"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead, his eyes are closed."

The Amityville Horror by Jay Anson.
Bantam Books, 1977. 300 p.
The Lutzes are pleasantly surprised when they are able to purchase their dream house for a very affordable price. However, soon after they move in, they begin to realize that their new house has a dark and sinister secret. Filled with creepy details, this is a classic case study of a real-life haunting. Much of the Lutzes' testimony has recently been discredited, but the book is still terrifying.

In the early 1800s, a Tennessee farm family was plagued by a strange presence. At first, the "Bell Witch" haunted the Bell family with strange sounds. Later, it physically assaulted them.
