So we have all probably heard about the classic amytiville horror story, with some of it being made up for publicity purposes and some of it being supposedly 'real', so what is everyones thoughts on this ? http://www.ghoststudy.com/monthly/oct04/amityville.htm
Much appreciated |

Hi Rose, good question.
IMO it was all made up - originally to help Ronnie DeFeos appeal and then as a money making venture. As soon as Circus Warren got involved all credibility the case had went out of the fly infested window. |

I think it is generally accepted now that this was a hoxed case, unfortunately. |

I read that the first family to move into the house after the murders eventually came out and said they had made all the haunted stuff up.....still a bit of a freaky picture though |

If you had seen the movie, you can really say that it's really creepy. Whether it's fact or fiction, we may not sure because some say its true, while other says it's not true, but for me, I believe that it's true because I read some research about it. Really creepy. Thanks for sharing the link mate. |

I think we can be quite sure (but not 100% certain) that the Amityville haunting was a collaborative work of fiction between the Lutzes and Butch Defeos Lawyer William Weber.
