After 28 days, the Lutzes left the house, claiming to have been terrorized by paranormal phenomena while living there.

112 Ocean Avenue remained empty for thirteen months after the DeFeo murders. In December 1975, George and Kathleen Lutz bought the house for what was considered to be a bargain price of $80,000. After deciding that something was wrong with their house that they could not explain rationally, George and Kathy Lutz carried out a blessing of their own on January 8, 1976. Paranormal activity persisted. After getting in touch with Father Mancuso, the Lutzes decided to take some belongings and stay at Kathy’s mother’s house in nearby Deer Park, New York until they had sorted out the problems with the house. They claimed that the phenomena followed them there. On January 14, 1976 George and Kathy Lutz, with their three children and their dog Harry, left 112 Ocean Avenue leaving most of their possessions behind. ”
“This is scary. There are not enough words to describe this chilling true tale. If you intend on reading this, do it during day light hours, otherwise I suggest investing in a night light. This tale recounts the experiences of George and Kathy Lutz, as well as their three children, and the priest who assisted them throughout their 28 day stay at 112 Ocean Avenue Amityville. I'm not a faithful person, but I believe in energies (others call it spirits) and have experienced the affects of these energies first hand, so this had me peeing my pants.

This is a truly terrifying acocunt of the supernatural, if you are easily freaked out, I suggest you don't read this novel, if you don't mind the odd ghost story, this is a ghost story to top them all. Enjoy.”
“Good”

“I read this when I was a kid and am dying to read it again. I remember nothing of it except the hybrid dogpack. Oh God I stayed up the whole night finishing this one. Not only a great book like I've never read (non-fiction), but useful information at the end! ”

“An interesting read. I'm not sure how much I buy this as a nonfiction book. Maybe it's too disturbing to imagine. But I like to stretch my conceptualization of Reality.”

“It wasn't so much scary to me so much as it made me think of the possibilities. It was more creepy than scary.”
