When the Lutz family moved into the infamous house at 112 Ocean Avenue, they found themselves trapped in a nightmare of ghostly apparitions, sinister voices, and unexplainable horrors. Was their ordeal a genuine encounter with the supernatural, or a carefully crafted hoax? Or was it, possibly, a little bit of both?SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…“The True Story Behind the Amityville Horror” sources: Margo Margaritoff, All That’s Interesting:https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/3yuz4rcr); Shawn Van Horn, Collider: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/4kv6jx9u); Leah Thomas, Cosmopolitan: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/rwrj63at); Biography.com: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/5n92fbwa); Tara Bennett, SyFy: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2mfyc8x7)Weird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library. = = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.
