The Amityville Horror -Fact? Fiction? Let's see.....

THE AMITYVILLE HORROR

The book was a runaway best seller. Many people believed, many did not. The Lutzs' were ridiculed and humiliated. To try and dispel the rumors of a hoax, George invited a Dr. Kaplan to go to the house and investigate. He shows up with six witches and a television crew. George is so livid he throws them all out of the house. Then he calls the Warrens.



Ed & Lorraine Warren are both highly respected paranormal investigators based out of CT. Ed is a demonologist and Lorraine is a clairvoyant. They have been "chasing ghosts" for years. Below is a summary based on the Warren's investigation into the Amityville house. They know it's not a hoax. They have proof that they only show when you attend their seminars. It is shocking and it will turn the disbeliever into a beliver. Here is the summary:



~The Lutzs recieved little or no money from the book or the movie that followed. So the theory that they "did it for money" fell flat.



~The Warren's feel that because Dr. Kaplan was humilated by being thrown out of the house , then "passed over" for the Warrens, he has made it his life ambition to "prove" the story is a hoax. But everytime Ed Warren tries to get him to produce his "proof" he comes up with a reason not to. Ed once offered him $5000 but still Kaplan turns him down.



~Jay Anson, the author of "The Amityville Horror" suffered a heart attack while writing it. Although he recovered, he had another one while writing a new book about the Anti-Christ. The Warrens believe it's another bizarre "conicidence" in this fascinating story.



~The police chief's son, a reporter, was told to write a fake story in Newsday that the Amityville story was a hoax. This was because after the book came out the traffice in the village became too much. People were coming from all over to see the house for themselves, and the neighbors were complaining.



~When the Warrens went to the house to investigate was when they knew it was not a hoax. Here are some of the things that occurred:



*On the 2nd floor, Lorraine felt a huge force of rushing water and the air around her became almost unbearable.



*In the sewing room the feeling was so evil that it scared the heck out of an NYC-TV anchorman who had come with the Warrens.



in Amy's bedroom, Lorraine immediately knew that the bed Amy had slept in was the same one the DeFeo girl was murdered in. (I will never understand why they let their children sleep in the death beds.)



*In the master bedroom, Lorraine could feel the horror all around her, as if it was closing in. It did not get better as they moved from room to room.



*On the 3rd floor, Lorraine had the most powerful and haunting experience. Here she clairvoyantly encounted Ronald DeFeo Jr. She says the encounter was so evil, so sinister, that she felt she could not "eject" it from the house. *The house had a powerful effect on the men present. Two of them had heart palpitations and had to lie down. Ed was attacked in the basement by unseen hands and he says it "felt like I was being picked up." He used religious artifacts to break free and order the spirits out of the house. The NYC-TV anchorman actually passed out from fear.



As I said before, the Warrens know this was not a hoax. They went into the house and experienced the horror for themselves. They have shocking evidence to prove that this case is true. To this day, The Amityville Horror is their most famous case.



The lutzs now live in California and are divorced. They still have trouble putting Amityville in the past. The house has been re-sold and as of this date, nothing "strange" has happened to the new owners. The street number has been changed from 112 to protect their privacy. The family priest has died as well as Dr. Kaplan
