That is strange, but Im not sure why anyone would call police if such things are happening, just like it turned out, what could they do?.
There was another case like this not long ago, I forget where, but it was somewhere in the US, where a young boy was showing violent signs of being possessed, and a handful of people, including police and a social services agent saw this boy literally walk up a wall.

It isn’t likely the call was made to the police: “Help! There’s a poltergeist in my house!” The news report is merely stating that the police answered a call for help, and now people are attributing the situation to a “poltergeist.”
An almost identitical situation occurred in the UK in 1977. The case is quite famous, known as the Enfield Poltergeist, and it began with practically the same situation. In August of 1977 police were called out to a similar like home in Enfield due to events that were later attributed to a “poltergeist.” In fact, a recent blockbuster film was released called “The Conjuring 2” giving a Hollywood treatment and taking a bit of poetic license to the actual story.
But why call the police? People who don’t believe in ghosts or are not religious have often done this when they encountered what later gets described as a haunting. A dear friend of mine who was hired to be a caretaker of a baptist church called the police one night to report an intruder on the property just two days after my friend started in his new position. The problem? All the lights in the church building had come on, and the only switch that enabled one to do this was a master switch in a small dressing room behind the sanctuary. Not believing in ghosts, what else could my friend do when all the lights suddenly went on in the middle of the night? The church building was locked. It was night. No one else was supposed to be on the property. It had to be an intruder, right?
When the pastor was called by the police and told why the caretaker had called, the pastor told the police that their help was appreciated but not necessary. There was no “intruder” they had to worry about.
The next day the pastor explained to my friend that the church building was haunted. Even though their denomination did not look favorably on any such belief, he explained that lights commonly go on and off on their own, the organ was known to play a few cords by itself, and occasionally figures could be seen walking around on the property, sometimes wearing what appeared to be baptismal robes.
The pastor himself had called the police on his first encounter with the activity when a closet had opened and select items began flying out one by one before a window opened and shut right before his eyes. Because a belief in ghosts was “against his religion,” he did the next thing you do in an emergency: phoned the police.

The case in Indiana on Carolina Street was the one where the police and Child Protective Services were involved. The children and the mother were impacted by a demonic haunting. The boy walked up the wall backwards.
The reason the authorities were called was that the children had issues with all this, and they thought the mother encouraged it. She did not. They all needed exorcisms.
Since then the house has been torn down.

It’s interesting how the Catholic Church is turned to for issues like this. I certainly hope that the house blessing works to take care of the issue and maybe the family can return to the home if they are not to frightened. I don’t know if I could.
