We all have seen the movies and we have all heard the story. In December 1975, George and
Kathleen Lutz and their three children moved into 112 Ocean Avenue home in
Amityville NY. Amityville is a
suburban area located on
Long Island. However, to this day there is much controversy and doubt as to the validity of the story.
The release of the book (The Amityville Horror, A True Story) written by
Jay Anson, came out and later resulted in the movie "The Amityville Horror" detailing the paranormal experiences of the Lutz family. The Lutz's endured much criticism over their story of their personal experiences in the home. Some facts that can not be disputed are that the home did in fact belong to the Defeo's previously and in fact the eldest son did in fact murder his family members. New evidence suggests that the Defeo eldest son did not however, kill all the family members alone, as was once believed. There is some question now, as to the oldest Defeo daughter and her participation in the
murders as well. It also bears repeating that George and Kathleen Lutz did take and pass a
polygraph test about their experiences while in the 112 Ocean Avenue Home.
While we may never know all of the true details, one thing we can be sure of, murders of a most gruesome kind did take place in the home. That being said, many believe that sort of negative energy lasts forever, and as such it is more likely than not, something extraordinary and paranormal probably did occur in this home.
