About this listen

In December 1975, the Lutz family moved into their new home on suburban Long Island. George and Kathleen Lutz knew that, one year earlier, Ronald DeFeo had murdered his parents, brothers, and sisters in the house, but the property - complete with boathouse and swimming pool - and the price were too good to pass up.

Twenty-eight days later, the entire Lutz family fled in terror.

This is the spellbinding, best-selling, true story that gripped the nation - the story of a house possessed by evil spirits, haunted by psychic phenomena almost too terrible to describe.

Jay Anson began as a copy boy on the New York Evening Journal in 1937 and later worked in advertising and publicity. With more than 500 documentary scripts for television to his credit, he was associated with Professional Films, Inc. He died in 1980.

True Horror! Wonder how George & family could stay on for so long! The reading too was fantastic.

The story is amazing and I loved how he wanted to fight back no matter what... we all are scared but the will to fight is related... knowing and protecting the people your love even at the cost of your own sanity will be hurtful buy also a life turning lesson to anyone who has suffered it. Ed and Lorrain are one of my favorite paranormal investigators or demonologist ever. I always followed their cases and cannot imagine anyone to have such impact on people even after so long those cases have happened.

I am not superstitious but I do believe in energy and this books is so well written it will make you think. and these thoughts will be the first step towards a better experience with these books.

Love it!

Good start to a Horror genre. Could have delved into the details of the eerie past and that could have been more interesting.

Quite gripping.

The story is spooky and terrifying. It has all usual trops but it goes beyond usual horror stories. The best part of the story is the setup. The story also try to explore spirits who never walked on earth.
P.S.- The book is capable to give you sleepless nights.

A really horror story

There are some concerns over whether this story is true but irrespectively it makes for a good read. It's a bit troubling but this has made me interested in reading horror genre.

Horrifying if true!
