Those of you keeping your eyes on the weirder side of news reporting no doubt read a pretty intriguing piece by the Indianapolis Star this week, a story that dealt with levitating, possessed children in a haunted home. Now, the star of Ghost Adventures has taken the house off their crucifix-clutching hands.


Last week, it was reported that a family in Gary, Indiana had been dealing with a violent haunting for the last three years, one of Amityville Horror proportions. Instead of bumps in the night, numerous credible witnesses watched in horror as children spoke in deep, guttural voices, levitated in the air, and even walked on the ceiling. The paranormal activity got so bad so that local priests were called in.. as well as the local police.


According to the Indianapolis Star, the case even made believers out of the police captain:

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 as a way to make money. But after several visits to their home and interviews with witnesses, Austin said simply, "I am a believer."


After the activity failed to subside, the tormented family took the advice of a local psychic and got the hell out. According to the medium, there were over 200 demons infesting the residence, and the chances of a priest banishing them all was slim to none.

Enter Zak Bagans, the tiny t-shirt wearing, hardcore demon fighter from Travel Channel's hit series Ghost Adventures.


Bagans, who has a reputation for screaming at invisible monsters, threw his Ed Hardy hat in the ring and offered to purchase the demonic property for a mere $35,000. According to the Star, the offer was accepted.


"It's not entertainment," he told the Star. "I really do have a passion for this stuff and the research aspect of this stuff."

No telling on what Bagans plans to do when the purchase goes through, but considering he's the guy who turned his Las Vegas condo into a faux-dungeon torture chamber, it's a safe bet that it's going to be tacky as all hell.
