    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!!!!

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.

      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.

      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.

      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.

    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.

    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

When they had a psychic come she said George didn't even wanna step on the property. I know the movie was greatly exaggerated George Lutz even tried to sue the company (paramount I think). That's to be expected in Hollywood though. Idk that I believe EVERYTHING but I do believe they were haunted. As for the other families it could be George & Kathy were either more open or did dabble in things they shouldn't have. Only they know the truth!

    I was never sure whether or not to believe the Lutz family. However... it is not every day that a family leaves out the front door with only the shirts on their backs and NEVER comes back. That, in itself, says plenty.
    I do believe that they experienced unusual occurrences. But the book really was a money-maker. Don't get me wrong, it was a great book. But probably an embellishment of facts that were told by the Lutz family.
    Either way, RIP to both George and Kathy, who have died over a decade ago.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Does the image of the haunted house coupled with the Today show music at the very beginning strike anyone else as absolutely hilarious?

    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.

    I meant "I should have looked more into it before I left my comment"
    Not long after that comment, I found a list of every owner of the house & what most of them paid for it... It didn't list all of the purchase prices though.

    I find it interesting that the set they use for GMA here is not sterile looking and the sound is so good. I liked the show as a kid then, but you cannot pay me to watch the show now!!! It's horrible! The fakeness of the humans and the set is so gross.
