Amityville Horror


If your a ghost horror film watcher like myself you know this one is a classic. The movie was actually based off a book written by Jay Anson based off a true story involving an actually house.

You see Amityville is located in Babylon 
in Suffolk County, New York, in the United States

It was built in 1924, however the story begin with the DeFeos family who was a family of seven who were murdered by their eldest son Ronnie. His mother, father, two sisters, and two brothers were all found dead in their beds. 

Apparently as the story goes the family was found all in their beds with gun shot wounds in all 6 victims. The strange part about this is how would the family not have heard the gun shots as he went from room to room and even up the the third floor? Surely one would have woken to find out what was going on. 

Later this was proven that the children were in fact awake along with the mother when bring shot. It's possible he had told them to lay
in their beds face down so he wouldn't have to see their faces as he pulled the trigger. 

But after a trial of him claiming insanity he was found guilt despite some of his wild stories, some of which included a man in a dark hooded outfit handing him the gun telling him to kill his family. 

Several years later a family by the last name Lutzes moved into the Amityville home with their three children. 
After moved in they had the house blessed, not because of a worry of a haunting but since a friend suggested they should and owed them a favor. A priest named Ray blessed the house and said when blessing one room he felt it was cold even for winter and head a deep voice behind him say "Get out!" and apparently felt someone slap him across the face even thought no one was in the room. 
Strange events began to happen after that. Moving objects, voices, doors slamming, footsteps and even possessions.
The family moved out of the house after a terrifying night of the kids beds moving, something getting into the bed with the parents, something invisible, doors slamming open and shut at once. 
The father when leaving that night claims to have seen a hooded figure in the house. 
Either way enough was enough for the family.

Is the haunting of Amityville real? 
Who's to say? 

This photo was taking when doing an investigation on the house. They say it was near Missy's room. (one of the daughters who was killed by her brother) 


Many say that the Amitville Horror was just a hoax and is just a beautiful old house with a tragic story.

To date no other families have experienced any sort of hauntings...
