> 00:18:25,168
I had an audio recording
368
00:18:25,170 --> 00:18:27,003
that I was walking
around the house,
369
00:18:27,005 --> 00:18:31,136
just making notes
or commenting on things.
370
00:18:32,387 --> 00:18:36,054
There was an unusual,
unidentifiable voice
371
00:18:36,056 --> 00:18:37,974
that appeared on that audio.
372
00:18:37,976 --> 00:18:40,726
They're burning stuff
all over the place here.
373
00:18:40,728 --> 00:18:42,270
That's where...
374
00:18:42,272 --> 00:18:45,567
[indistinct
background chatter]
375
00:18:47,776 --> 00:18:49,234
I'm surprised
the fire department
376
00:18:49,236 --> 00:18:50,861
hasn't been here.
377
00:18:50,863 --> 00:18:52,612
It sounds like "heys" to me.
378
00:18:52,614 --> 00:18:53,947
[indistinct whooshing]
379
00:18:53,949 --> 00:18:54,991
[camera shutter clicks]
380
00:18:54,993 --> 00:18:56,242
I'm surprised the...
381
00:18:56,244 --> 00:18:57,034
[tape rewinding]
382
00:18:57,036 --> 00:18:58,453
[indistinct whooshing]
383
00:18:58,455 --> 00:18:59,829
Did you hear that
with your own ears?
384
00:18:59,831 --> 00:19:00,996
When that happened that day,
385
00:19:00,998 --> 00:19:02,415
I did not hear any voice.
386
00:19:02,417 --> 00:19:05,083
I only heard it
on the recording.
387
00:19:05,085 --> 00:19:08,253
[indistinct whooshing]
388
00:19:08,255 --> 00:19:10,255
And I walked out of here
389
00:19:10,257 --> 00:19:12,050
and got in my unit,
squad car,
390
00:19:12,052 --> 00:19:15,221
and I drove approximately
a mile and a half away.
391
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,058
You pulled over, no?
392
00:19:20,060 --> 00:19:21,434
Right, I'm in
a gas station parking lot.
393
00:19:21,436 --> 00:19:23,436
And all of a sudden,
394
00:19:23,438 --> 00:19:29,817
the AM/FM radio in my car
changed and went to static.
395
00:19:29,819 --> 00:19:32,989
And it said,
"Who in there?"
396
00:19:34,407 --> 00:19:37,908
[crickets chirping]
397
00:19:37,910 --> 00:19:40,494
The home's previous owner
told me
398
00:19:40,496 --> 00:19:41,829
that other police officers
399
00:19:41,831 --> 00:19:43,330
had experienced things
in the house
400
00:19:43,332 --> 00:19:46,000
that had caused them
to quit their jobs
401
00:19:46,002 --> 00:19:48,127
and move away from the area.
402
00:19:48,129 --> 00:19:50,588
I have come
to the conclusion,
403
00:19:50,590 --> 00:19:52,631
because of everything
that had transpired
404
00:19:52,633 --> 00:19:54,425
and all the things
that I had witnessed
405
00:19:54,427 --> 00:19:55,885
and heard about,
406
00:19:55,887 --> 00:20:00,598
that it affected women
and children physically
407
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:04,851
and the stronger men
electronically.
408
00:20:04,853 --> 00:20:07,187
We set up another meeting
to come to this house.
409
00:20:07,189 --> 00:20:08,022
Who did?
410
00:20:08,024 --> 00:20:09,732
Myself, the other officers,
411
00:20:09,734 --> 00:20:11,400
Child Protective Services.
412
00:20:11,402 --> 00:20:13,485
The same CPS worker
from before?
413
00:20:13,487 --> 00:20:15,530
No, she wouldn't come back.
414
00:20:15,532 --> 00:20:16,363
Why?
415
00:20:16,365 --> 00:20:18,198
She was terrified.
416
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,910
Something was coming
from underneath those stairs
417
00:20:21,912 --> 00:20:27,626
that was causing
the whole house...
418
00:20:29,336 --> 00:20:30,503
To turn.
419
00:20:30,505 --> 00:20:33,842
[eerie music]
420
00:20:36,511 --> 00:20:38,719
In light
of these developments,
421
00:20:38,721 --> 00:20:40,346
Reverend Maginot gets approval
422
00:20:40,348 --> 00:20:45,267
to perform a minor rite
on the mother, Latoya Ammons.
423
00:20:45,269 --> 00:20:48,980
You basically want to try
to either aggravate the demon
424
00:20:48,982 --> 00:20:50,982
or abate it.
425
00:20:50,984 --> 00:20:52,692
But if it's consistent,
426
00:20:52,694 --> 00:20:55,235
okay, you're not really
affecting the demon,
427
00:20:55,237 --> 00:20:58,321
and you may be
endangering the person.
428
00:20:58,323 --> 00:21:00,824
Behold the cross of the Lord.
429
00:21:00,826 --> 00:21:02,909
Flee bands of enemies.
430
00:21:02,911 --> 00:21:04,454
May you be snatched away
431
00:21:04,456 --> 00:21:06,705
and driven
from the church of God
432
00:21:06,707 --> 00:21:08,416
and from the souls redeemed
433
00:21:08,418 --> 00:21:12,544
by the precious blood
of the Divine Lamb.
434
00:21:12,546 --> 00:21:15,005
I saw she had an aversion
to holy objects.
435
00:21:15,007 --> 00:21:17,382
I put the crucifix on her head.
436
00:21:17,384 --> 00:21:18,676
She began convulsing.
437
00:21:18,678 --> 00:21:20,177
I took it off;
she stopped convulsing.
438
00:21:20,179 --> 00:21:21,721
And then I did it
a second time.
439
00:21:21,723 --> 00:21:23,930
Again, watching,
it's consistent.
440
00:21:23,932 --> 00:21:25,558
And did it a third time.
441
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,977
Father Maginot sat
on the couch with a Bible,
442
00:21:28,979 --> 00:21:31,105
some holy water,
and some salt.
443
00:21:31,107 --> 00:21:32,564
And he was reading the Bible.
444
00:21:32,566 --> 00:21:33,815
He was just intense.
445
00:21:33,817 --> 00:21:36,151
He was really reading.
446
00:21:36,153 --> 00:21:39,071
While Reverend Maginot
tends to Latoya,
447
00:21:39,073 --> 00:21:41,282
the three police officers
who are present
448
00:21:41,284 --> 00:21:46,995
begin digging in the basement,
under the stairs.
449
00:21:46,997 --> 00:21:48,497
We were digging, whatever.
450
00:21:48,499 --> 00:21:51,501
He had dug about 4 feet.
451
00:21:51,503 --> 00:21:52,542
The officer?
452
00:21:52,544 --> 00:21:54,503
Right.
453
00:21:54,505 --> 00:21:55,629
And he found a nail,
454
00:21:55,631 --> 00:21:57,340
a finger nail, a clip-on nail.
455
00:21:57,342 --> 00:21:59,257
I think it was pink in color.
456
00:21:59,259 --> 00:22:00,467
A nail?
457
00:22:00,469 --> 00:22:02,594
Right, right,
a finger nail, a clip-on nail.
458
00:22:02,596 --> 00:22:03,763
And he found some panties.
459
00:22:03,765 --> 00:22:05,514
Panties?
460
00:22:05,516 --> 00:22:09,726
Women's panties,
women's underwear.
461
00:22:09,728 --> 00:22:11,521
Also dug up that day:
462
00:22:11,523 --> 00:22:17,484
a comb, two children's socks,
a heavy bar, and a red tin.
463
00:22:17,486 --> 00:22:21,280
So who buried these objects
under the stairs?
464
00:22:21,282 --> 00:22:23,159
And why?
465
00:22:25,870 --> 00:22:28,495
Do you believe that
that house was haunted
466
00:22:28,497 --> 00:22:31,456
before Latoya and her family
moved in?
467
00:22:31,458 --> 00:22:35,461
If those items were there
from that original family,
468
00:22:35,463 --> 00:22:36,878
it could be.
469
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:38,255
Now, I think it would be
470
00:22:38,257 --> 00:22:40,006
what you would call
"necromancy,"
471
00:22:40,008 --> 00:22:44,428
which is trying to communicate
with the dead.
472
00:22:44,430 --> 00:22:46,930
We only assumed,
because we had no expertise,
473
00:22:46,932 --> 00:22:51,144
that this was a portal to Hell.
474
00:22:51,146 --> 00:22:54,147
Upstairs,
something begins to happen
475
00:22:54,149 --> 00:22:55,689
in the center bedroom.
476
00:22:55,691 --> 00:22:58,943
We went in the center bedroom
on the first floor,
477
00:22:58,945 --> 00:23:01,571
and the blinds
were dripping oil.
478
00:23:01,573 --> 00:23:03,488
In fact, they weren't dripping
from the top,
479
00:23:03,490 --> 00:23:04,823
as you would expect.
480
00:23:04,825 --> 00:23:08,578
They were dripping
from the middle of the blinds.
481
00:23:08,580 --> 00:23:10,620
There was
some liquid material
482
00:23:10,622 --> 00:23:13,624
that had appeared
on some blinds in there,
483
00:23:13,626 --> 00:23:16,002
and we had no source
for that material.
484
00:23:16,004 --> 00:23:17,628
We left the room.
485
00:23:17,630 --> 00:23:20,673
First, we photographed it
and documented it.
486
00:23:20,675 --> 00:23:22,675
And then I wiped down
the blinds.
487
00:23:22,677 --> 00:23:24,176
And then we sealed the room,
488
00:23:24,178 --> 00:23:27,304
and I thought,
if the grandmother
489
00:23:27,306 --> 00:23:29,639
had went in there
and introduced the oil,
490
00:23:29,641 --> 00:23:32,935
I wanted to make sure that she
didn't go in the second time.
491
00:23:32,937 --> 00:23:34,436
So we stuck a Q-tip
in the door,
492
00:23:34,438 --> 00:23:36,147
at the bottom of the door,
493
00:23:36,149 --> 00:23:37,607
and then we came back
about 40 minutes later,
494
00:23:37,609 --> 00:23:39,442
after Father Maginot
had blessed the house.
495
00:23:39,444 --> 00:23:41,069
And the Q-tip
was still in the door.
496
00:23:41,071 --> 00:23:43,362
We went in, and the blinds
were dripping oil again.
497
00:23:43,364 --> 00:23:45,322
Lieutenant Gruszka
went outside,
498
00:23:45,324 --> 00:23:47,908
and we shined flashlights
on the outside of the window
499
00:23:47,910 --> 00:23:49,494
to see if it was coming in
500
00:23:49,496 --> 00:23:51,161
from the outside
or from the ceiling,
501
00:23:51,163 --> 00:23:54,291
and we could never determine
the source of that.
502
00:23:57,169 --> 00:24:00,170
This CPS worker would be
the next to fall victim
503
00:24:00,172 --> 00:24:03,131
to the malevolent energy
in this home.
504
00:24:03,133 --> 00:24:05,301
The CPS opened the cabinet,
505
00:24:05,303 --> 00:24:07,261
and she took her left hand,
I remember.
506
00:24:07,263 --> 00:24:08,596
She may be left-handed.
507
00:24:08,598 --> 00:24:10,389
And she touched the dripping.
508
00:24:10,391 --> 00:24:12,058
- The fluid...
- The fluid.
509
00:24:12,060 --> 00:24:13,892
- That you'd been seeing.
- Right, right.
510
00:24:13,894 --> 00:24:15,520
And when she touched
the fluid,
511
00:24:15,522 --> 00:24:17,647
a whole half of her hand
changed
512
00:24:17,649 --> 00:24:19,564
like all the blood
had been drawn out of it.
513
00:24:19,566 --> 00:24:20,649
It went white?
514
00:24:20,651 --> 00:24:21,859
White.
515
00:24:21,861 --> 00:24:23,653
It was just completely white.
516
00:24:23,655 --> 00:24:27,490
And she had to leave the house.
517
00:24:27,492 --> 00:24:29,742
She had complained
of pain in that,
518
00:24:29,744 --> 00:24:32,411
and it did turn white.
519
00:24:32,413 --> 00:24:34,121
I went on the investigation,
like I said,
520
00:24:34,123 --> 00:24:37,082
at the very beginning,
thinking that it was a hoax.
521
00:24:37,084 --> 00:24:38,751
The more investigation we did,
522
00:24:38,753 --> 00:24:41,253
I believe
that there's something there.
523
00:24:41,255 --> 00:24:42,754
There's just too many people
524
00:24:42,756 --> 00:24:45,675
that I know
are truthful people
525
00:24:45,677 --> 00:24:49,219
that saw things,
some of them which I saw,
526
00:24:49,221 --> 00:24:50,804
to discount everything.
527
00:24:50,806 --> 00:24:54,224
I was talking to the Child
Protective Services worker.
528
00:24:54,226 --> 00:24:56,727
Her hand was starting
to come back to life.
529
00:24:56,729 --> 00:24:58,311
Okay.
530
00:24:58,313 --> 00:25:03,525
And Father Maginot came to
the front porch stairs outside,
531
00:25:03,527 --> 00:25:06,821
and he stood there,
and he looked.
532
00:25:06,823 --> 00:25:08,740
I say, "Father, what's wrong?"
533
00:25:08,742 --> 00:25:12,869
And he looked exactly
like the CPS worker's hand.
534
00:25:12,871 --> 00:25:15,996
He was flush
as a sheet of paper.
535
00:25:15,998 --> 00:25:17,749

"Inside Edition"
also wanted to talk to me.

with the home's
original owners.
646
00:30:14,922 --> 00:30:18,006
There, I learned that other
members of the Ammons family
647
00:30:18,008 --> 00:30:21,218
also took issue with
the claims they were making.
648
00:30:21,220 --> 00:30:23,678
Charles has got me
an article here,
649
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:28,016
and this was published
February 5, 2014.
650
00:30:28,018 --> 00:30:32,021
It says the grandmother
of the possessed kids
651
00:30:32,023 --> 00:30:34,732
insists none of this went on.
652
00:30:34,734 --> 00:30:37,068
Could this be
the other grandmother?
653
00:30:37,070 --> 00:30:38,069
I don't know.
654
00:30:38,071 --> 00:30:39,070
I read that...
655
00:30:39,072 --> 00:30:40,362
So Latoya Ammons,
656
00:30:40,364 --> 00:30:43,116
her mother is the one
that lived in the house,
657
00:30:43,118 --> 00:30:45,118
that witnessed all that stuff
658
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,078
and did all the interviews
659
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:50,247
stating that she saw the kids
being lifted up
660
00:30:50,249 --> 00:30:52,332
and tons of other stuff.
661
00:30:52,334 --> 00:30:55,461
So now Latoya Ammons's
step-mother,
662
00:30:55,463 --> 00:30:57,129
which is a different woman:
663
00:30:57,131 --> 00:31:00,090
"My children,
Latoya's brother and sisters,
664
00:31:00,092 --> 00:31:03,093
are outraged,"
the step-mother told me.
665
00:31:03,095 --> 00:31:05,138
They know the true story,
and they're upset
666
00:31:05,140 --> 00:31:08,014
about the family's name
being dragged through the mud.
667
00:31:08,016 --> 00:31:11,101
"My family hoped
this would all blow over.
668
00:31:11,103 --> 00:31:12,853
It has not."
669
00:31:12,855 --> 00:31:13,855
Wow.
670
00:31:13,857 --> 00:31:15,233
Wow.
671
00:31:17,067 --> 00:31:20,319
Also, a photo leaked online
of a ghostly figure
672
00:31:20,321 --> 00:31:22,405
in one of the house's windows.
673
00:31:22,407 --> 00:31:28,035
But this was almost definitely
faked using a cell phone app.
674
00:31:28,037 --> 00:31:30,955
On top of this,
I had the house inspected,
675
00:31:30,957 --> 00:31:32,999
and the inspector found mold
and other things
676
00:31:33,001 --> 00:31:35,542
that could have had
a psychological effect
677
00:31:35,544 --> 00:31:37,211
on the residents.
678
00:31:37,213 --> 00:31:40,048
So what does the house contain?
679
00:31:40,050 --> 00:31:42,802
Asbestos, black mold,
everything?
680
00:32:02,947 --> 00:32:07,369
Can that make you feel dizzy
or euphoric?
681
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:10,535
And then you have
to think about, too,
682
00:32:10,537 --> 00:32:12,038
if any of those elements
683
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:16,667
would affect the human mind
or the body
684
00:32:16,669 --> 00:32:18,794
to perceive those side effects
685
00:32:18,796 --> 00:32:23,299
as paranormal-induced type
686
00:32:23,301 --> 00:32:26,676
euphoria and spirit energy.
687
00:32:26,678 --> 00:32:32,641
So it's something to take
into consideration.
688
00:32:32,643 --> 00:32:34,435
I was starting to think
this may be
689
00:32:34,437 --> 00:32:37,146
an overblown case
of mass hysteria
690
00:32:37,148 --> 00:32:40,065
or that there was some other
normal explanation
691
00:32:40,067 --> 00:32:43,276
that was now being turned
into a money grab.
692
00:32:43,278 --> 00:32:46,697
But then,
with my own investigation,
693
00:32:46,699 --> 00:32:48,742
shit got crazy.
694
00:32:50,995 --> 00:32:53,120
One day, when we're filming
at the house,
695
00:32:53,122 --> 00:32:54,414
a woman drives by
696
00:32:54,416 --> 00:32:57,125
and says she used to
live there in the '90s.
697
00:32:57,127 --> 00:32:58,542
You got my audio, Jay?
698
00:32:58,544 --> 00:33:01,587
Check, check, you got it?
699
00:33:01,589 --> 00:33:03,675
Did you used to live in here?
700
00:33:06,177 --> 00:33:08,093
So you used to live here,
how many years?
701
00:33:08,095 --> 00:33:10,390
Just stayed, like,
four or five years.
702
00:33:14,310 --> 00:33:16,519
Did you all hear about
what's been going on in here?
703
00:33:16,521 --> 00:33:17,936
Yes.
704
00:33:17,938 --> 00:33:19,312
You guys have all heard
about it?
705
00:33:19,314 --> 00:33:20,481
Has your mom
been telling you about it?
706
00:33:20,483 --> 00:33:22,817
I saw on Facebook.
707
00:33:22,819 --> 00:33:24,359
Yeah, a lot of stuff
happened here.
708
00:33:24,361 --> 00:33:27,863
If the claims are true
about the demons being in here,
709
00:33:27,865 --> 00:33:29,115
I just want to make sure
it's okay
710
00:33:29,117 --> 00:33:30,824
for them to be in here,
711
00:33:30,826 --> 00:33:33,327
because the other family

00:42:03,256 --> 00:42:07,591
Do you still feel
what you witnessed that day
895
00:42:07,593 --> 00:42:11,262
was beyond the capabilities
of a 9-year-old boy?
896
00:42:11,264 --> 00:42:15,557
I'm positive
in regards to that matter.
897
00:42:15,559 --> 00:42:17,642
Sometimes, even thinking
about it again,
898
00:42:17,644 --> 00:42:19,312
it kind of just throws me back
899
00:42:19,314 --> 00:42:24,233
into a series where
I don't want to go back to.
900
00:42:24,235 --> 00:42:27,861
It's taken me a while
to move past that.
901
00:42:27,863 --> 00:42:31,865
When he did walk up the wall
902
00:42:31,867 --> 00:42:34,869
before my eyes,
903
00:42:34,871 --> 00:42:39,624
he could not remember doing it
five minutes afterwards,
904
00:42:39,626 --> 00:42:41,166
after he was
questioned about it,
905
00:42:41,168 --> 00:42:43,669
after they asked him
questions about it.
906
00:42:43,671 --> 00:42:45,254
Child couldn't remember.
907
00:42:45,256 --> 00:42:47,173
He looked at us like,
what are we talking about?
908
00:42:47,175 --> 00:42:48,883
He didn't even understand
the question
909
00:42:48,885 --> 00:42:50,593
that we were asking him.
910
00:42:50,595 --> 00:42:54,972
And the fact that myself
and the psychiatrist
911
00:42:54,974 --> 00:42:58,517
witnessed this,
along with the family.
912
00:42:58,519 --> 00:43:00,394
We had no words to explain it,
913
00:43:00,396 --> 00:43:03,189
because we didn't
understand it either.
914
00:43:03,191 --> 00:43:04,981
And the child
couldn't even explain it.
915
00:43:04,983 --> 00:43:07,276
He didn't even believe
he did anything.
916
00:43:07,278 --> 00:43:09,695
Do you believe
that this family was possessed
917
00:43:09,697 --> 00:43:11,446
by these demons?
918
00:43:11,448 --> 00:43:13,115
I believe that it was
something going on there
919
00:43:13,117 --> 00:43:17,787
that was out of the realm
of a normal living person.
920
00:43:17,789 --> 00:43:21,624
Something was going on
I can't even explain
921
00:43:21,626 --> 00:43:22,959
at that house.
922
00:43:22,961 --> 00:43:26,921
Have you sustained any
emotional or mental trauma
923
00:43:26,923 --> 00:43:28,715
from what you witnessed?
924
00:43:28,717 --> 00:43:30,341
Yes.
925
00:43:30,343 --> 00:43:33,135
Is this a factor in you
leaving here in Indiana?
926
00:43:33,137 --> 00:43:34,553
It played into it,
927
00:43:34,555 --> 00:43:36,888
because after that,
a lot had changed
928
00:43:36,890 --> 00:43:42,311
as far as me trying
to do my daily routine work.
929
00:43:42,313 --> 00:43:44,479
I worked
as a child fatality worker.
930
00:43:44,481 --> 00:43:47,149
I investigated children dying.
931
00:43:47,151 --> 00:43:49,943
I've seen children
in various situations...
932
00:43:49,945 --> 00:43:51,445
burned, beaten.
933
00:43:51,447 --> 00:43:54,658
But after that, it was just...
934
00:43:56,994 --> 00:43:58,494
It was traumatic.
935
00:43:58,496 --> 00:44:00,162
And I also talked
with a psychiatrist
936
00:44:00,164 --> 00:44:01,247
in regards to that,
937
00:44:01,249 --> 00:44:02,707
and she stated also,
938
00:44:02,709 --> 00:44:05,042
it was a very traumatic
experience for me
939
00:44:05,044 --> 00:44:10,173
and that I did need
to go and seek some help.
940
00:44:10,175 --> 00:44:13,091
I have witnessed that anyone
941
00:44:13,093 --> 00:44:15,135
that has ever went
to that home,
942
00:44:15,137 --> 00:44:17,345
the effects that they had
943
00:44:17,347 --> 00:44:20,432
after they continuously
went to that home,
944
00:44:20,434 --> 00:44:21,767
the things
that happened to them...
945
00:44:21,769 --> 00:44:23,269
[growling]
946
00:44:23,271 --> 00:44:24,896
I do not like
talking about it,
947
00:44:24,898 --> 00:44:29,149
because, to me, if you feed it
as if you're scared,
948
00:44:29,151 --> 00:44:31,028
it will bother you.
949
00:44:59,349 --> 00:45:00,972
The day before Father Maginot
950
00:45:00,974 --> 00:45:03,934
was going to perform
the second exorcism on Latoya,
951
00:45:03,936 --> 00:45:07,437
he experienced
what he describes as an attack
952
00:45:07,439 --> 00:45:08,856
while on a bike ride.
953
00:45:08,858 --> 00:45:11,608
As I was riding
through the neighborhood,
954
00:45:11,610 --> 00:45:15,113
anyone who looks up to me
is staring at me
955
00:45:15,115 --> 00:45:16,530
with a puzzled look,
956
00:45:16,532 --> 00:45:18,908
like, "What in the world
is riding by?"
957
00:45:18,910 --> 00:45:20,410
And so that was happening
958
00:45:20,412 --> 00:45:22,495
all the way
to the end of the path.
959
00:45:22,497 --> 00:45:24,830
And all of a sudden,
I'm on the side of the path,
960
00:45:24,832 --> 00:45:27,124
thrown down.
961
00:45:27,126 --> 00:45:28,501
How did that happen?
962
00:45:28,503 --> 00:45:30,044
Then I looked
at my bicycle seat,
963
00:45:30,046 --> 00:45:32,256
and it was 45 degrees off.
964
00:45:54,695 --> 00:45:57,530
Captain Austin
was also affected.
965
00:45:57,532 --> 00:45:59,948
Just two days
after I interviewed him
966
00:45:59,950 --> 00:46:01,492
in the house,
967
00:46:01,494 --> 00:46:03,870
he found himself
in the emergency room.
968
00:46:03,872 --> 00:46:05,454
I exited a restaurant.
969
00:46:05,456 --> 00:46:06,747
I was in full uniform.
970
00:46:06,749 --> 00:46:08,124
And when I exited
the restaurant,
971
00:46:08,126 --> 00:46:09,541
I had the dinners
in my right hand,
972
00:46:09,543 --> 00:46:11,334
I was walking
towards my squad car.
973
00:46:11,336 --> 00:46:12,919
I walked down the sidewalk,
974
00:46:12,921 --> 00:46:14,881
and as I walked
down the sidewalk,
975
00:46:14,883 --> 00:46:16,673
both feet slid on the ice
976
00:46:16,675 --> 00:46:18,885
and went up
about 3 feet in the air.
977
00:46:18,887 --> 00:46:21,803
I did a somersault
and fell on my head.
978
00:46:21,805 --> 00:46:24,974
I was unconscious
for approximately a month...
979
00:46:24,976 --> 00:46:26,850
a minute, a minute.
980
00:46:26,852 --> 00:46:29,102
And I was bleeding
from my head.
981
00:46:29,104 --> 00:46:30,687
Everybody came
out the restaurant.
982
00:46:30,689 --> 00:46:32,398
They was hollering
and screaming.
983
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:33,983
And they called the ambulance,
984
00:46:33,985 --> 00:46:35,693
and they transported me
to Methodist South...
985
00:46:35,695 --> 00:46:38,195
or Methodist
Northlake Hospital.
986
00:46:38,197 --> 00:46:41,073
Captain Austin would also
end up being shot
987
00:46:41,075 --> 00:46:43,283
during a home invasion,
988
00:46:43,285 --> 00:46:46,495
but he survived.
989
00:46:46,497 --> 00:46:48,497
As I make my way back
to the hotel,
990
00:46:48,499 --> 00:46:51,834
I receive a phone call
from a distressed Mika.

992
00:46:52,753 --> 00:46:55,172
Something is terribly wrong.
993
00:46:56,508 --> 00:46:58,508
We were out
at my daughter's pageant.
994
00:46:58,510 --> 00:46:59,966
I don't know.
995
00:46:59,968 --> 00:47:01,387
My mama came back.
996
00:47:03,764 --> 00:47:06,725
When did this happen,
just now?
997
00:47:12,148 --> 00:47:16,358
Will you call us back
after the police leave?
998
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:20,320
Yes.

after visiting us at my house,

Mika's daughter
attempted suicide

and stabbing herself.

1012

about Erica.

00:48:18,715 --> 00:48:20,338
And Erica,
pleased to meet you.
1015

Father Mike.
1016
00:48:22,218 --> 00:48:24,468
Do you mind if I talk
with her real quick?
1017
00:48:24,470 --> 00:48:25,470
Okay.
1018
00:48:25,472 --> 00:48:26,470
For, like, five minutes?
1019
00:48:26,472 --> 00:48:27,512
- Okay.
- Okay.

Do you remember
going in that house?

with me in the house.

Is the demon
still in the house,

00:49:01,340 --> 00:49:04,966
or have they moved on?
1030
00:49:04,968 --> 00:49:07,260

with you and your mom?
1032

or did it feel like just
someone else out of nowhere?

Not when I threatened
my mother.

her wrists.
