The infamous Exorcist Stairs

The Exorcist is labeled universally amongst film fans as the scariest motion picture ever made. There are others that come close in terms of gory special effects or a sudden plot twist late in the third act. But The Exorcist is still regarded 45 years later as a film that will terrify and disturb. Being a film that old, movie memorabilia and props from the set are very rare amongst collectors.

With only a portion of the cast still alive today, hardcore fans and film buffs are straining to share in a piece of historically shocking film. However, there is still one piece around today that gets plenty of visits both day and night and is completely free to use. The infamous, “Exorcist stairs.”

What are The Exorcist Stairs?

The Exorcist is a 1973 horror film that is based on the novel by William Blatty. The book was inspired by the real-life story of a 14-year-old boy who was believed to have suffered from demonic possession in a house in Missouri. The Exorcist House can be found in a suburb of St. Louis called Bel-Nor.

The Exorcist Stairs were used in the movie version to showcase the violent demise of the character Father Damien Karras.

Director William Friedkin chose to have the movie filmed in the heart of Georgetown, which is deep within Washington D.C, so as to keep the film as close to the book as possible. William Peter Blatty wrote both the novel and screenplay for the film, and being an actual graduate of Georgetown University, he was all too familiar with locations around the city.

The stairs themselves were physically located in the Georgetown neighborhood and were originally constructed sometime between 1890-1895. Their purpose was to ensure employees could make it in and out of the Capital Traction Company which was a railway car line that housed the cars next door.

Over the years, Capital moved and the stairs were seldom used. As a student of Georgetown, Blatty and his friends all jokingly referred to those steps as the “Hitchcock Steps” due to the fact that they were dreadful to approach and go up or down, be it day or night. This coupled with Alfred Hitchcock being the most prolific horror and suspense director at the time, Blatty was already plotting out just how to showcase the stairs in a novel he had long been working on, The Exorcist.

The stairs are still around and much frequented as a popular tourist attraction to this very day and anyone is free to visit and dare to climb the stairs. They actually number seventy-five total and are reputed to be a heavy cardiovascular experience, even for the most physically fit. In October 2015, the stairs were actually recognized as a Washington D.C. area landmark, replete with a plaque commemorating the occasion.

Where are the Exorcist Stairs?

The Exorcist Stairs are located at the corner of Prospect St. NW & 36th St. NW in the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, DC.

The Ammons Haunting

In the winter of 2011, Latoya Ammons was under incredible scrutiny for claiming that her house and family were possessed by several demons. The Ammons House haunting was documented in over 800 pages of official records from local police and the Department of Child Services in what may be one of the most well-known hauntings since the Conjuring or Amityville hauntings.

Is the Ammons house haunted?

In November of 2011, Latoya Ammons and her family moved into their new home in Gary, Indiana. It didn’t take long for strange things to happen. Even though it was winter, swarms of flies would appear on the front porch. “We killed them and killed them and killed them, but they kept coming back,” said Latoya’s mother.

Latoya Ammons

Many evenings the family heard footsteps coming from the basement stairs and even witnessed a shadowy figure of a man walking through the house. This would be enough to make anyone nervous about who else was living in the house, but things got worse.

State of Indiana Intake Officer’s Report

A few months later Latoya’s daughter called out to her in the middle of the night. When she entered her room her daughter was levitating above the bed. Not knowing how to handle the situation, Latoya reached out to local churches, but most refused to help.

Finally, she reached out to two clairvoyants, who said the family’s home was occupied by more than 200 demons. Their advice? Move! But moving wasn’t in the cards for this penny-pinching family. So she decided to fight the demons. She built an altar in the basement, covered in a white sheet, and opened a bible. Things got better for a few days but then escalated.

The family said that all three children were under possession from demons. Their eyes would bulge, and their voices would somehow become much deeper. Sometimes they were even physically assaulted by the spirits. They were thrown across the room, choked, and held down so they couldn’t move. Latoya needed another option.

The Ammons finally reached out to their family physician, Dr. Geoffrey Onyeukwu. “Twenty years and I’ve never heard anything like that in my life,” Onyeukwu said. “I was scared myself when I walked into the room.” Ammons’ son began speaking in demonic voices and cursed at the doctor. Other medical staff said the boy was”lifted and thrown into the wall with nobody touching him,” according to a DCS report.

State of Indiana Intake Officer’s Report

Hospital personnel examined the family and found them to be healthy and free of any injuries. A hospital psychiatrist determined Latoya Ammons was of “sound mind.”  Regardless of this, DCS took custody of the children, noting in their report, “All of the children were experiencing (sic) spiritual and emotional distress.

After more than six months and leaving the home, the Ammons family was reunited. The next tenants never reported any paranormal experiences.

Where is the Ammons Demon House Located?

The Ammons House was located at 3860 Carolina St, Gary, Indiana, 46409 until ghost hunter Zak Bagans bought the home and tore it down in 2014. You can move the home, but can you move the spirits?

Zak Bagans’ Demon House

Ammons house being demolished

In 2014, paranormal investigator and star of Travel Channel’s Ghost Adventures, Zak Bagans,  purchased the Gary, Indiana home for $35,000.  After investigating the house, Bagans said “Something was inside that house that had the ability to do things that I have never seen before — things that others carrying the highest forms of credibility couldn’t explain either. There was something there that was very dark yet highly intelligent and powerful.” He then had the house demolished as it was deemed too dangerous.

“This is the case that really f***ed me up,” Bagans tells us in the opening of his documentary Demon House. He and his team of ghost hunters spent two years investigating the Ammons house and creating this documentary on the hauntings of the house in Gary. Bagans also included Father Maginot in the documentary, a local Catholic priest who performed exorcisms on the house and some of the victims.

“Going in unprotected really messed with [Bagans], and also it led to the destruction of the house, which is something I disagreed with. I think he could have protected a lot more people [by] owning it, locking it up so people won’t mess around with this. Now that it’s an open lot, as it mentions in the documentary, people are going there doing seances or whatever, and the police have to get called out… to chase the people away. Those people are in great danger, and there’s no way to really protect [them]. And all you need is curiosity. Curiosity is an invitation.” -Father Maginot

What Stands at 3860 Carolina St, Gary, Indiana today?

Since Zak Bagans tore down the old Ammons House, the lot remains empty with only the tree that stood in front of the home still standing. Zak Bagans moved the Ammons stairway to the basement, AKA the stairway to hell, to The Haunted Museum in Las Vegas, Nevada. In the Vegas museum, you’ll also find some of the excavated dirt, ritual items discovered by police, and other artifacts.

Nightmare on Edgewood (1927 S. Meridian) opens for its 42nd season on Friday, Sept. 25. All 2020 attractions will adhere to health and safety guidelines.

New this year is THE CINEMA, where guests will find themselves stepping directly into their favorite scenes from iconic horror movies. Also new is CONLEY FARM, a dilapidated barnyard and stable crawling with violent and grossly deformed farmhands, the unfortunate victims of hazardous farming chemicals. At EDGEWOOD SANITARIUM, the doctors enforce inhumane practices as they work to “cure” the residents’ deranged minds, and the patients often riot in resistance. For an additional $5, guests can also experience SHADOWS ESCAPE, Indiana’s only 3D audio sensory experience.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and adhering to CDC and local health and guidelines, Nightmare on Edgewood has implemented the following measures for its 2020 season: all actors will adhere to temperature checks at clock in and will be wearing masks onsite, all guests will get temperature checks and must wear face masks upon entry, hand sanitizer stations will be available to customers onsite, ticket holders standing in line will be asked to stand six feet apart, limited capacity to maintain social distancing while guests are in the attractions, all ticket holders will only enter the haunt with members of their own group, and the Fast Pass line has been transitioned into a timed ticketing system. Guests purchasing a Fast Pass ticket will select a date and time for their arrival, and thus experience a significantly shorter wait to get in. Read more about Nightmare on Edgewood’s COVID-19 precautions at https://www.nightmareonedgewood.com/post/covid. 

Established in 1978, this season marks Nightmare on Edgewood’s 42nd year in operation. The Cook brothers acquired the haunt in 2009 and continue to uphold its reputation as Indy’s Most Intense Haunted House. Nearly 50 volunteer actors occupy the halls of Nightmare on Edgewood each season, while an additional 12-15 staff (including volunteers from the Greenwood Fire Department) assist with parking, ticket sales, and general maintenance and management of the haunt.

“We are proud to be part of the legacy of Nightmare on Edgewood, bringing thrills and chills to the local community for more than four decades” said co-owner Paul Cook. His brother and co-owner Kevin Cook added, “The haunts continue to get bigger and better every year, and we appreciate each and every one of our patrons who come along for the ride – we don’t take it for granted and are committed to the health and safety of our guests above all else.”
