The Deliverance's real-life inspiration explained.
In its opening moments itself, The Deliverance establishes that it is based on a true story. This makes it hard not to wonder what happened to the real family that experienced the events of the film and how they dealt with the central hauntings. It also raises several questions about whether the movie closely follows the real-life events it was inspired by or takes creative liberties to overly dramatize what happened.
1 The Deliverance Is Inspired By The Real-Life Ammons Haunting Case The Ammons House Was Reportedly Haunted By Over 200 Demons Close Like Ebony, her mother, and her three children moved to a new home in The Deliverance, Latoya Ammons, her mother, and her three kids moved to a new neighborhood at 3860 Carolina Street in Gary, Indiana in November 2011. As per the family's claims, it was not long before they started noticing swarms of big black flies on their porch.
The family's account of the hauntings even reached the mainstream media, and a DCS personnel also claimed to have seen the youngest child in the family "walking up the wall backward." The family later reached out to clairvoyants who claimed their house was haunted by more than 200 demons, earning it the name 200 Demons House. Eventually, a priest, Reverend Michael Maginot, performed three exorcisms in their house, while Latoya Ammons performed one.
In his investigative file, The 200 Demons’ House: A Skeptical Demonologist’s Report , Joe Nickell also mentions that a psychologist named Tracy Wright interviewed the youngest son. According to the psychologist, the young boy only "acted possessed" every time he was questioned and even avoided answering several questions about the family's paranormal experiences.
During her preparation for the film, Director Lee Daniels also reportedly met Loyota Ammons. She said that the movie was only an interpretation of Ammons' story and that Ammons "was at peace." Although Loyota Ammons and her family have stayed away from the limelight, Daniels' account assures they are well and living peacefully.
