Ghost hunters ran out of Louisiana 'Amityville Horror' home as 'evil black mass' started to suck their energy
Two ghost hunters seem to have had a terrifying experience at a home that has been compared to the 'Amityville Horror' house. The paranormal investigators shared that they "ran out" of a 'haunted' Louisiana house after they had been 'confronted by an evil spirit'. The house that is located in Youngsville had been built in the 1930s and is being given away for free.
The seller has been struggling to sell the property after previous occupants and visitors have claimed that it is creepy, The Sun reveals. A former resident, Dawn Vallot DeClout, claims that the being that occupies the house is her own great-grandmother, Adele, who lived till she was 90 and can be heard stirring pots and pans in the kitchen.
Others have claimed that there are many other spirits, some of whom are much less welcoming than Adele. Ghost hunters Cindy Parr and Greg Matlock Senior have been to the home and have shared that the paranormal activity drained the batteries in their equipment and shut out a light before they saw a black figure.
Cindy shared, "On the second day, we actually went in and stayed the night, it killed five of our batteries. They feed off the energy. We asked for a sign if it wanted us to leave, and it shut down a light, we were like, okay, but we didn't leave yet."
"The bedroom door that was Ms Adele's, that opened up and then closed. It is definitely haunted, it was very creepy," Cindy added. Click for the video here.
While the two looked around the house, Greg who films footage for their YouTube channel claims they were confronted by an "evil spirit" in one of the bedrooms at around 2 am.
"I turned into the room and saw this black mass standing there, it wasn't a shadow or anything like that, it was pretty wide. I don't think it was the older lady, I think it was something totally different, the figure was bigger and stood about 6ft."
"It started to turn and I just thought, 'Oh no' and ran out, I was done, it was unbelievable, everything just slowed down. It wasn't just me seeing it, it was what I felt when it was there, you could feel the power, it was bad, not a good situation to be in at all. We got out and I was definitely exhausted, it draws energy from you, my chest was even hurting."
Greg added that the pair prayed and also considered just calling it off and going home after the encounter but decided to go back inside. Greg says things only got weirder from that point on. "We could hear scratches on the walls, growls, it even started to smell like urine upstairs, that's not just your average ghost, that's something really bad," he said.
"It was like watching 'Amityville Horror' on TV, but we were living it. That house is definitely the worst house I've ever been in," said Greg who has visited many many haunted houses for more than 20 years.
McLain Investments' co-owner Sylvia McLain had posted the listing on Facebook a while ago where many users commented saying that the property was haunted. One such comment read, "I knew someone who rented it. I've been in it. It is a lot less 'antique' than you'd expect. More like someone updated it in the '60s. Did have a lot of weird noises in the ceilings and walls though!"
