AMITYVILLE (HOAX?)

 

We all know the story of the AMITYVILLE HORROR HAUNTING... and such. If its from the numerous articles, 5 movies or the news of the newest film coming out. This is ingraned into our minds as a true inncident and all that jazz. But lets see. Coming out of his little box is one of the boys who survived the true Amityville inncident and he says... It wasn't all that bad. 

 

"As a child living at the house "The Amityville Horror" made infamous, he saw a menacing, shadowy figure approach him, and he remembers the night his bedroom window kept banging open and shut.

But forget the green slime dripping from the walls -- many of the events in "The Amityville Horror" books and movies were exaggerated to the point of fiction, said Christopher Quaratino, the only one of the three children who lived in the allegedly haunted house to speak publicly about it. "So far there's been three representations of what happened in that house," Quaratino said Tuesday in an interview with Newsday. "And not one of them" -- not the book, not the movie, nor a remake released last month -- "is accurate."

Quaratino was 7 years old when his mother, Kathy Lutz, and her new husband moved the family into the house where Ronald DeFeo had killed six family members with a rifle the previous fall. The family moved out after 28 days.

Now 37 and living in Scottsdale, Ariz., Quaratino maintains the haunting was not a hoax. But he insists his stepfather at the time, George Lutz, brought the troubles on himself by dabbling in the occult and then amplified what paranormal incidents did occur to profit off books and movies about the house."
