    In previous episodes, we have looked at instances where unwitting victims have been targeted by apparent demonic possession. But this week we examine a case in which an entire family were allegedly driven from their home by a host of demons, forcing them to enlist the help of both the church and the police in an effort to save their children.

      This is what I don't understand either. If it were just the mom, grandma, and kids telling stories with no other evidence then I can see the skepticism. But two professionals with no personal connection to the family witness a child walk backwards up a wall and onto the ceiling while having a 1000 yard stare and that's not grounds for at least "Ya, something's not right here...". Couple that with the oil like substance and its affects and I'd think there's something worth studying.

    I actually had a bit of an encounter years ago. I am from Gary and I used to live along the beach near Lake Michigan. It was in the middle of the Indiana dunes national park. Lake street in Miller. I was an adventurous kid and used to muck about in the woods and dunes around my house.
    Out there you get used to animal noises; deer raccoons, coyotes etc. but every now and again I’d hear howls, like. A man just yelling but disturbing. I’ve never seen anything but those screams always had me looking out into the trees wondering if something was gonna jump out.

      Yes. An investigation that produced nothing of interest and by destroying the poor-quality house ensuring no one can contradict his "findings". Taken in context of Bagans' other investigations, the lack of complaints from prior tenants and the issue of highly religious people reaching supernatural conclusions without expertise in investigating odd incidents this cannot be taken as more than a fireside story.

      That part is sadly an inaccuracy on behalf of the BTS team. Mr Ballen did an episode on this case where he reads directly from the official police report on this incident. In the report, its stated that the child walked backwards up the wall while pushing against his grandmother, then did a flip over his grandmothers head onto the ground.
      It's also an accuracy that there were any further tenants or that the family stayed in the house. The family had abandoned the house by the time the police got involved and it was bought by a paranormal investigator after the fact.

There have also been reports coming from some of the northern states and national parks of increases in wolf populations. And just about everywhere we are slowly seeing upticks in the populations of deer, elk, and the like. I suspect over the last year or so, with fewer hunters going out, it has allowed for a small boom in the populations of various species, resulting in territory growth as well

    To anyone who is interested in this case, I highly recommend watching Mr Ballen's video on this. He goes into much further detail and reads directly from the official police report on the incident.
    In it he shows the child never did walk on the wall or ceiling unassisted. Instead he walked back up the wall while pressing against his grandmothers hands before summersaulting over her. Mr Ballen also highlighted how the report stated the family had abandoned the property by the time the police got involved and there were no further tenants. The report also mentions that the female police officer only felt the pain in her finger and not her entire body.
    So while nothing nearly as extreme as what is said in this video is backed by police records. There are strong elements of truth and the report does very much hint towards a potentially paranormal explanation.

    This story gets more and more ludicrous each time it’s told. The little boy didn’t literally walk up the wall unaided and stand on the ceiling. Jesus Christ. He was holding his grandmother’s hand at the time and using her arm to push against, took 2 or 3 steps up the wall then flipped over her arm and landed on his feet. It wasn’t some otherworldly thing..it just seemed like something a little boy shouldn’t have been able to do. But certainly not impossible. I personally think this whole story can be chalked up to mental illness and the mother attempting to manipulate the system.

    The Supernatural is very real!
    I Moved into a house with my family at the age of 6 yrs old. I live there until I was 11 years old.
    We livec in this house for 5 yrs between 1976 - 1981. After experiencing a lot of Supernatural activity on a daily basis . My mother started doing some research with her professors about the property. After several months looking , she and her professors found some old documents at the college that stated our property was on ancient Indian burial ground. Even the nearby mountains have Indian pictographs that are protected by the federal government.
    This property is the real deal. We moved out in 1981. Bad things continue to happen even after we moved away. With us and with the people that purchase the property .
    I last visited the area in 2011. I introduced myself to the new owners and shared the information my mother found out with them. I found out that even to this very day the strange phenomenon continues on a daily basis! The new owners even had a priest come pray over the place but nothing changed.
    This property is in Hinkley California, in the Mojave desert in Southern California.
    Its the same little town that a movie was made with the actress Julia Roberts playing Erin Brockovich in the movie "Erin Brockovich" released in the year 2000. It is a true story about the towns water supply gets poisoned by the public works department.
    Many people ended up with cancer and died, my dad and aunt are two of them & my mother ended up with cancer while we lived there which has taken her life over the years from health problems.
    A lot of people have got sick and passed away!
    A lot of people have been ran out of town or forced to move because they cannot drink the water there. Their property has been purchased for a cheap price by the state because, no one can live there. then they are told they must move!
    The school that is in the movie is my old grade school I went to while living there from 1976 - 1981.
    The poison has spread throughout the community in all water pipes underground and leaks out into the underground water table. The school that I went to has been shut down for many years now. it is considered no longer safe for students because of this poison water problem.
    Unfortunately the entire town has become a ghost town over this. It wasn't very big to begin with! . It's as though, the area is cursed!

    Here is a story that happened to me when I was very young. I grew up in Franklin TN. One very late night my babysitter was driving us back from the movies back home. My parents were out for the weekend and my babysitter decided to take me to a movie that Saturday night. Anyway were coming back into Franklin on a fairly deserted stretch of road. The was forest and the occasional house on the right side and just fields on the left. Suddenly two flashing white lights started blinking in the field next to us. It looked like those lights that are on towers that warn low flying helicopters. There were two problems. One there were no structures in the fields to our left. Second they remained on our right side as we were driving meaning they were following us. We immediately started panicking and flipping out and drove as fast as we could. Right before the road connected to the main road (Lewisburg Pk.) the lights simply vanished as if they were turned off. I never spoke to my parents about what we saw and sadly as I grew up I lost contact with the babysitter. I often think about how I would love to see her today and ask if she still remembers.
