The Amityville Ghost

In the early morning hours of November 13 1974, Ronald DeFeao Jr. , fatally shot  his father, two brothers and sister. The bodies were found face down on the respective beds with no signs of bullet wounds on the corpses or any struggle. And even though the neighbors lived close-by, none of them heard sounds, screams or noises. Mr. DeFeao claimed that ghosts were present during the events and had guided him into eliminating his siblings though his original intent was just to execute his father. 

 

The home at 112 Ocean Avenue eventually went up for sale and was later purchased by George and Kathy Lutz. Though they were told by the realtor about the tragedy, the Lutz’s were so enamored with the home, pool, garage and 4,000 square feet of waterfront that they immediately made an offer. The next 28 days followed a set of horrific paranormal activities that would shock the Lutz family. From the possessed suicidaldog to the image half headed demon on the wall, green slime running off of keyholes and spirits staring blankly through the bedroom windows, the Lutz family constantly encountered a ghostly presence in the doomed house.

 

Finally, when they could take it no more, they were forced to evacuate the house in a hurry. They called in investigators to study the place, all of whom claimed to have felt a strange presence in the house. One of the investigators happened to click a photo of the boy ghost peeking out of a room. Whether or not facts of this case were stretched or a complete hoax all together, it still remains one of the most frightening and sensationalized ghost stories of our time.
