[@nadinecolbath5584]

I just saw this. We used to go by this house to my Grandma's house!!!! My Grandma lived in Amityville. Every time we went by this house, I would tell my mom, "That house is scary!!!!". I knew it when I was 5 YEARS OLD!!!!! I would have nightmares about this house when I was little. I knew there was something going on back when I was little, but my mom didn't believe me until the book came out. I'm so glad my Grandma finally moved and went to Florida!!!!! We never went by that house again!!!!

My opinion and I have "abilities" the only thing that was ever evil in that house was Ronald Defeo Sr Ronald Defeo Jr and George Lutz. Their all gone. That house is at peace now. I still wouldn't live there or go in.. I have been outside. I'm not crazy. My husband would kill me if I bought anything home. Our home is clean of spirits. Not up for discussion what I can see.

They never admitted their own true story was made up. You are confusing something. They told the book and movies had too many things in them which didn´t happen to them. So of course the book and movies were made up, which they admitted. But not the story they told.

lianne mettam If you remember they admitted it, I´d like to see the source of your information, because I haven´t read or seen it anywhere yet. Even though I´ve done a lot of research about this case. It can easily be explained why other owners never had something happening to them. You just have to know more about hauntings in order to answer that question. It´s never guaranteed that everyone being in a haunted place will notice anything haunted. But I´ll explain more if you want to.

[@carlo_cali]

Really ? I never got my hands on it and was an avid reader. I'm a big Anne Rice fan, but I real a lot of different stuff. I think I'll pick this book up. Of all the books I read only one book came close to ever spooking me. That was The Shinning. That is the only book. I grew up not far from Amityville, but close to the south shore of Long Island. I know people used to go driving around and would look at various houses. We never really believed any of that, but I thought we had gone on a drive like that once. I also spoke to someone who was in jail with Ronnie DeFeo and they told me he's a junkie, always sniffing dope (heroin) in jail whenever he can and he's been like that for years. He's told so many stories he's basically a compulsive lier.

[@nikkibest5010]

The book has given me nightmares since I first read it when I was 20. I'm 50 now and I still sometimes have bad dreams about it. I'm only ever interested or frightened about things that are true stories, or are supposed to be. Fictional scary books dont interest me in the least. The only book I've ever read that scared me more than Amityville is a book called "The Devil in Connecticut ". It also involves Ed and Loraine Warren. The psychic investigators who were involved with Amityville. Absolutely terrifying.

Skepticism is natural. The occupants who moved in after the Lutz's left, not experiencing weird occurances, is in and of itself, not proof, that the Lutz family is lying. It isn't the house. The house is made of wood, concrete, plastic, prefab materials. Nothing more, nothing less. It's what occupied those surroundings to mess with the Lutz family. It is an intelligence that determines for itself where and WHEN it so chooses to manifest itself and in what matter. For reason that we cannot understand

Hanging on to every word. This family was horribly treated. If you think of Poltergeist rather then a haunting, people do report slim like substance. Recently, a family in Indiana, I believe were having frightening experiences. It was in the paper. Police were called, believed it. The boy was taken to the ER. The RN and social worker witnessed a terrifying event and called a Priest to come to the hospital. My point, Mrs. Lutz was right about the reason for sharing their story. Today it is very excepted and people actually look for an experience like this. They were brave.

An alarming amount of people claim this to be fake. But exactly how're you suppose to know that? Did you ever step into the house? I honestly think this paranormal activity could be real. I mean, I have no idea how to conjure spirits or make them pissed off. Its not a subject I explore. One could also say that their minds were playing tricks because they are aware that a mass murder happened 13 months before they were standing in the same rooms where the crime scenes happened. Honestly, it could be, but I'm not sure that's what happened. Another thing to look at is maybe the people who don't believe this family are the ones who watched that Amityville movie, which we all know is highly exaggerated. If you really think about it, if they really did make this story up, then why did they leave ALL of their belongings? That's sacrificing a lot just to make up a ghost story, and I don't think they, or you, would do such a thing. If there was a ghost in MY house, I'd leave my stuff, grab my pets, mother and sisters, and high tail it out of the house before you could say "Ghostbusters". It isn't phisically proven that there's some sort of dimension full of wandering spirits with unfinished business. But really stop and think about this. What if humans weren't meant to phisically see the dead? Could it cause too much confusion and paranoia for our mortal minds? It may take years for us to find out the true mysteries of ghosts. Or never. But as these people claim, that this Amityville estate is actually haunted, maybe it would be best that we believe the six's souls are still wandering the property so they'll forever be remembered for their unfair and unpredictable deaths.

[@daved1535]

The thing with polygraphs is that can easily be beaten, even if you never learned how. If you tell a story about something that happened you enough times, you'll start to believe it and the polygraph will register you're telling the truth, even if the real truth is something different. Especially when your story is out there on the world stage; you're completely committed to the story at that point.

It is easy for skeptics to say it was all made up but they cannot explain why the Lutz's would run out their house and leave everything in it, you don't do that on the hope of selling a story, which they might have got no interest in. Saying that ooze on walks, slime, banging noises, strange flatulence smells and sounds, eyes seen, hearing voices, etc - a skeptic can easily say there could be explanations for all of it mass hysteria, bad plumbing couid account for ooze on walls, the strange pungent flatulence smells and noises could have been someone in the family or a visitor doing that then others in the family walked in to the rude smells, eyes seen could have been owls or cats, etc.

[@jebbie2595]

I don't know that I've ever seen anyone as soft-spoken as Kathleen Lutz.. it's almost like she's whispering.

[@christopherdunn317]

The thing is, at least if even george was lying, he didn't go along with the movie, which proves more he is not lying.

+Jack Torrance Well lets put it this way i havent had to deal with something like this before running for your lives sort of deal. But i have seen ghost's, felt them,seen things move on there own, and its real whether anyone wants to believe it or not i don't care. I know what is real and what is fake.But the fake can happen way more than the real that's for sure.

[@NovaJake360]

[@christopherdunn317]

+Jack Torrance Oh ya for sure i wouldnt expect anything less. If you don't experience it why would anyone believe in such a thing. The thing i can't believe is some of these ghost shows and how there attacked and showing demons and stuff i find hard to believe.There are angry spirts, but there is no devil or demons. Load of crap religion made that shit up as a scare tactic.

[@vanishingstone1637]

Well, it is true that they can attack you. For example, they can scratch you. You can call those entities whatever you want. They just used the word "demons". But I have no idea where those entities come from and what their actual motives are. Yeah, spreading negative energy and drawing the positive energy from their surroundings and people. But I don´t know why.

I believe them why would a family move into a house and 28 days leave

[@TheIndependentLens]

@Therin Chilnsford Because there was ever any guarantee that was going to happen??? Please! Talk about far fetched that THAT would ever be someone's scheme to get out of paying their mortgage.

[@TheIndependentLens]

Lone Wolf I think based on what’s written in the book would be why they stayed the full 28 days. Did you actually read it? Guess not.

[@Jim_Stark]

well, they knew about the murders when they moved in. they told these scary stories to willliam weber, who just happened to be the attorney of ronnie defeo. which then means weber could plead insanity for ronnie murdering his family. demons made him do it. lots of money for everyone involved. but there were a lot of people mentioned in the book who wanted their names removed. thus the second edition is much different.

[@TheIndependentLens]

Lone Wolf well, there again would be if you read the book, which I did several times growing up. I loved how the book had maps, full layout of the house, Missy’s drawing of Jody . . . Etc. There was a lot of obsessive, insane behavior that they were exhibiting, almost as if they were experiencing dementia. George Lutz going out to the boathouse obsessively and staying cold in front of the fire and constantly keeping it roaring. It was a good read regardless of truth. The biggest asset to the whole thing is the house itself. You can’t just pick a more perfect demonic haunted house than that place.

[@Jim_Stark]

@@TheIndependentLens yeah, a good horror story. made some people a few bucks. the lutz family worked with ronnie defeo's attorney, william weber, to make a story saying the house was possessed by demons. and of course, the demons made ronnie do what he did. and later the lutz family was so scared they moved out. did you read the first or second publishing of the book? the second one was a lot different, because all the people 'involved' wanted their names removed from the book.

[@Maroon498]

I believe them. At the same time i find it very strange how every resident who ever resided at the house after the DeFeo’s and the Lutzes, all refuse to believe that the house was ever haunted. Surely somebody else would encounter some sort of paranormal activity if that was the case.

[@aprilcitygirltocountrywife2595]

I think because George and Kathy we're into transitional meditation and I've also heard one of the sons say George was also into / interested in the occult so that may have made them more vulnerable to it.

Those other residents aren't telling the truth.

[@Taylorslade123]

Has anyone else had a problem in that house? That’s one way to know if this is all bullshit. One of the problems I have is that there are some very real questions that need answering about the Defeo murders, such as how those shots could be fired by one person yet none of the victims showed any signs of reacting, they were all found face down just as they were when they were sleeping.

Mr. Hartman made the Lutzes look like liars. ~He didn't ask them about the pig in the window, or the house blessing by their parish priest or when George was possessed or when the front door blew off its hinges, or the photo taken upstairs of the little boy ghost. ~ How disappointing!

[@MMAfighter38113]

In the book, the Lutzes claim that on Jan.1st, 1976, Jody' tracks could be seen in the snow. When researched, there was no snow in Amityville on that day. Also, they also claim to have called the cops when the front door was torn off its hinges. According to police reports, the police never visited 112 ocean avenue when the Lutzes lived there.

Damn... James Brolin was a sexy man! Wow! 😍 And I'm glad the Lutz's stood firm against the skeptics. Just because you might not have seen or experienced something, doesn't mean it's not real. Unless you've walked in those folks shoes, you have no right to condemn them or claim they're liars. There's tons of evidence to the contrary. Also, movies are always elaborated or exaggerated from the original or true story. Just look at how they changed Harry Potter books to movies. They kept as much of the original yet had to change or discard parts for the movies. That's the ways Hollywood is. We ALL know that. So cut these poor people some slack. I give them kuddos for having the courage to step forward, knowing they would be attacked & questioned & almost vilified at times. It also took great courage to stay in that house as long as they did. They obviously sunk all their money into that house & I understand the notion of not leaving cuz it's your dream home & you worked long hard years to be able to afford it. You don't just up & walk away. They ultimately did & that's why I believe them. I just don't believe every minute of the movies bcs it's just that.... A movie. I'm sure the real life was more frightening for them to cope with cuz it was their day to day reality. Unnerving I'm sure.

I've just been watching the "For God's Sake Get Out!" doc on my Amityville DVD and James Brolin contradicts what he says there. He said that he thought George was a good salesman and that he felt he schooled the children to lie about it. How two faced can someone be! What do others think of Brolin's later contradiction? Oh and I'm a firm believer in what the Lutz family said. I've faced a lot of sceptics and not has said provided anything concrete about why they think it was fabricated.

[@aprilcitygirltocountrywife2595]

I thought he came off as a phone and a jerk after that. The sons didn't get along with George as teenagers and after George and Kathy divorced they still backed up the story although they said they thought it might have had something to do with George's interest and dabbling in the occult.

The first conjuring movie was based on the Perron family haunting. Conjuring 2 happen in England . Smurl case was in the 1980s. The Enity was one of the craziest cases not a hoax that happen to a single mother who her sons saw a entity attack her and even manifested itself more then one time . Looked very similar to the Smurl case entity that haunted Janet Smurl.

I thought reporters were supposed to be impartial and open-minded, but Hartman seems like he already made up his mind, not to mention he was rude. Joan Lunden should've interviewed them.

The family (Cromarties) after the Lutzs had a son die of a drug overdose while in the house. A family later living in the house had their son die in the World Trade Center on 9-11. Whether these guys were living in the house at the time of their deaths, I don't know.

Ronnie DeFeo did not make up stories about the house being possessed except for one interview he did with Hans Holzer (and that was AFTER the Lutzes went public with their story). Ronnie later recanted explaining he just told Holzer what he wanted to hear (as Ronnie had a financial interest in Holzer's book project). So Ronnie tried to capitalize on the Lutzes' story, not the other way around (and it only happened during that one interview with Holzer).

I was 5 and my siblings are witness to that and me falling down the stairs- hitting only 2 stairs out of 45 and landing on the bottom as if someone carried me. My mom told me that I used to speak to a little girl around the house that only I saw. She thought that it was my imaginary friend-but then she was doing dishes in the kitchen and saw the girl...ghost girl.
