Most Haunted House in America: The Amityville Horror

  • Summary

  • 112 Ocean Avenue in Amityville (Long Island) is arguably the most haunted house in America. Inside its walls demonic forces were, allegedly, unleashed. It's a story that is a troubling mixture of real murders and deliberate myth-making. It's also a story that owes a lot to a movie that shaped America in the 1970s in profound ways...The Exorcist.


    Anthony and Maddy's guest to explore this incredible piece of paranormal history is Professor Joseph Laycock, associate professor of Religious Studies at Texas State University. He's the author of The Exorcist Effect: Horror, Religion, and Demonic Belief and The Penguin Book of Exorcisms.


    Edited by Freddy Chick and Tomos Delargy. Produced by Freddy Chick. Senior Producer is Charlotte Long.
