The story revolves around a house in Gary, Indiana, known as the "Demon House". The home was inhabited by Latoya Ammons and her three children, who reported that demons were throwing them against the wall. This led to multiple visits from child protective services and the Lake County Sheriff's Department. The police found strange occurrences in the house, including an oily substance under the stairs, a political pin, women's underwear, and a lid from a cooking pot. The police also discovered that the family had moved out very recently due to the strange occurrences. The police report, written by Lieutenant Gruska, was filled with these strange findings and the family's claims of demonic activity.
