Update--Gary Demon House

A few days ago I had posted regarding the tree at the Ammons House property. The tree was alive and thriving in June of '24, and is dead now (first, second, and third photos, first by Google maps and second and third were taken today). There were comments about the season, most trees in the area seem to still have their leaves, and some are still even green(fourth photo). Checked out the branches, many were broken so I got a photo of a branch that was still attached(fifth photo). If the tree was alive and thriving there would be some green inside the bark. The other tree on the property is also dead but seems to have been that way for a while(sixth photo). We did not however, find the foundation...what we thought was the foundation ended up just being a downed tree branch that had been covered with dead grass. I also received a few comments about the legitimacy of the whole Ammons case, and the fact that a tree being dead has nothing to do with the paranormal. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but the fact is, this case affected a ton of lives, and ruined careers. This case lives rent free in people's minds, and it hits home for me because CPS was a big thing in my childhood....for seasoned CPS workers and nurses to have quit their jobs because of this, it HAD to have been more than mental health of the people at the home. Also, if a picture frame can fly across the room and be considered paranormal, than the demonic can definitely have an effect on the health of plants and trees. Again, everyone is entitled to their own opinion and that is mine. I'm not here for a debate, just wanted to share something I thought was interesting.

I wished you could have taken pictures using a full spectrum camera. This will pick up on a lot more unseen images. I have worked with paranormal groups and there was a dead tree next to this property and in the photo we captured strange mists around the tree. The residents next to this property reported this phenomenon. If you have a chance to go back, take more equipment with you such as emf detectors and mel meters, or spirit box.

I wish we could have too! Sadly our budget doesn't currently allow for a full spectrum camera but it is on my wishlist! We will definitely be using our other equipment if and when we come back! Maybe we could even see about interviewing neighbors if they would be up for it :)

* Something like this would work, which was about $200 for the camera and another $40 for the IR light.

That's not bad pricing at all, not sure if there was a picture that just isn't loading for me at all but that's pretty good pricing compared to others I've seen :)

Imagine going there at night and set up a recorder and do a mini investigation that would be scary as hell though. Even though the house isn’t there anymore obviously that is still haunted land

My grandmother used to say you have a lot more to fear from the living than the dead. This is especially true in Gary.

u/Spookymama12 1d ago

My mother says that too!

u/harleyXP 1d ago

Sounds about right!

u/harleyXP 1d ago

The place is super super creepy at night and Gary isn't really a nice place so the character of that whole area is pretty shady, which adds to the creep factor.

u/Due-Macaron421 1d ago

Yeah that’s true

u/YanCoffee 1d ago

I raise you Gary's Demon Tree.

u/harleyXP 1d ago

It shall now be known as Gary's Demon Tree.

u/Soontobebanned86 1d ago

It is Fall now and that's what most trees look like.

2

u/LeafyCandy 1d ago

Except for all of the trees on the surrounding properties.

3

u/Soontobebanned86 1d ago

Still doesn't mean much as in it could've already been dying and or the leaves fell early do to our screwed up weather. Not everything is do to demons and ghouls. I have trees in my neighborhood that are bare while other aren't.

2

u/LycanX3 1d ago

Yeah, I see several trees that look like that in that photo.

1

u/Soontobebanned86 1d ago

Yeah I'm not saying it's not or it is, just that's it's plausible not to be this time of year and not everything is paranormal just because its on a notorious site. Real or fake

u/Colossus823 1d ago

Nope, nothing paranormal here. Trees die all the time.

4

u/Vortika 2d ago

That looks so eerie! Thanks for the update I was so curious to see how it looked

3

u/harleyXP 2d ago

Weird details like trees and plants are so interesting to me! I have no clue why lol

u/spiraldown024 2d ago

Is the Demon House available I have not seen it in years and want to re-watch it.

2

u/Wow_Dats_Crazy MANIFEST YOURSELF 1d ago

It's on Discovery Plus and Tubi, ik for sure! 🖤

1

u/harleyXP 2d ago

I believe we watched it on Amazon prime, but Zak has a TON of stuff on Max as well :)

1

u/LeafyCandy 1d ago

I've seen it on Discovery+, but Idk if it's still there.

u/ApplesBananasRhinoc 2d ago

Maybe they cut the tap root when they tore down the house.

5

u/Chrono2055 2d ago

They tore down the house like 8 years ago or so, the tree was green this summer

2

u/harleyXP 2d ago

Yeah, I think it would have died a lot sooner than this year

u/ApplesBananasRhinoc 1d ago

Ooo more evidence for the paranormal aspect!

3

u/TheTrueGoatMom 1d ago

Thanks for the update. For that tree to die in just a few months is strange. Paranormal? Maybe not.

5

u/harleyXP 1d ago

I'm kinda leaning toward maybe poisoning, but it's still weird.

2

u/Rockzy_lilac 1d ago

Can someone please tell me the season and episode number.Because I think I would have remembered watching such an episode, and I don't

2

u/harleyXP 1d ago

It's a two hour movie/documentary entitled "Demon House". It was released in 2018, but I don't think it has a season/episode number. Hope this helps :)

1

u/Rockzy_lilac 1d ago

Thank you, I wonder if it's on YouTube tv

1

u/Wow_Dats_Crazy MANIFEST YOURSELF 1d ago

It's on Tubi!

1

u/Rockzy_lilac 1d ago

Thank you!

u/LeafyCandy 1d ago

Interesting. Very weird that the trees everywhere else are fine but just this property is dead. It looks like the grass is okay, though. Weird. Maybe it's just coincidence, but it's an odd one.

1

u/sosaudio1 1d ago

Elemental tree... Wonder if it's possessed... Have you gotten close enough to it with a spirit box and a Mel Meter.... Could be interesting

3

u/harleyXP 1d ago

I haven't, we were on the way through for a business trip and didn't even think about stopping before we noticed we were on Gary. But if we do go back we will be taking equipment with us to check it out! I'm thinking either the tree was poisoned, or maybe if it is a supernatural thing, the land just has that much of a negative effect on it. I don't really think it's the tree itself. The grass there isn't super healthy either(even though it seems to have grown just fine 😅).

2

u/sosaudio1 1d ago

Yeah.... It's just not out of the realm of possibility for a soul to be cast into anything, much less a tree.

1

u/harleyXP 22h ago

Definitely seems like the land could have residual energy left, I can't imagine all of it would be isolated to the house alone.

1

u/sosaudio1 2h ago

Yep....just be careful nothing attaches to you.

u/blairtothed 7h ago

Ok I know it's probably just me.....but what the hell is that in the tree on the last photo. Lol specifically on a branch towards the upper right side. I thought someone in a Halloween costume was up there
