The Sallie House
A house possessed by a demonic entity masquerading as a little girl. Residents were scratched, burned, and physically attacked until they fled.
1993 - Present
Atchison, Kansas, USA
50+ witnesses
The Sallie House
It appears to be a sweet little girl named Sallie. But something far more sinister lurks in this Kansas house—and it draws blood.
The Legend
The story goes that a doctor once lived in the house:
- A little girl named Sallie came with severe abdominal pain
- The doctor performed emergency surgery
- The anesthesia failed—Sallie felt everything
- She died on the operating table from shock
- Her spirit remained, confused and angry
The Pickman Family (1993)
Tony and Debra Pickman moved in and experienced:
- Toys moving in the nursery (they had no children yet)
- Debra sensing a playful, childlike presence
- Tony being watched with hostility
- The entity seemed to like women but hate men
The Attacks on Tony
The violence escalated:
- Scratches appeared on Tony’s body—three parallel lines
- Some scratches bled, others burned
- He was pushed down stairs
- Objects were thrown at him
- He was set on fire (his shirt ignited)
- Nightmares of being pinned down
The attacks always targeted Tony, never Debra.
The Investigation
Multiple paranormal teams documented:
- Cold spots moving through rooms
- Photographs showing figures
- Objects moving on camera
- EVPs of a child’s voice
- The entity responding to questions
- Physical attacks on male investigators
The Revelation
Researchers concluded:
- “Sallie” is not a little girl
- The child presentation is a demonic ruse
- The entity feeds on fear and anger
- It specifically targets men
- Multiple entities may inhabit the house
The Pickman Departure
After two years, the Pickmans fled:
- Tony’s health was deteriorating
- The attacks were increasing
- Their unborn child might be at risk
- They left most possessions behind
Today
The Sallie House:
- Remains privately owned

The little girl is not what she seems. The Sallie House waits for its next victim.
