America’s Favorite Haunted House Hoax? Looking at the Amityville Horror

A year after the shocking and baffling Amityville Murders of 1974, a new family moves into 112 Ocean Avenue. George and Kathy Lutz are newly married and ready to begin their new life together in a new home. After 28 days, the family is driven out by unbearable paranormal activity. They leave everything behind and never return... or so the legend goes. But was this a true story of a haunted house, or the hoax of a lifetime? And Why did the tale grip America so easily?
