Comment: I occasionally post a few stories about anomalous events and occurrences. Any physicist worth his salt will tell you that reality traverses many more densities and dimensions then merely the physical. These dimensions have been dressed up and re-interpreted via religion, folklore and mythology. Nonetheless, reality is like a radio station and depending on your level of awareness and/or sensitivity it is possible to tune in to the relevant frequency of a given density and/or dimension but perceive phenomena housed in that reality. Due to a mix of environmental, biological and spiritual factors various phenomena indicative of a very vibrant and rich Universe can seep through. According to your belief system - religious or materialist - this can be deeply unsettling. The story below is another one that made it to the mainstream, despite the fact that such events happen much more often than we realise.
--------------------
A woman and three children who claimed to be possessed by demons. A 9-year-old boy walking backward up a wall in the presence of a family case manager and hospital nurse.
Gary police Capt. Charles Austin said it was the strangest story he had ever heard.
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."

Not everyone involved with the family was inclined to believe its incredible story. And many readers will find Ammons' supernatural claims impossible to accept.
But, whatever the cause of the creepy occurrences that befell the family — whether they were seized by a systematic delusion or demonic possession — it led to one of the most unusual cases ever handled by the Department of Child Services. Many of the events are detailed in nearly 800 pages of official records obtained by The Indianapolis Star and recounted in more than a dozen interviews with police, DCS personnel, psychologists, family members and a Catholic priest.
Ammons, who swears by her story, has been unusually open. While she spoke on condition her children not be interviewed or named, she signed releases letting The Star review medical, psychological and official records that are not open to the public — and not always flattering.
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, they say, that started with flies.
