"The Amityville Horror: The True Story" recounts the experiences of the Lutz family, who moved into a house in Amityville, New York in December 1975. The family claimed to have encountered a series of paranormal events, including strange noises, cold spots, and unexplained phenomena, which they attributed to the house's dark history. The house was previously the site of a tragic crime in 1974, when Ronald DeFeo Jr. murdered six members of his family. The Lutz family's experiences inspired the 1977 book by Jay Anson and subsequent films, sparking widespread interest in the supernatural and the concept of haunted houses.
