Richie Freebird Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I enjoyed that article Ebb. It lead me to other interesting ones too, via links at the bottom of the page. Astro’s Minnesota Iceman link was a good read too which lead to some other cracking articles. Keep them coming gents, this thread is a fantastic source of interesting reading. Awesome stuff.

Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted January 30, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted January 30, 2014 (edited) Has anybody been following this wacky story from the US? A woman claims her house is possessed and is doing some Amityville shit to her and her family. From the *BBC* website..  http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/25943051  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 [may be] performing for the mother and... she's encouraging the behaviour Unnamed witness  "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."  At other times Ms Ammons said she saw her daughter "levitate" out of her bed, while the 12-year-old also reported being "thrown across the room and grabbed by dark shadows".  Elsewhere in the reports, it shows that an unnamed witness had suggested the "mother may have mental health concerns". ( She does look well weird from the newspaper pic I saw )  "Whenever you would praise God in Latin, no reaction. But you start condemning the demon, condemning the evil spirit, all of a sudden she [the child] is reacting to that" Hospital chaplain Rev Mike Maginot  They also said it may be that the "children are performing for the mother and that she's encouraging the behaviour".  The three children were removed from the family home by authorities after the reports were filed.  According to the Indianapolis Star, the day after the children were taken from Ammons, the hospital chaplain called on Rev Mike Maginot to carry out an exorcism on the children and their mother.  "Whenever you would praise God in Latin, no reaction," he said.  "But you start condemning the demon, condemning the evil spirit, all of a sudden she [the child] is reacting to that."  The children were returned six months later when the problems subsided.  There are now new tenants in the property and the landlord has not received any further reports of demonic possession.

Paid Members chokeout Posted March 3, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted March 3, 2014 Did anything ever happen with the Rick Dyer / Bigfoot press conference thing?. Had a quick search but all I could see were videos of him doing his carny road trip and him basically admitting it's fake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members waters44 Posted March 3, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted March 3, 2014 I think he claimed the government confiscated "the body" but could be wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Coconut Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 It's clearly the most reasonable explanation. Pesky governments, always confiscating new species. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Just got watching Shooting Bigfoot. Is this Rick Dyer the film flam artist that's been refered to before in this thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
