Unintentionally hilarious (the priest with the offensive gastroenteritis was funniest), sometimes creepy (need I mention the pig?), overall pretty silly. ( )

I read this book in high school and it terrified me so much I couldn't look out the window for fear of seeing those read glowing eyes. I guess what terrified me the most was that it was based on a true account. A must read for those who love to be scared out of their minds! ( )

Its's a marfvelous horror story, even better published as non-fiction. This is re-read number three and i still love to turn the page and see what comes nedxt. I wouldn't have waited 26 days to get out of there, i dont think. The pig image is rather scary, but then I am not Jewish. I suspect if one doesn't eat pork, no threat could come from the pig image.

A super-quick read, but there's no way that even half the stuff in this book really happened. Entertaining, though, and good for paranormal buffs. I wish Ghost Hunters would do an episode about the Amityville house! ( )

I love haunted house stories. This is one of the best. It is supposed to be based on a true story (hell if i know, lol) that just makes it more creepy and scary and unnerving and just plain terrifing. ( )
