#13 The House Where Latoya Ammons Lived With Her Family. This Is A Photo Taken By The Police. A Figure Appears To Show Itself In The Window At Right That Is Believed To Be Demonic
Austin, a 36-year veteran of the Gary Police Department, said he initially thought Indianapolis resident Latoya Ammons and her family concocted an elaborate tale of possessions by demons as a way to make money. But after several visits to their home and interviews with witnesses, Austin said simply, “I am a believer”.
Furthermore, the family’s story is made only more bizarre because it involves a DCS intervention, a string of psychological evaluations, a police investigation and, ultimately, a series of exorcisms.
It’s a tale, that started with flies.

#17 Ghost Sighting At The Pirate House In Savannah, Ga.
My family and I went there to eat at the Pirate House and we were told that it was haunted so after dinner we decided to walk around a little bit and take pictures just to see if anything would pop up. We didn’t expect much of anything but thought it was fun either way. When I looked through my pictures of the trip I found this photo. It was taken in a hallway… A completely empty hallway. I used a Motorola Droid. This photo has been unedited other than a little bit of cropping.

#30 Polaroid Picture Of A Fried, Face Seems To Be Peaking Out Behind Her. Everybody Was Behind The Cameraman
Nobody was behind her, the only people in the house were crowded around the camera person.The only editing here is the face blur. The area behind her is in another pic. The coat on the door hanger is behind the girls shoulder in the polaroid, it doesn’t make sense for the angle. You can tell by the square detailing on the doors to gauge the height of each thing. We can’t explain this.
