a little info you might like:
People in Amityville know all about the house on 112 Ocean Ave, but was the haunting for real or was it a deception? The whole ordeal was quite terrifying, and most people simply couldn’t believe it. A good number people seem to think that it was just a ruse, but most famous paranormal investigators still preserve that the house is haunted by an evil being; maybe demons, or even the devil. Perhaps they so badly WANT it to be haunted…
In November 1974, Ronald DeFeo, age 23, shot and killed his four siblings and both of his parents while high on heroin, using a .35 Marlin Rifle. According to DeFeo, he was being controlled by evil spirits and he heard voices throughout the duration of his stay in the house. After he killed his family he tried, unsuccessfully, to plea insanity; he was sentenced to six life sentences.
A year later, 1974, Kathy and George Lutz, along with their children, purchased and moved in to the $80,000 six bedroom Colonial with swimming pool and boathouse, located in the Long Island district of Amityville. Due to fearing for their lives, they moved out after only one month. In the following weeks, many strange things started happening. They made incredible claims of black ooze coming from toilets, doors blown off their hinges, mysterious teeth marks, a pit to hell in the basement, and bleeding walls.
The Lutz's youngest child encountered, in her bedroom, a pig with "glowing red eyes." George Lutz saw his wife, Kathy, levitating above their bed, and on another occasion, Lutz heard band music while in the living room and went to investigate. Failing to find the source, he returned to find the living room rug rolled up and the furniture moved around the room. Finally, during a torrential rainstorm, with winds of "hurricane strength", and the electric out, the Lutz's fled their house; they left their belongings behind.
About one year later, author Jay Anson had heard of the events in Amityville and contacted the Lutz family. He was then given exclusive rights to the bizarre story in exchange for 50% of the royalties received. Anson's story, "The Amityville Horror", soon became a best seller, and was thereafter made into a highly successful movie; and now there's even a sequel.
The Lutz's 30 days of torment had made his family, and the publisher, rather wealthy. It later turned out that George Lutz admitted, under oath, that the incidents involving the band music and the rolled up rug and moving living room furniture and the door being ripped from its hinges had never happened. Lutz further stated that he "may have been only dreaming" when he saw his wife levitating above their bed. And no, he had personally never seen a pig, red-eyed or otherwise in his daughter’s room. As for the "hurricane strength" rainstorm that knocked out power the day the Lutz's fled the house, weather reports that day only indicated "traces" of precipitation, with no power outages reported.
There are stories about the house being built on Indian Burial grounds, an Indian sanitarium, or even a theoretical witch living on the property from Salem Massachusetts. None of these claims have been proven. At one time, the Amityville Horror may have been a horrific experience for anyone living in or around 112 Ocean Avenue, but the evidence of any paranormal activity remains absent. It would appear that one man murdered his family and the result was Hollywood feeding the fire of a legend; an urban legend.
Today the house is occupied by new owners, and so far they have reported nothing unusual. No ooze, no pigs from Hell, and no voices telling them to kill everybody they know. I would hope that it’s common knowledge, but they’re growing quite tired of all the publicity that the silly movie has brought them.
