The Amittyville Haunting
The Amityville Haunting is a terrifying myth, but is it real or a hoax? It was based on a well-documented story of paranormal hauntings. It became an instant cult classic and has led many people to believe the events happened. The book is rooted in a heavily sensational and terrifying real case.
However, there is a lot of skepticism surrounding the case. For instance, one of the children admits that the haunting happened but was heavily embellished by their grandfather. The grandfather hyped it to make money because the family was in debt. While we love to believe that the hauntings happened because they fuel our horror cravings, they most likely were over exaggerated stories.
