    Lindsey and Nancy are opening the case files on 112 Ocean Avenue to uncover the chilling reality behind The Amityville Horror. In December 1975, George and Kathleen Lutz moved into their dream home. Just 28 days later, they fled in absolute terror.

But what actually happened during those 28 days of terror? From the dark history of the DeFeo family to the shadowy figures caught on camera by paranormal investigators, we break down the evidence that Hollywood left out. Was it a genuine portal to hell, or a brilliant financial scam cooked up over a bottle of wine? The truth is far more complicated, and sinister, than you think.

    The Stanley Hotel: Ghosts, Hauntings & The Story Behind Stephen King's "The Shining"

    What if a hotel could remember everyone who ever stayed there? The Stanley Hotel in Colorado has welcomed guests since 1909, but some say not everyone ever checked out. In this episode, Lindsey and Nancy explore the history and reported hauntings of one of America's most famous haunted hotels. From mysterious footsteps and phantom piano music to Room 217 and the ghostly stories surrounding F.O. and Flora Stanley, we're separating the history from the legend. And then there's Stephen King. His stay at the nearly empty Stanley Hotel in 1974 inspired The Shining, forever connecting this grand Colorado hotel with one of the most famous horror stories ever written. But is the Stanley actually haunted? Or does something about an old hotel, filled with generations of memories, make us expect the ghosts to be there? Come check in with us. Just don't be surprised if something else checks in too.  Keep in Touch Facebook Instagram Share Your Ghost Story: Inheritedhauntings@gmail.com Merch  Enjoyed the episode?
