The Amityville Horror
In December 1975 George and Kathy Lutz moved into a Dutch Colonial house at 112 Ocean Avenue on Long Island. A year earlier, six members of the DeFeo family had been murdered there. The Lutzes fled after 28 days, claiming the house terrorised them. The story became a bestselling book and a film, and an argument that has never settled.

:QUOTE [quotetype:plain, subtitle:George Lutz]
We left the house with only the clothes we were wearing. We never spent another night there.


:INFO
The 28 days
The Lutz family lived at 112 Ocean Avenue for just 28 days before leaving everything behind. The book and films built on their account turned a quiet street into a tourist site. The house still stands today, and its address has been changed to deter visitors.


:NOTE.half
A lawyer connected to the DeFeo case later said the haunting story was invented over several bottles of wine. Many investigators call it a hoax.


:NOTE.half
The Lutzes maintained for years that something real drove them out. Later residents of the house have reported no unusual activity at all.
