J. Otis HaasPublished 8 months ago in FictionThe Haunting of 112 Ocean Avenue: Amityville's Chilling Mysteries
In 1977, the world was introduced to the most infamous haunted house in history, famously located at 112 Ocean Avenue in the once-quiet suburb of Amityville, New York. The Amityville Horror, a book by Jay Anson, recounts the spine-chilling experiences of the Lutz family, who moved into this house a week before Christmas in 1975. Their unsettling encounters began subtly with inexplicable cold spots and mysterious odors. Yet, as time passed, the paranormal phenomena escalated, including levitations, demonic apparitions, and eerie footprints in the snow. They even called in a priest for an exorcism, which took a sinister turn. Within just 28 days of moving in, the Lutz family fled the house in terror, leaving behind their belongings. While the story claims to be true, skepticism abounds. However, the most chilling aspect of the tale is an undisputed fact: six people were brutally murdered in that very house a year prior to the Lutz family's arrival, a crime that remains shrouded in mystery.
