The True Story of the Amityville Horror
Since 1977, a lake house in Amityville, New York, has been the subject of multiple books, television programs, and almost 15 movies.

One of the most interesting facts about the Amityville case is that the hauntings have been debunked numerous times. The defense lawyer who initially represented mass murderer Ronald Defeo, Jr. has stated in multiple court documents that the entire haunting was a hoax. Still, the mythology of the Amityville home lives on.
