The Amityville Horror Truth: A Study of Claims and Evidence By Eva Murphy

A house. A crime. A legend that refused to die.

For nearly fifty years, the Amityville case has stood at the crossroads of true crime, folklore, and fear. Behind the myths and the films lies a verifiable record - the DeFeo murders, the Lutz family's twenty-eight days, the investigations, lawsuits, and shifting accounts that built a modern American legend.

Drawing exclusively from court transcripts, police reports, property records, and verified media archives, this book reconstructs the full timeline of events from 1927 to the present. Each chapter separates claims from evidence, showing what can be proven - and what was imagined.

Discover how one family tragedy became an international phenomenon, why the story still divides believers and skeptics, and what the documented record truly reveals.

Includes: • Verified legal and forensic history • Documented witness statements and media analysis • A complete appendix of sources and timelines • Neutral, factual exploration without speculation

A definitive study for readers of true crime, occult history, and modern folklore - the Amityville case as it actually happened.
