In Episode 3 of "True Paranormal Stories," we explore the infamous Amityville Horror. The tale begins with the 1974 DeFeo family tragedy where Ronald DeFeo Jr. murdered six family members, claiming voices in the house urged him to do so. A year later, the Lutz family moved into the same house and fled after 28 days, reporting various paranormal phenomena, including cold spots, foul odors, green slime, swarming flies, physical attacks, levitation, and strange noises.
The Lutzes enlisted the help of paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, who confirmed the house's malevolent presence. The story gained widespread attention through Jay Anson's book and a subsequent film adaptation, though many skeptics question its authenticity. Despite controversy, the Amityville Horror remains a cultural touchstone, inspiring ongoing debate and fascination. Psychological theories, such as stress, sleep paralysis, and group psychosis, offer alternative explanations for the Lutzes' experiences.
