Halloween Information Sources Takes New York!
|
|
by Anthony Aycock
|
|
Fifty years ago, a young couple named George and Kathy Lutz moved into their new house at 112 Ocean Avenue in Amityville, New York, a village in Suffolk County, on the South Shore of Long Island. With them were Kathy's three kids, Daniel, Christopher, and Melissa, along with the family dog, Harry. Two years later, Jay Anson published The Amityville Horror, a "nonfiction" account of the 28 days that the Lutzes stayed in the house. Of the house's supernatural activity, no evidence beyond the Lutzes' testimony has ever turned up. But that didn't stop the story from popularizing the "true hauntings" genre in American literature/film/television. In this fifth collection of Halloween information sources, I will discuss the best true hauntings sites on the internet.
