In 2011, a quiet rental home on Carolina Street in Gary, Indiana, became the center of one of the strangest and most terrifying modern haunting cases ever recorded.Known today as the ‘Demon House,’ this case involved swarms of black flies in the dead of winter, children speaking in guttural voices, and even a reported levitation witnessed by family members.Social workers and hospital staff filed official reports after claiming they saw a young boy walk backward up a wall. Police, priests, and doctors were baffled.Father Michael Maginot, a Catholic priest, performed multiple exorcisms. The case drew so much attention that paranormal investigator Zak Bagans purchased the home, documented his own disturbing encounters in the film Demon House, and eventually had the property demolished, claiming it was too dangerous to stand.Was this the work of 200 demons, as clairvoyants claimed? Or mass hysteria and fear feeding on tragedy?This is the story of the Gary, Indiana Demon House , a haunting so terrifying it became part of official state records.
