Amityville Horror

The Amityville Horror refers to a series of claims about paranormal activity experienced by the Lutz family after they moved into a house in Amityville, New York, in 1975. They reported violent behavior, strange noises, and eerie sensations, which they attributed to supernatural forces. The story became widely publicized, inspiring books and films. However, there is considerable skepticism, with critics questioning the accuracy of their accounts and suggesting possible exaggeration or fraud. The case remains a notable example in popular culture of alleged haunted houses, blending elements of folklore, media sensationalism, and unresolved mysteries.
