The Amityville Haunting

On the 30th of June, 1986 the Snedeker family moved into their new home in Southington, Connecticut. Soon after they moved in, strange and frightening things started happening. Even though a 2009 movie based on the events that took place was produced, most of the occurrences in the movie were purely fictional and changed by hollywood. Because of this, many people wonder what really happened on 208 Meriden Avenue, how much of it was real? Throughout the following paragraphs we will discuss and analyze what really happened during the haunting in connecticut.

The events in the home are a justifiable mystery and professional ghost hunters along with psychic investigators claim that the events that took place in the Exorcist and the Amityville Horror cannot even begin to hold a candle to the random paranormal occurrences that possess the Sallie House on a daily basis.

Located on the grounds of Roanoke College’s campus is the reportedly haunted house known as Monterey. This house was built in 1853 by the Huff family, over time passed through many different owners, and in 2002 was officially bought by Roanoke College. Throughout the history of the house several of the occupants are known to have died within the premises of the property, thus contributing to it’s reputation of being haunted. In our investigation of the Monterey house we spent two nights in the house gathering various types of data to aid us in our attempt to discover what theory of haunting is consistent with the experiences within the house.

I read the true story, The Amityville Horror. The book is a retelling of the 28 terrifying days a family spent at 112 Ocean Avenue in Amityville, Long Island. George and Kathy Lutz, along with their three children, move into a house that seems to be almost too good to be true. As they stay in the house longer and longer, more and more frightening phenomena occur. In this journal I will be evaluating and predicting.

The White House is the home and workplace of the President of the United States since 1800, which was first inhabited by John Adams. This house was home for forty-three of the forty-four Presidents of the United States, two of which have actually died in the Executive Mansion, but also the presidents did have family members who died within the walls of the White House. With all of the this house’s rich history, it may not be a surprise that it is rumored to be haunted, and is considered one of the most haunted houses in the United States. There are reports of sightings of past Presidents and spouses by different Presidents, their families, and foreign dignitaries.

As one older gentleman tells the history of the building and what the military did, he shared his stories with such passion and conviction. He knew that building like the back of his hand. He knew every fact about it. Yet, his lady friend (Bethany) had focused much more on the spookiness of the building. It wasn't the walking around the building, it wasn't even the broken glass or vandalized walls that makes you think twice about entering. It’s the pure feeling of eeriness, you can just feel that you are not alone. You walk in and your skin simply crawls. Bethany sat and shared stories of loud thumps she hears time to time in the night to the phantom noises throughout the town that you simply can’t ignore. She says: “one of the ghosts who occupies the Buckner Building is apparently fond of whistling, and another has a particularly heavy step”. Her gentleman friend just giggled and went back to reading the newspaper. Bethany stated "there are memories she won't even share simply because they're too scary”. As Bethany poured me another cup of coffee she whispered “mostly, though, all the ghosts are

Of course, the theory remains from a spiritual perspective, that spirits are responsible for the preternatural occurrences. Nonetheless, the existence of poltergeists has been proven from both perspectives. It can be claimed that the Amityville haunting was nothing but a hoax. However, this would mean that The Warrens had to be in on the lie as well. Based on their past, and their reputable name, this is unlikely. Based on the evidence we know from the hauntings in the house of Amityville, it seems as though this case of poltergeist derives from the spiritual world, and not by human contribution. Felton argues that poltergeist manifestations have a focus “on a particular person, rather than a particular place.” Edward and Lorraine Warren’s

In the books The Demon-Haunted World and Silent Spring, the authors write about large issues facing the public in the time period. Rachel Carson faces the issue of pest control in the middle of the twentieth century. Insecticides are used in excess, permeate the environment, and it is commonly accepted that they have no ill consequences. Carson compiled the research of many scientists and showed, despite fierce opposition, that insecticides pose a high risk of destroying the environment and are harmful to humans. Carl Sagan writes about his concerns about the path society is taking away from scientific thinking into superstition and pseudoscience. He debunks popular thoughts about UFO’s, hallucinations, dogmatic con-men, and anti-science

Throughout my childhood, hearing about the story of the Amityville Horror House in Amityville, New York always left me frightened for days after I heard it. When I was about five years old, my older sister allowed me watch the movie with her and it pretty much scarred me for life. The aspect that really scared me and that I could relate to the most is that I did not know and had no way of knowing what events had taken place in my house before my family moved in. I had constant thoughts about whether or not someone died in my house, what room they could have potentially died in, and whether or not it was it from natural causes or if they were brutally murdered. God forbid I start thinking about this horrifying story while I was lying in my bed

Back in the 1900s there was a rumor going around the small town of Jefferson that there was a haunted house back in the woods that nobody has ever been to in about 75 years. On May 24, 1922, 3 kids named Ashley, Billy, and Cody put it to the test to see if they could find this house that everyone had been talking about. When they found the house after 4 hours of searching for it, all 3 kids walked up to the house. From the outside the house was very scary, big bushed not trimmed down, veins running down every window that they could see, and a big door that had not been painted or touched in a really long time. As Cody knocked on the door they got a little frightened at the sight of the door opening by itself when Cody knocked. “The house already

Spooky or creepy stories have been told for ages. Lots of people like hearing scary tales but I think what makes a story really scary is one which is real. A horror story which really happened can be scarier than a made up story. There is a house in Los Angeles, California which sits on top of a Los Feliz hilltop. It has become known as the Los Feliz Murder Mansion. It was a fateful night when on December 6, 1959 Dr. Harold Perelson took a hammer and struck his wife dead, he then severely beat his 18 year old daughter and finally ended his own life by having a acid cocktail. The mansion remained alone and uninhabited, holding its dark secrets for the next fifty years.

In 1986 a new couple moved into the house that is over 100 years old, they live in a small town called Blackridge. They have heard nothing haunted of this house, but all the neighbors warned people trying to buy the house because of the unforgetting room. The new residents were named John and Hillary. They seem younger than a toddler. They're both 18 and have no idea why the the unforgetting room was locked. John and Hillary stop by a neighbor's house to ask if they knew anything about the room that was locked.The neighbors told them about the myth that a couple was buried in that very room 90 years ago, they said that many people think that they protect the room and watch tv on the very old televison. The neighbors also said that kids roaming

After a fierce battle with the ghost, it disappeared just as it had come and it was over, they Finally sat he house it seemed like any other house would with a fine bed with soft sheets, wallpaper that was in perfect condition, and a small table that could hold about 3 people. None of them seemed to realize however that there was some hot tea, bread, and sausage that were still warm. There first sign that something or someone else was in the house was when all of a sudden a small shoe box ran out the door, it just slid out the door closing and locking it behind him. Putting it aside they continued cleaning it up when a girl zombie appeared in the painting, this is when they started to freak out and ran and hid anywhere they could find in the small room. After it was gone they threw off there close with the thought it was the close that haunted them; however. The once they tried to sit down there chairs vanished into thin air, and as if that was scary enough their clothes stood up. They were a very smart group and new that inanimate objects like clothes should not

For the past three hundred years I have been sitting in the same spot all day long. I was buit in the worst neighborhood. It isn’t as bad as bad as around Halloween night. Every single person who comes in my neighborhood on Halloween night, is dared to come inside. All the children have made stories saying I am haunted but believe me I am not. It wasn’t always like this. I used to be the best house in the neighborhood. I was filled with antiques. Furniture imported from Paris. I had parties lined up. Then the years past a storm hit and I was only a house no longer a home. Little did I know that it was all about to change. One day around October 30, the day before Halloween, a very nice young lady ,named Samantha , was dared to come inside.

Said to be a true incident, an old couple were murdered at this house and ever since then the house has been abandoned and there have been various kind of noises heard by the residents coming from the house. Rumours suggest that people have seen the spirits of the two couples haunting the house, one of my own friends told me that the couple were murdered by their own Yoga Guru whom they trusted blindly and had full faith on. It is said that the Yoga Guru had eyes on their property and thus murdered them though no one knows where the Yoga Guru vanished after murdering them or why he never inherited the property. Having their trust broken they still haunt the house scaring away the passerby, plotting their revenge against every person passing their property. Talk to the residents and you will get to know that the house has a reputation for being called as the “Haunted
