I would love to add a scene to a ghost movie, imagine a room or basement full of baby ghosts and finding out the place used to be an abortuary.

“However, we didn’t tell anybody that … because forty years ago people didn’t want to hear it...”

So I guess the words “Amityville” and “Horror” just mean nothing to this guy?

The house in question sits on a 200-acre farm in Harrisville, Road Island, was built in 1776, and is the subject of the hit movie ‘The Conjuring.’

Haven't seen the movie and already I'm horrified!

Sounds like this movie is filmed like ghost movies use to be with honest scares instead of the “jump-loud-music” scares in current films.

Study after study have shown that the occupants of “haunted” houses tend to have very serious...and very long term...psychiatric problems.

So powerful were Nazi Germany’s occult ideas... exorcising them from the planet took six years, ... nearly 4 million men under arms

Methinks somebody has mislaid a decimal point somewhere. The Red Army alone conscripted upwards of 30M men during the war.

Hokum and Horse Feathers. I don’t believe any of it either.

I only watch comedies about ghosts or zombies. Ie Ghostsbusters or Zombiland.

I lived, for a few months, about 3 miles from the amityville horror house. This was back in the late 1970s. Drove past it and threw lit packs of fire crackers on the lawn. Being in my twenties and real mature was to blame. And the Jack Daniels didnt hurt either.

I knew a guy 30 years ago in Savannah, GA claimed to live in a haunted house. He was pretty matter of fact about it. Said his wife and kids had all seen and heard weird stuff. When I scoffed he said, “You can come spend the night on the couch”. I always meant to but never got around to it. The house had supposedly been written up in a book about Famous Haunted Houses of the South.

Update: According to Box Office Mojo, the movie is now at $72 million. Again, with a production budget of $20m.

It’s rating at Rotten Tomatoes is 85% from the critics, and 88% from the audience. Very good ratings.

Don’t know if I am mental or anything but this is the creepiest thing that ever happened to me.....

In 1985 I was living in Jacksonville ,FL in what I would call “The Projects”, a trio of very low income apartment complexes that were all nestled quite closely together. One summer night, my whole family, about 8 of us at the time, were outside throwing a football around in the parking lot with the other people living in the complex. It was starting to get dark so me(age 8) and my sister(age 6) were told to go inside. We were in a bedroom putting a puzzle together when I saw something move in the hallway. As I looked up to see who/what it was the “thing” came into the room. The best way that I could describe the “thing” is that it looked like a shadow in human form, but without a solid human shape. It was approx. 6 ft tall, taller than my step-dad who is 5ft 9. The “shadow man” came into the room, looked at us, then turned off the light by using the light switch. There was no face, only a shadow that you couldn’t see through. My sister started screaming and I immediately jumped up and turned the light back on. I ran down the hallway because even though I saw the “shadow man” I still thought that maybe my cousin was pranking me or something because I had never seen anything like that before(or since). When I got to the front door I could still see all of the other family members outside in the parking lot. There is no possible way that anyone could have made it outside that fast since we were 2 floors up and I had quickly reacted to the light being turned off. My mom said that no one had been in the apartment except me and my sister. To this day I still do not know what it was. I still have a VERY vivid memory of the incident. The light didn’t flicker out. The power didn’t shut off. I had to physically turn the switch back on to restore the light. This is the only weird or paranormal or whatever you want to call it experience that I have ever had, and the hairs on my neck stand up every time I think about it.

“Road Island”? Wait. Is this article trying to spell Rhode Island?

If that is so now THAT is scary.

A lot of God & Christianity on this site, but I wouldn’t believe it from this nonsense.

So... They stayed in the house being “tormented” for over a decade?

Somebody my daughter follows on Instagram said the movie wasn't that scary but he freaked out when he went to Taco Bell afterwords and his bill came to $6.66! He posted the receipt!

fWIW I met Ed and Lorraine Warren in the late 80’s as a teen in college and they seemed down to earth and respectable. They gave us a presentation on their paranormal investigations and seemed like good religious people. Never asked for any money so that always makes me believe a persons story more!

Since this thread is about the paranormal, I’d like to retell what I experienced a couple decades ago when I was a volunteer interpreter at the Old Stone House at the Manassas National Battlefield Park. I should add that this house served as a hospital during both the First and Second Battles of Bull Run—I’m a Southerner and that’s what we called them—and soldiers had died in this house trying to recover from their wounds.

One Sunday evening in the winter (and the sun was rapidly setting) and after the other interpreter had gone home, it was my duty to close up the place. Prior to doing so it was necessary to thoroughly check both floors to make sure no visitors were in the house. That I did.

As I was preparing to lock the door I heard footsteps on the second floor. I knew that shouldn’t be possible since I had just checked that floor and when I came down I stayed at the base of their stairway so no one could have gone by me.

I went upstairs and found that there was no one there. But I damn sure heard those footsteps.

I quickly locked the door and go the hell out of there.

It never happened again.
