“The Amityville Horror” scared the living bejesus out of us in 1979, but what was it like living in the home that inspired the movie? A new documentary called “My Amityville Horror” tells the story of former resident Danny Lutz, who moved into the house at 112 Ocean Avenue in Amityville, New York, in 1975.

In this Yahoo! article, he describes — with no trace of uncertainty — being spiritually and emotionally abused by phantoms during his four-week residence at the house. He also describes witnessing his stepfather, George, apparently the No. 1 target of the “presence,” moving objects with his mind (practicing telekinesis) in the garage.
