Home > The Amityville Horror


 

The Amityville Horror was a bestselling book by Jay Anson, and later a film, about a family who moves into a house in Amityville, New York where a murder was committed, and finds that the house exerts a paranormal influence on them. Though both the book and the movie claimed to be the true story of the Lutz family's experiences in an Amityville house, many of the claims they made were discovered to be false or distorted.

The film is based on the story by George Lutz about a house being haunted on Long Island's south shore. The story later became a book, then a movie. The sister village and sports team rival of Amityville is nearby Sayville, which is also a place where there are many claims of paranormal activity.
