The Amityville murders and haunting refer to a series of tragic events that took place in a house located at 112 Ocean Avenue in Amityville, New York in 1974. On November 13, 1974, Ronald DeFeo Jr. murdered six members of his family in the house. He claimed that voices in the house compelled him to commit the murders.

A year later, the Lutz family moved into the house but fled just 28 days later, claiming to have experienced paranormal activity, including strange noises, unexplained odors, and sightings of apparitions. The Lutz family's account of their experiences was later detailed in the book "The Amityville Horror" by Jay Anson, which was later adapted into a popular film.

The alleged haunting of the Amityville house has been a subject of controversy and debate, with sceptics questioning the validity of the Lutz family's claims. Despite this, the Amityville haunting has become one of the most famous and enduring paranormal stories in American popular culture, sparking numerous books, films, and documentaries.

The Amityville haunting has been the subject of extensive investigation and speculation, with some individuals claiming to have experienced supernatural phenomena in the house. However, others have cast doubt on the veracity of the haunting, suggesting that it may have been a hoax or a case of mass hysteria.

The events at the Amityville house continue to captivate the public's imagination, and the story remains a prominent part of paranormal lore. Whether the haunting was real or not, the Amityville murders and subsequent claims of supernatural activity have left a lasting impact on popular culture and the field of paranormal research.
