The house with the demonic eyes
The House in 108 Ocean Avenue, Amityville, New York is definitely the world’s most famous haunted house ever. It’s a 3,600 square foot big Dutch Colonial Home with a dark and scary past.
Let’s start at the beginning of its reputations as a haunted house.
Back in 1974, Ronald DeFeo Jr. killed six of his family members – his parents, two younger sisters and two younger brothers that he shot while they’re asleep. After that massacre, George and Kathy Lutz moved into the house with their children in 1976 and reported evil demon activity. The family fled the home and that story spawned the novel The Amityville Horror: A True Story, but more on it later.
The house is now listed at $850,000 with five bedrooms, including a large boat house on the Amityville River.
The latest owners did a few changes at the outside of the house. They for example changed the demonic eyes looking windows at the front of the house.
The book about the Amityville House
After George and Kathy Lutz published their story about the evil demon activities, American writer Jay Anson’s took this story in 1977 for his book: The Amityville Horror. A film adaption followed later in 1979 from director Stuart Rosenberg (Murder Inc., The April Fools), starring James Brolin (Catch Me If You Can, Beyond Belief) and Margot Kidder (Superman, Halloween II). A few other sequels also followed then but none of them were pretty successful.
Ghost spotted inside the house
Okay, believe it or not, but there are a few pictures going through the world wide web showing a little boy and a little girl walking around inside the house. Most people say they’re fake, but it’s up to you to decide if it’s true or not.
Everybody who wants to know more about the Amityville Horror House should leave a comment, if I should do a book review about The Amityville Horror: A True Story.
I love this. I always had a passion for the Warren-cases. This one has to be my favorite. I just wonder how much of this would be true , I believe in ghosts/ demonic possessions, but I can’t seem to believe that they can photograph a ghost. It would be too obvious right… if there’s one thing that I learned, it is that they only want to be seen in a weak moment of the person they’re haunting. Because only that person can see/hear the entity, they will go mad, insane because no one believes them and then they’ll take advantage of that person. So I don’t think they will show them self on a picture. I am not a professional tho, this is just what I believe. I would like a review about the book! I would love to know your thoughts about it.

Hi Evy, thank you so much for your comment and thoughts. I agree with you! I believe the same and I bet they only can be seen, when they really want to be seen. Okay, I’ll do a review about the book and let you’ll know how it is and what I’m thinking of it. 🙂 Can’t wait to start the review, I love haunted houses. 😉

Ah great! can’t wait to find out what you think about it. Maybe afterwards you could do a book vs movie(new/old) review? In my opinion it’s one of the most real-goosebump-holy damn I am sleeping with the lights on tonight- books I have read. The movies aren’t bad either but there is something about that book that gives me a weird feeling. + Maybe you’ve read about his one already but if you like haunted houses so much, The Smurl Haunting might be something for you. 🙂
