鬼杀人，别墅里的邪恶力量-英语鬼故事

学英语的同学也有不爱看名著的重口味，就爱看惊悚悬疑侦探类的，或许书迷看过这本叫the amityville horror，影迷看过这部电影，但是看书的人可能是好奇真实的鬼故事是怎么回事，看电影的就会以为是虚构的了。

真实故事背景：

1974 年11月13日，萨福克郡警局的警员们接到报警电话后赶到了长岛海洋大道112号，在这栋荷兰式的湖边别墅中，一个足以让所有人震惊不已的罪案现场呈现在警员面前：房主笛福一家六口横尸床上，均为中弹而亡。几天后，笛福一家的唯一幸存者——小罗纳德·笛福坦然向警方自首，供认是自己在双亲和四个兄弟姊妹熟睡时用步枪射杀了他们，并坚持是别墅里的一种“神秘声音”唆使他犯下这一惨绝人寰的罪行。但即使小罗纳德·笛福在审判中一再发誓，陪审团也没有接受他这个听上去就已足够荒唐的理由，检察官认定他作案只是为了骗取高额的保险金，最终法官以六项一级谋杀的罪名判处小罗纳德150年的监禁。

一年之后，鲁兹夫妇——乔治和凯茜以8万美金的超低价格买下了这栋湖边别墅，这简直就是他们理想中的家园，他们迫不及待地带着孩子搬了进来。但自从鲁兹一家入住之后，蹊跷难解的事件一再发生——他们经常能听到一些似乎没有声源的怪声音，门窗会莫名其妙地开关、摇椅空荡荡地无端摇摆、绿色的烂泥从天花板上渗出……奇怪的幽灵和气味无处不在，女儿总是神秘兮兮地说有个看不见的名叫朱迪的朋友在跟她打招呼，丈夫乔治的行为也日益古怪，整日整夜地呆在地下室里。虽然屋子是没有记忆的，但究竟是什么让它看起来是如此的阴魂不散？饱受精神折磨的28天过后，鲁兹一家只好选择离弃了它……
amityville horror - the most haunted house in america
the history of the amityville horror began with a best-selling novel. a book entitled the amityville horror: a true story, written by jay anson, was published in 1977 and quickly scaled the sales charts. anson was not a resident of the infamous possessed house, but a professional writer hired to pen a book based on the true events that had taken place there several years earlier.

the story behind the story began on 13th november 1974, when six members of the defeo family were killed. the parents, ronald and louise defeo, were shot in bed while they slept, along with their two sons and two daughters. the sole remaining family member, ronald jr. ("butch"), was arrested for the crime, convicted, and sentenced to prison.
the strangest thing about the murders was that all of the bodies were found face down in bed, as if something had held them there while they were shot. not one of the family appear to have been woken by the sounds of the gunshots, even thought the high powered rifle that was used can normally be heard up to a mile away when fired.
with the family dead, the house went up for sale. the horrific nature of the massacre unnerved the otherwise quiet long island neighbourhood.
the following year, a new family, the lutzes, moved into the house. george and kathy lutz, along with their three children, said that shortly after they moved in, their six-bedroom abode became a hell house. it seemed that perhaps the demons that drove butch to slaughter his family were not in his head but in the house.

an unseen force ripped doors from hinges and slammed cabinets closed, noxious green slime oozed from the ceilings, a biblical-scale swarm of insects attacked the family, and a demonic face with glowing red eyes peered into their house at night, leaving cloven-hoofed footprints in the morning snow. locked windows and doors would open constantly by themselves. george lutz would wake up every night at 3.15 am, the exact time that the defeo murders took place. a priest was called upon to bless the house, but was driven back with painful blisters on his hands, and was told by a demonic voice to "get out!".
after 28 days the family fled the house, never to return. they left all of their possessions in the house which were never collected. they quickly went public and told of the horrors that that tormented them in the house.
