Amityville Horror: Investigation Findings

Thousands of articles have been written to try and explain the unfortunate events which occurred at the 112 Ocean Avenue, Amityville oceanside home. It is arguably one of the most famous Haunted House controversies in the world. But, unfortunately controversy has rendered invalidity. Some say there were never any supernatural forces present in the house, others adamantly profess that there was an evil lurking among those grounds that was darker than this world could fathom. Yet, who's to say what strange events actually took place before and after the DeFeo Family Murders.

According to world renowned paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, who were brought in for the Amityville Case, they believe the house was a catalyst, a gateway to the depths of hell. "Whatever is here is, in my estimation, most definitely of a negative nature. It has nothing to do with anyone who had once walked the Earth in human form. It is right from the bowels of the Earth.", insists Lorraine Warren. "Whatever is here, is able to move around at will. It doesn't have to stay here, but I think it's a resting place." Demonologist Ed Warren, said he felt an evil inhuman presence all over. But, the Warrens were only one of the many that had their own personal supernatural experiences within the surroundings of the Amityville home.

A friend of the Warrens, Psychic "time-walker," Mary Pascarella, who is defined to be a person who is able to sense, and sometimes visualize, past events in a particular location, said "I began to say my prayers and I was saying the 'Our Father'", recalls Mary Pascarella in a 2002 interview. "I looked out of the door...and as I was saying the 'Our Father'...there was a group of figures saying the 'Our Father' backward."

Mary was not the only one who experienced strange events that night. Channel 5 cameraman, Steve Petropolis, reportedly suffered a rash of heart palpitations and shortness of breath while climbing the staircase. The Warrens say they also felt a "cold spot" on the staircase.

During the first seance, Mary Pascarella also became ill and was ushered out of the room. "There seems to be some kind of black shadow that forms a head, and it moves", Mary claimed. "And as it moves, I feel personally threatened." Another psychic, Alberta Riley, made similar claims during the seance: "It's upstairs in the bedroom. What's here makes your heart speed up. My heart's pounding." Could this have been an evil demonic spirit they sensed on multiple occasions, or could this have been, partly the frightened and tormented young soul of 9-year-old John-Matthew DeFeo, pleading for contact from anyone?

The posted picture above is a timed still photo taken in the upstairs area of the house, where a boy resembling John-Matthew stands in the doorway to the room where he once slept before he was brutally murdered. There were no children present in the house during the time of the Amityville Investigation.

An abundant amount of evidence has been gathered to allegedly prove that there was a supernatural force plaguing the Amityville home. Yet still we can't prove if this notorious case was of true paranormal events, or just an easy money making scheme.

With all the strange yet fascinating evidence found, it almost seems impossible to believe it null.
