Everything in this book is supposed to be what actually happened. Most parts were verified by several people. That makes it creepy AF. I don't know what I believe, but if I was ever in a position to witness any of this, you would only see my dust trail! I was continually shocked that they kept s...

Please note that I gave this book 3.5 stars, but rounded it up to 4 stars on Goodreads.

The new family is informed of the history of the home, but not being particularly superstitious, doesn't really mind. It...

When I was a kid, this story scared the poop out of me. Now that I'm a wise old codger (ha), it seems very silly and illogical, without much of an ending. The writers throw everything but the kitchen sink at the poor Lutz family - it winds up being a mish-mash of several popular stories, including T...

This is one of those rare moments when the movie is better than the book.

I'm sure that most people know the story of Amityville. The Lutz family bought a home that a family was murdered in only a year before. But that didn't bother them. It was their dream home so they bought it and moved in. Things began to happen and it only increased. After 28 days of living there, th...
