Case 1 | The Amityville Horror

The very first episode of True Hauntings takes on one of the most famous — and controversial — paranormal cases of all time.

In the early hours of November 1974, an entire family was brutally murdered inside a quiet suburban home in Amityville, New York. Just over a year later, a new family moved in, hoping to begin their dream life in what they believed was simply a house with a tragic past.

What followed became a global sensation.

Claims of violent poltergeist activity.

Unexplained sounds, smells, and visions.

Allegations of demonic possession and supernatural terror.

But was this truly one of the most powerful hauntings ever recorded — or did the story grow far beyond the truth?

In this episode, Anne and Renata put The Amityville Horror under the microscope. They separate fact from folklore, examine who stood to profit, and ask the uncomfortable questions many retellings avoid.

When a story becomes a brand…

When fear becomes a commodity…

Do we lose sight of the real victims at the heart of the tragedy?

This is True Hauntings — where belief meets evidence, and nothing is taken at face value.
