In the 1977, America was captured by the "true" story of a haunted house in Amityville, New York. The legend of the house, as told in the book Amityville Horror by Jay Anson, told the story of the Lutz family who unwittingly purchased the haunted house as their dream home in a peaceful Long Island town. They were blissfully unaware the house was the home of the infamous DeFeo murders. Within days, the Lutz family was terrorized by all sorts of frightening demonic and poltergeist type activity including floating red eyes outside of the windows, a pit to hell in the basement, black ooze coming out of the toilets, and a voice that told them to "GET OUT!"
While it has never been conclusively proven that the story of the Amityville Horror is untrue, subsequent owners of the home have had no experiences in the house, and the Lutz family now says that their story is "mostly true." There are a number of experts who believe the story is a hoax, while a number of others feel that the house is, indeed, haunted. Chances are, the story of the Amityville Horror has some elements of truth that have been embellished in the retelling over the years.
