Real Haunted Houses

Published by admin On September 3, 2024

The Ammons’ Demon House is brought back to life by Lee Daniels’ The Deliverance on Netflix. The Ammons House haunting was documented in over 800 pages of official records from authorities in what may be one of the most well-known hauntings since the Conjuring house or Amityville Horror hauntings. In The Deliverance, we begin to understand what the Ammons family endured as Academy Award Nominees Andra Day, Aunjanue Ellis-Tayler, Glenn Close, and Academy Award Winner Mo’Nique bring the story to life.

Known as the Demon House, or the 200 Demons House, the Gary, Indiana haunting made news in 2012 when Latoya Ammons reported strange occurrences and disturbances in her home. The Deliverance is based on the story of the Ammons house but follows its own chilling storyline. Learn more about the Ammons haunting here.

The Deliverance is available now on Netflix, having been released on August 30th, 2024.

What is the Warren Occult Musem?

Ed and Lorraine Warren were famous paranormal investigators who claimed to have investigated over 10,000 cases of supernatural phenomena. They are most notable of late, for their investigations into The Rhode Island “Conjuring House,” which spawned the horror universe of The Conjuring. They were also avid collectors of haunted and cursed objects, which they kept in a special room in their home in Monroe, Connecticut. This room, known as the Occult Museum, was open to the public for tours and lectures until 2018 when it was closed due to zoning violations.

The Occult Museum housed some of the most notorious and dangerous items in the world, such as the Annabelle doll, the shadow doll, the conjuring mirror, the organ that played by itself, and many more. Some of these objects were allegedly involved in cases of demonic possession, murder, and suicide. The Warrens believed that these objects were portals to evil forces and had to be kept under lock and key. They also performed regular blessings and prayers to keep evil at bay.

The museum was established in 1952 at around the same time that the Warrens established the New England Society of Paranormal Research (NESPR), which is currently run by Tony Spera, their son-in-law, and curator of the museum. The museum has amassed a collection of haunted artifacts from all corners of the globe that range from satanic ritual items to the famous Annabelle doll, which has inspired the ongoing Annabelle series of movies. The movies are part of the larger Conjuring universe of films, which spans eight movies and is based on the investigations of the Warrens.

However, in 2019, Ed and Lorraine Warren both passed away, leaving their legacy and their collection in the hands of Tony Spera. Spera claimed that he would continue to protect and preserve the Occult Museum and its contents. He also said that he was looking for a new location to reopen the museum to the public.

Will the Warren’s Occult Museum ever Reopen?

But until now, there has been no official announcement about the fate of the Occult Museum. The museum remains closed to the public and its location is kept secret. Some fans have speculated that it might reopen someday, but others have doubted that it would ever come back. Some have even suggested that the museum might be haunted by the spirits of Ed and Lorraine Warren themselves.

The Occult Museum was a unique and fascinating place that combined history, horror, and mystery. It was a testament to the work and beliefs of Ed and Lorraine Warren, who dedicated their lives to exploring the unknown. It is unclear if it will ever be revived, but many hope that it will not be lost.

The Winchester Mystery House, located in San Jose, California, is turning 100 years old this year. The house is a marvel of Victorian architecture and paranormal activity. Its enduring legacy has been the subject of eerie tales and Hollywood movies.

100 Years of  Mystery at the Winchester House

The history of the house dates back to 1884 when Sarah Winchester began construction on what would become the largest residential home ever built in the United States. Sarah was the widow of William Wirt Winchester, co-owner of the famous firearms company which bears his name. After her husband’s death, Sarah moved from Connecticut to California with $20 million in assets—a fortune that enabled her to build an extravagant mansion with more than 150 rooms.

Over a period of 38 years, Sarah added secret passageways, moving walls, and doors that open up to nothing but bricks and mortar onto the property. In total, six different building phases were completed during construction as architectural designs changed over time.

The house is renowned for its oddities such as staircases that lead nowhere or doors opening onto sheer drop-offs at least 20 feet high. Visitors can take guided tours through many of these strange features while also learning about some of its rich history and rumored hauntings.

In addition to its fascinating architecture, one popular legend surrounds why Sarah Winchester was supposedly driven to build continuously on her home: she believed she could outwit vengeful spirits seeking revenge for all those killed by Winchester weapons over the years.

This year marks a milestone anniversary for the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, California. As it celebrates its centennial birthday this year, the house continues to stand with its time-honored reputation as one of America’s most haunted places. To mark this special occasion, visitors can now take guided tours through many of its strange features while learning about some of its rich history and rumored hauntings. Whether you believe the stories or not is up to you—but it does make for an unforgettable tour experience!

At its most basic definition, a house is a building or dwelling where a small group of people come together and live. On the surface, a house uses its sides and roof to protect the inhabitants from the vicious elements on the outside. But what if such protection came with a particular price? Some paranormal theorists argue that houses instead bottle up the darker elements and energies created inside them and over decades the home becomes malevolent. A sort of infernal spiritual prison that accepts human visitors who may or may not make it out sane and alive.

Many of these notoriously haunted houses have been chronicled in some of Hollywood’s greatest horror films. Some have stuck truer to the source material and others have taken great creative liberties to ensure that audiences have never felt the same about any house they cross or the horror that lay within it. Just what are some of these haunted houses that have inspired the greatest horror films ever made?

Amityville House

The Real Amityville House

Amityville is perhaps one of the most widely recognized haunted house cases ever in existence.  The Lutz family bought their dream home on Long Island in December 1975, a gorgeous Dutch Colonial Revival that sat on the banks of South Oyster Bay.  The former owners were slaughtered in the middle of the night by their own son, Ronald DeFeo Jr. who later claimed that voices in the house told him to murder his family. Over the next twenty-eight days, the Lutz family endured a living hell as they encountered ectoplasm slime cascading down the walls coupled with freezing rooms and ungodly screams. They fled in absolute terror on January 14, 1976 never to return again.

Their story was chronicled in the famous Jay Anson novel, The Amityville Horror, which instantly became a bestseller. Such a novel caught the eyes of Hollywood producers who in 1979 put the hellish experiences of the Lutz family on the big screen in one of the most recognized haunted house films that have now produced or inspired a whopping sixteen sequels. Today, the house is owned privately and the address changed to deter any members of the public from seeking out the horrors for themselves.

The Exorcist House

The Real Exorcist House

Considered by many to be the scariest horror film of all time. For many audiences trying to mentally cope with such an experience, it was normal to repeat the mantra of “it’s only a film.” Unbeknownst to many people both then and even now, there was very much a real-life haunted house that inspired the highest-grossing horror film of all time, and unlike the film, it wasn’t in Georgetown.

The totally unassuming location of Bel-Nor, Missouri is where the real-life inspiration for William Peter Blatty’s horror novel, The Exorcist came from. A young boy known only as “Roland Doe” was given the gift of an ouija board by a family member. Before long, Roland had opened up an ethereal portal from which a demon emerged and possessed his adolescent body. A pair of priests were brought in to perform an exorcism which was said to have lasted days. The boy was eventually saved and grew up to live a relatively normal life, however, the home in Missouri still stands and while it bears the appearance of an unassuming brick brownstone, it once bore home to a demon breaking through to destroy an innocent human soul.

The Real Conjuring House

The Real Conjuring House

The Conjuring came along to film audiences in 2013 under the direction of master filmmaker James Wan. But this was no writing room creation, as there was a real home in existence that both inspired the film and introduced the world to the most popular haunted house-hunting duo ever known, Ed and Lorraine Warren.

The unsuspecting farmhouse located in Burrillville, Rhode Island was the catalyst for what is now the first film to be set in The Conjuring film series universe. In 1971, the Perron family, which included five young daughters, moved in with high hopes of starting a better life. Instead, they were met with flying objects, wandering spirits in black, and suffered under the many torments of a long-deceased spiritualist known only by the name of Bathsheba who roamed Burrillville nearly a century before. The Warrens were brought in to facilitate an exorcism along with many house blessings. The Perron family eventually moved and the home has had many owners as recently as 2022 when a Bostonian developer confessed to not being able to stay because of the “powerful energy” within the home.

Ammons “Demon” House

Ammons Demon House

Demon House was the name of a 2018 horror documentary from Ghost Adventures host Zak Bagans. The documentary was a smash hit on the indie film scene and grossed so much money that Netflix bid on the rights to the story behind the property (which Bagans also owns) to make a full-length horror film. What exactly was the story behind this tiny, run-down house in Gary, Indiana?

The Ammons family (mother, grandmother, and three children) should have known upon moving into the home in 2011 that swarming black flies would be a bad omen of things to come. The home itself was a possible host to some black magic and ritualistic mayhem that allowed many demons to enter the home. Shadow figures, levitations, and demonic possession behavior infested the family so deeply that the police and child authorities were called to a local hospital when the Ammons children were literally walking upside down on the walls with no explanation. Exorcisms couldn’t come soon enough to cure the family and eventually they relocated shortly thereafter.

The Stanley Hotel

The Shining's Stanley Hotel

Yes, we know. It isn’t a house! The Stanley Hotel is not the name of any horror film that average fans may recognize. However, if you were to rename it the Overlook then you would have conjured up Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 psychological horror masterpiece, The Shining.  Jack Nicholson starred as a tortured writer alone with his family at a secluded hotel during the snowy offseason in hopes of never going mad. Directly from the novel written by everyone’s favorite horror author Stephen King, it’s a film that’s instantly recognizable.  How true to life was this actual hotel?

King himself was in residency at Boulder and stayed at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado for a single evening.  A 140-room Colonial Revival-styled hotel on the cusp of the Rocky Mountain National Park, King’s stay was haunting from the start as he and his wife were the only visitors during the onset of winter and took in the vast size and constant eeriness. In fact, it was a fever dream King had of his young son being chased through the empty halls by a maniac which served as the catalyst for his most famous novel to date. The Stanley Hotel is still in business today, on the list of the U.S. National Register of Historic Places, and takes reservations to this very day.

The Conjuring 2 House

The Real Conjuring 2 House

The Conjuring 2: The Enfield Haunting served as a sequel to the original box office smash hit, however, this real-life haunted house was not found in America. This haunted house was an unassuming flat across the pond in Enfield, England which is a suburb of the London area.  What would inspire James Wan and Hollywood studios to bank on taking their franchise to Europe?

In 1977, a frantic British mother named Peggy Hodgson called the police about the nonstop poltergeist activity in her home, which included moving furniture, sinister voices, and her own children levitating in their bedroom. The Society for Psychical Research headed up by Maurice Grosse and Guyplayfair came in to investigate. What put this haunting over the top and inspired a fantastical horror film was that one of the children was interviewed on tape growling and changing voices that were so disturbing that after the family moved, they essentially went into hiding to avoid bringing about any more terror in their personal lives.

 

The Winchester Mystery House

The Winchester Mystery House

The Winchester Mystery House has the distinction of serving as inspiration on a dozen or more horror films, series, events, documentaries, and even a ride at Disney (The Haunted Mansion). In fact, Stephen King used the eerie hauntings from the Winchester Mystery House to serve as the plot of his famous Rose Red miniseries. An even more fun fact is that Winchester is such a magnificently haunted house, that King didn’t even write a book based on it and fleshed out his teleplay directly without any fictional basis which is a rarity for the cherished author.

Winchester is a sprawling multistory mansion in San Jose, California that features 160 rooms, 2,000 doors, 10,000 windows, 47 stairways, 47 fireplaces, 13 bathrooms, and 6 kitchens which makes all the more surface area for spirits to wreak havoc. The legend attached to the home is that Sarah Winchester, a wealthy widow to the Winchester Rifle fortune, had suffered both her husband and infant dying unexpectedly. After a seance, she learns that angry ghosts caused the deaths of all the souls that the rifles have claimed over the years. She catches the idea to build a house big enough for them all, hence the Winchester Mystery House is born. However, Sarah wasn’t alone in her company, and the mansion is said to be packed with angry roaming spirits that still have neither forgiven nor forgotten who put them there in the first place.

The Changeling House

The Changeling House

The Changeling was an incredibly emotional, albeit powerful horror film that opened to audiences in the spring of 1980. The biggest coup for director Peter Medak was that Academy Award-winning actor George C. Scott had agreed to star. Scott played a composer who moved West from New York after the untimely deaths of his family only to rent an oversized mansion in which he finds out he wasn’t alone. A standard horror film with a normal plot, was there more to the story?

The real Changeling House resides in Denver, Colorado, and has all the appearances of an enormous, two-story wrap-around. Its haunting originates eerily enough with a real-life composer named Russell Hunter who rented the home to compose musical scores. Constant heavy poundings and banging on all the walls and rooms habitually woke Hunter and he took it upon himself to investigate the home before finding a third-story room revealing the sinister and actually buried secrets that culminated in a hellish spirit taking over the house. Hidden away in Chessman Park, the sinister home still stands.

The Snedeker House

The Snedeker House - The Haunting in Connecticut

The Haunting In Connecticut is without a doubt one of the more catchy, and popular haunted house films that was indeed the inspiration for a popular 2009 box office horror hit. The film starred Virginia Madsen as a fictionalized version of  Carmen Snedeker, a Southington woman who moves her family into a home in hopes to alleviate the medical travelings of her cancer-afflicted son. The film gained notoriety as having one of the more original plots among film critics’ viewpoints in that this unassuming home was hiding its darker past….of being a funeral home.

True to life, the Snedekers had moved into a former funeral home and any unsettled spirits were not all that they had to contend with. Supernatural seeker couple Ed and Lorraine Warren were brought in to check the home out. Via clairvoyance and other paranormal tools, it was discovered that the lowest basement floor of the home had been used for necromancy, a black magic sorcery art used to summon the dead. Their practices also were said to have involved necrophilia and being in a funeral home, such a supply of corpses to use was virtually endless. Dark shapes, brutally cold rooms, and demonic havoc of all types eventually had the Warrens and Snedekers risking their lives until a massive exorcism was performed to settle the house. As of 2023, the Southington home still stands and is held by private owners who have yet to comment on if any spirits have remerged.

The Real Entity House

The Real Entity House from the 1980s Movie

The Entity.  Just that title alone speaks more fear and terror into many people’s psyches, and that is an absolute fact. In 1982, director Sidney J. Furie adapted what ended up being a largely true haunting account of a Los Angeles area woman named Doris Bither. Actress Barbara Hershey played her with a quiet reserve despite being wailed and assaulted (even by sexual means) by an unseen demonic force. But this film did more than chronicle an abusive haunting, it instead profiled this unassuming home in the midst of a bustling Los Angeles suburb.

The real Entity house and its case became famous thanks in large part to parapsychologist and UCLA professor, Dr. Barry Taff who was contacted by Doris in 1974 to examine her home. Taff was blown away by what he saw; arcing balls of unexplained paranormal lights that seemingly appeared, bent themselves, and disappeared almost upon command. The home was believed to have an especially violent incubus that had somehow attached itself to Doris to unyielding ends. Despite some remodeling and additions, the notorious Entity house still stands today as a constant reminder of one woman’s battle with an incubus.

So what evil entity will the Warrens be battling in this horror threequel? This time around the Warrens will be called upon to help with a criminal court case involving a murderous defendant who claims he was possessed by a demon.

The True Story of The Conjuring 3

Inspired by real-life events, the original case for this occurred deep within Connecticut in February 1981. A man named Arne Johnson stabbed another man to death and claimed it was, in fact, a vicious demonic entity that possessed him and made him commit murder. This criminal case has particular notoriety for being the first time that a defendant actually claimed demonic possession as a defense in American history. How did this demonic entity come about? According to the Warren’s, it entered into Johnson after jumping from a small boy as the demon escaped Hell. You know, classic demon jumping from boy story.

The Conjuring 3 Updated Release Date

In the summer of 2013, a horror filmed called The Conjuring took cinemas by storm. It chronicled a supremely violent haunting that took a family of seven supernaturally hostage. The film was an immediate success both at the box office and with film critics alike and has even managed to spawn six film-universe sequels with two more on the way. More importantly,  the film introduced to the mainstream audiences a paranormal investigator husband and wife duo named Ed and Lorraine Warren.

Ed and Lorraine Warren

Before long, anything and everything associated with the Warrens has been a very hot topic. Six years after the release of The Conjuring, the haunting involved with it is making a comeback in the most unusual of ways.

History of the Real Conjuring House

The Real Conjuring House

The basics surrounding the haunting of the real Conjuring house involved the Perron Family of Harrisville, Rhode Island. In 1971, parents Roger and Carolyn moved their five daughters into a sprawling farmhouse on the edge of town. Before long objects moved and disappeared, voices chattering, and apparitions were manifesting in the house. The Warrens stepped in and discovered the home and property had a sinister past in which many members of a single-family had died under dark circumstances. Years of work went into the home before the Perron Family moved out in 1980. But what became of the house?

The Real Conjuring House Has New Owners and Tennants

It was with little fanfare that a couple from Maine named Cory and Jennifer Heinzen purchased the home in June 2019. Posed as paranormal investigators in their own right, the Heinzens claim the house initially started off as quiet and uneventful before things began to supernaturally snowball. Doors opened and closed on their own, footsteps tapping all over the house, random knocks on the walls, and the faded sounds of ghostly voices whispering all over the many parts of the home. The Heinzens say that while there is indeed supernatural activity in the home, they do not by their own assessment feel that whatever is in the home is diabolical in nature. In comparing their experience with the Perron Family both started off eerily similar. However, things eventually transgressed for the Perrons before they eventually left the home. Will the same happen to the Heinzens?

The Heinzens Purchase the Conjuring House

At the present time, Cory and his wife have ramped up documentation in the home by inviting paranormal guru Zak Bagans and his Ghost Adventures crew over. Premiering on Halloween night, the footage of Bagans and his crew’s extended stay inside the infamous Conjuring House will be shown to the world. Will the documentary uncover the sinister spirits in the home once and for all? According to one of Perron’s daughters Andrea, there is no telling what will manifest.

“It’s magical. It’s a portal cleverly disguised as a farmhouse. It’s multiple dimensions, interacting simultaneously.”

The bed and breakfast inn is a staple within any lodging community. Typically they are private, massively sized older homes that have been renovated to accommodate weary travelers looking for a more personalized lodging experience. Breakfast is traditionally served by the owners and other areas of the bed and breakfast such as living rooms and libraries are open to relax in.

Here is a list of seven of the most haunted bed and breakfasts to help unrest your paranormal inclinations:

T’Frere’s House

Lafayette, Louisiana

The Haunted T'Frere's House

Built in 1880, this expansive and charming house was constructed by Acadians in the area who naturally gave it a wide and welcoming porch area. One of the original residents of this house was Amelie Comeaux, who lived there with her husband and child. However, yellow fever claimed the lives of both her husband and child soon after they moved in. Melancholia took over, and according to oral legend, Amelie committed suicide by throwing herself down the well in back of the property. The Catholic Church ruled her death suicide and would not allow her a proper funeral or to be buried on sacred ground.

Decades later, the home has been a successful bed and breakfast that makes it no secret that Amelie is still haunting it. Doors gently open, knobs turn, and occasional happy whistle is heard. The most heart-wrenching was her appearance to an employee in the attic as her spirit manifested, speaking only in French about how she wished to be laid to rest with her family. Today, the bed and breakfast remains wildly successful and the owners fully believe her presence there is a gentle one.

Farnsworth House

Gettysburg, Pennsylvania

The Haunted Farnsworth House

Half a mile from the historic Civil War era battlefield of Gettysburg National Military Park, the Farnsworth House is perhaps the most supernaturally active bed and breakfast within the area. Assumed to have been constructed sometime in 1810, this now modern day bed and breakfast is reported to be haunted by up to sixteen different spirits each completely different from the other. The young ghost named Jeremy is believed to be just eight years old, however being a ghost somehow has not discouraged him from playing games. Both visitors and employees alike report of approaching an open door only for it to be quickly shut before they can grasp the knob. Other times guests feel someone tapping them on the shoulder only to turn around and see nobody there while on the other side of their body, they feel the tiniest little gust of air pass against them as if a spirit just passes by.

Another ghost in the house has a mid-wife quality about her and guests have reported of an unseen force “tucking” them into bed in the middle of the night with a certain gentleness. Today the Farnsworth is the most popular bed and breakfast in Gettysburg and even caters to paranormal investigators and amateur supernatural seekers by hosting routine paranormal investigations.

Beechwood Inn

Cape Cod, Massachusetts

The Haunted Beechwood Inn

This multi-story home turned successful bed and breakfast is the ideal New England vacation spot. Large and spacious guest rooms with original antique furnishings and located incredibly close to the shores of Cape Cod Bay, the Beechwood Inn is more than ideal for a stay. Built in 1853, the Beechwood was originally a private home all the way up until 1980 when it was sold to its current proprietors. When closing on the home with plans to turn it into a bed and breakfast, the former owners mildly kidded the new owners that a gentle spirit they believed lived there too. Once the home was flipped into a bed and breakfast and officially open for business that’s when both guests and the owners began documenting paranormal occurrences.

Doors would not only open and close at random, but would also be locked many a time from the other side. Light bulbs in their sockets would somehow be unscrewed and removed while the shower curtain rods in the guest bathrooms would be inexplicably removed with no noise or perceived effort at all. Sometimes guests and the owners have spotted her white colored spirit hovering gently in the parlor room. The owners of the Beechwood have dubbed the spirit “The Mischievous Lady” after all of the harmless supernatural havoc she has been known to wreak. Still a lady even in the spirit world, she has also been known to chirp at guests and the owners a very bright “good morning!”

1895 Tarlton House Bed and Breakfast

Hillsboro, Texas

The Haunted 1895 Tarlton House

Standing at a tall and narrow three stories with yellow and peach color exterior, this one hundred and twenty four year old bed and breakfast is quite paranormally active despite its age. Located half an hour south of Dallas, the bed and breakfast was originally built by the Tarlton couple in 1895. The towering Victorian-style home was to be the perfect place to stay, but the happiness ended early when Mrs. Tarlton succumbed to a lengthy illness in the home. Depressed by his wife’s death, Duke Tarlton committed suicide by hanging himself in the attic.

Naturally the property changed hands over the many decades and before long stories about the bed and breakfast being haunted came to light. Presumably the most active point in the house is the attic. Guests and employees have claimed to see a black shadow-like presence that has been seen pacing around up there. Below the attic on the third floor, guests have reported a sensation of being in bed and feeling something heavy sit on the edge of the bed, leaving an impression all the while there is nothing there at all! A former housekeeper claimed to have seen Duke Tarlton fully manifested, and he was on his knees bent over, with his head in his hands as if he were weeping, no doubt for his long deceased wife.

While the house today has not had any malicious activity, locals still feel weary about the bed and breakfast and have been known to cross the street and avoid walking on the same sidewalk where the home lies due to a sudden and chilling uneasiness that they feel.

Banning House Lodge

Avalon, California

The Haunted Banning House

Situated on the easternmost point of Santa Catalina island off the coast of California, this hillside bed and breakfast has a magnificent view of the Pacific coast. The Banning House was originally used as a hunting lodge by the Banning family only to serve as a Coast Guard barracks back during World War II before it was refurbished into a female sleep-away camp during the 1950s. Adjacent to the stunning vineyards of Avalon, the Banning House became a charming, coastal California bed and breakfast, with plenty of spirits residing there.

The fisherman ghost is one of the most frequently reported. Unseen to most guests, his presence is said to be formidable in feeling, but not malicious at all. In fact accompanying his presence is an overwhelming scent of both burning tobacco as well as freshly caught fish. Another entity known as the “White Lady” has been seen in any one of the eleven guest rooms, quietly looking out the window before fading straight away. The most alarming spirit to see is that of actress Natalie Wood. She is said to have mysteriously drowned off the coast and her ghostly figure has been seen walking up and down the beach in front of the lodge looking distressed. Santa Catalina island is every bit of the romantic getaway it’s known for and it just so happens to now be known to house a minimally haunted bed and breakfast.

Chapman Inn

Bethel, Maine

The Haunted Chapman Inn

Majority of bed and breakfasts, as well as hotels, do not typically advertise their locations as being haunted. However, the Chapman Inn located in Bethel is the only known bed and breakfast out there to label itself as “officially haunted”. Recent owners of the inn began to experience many subtle paranormal occurrences within the property as well as their guests. Before long, the owners sought out a paranormal investigation team to finally answer all their questions.

The investigation revealed that in the early 20th Century, the home’s original owner William Chapman had a sickly daughter and he hired a nanny to watch over her. His daughter ended up passing away after befriending the nanny and by 1957 the nanny passed away as well. As a result, doors open and close frequently within the modern-day bed and breakfast without anyone by them. Footsteps hurriedly passing back and forth in rooms overhead and down hallways also have been audibly heard for decades. The most chilling of all to guests and employees there is the female voices that can be heard talking back and forth in a room, holding a full conversation while absolutely nobody is in there. The current owners of the Chapman Inn are fully cognizant of the paranormal activity here and encourage any visitors who experience the phenomenon there to take pictures or video and share it.

Foley House Inn

Savannah, Georgia

The Haunted Foley House Inn

Savannah is routinely recognized along with New Orleans as being the most haunted city in the Deep South. The Foley House Inn is tightly located within Savannah’s Historic District and is quite active. The inn was constructed in 1896 by Honoria Foley, the widow of a wealthy Irish immigrant who has the distinction of making the Foley House the first bed and breakfast constructed in Savannah. Interestingly enough, the inn was constructed over the charred remains of some buildings that were burned down during the Great Savannah Fire of 1889. Undeterred, it wasn’t until a mild renovation in 1897 when skeletal remains were found within the inn.

Since the discovery of the remains, there have been untold amounts of paranormal sightings on the property. Affectionately, the remains were called, “Wally” by employees and Wally is said to be the main spirit haunting the bed and breakfast. Rushes of wind have passed by guests sitting in their rooms when not only nobody is in the room, but the doors and windows are shut thus providing no explanation for the mysterious gusts.

Another is a man in period clothing with a top hat who wanders the garden late at night forever searching for something only known to him. Cold spots and other strange noises are said to be an all too common thing in the Foley House. Today, the bed and breakfast enjoys success from the Historic District business in Savannah as well as being one of the more popular stops along the city’s many ghost tours.

Paranormal ghost hunter and television show creator Zak Bagans is a man who is on almost a never-ending quest to search for the truth.  This quest is popularized by his own television show, Ghost Adventures.  In creating the show, he hoped to find answers to questions and has said of his paranormal missions, “There are things in this world that we will never fully understand. We want answers. We have worked years to build our credibility; our reputation. Working alongside the most renowned professionals in the field; capturing ground-breaking proof of the paranormal.  This is our evidence”.

Having such a firm grasp on the pulse of the supernatural, it came as no surprise that when Bagans learned of the Ammons House haunting and exorcism of Gary, Indiana, he wanted to step up and investigate how genuine and terrifying it was. Taking his mission to new heights, he did something that was a paranormal first for him.  He bought the actual Ammons House himself and chronicled it in a disturbing paranormal documentary, Demon House.

What happens in the Demon House?

Ammons Demon House

Latoya Ammons, along with her mother and three children, were horribly tormented by demons living in the new home in 2012. After months of battling the demons, as well as the authorities, the family ended up fleeing the home sometime in late 2013. This wasn’t before contacting local Catholic priest, Fr. Michael Maginot, who performed a spate of exorcisms.  While the exorcisms were proven effective, Latoya has refused to acknowledge or speak about what has gone on out of genuine fear of the demons in the house following her and her family.

Upon hearing this, Bagans purchased the house over the phone with a realtor in Gary, and a week later stepped foot on the premises for the first time ever with his crew.  Minutes into his tour of the home, Bagans was contacted by a psychic medium he knew over the phone who warns of a twelve-foot tall demon guardian that resides in the house and tells him to stay far away and leave.  Bagans remains committed and refused to leave.

To get more perspective on what truly happened in the house, Bagans does his best to pursue the whereabouts of Latoya and her family to interview them and inform them that he purchased the house.  Learning of a family apartment that Latoya resides in, he pursued the lead to discover she refuses to meet or speak with him about the house out of further fear that the demons there will terrorize them.

Latoya’s brother Kevin does, however, agree to speak with Bagans and tells him that children seemed to receive the brunt of the demon’s anger while in the house.  Bizarre ritualistic chanting, growling, and domestic violence was rampant.  After meeting with Bagans informally, Latoya kicked her own brother out of her new apartment over fears that after meeting with Bagans, the demons will find them and once again invade their lives.

Zac Bagans' Demon House

With more and more individuals refusing to speak with him, Bagans resorted to accessing police footage of the home after the Ammons initially fled.  He sought out a local police detective who had been in the home previously and agreed to go on camera with Bagans.  He alerts Bagans to an un-searched area of the home, under the basement steps to discover a patch of dirt flooring amidst a mostly concreted room.  Further discovery finds half melted and used candles that were likely associated with demonic rituals of some kind.   Short on more people willing to talk, as an instance of pure coincidence, a woman pulls up in a car by Bagans and tells him she was a former renter of the home before the Ammons family.

Bagans agrees to give the woman and her three teens a tour of the home to get a deeper perspective.  Giving her name as “Mica” she tells of strange noises and a sense of dread while living there.  She flat out refuses on camera to go down into the basement stating her brother used to live there with her and his room was in the basement and she had constant nightmares of his death.  Mica’s brother was shot and killed only months later after having the dreams.

Midway through the documentary, Bagans is able to locate DCS Investigator Valerie Washington who personally witnessed the demonic possession of the children. This included one of them walking backward up a hospital wall unassisted to a height of over twenty feet, before flipping straight off the ceiling.  She refuses to go near the house or meet Zak in person but agrees to a Skype session in which she informs him she no longer is in the area and had to leave due to the psychological trauma that she suffered and still has to receive therapeutic counseling for.

The Ammons Demon House

State of Indiana Intake Officer’s Report

Things soon began to unravel for Bagans in his documentary.  A crew member quits midway after being unable to handle the situation anymore.  To quell any skeptics, Bagans arranges for Dr. Barry Taff to check the geothermal activity around the house to prove there is nothing scientifically causing any hallucinations or unexplained activity in the house.   Using magnetic readings Dr. Taff discovers alarmingly high levels in the home.  Personally evaluating Bagans own body, Dr. Taff informs him that he’s giving off a magnetic reading of eight to twelve million times that of a normal human being.

Throughout the investigation, Taff experiences periods of dizziness and swaying.  After his visit, he’s hospitalized into intensive care after his major internal organs all simultaneously shut down.  Mica’s daughter, who visited Bagans earlier in the home attempts suicide.  To help Mica and her family, Bagans arranges for them to meet with Fr. Maginot and an on-camera exorcism is performed on her to free her soul from torment.

What happened to the Demon House?

To get to the bottom of everything once and for all, Bagans does something not recommended by his own crew, he accelerates the situation by literally boarding himself up within the house overnight.  Cameras placed in the home document his constant pacing and informal seances to manifest whatever is in the home.  Odd growls and wrappings instill a paranoia in Bagans who soon witnesses a black mass coming out of the wall from his own perspective and a painful stabbing sensation behind his eye sockets.  Dawn comes and Bagans rushes to a doctor to find out his eyes are crossed with double vision and he’s afflicted with a condition knows as diplopia.  Surgery is ruled out as it could cause permanent blindness, and instead, Bagans is forced to wear prism glasses as he’s informed that his eye condition is indeed permanent.

Ammons Demon House

In a final battle, Bagans hires a crew that totally demolishes the home as he cites to the camera that the home is cursed and he wants nobody else to become afflicted by it.  True to his love for the paranormal, Bagans keeps the basement stairs and buckets of dirt from the flooring as keepsakes to remind him just how real his mission truly was.

Published by FrightFind On August 25, 2018

In late April 2012, an anonymous phone call was placed to Indiana’s Department of Children’s Services in which claims of neglect and child abuse were reported against a Gary, Indiana woman named Latoya Ammons. DCS Case Manager Valerie Washington was assigned to investigate the claims reported, but nothing in her training was about to prepare her for the demonic activity to come.

History of the Ammons House Hauntings

Beginning six months prior in November 2011, Latoya Ammons, a single mother of three children, along with her mother Rosa Campbell, moved into a small and nearly one-hundred-year-old house on Gary’s southeastern side city limits. In similar fashion to the Amityville Horror, the Ammons troubles began when they moved into the home and found it was infested with swarms of black flies. Weeks passed as attempts were made to properly fumigate when the children reported seeing a shadow man moving between the bedrooms. Shoe prints from an oversized boot were soon found throughout the home.

The Ammons Demon House

As the months began to pass into 2012, mounting tension grew within the house. Fighting and destructive behavior began to occur frequently among the children. No room in the home was truly free from the constant noises caused by the children. In the basement, a dirt floor was discovered under the stairs, but that was not enough to sway Latoya and her mother from putting the washer and dryer for the household laundry down there. Mounting cold spots were known to form at an instant and then dissipate in the basement along with the rest of the home.

To combat the feelings of constant negativity, the Ammons family turned to nearby Protestant clergymen to come to the house for a blessing. Upon the finished blessing, the activity increased to a continuous loud bang, dark shadows prowling the home, and the children brutalizing one another. Police were dispatched to the home often for noise complaints, and Gary Police Captain Charles Austin, a hardened twenty plus year veteran of the force, was so shaken after one visit to the home, he refrained from further visits unless accompanied by more officers.

The Ammons Demon House

State of Indiana Intake Officer’s Report

Late April 2012, is when the call for help was made to the outside world. DCS Case Manager Washington was briefed on the case after Latoya had taken the children to their pediatrician in a weak attempt to diagnose their increasingly violent behaviors. The doctor, in turn, referred them to the local emergency room after it was reported that objects at the doctor’s office briefly levitated and were thrown against walls by an unseen force. Immediately they were taken to the local emergency room, and doctors quickly assessed the children and placed them in a psychiatric wing right there at Northlake Hospital.

While interviewing the children separately, a nurse, hospital official, and Washington herself all personally witnessed loud and aggressive growls from the middle child in particular. The other two children were reported to have unnaturally deep voices and bulging eyes within their sockets. Unfazed by the attempted psychological assessment and medical intervention, all three adults then personally witnessed the middle child walk upright unassisted against a hospital wall up to the ceiling and then backflip down behind them at a height of an estimated twenty feet!

The Ammons Demon House

State of Indiana Intake Officer’s Report

After a dizzying weekend of analyzation, medication, and mental therapies of all kinds given to Latoya, her mother, and all three children, the hospital and DCS Case Manager Washington found absolutely no evidence of abuse or mental handicap of any kind. Desperate for any answer as financial obstacle prevented her from moving to a different home, Latoya then chose to reach out to the local psychic community for clues to her ever-worsening situation. An anonymous clairvoyant visited the home, and despite burning sage and covering doorways in blessed oils, they ended up leaving and informing Latoya they could feel the presence of over two hundred demons occupying the home!

Zak Bagans goes to the Ammons House

Local news stations picked up on haunted home and stories about the situation went viral. It was not long before help arrived in the form of Father Michael Maginot, a local Catholic exorcist. Father Maginot of St. Stephen, the Martyr Church, had been tipped off by the Northlake Hospital chaplain who explained the dire situation troubling the Ammons family. After a somewhat minor blessing of the children and the home, Father Maginot gained approval for a full exorcism with permission from Bishop Dale Melczeck in June 2012. Collectively it took three full exorcisms to free Latoya and the children from the evil that had taken over their lives.


Wishing to start their lives over and away from the house, Latoya ended up leaving the home. It was purchased by another family who reported no further demonic activity. In early 2014, the unnamed owners sold the house for $35,000 to paranormal expert, Ghost Adventures host, Zak Bagans. Purchasing the home with the intent to discover and expose the notorious paranormal activity, it ended up being displayed in a highly controversial documentary, Demon House.

Sarah Winchester, born Sarah Lockwood Pardee in 1840, spent the latter half of her life concealed under dark veils roaming throughout the grand mansion she had constructed around herself. Her odd dress and strange architectural choices were often criticized, but she never faltered as she watched her family die around her over the years. The construction never stopped as she tried to flee from the evil spirits that closed upon her and her family.

Sarah Winchester - Winchester Mystery House

After the untiling death of Sarah Winchester’s newborn daughter, father-in-law, and husband, she went looking for answers and eventually turned to spiritualists. A distraught Winchester wanted to know why her family had been so quickly taken from her. The spiritualist told Winchester that her family was cursed by the thousands killed by the Winchester Rifle. At this time, the Winchester Rifle was used all across the country and quickly became the rifle of choice for many.

The guns popularity left Sarah Winchester with quite a handsome fortune after the passing of her husband but also left quite a bit of blood on the family name. The spiritualist relaid to Winchester that the spirits killed by the Winchester Rifle took her family as recompense for all their lives lost and put a curse on her. She suggested to Winchester that she should move West and build a house. As long as she kept building, she would live forever, break the curse that hung over her family name, and keep the revenge-driven spirits at bay. Winchester heeded the spiritualist advice and moved West to San Jose, California where the sprawling haunted Winchester Mystery Mansion still remains.

The Winchester House Construction

Sarah Winchester purchased an eight-room farmhouse and began its transformation in 1886. A crew of carpenters worked in shifts so that the construction would be constant. In the 38 years of work, 500-600 rooms were constructed but due to an earthquake in 1903, the towering seven-story structure was reduced to four. The natural disaster destroyed dozens of rooms, only 161 rooms still remain open to the public. Instead of being rebuilt, parts of the mansion were blocked off.

The Winchester Mystery House

Sarah Winchester was constantly adding and renovating rooms with no clear floor plan being followed. In a small room with three doors and a trap door, referred to as The Blue Room or The Seance Room was said to be the place where Winchester would have nightly chats with the good spirits who were there to help her plan out of build the house. The following mornings, she would discuss at length with the foreman about the day’s work. As luxurious as the house was, it was built in a curious fashion.

There are doors that lead into brick walls, stairs that go to the ceiling, and a door that opens to a two-story fall into the bushes below. Apparently, all these strange architectural choices were in hopes of confusing the evil spirits that were after Winchester. The unusually narrow passageways and confusing room structures are also what make the Winchester Mystery House such a popular attraction centuries after being built.

Is The Winchester Mystery House Haunted?

Daisy Bedroom - Winchester Mystery House

The amount of supernatural occurrences also draws quite a large amount of tourists. Considering Sarah Winchester communicated with spirits every night, it’ll come as no surprise that the small, confine Seance Room has the most paranormal activity in the mansion.

The third floor, that was the servants quarters when Winchester was alive, have been said to be just as active. Guest and staff have heard voices calling their names, the sound of screws being unscrewed and lightly falling to the hardwood floor, footsteps hurrying to and fro, and a full body apparition of an old caretaker named Clyde. A member of the mansion’s staff said that Clyde can be seen shuffling along with a wheelbarrow of coal to and from where an old furnace used to be. If he notices you, he will nod politely and continue on like it’s just another day of work.

Stairs to Nowhere - Winchester Mystery House

Another member of the staff stumbled down a small flight of steps and heard a voice behind her ask, “Are you okay?” When she looked behind her, no physical body accompanied the voice. She felt a presence beside her as she picked herself up off the floor and hurried away. Numerous people have claimed to see Sarah Winchester herself, either sitting in her bedroom or roaming the labyrinth of a mansion as she did in life.

When Winchester died in her bed in 1922 at the age of 83, construction immediately came to a halt. Some say the construction stopped so suddenly that half hammered nails stuck out of the walls.
