Show Notes

Episode Description:  In this third and final episode of the series, Harry Chambers and Drew Hudson discuss the Lutz family and their 28-day domestic “horror” in the alleged haunted house. They consider some of the questionable stories/allegations about the house and its "paranormal" activity seemingly contrived by the Lutzes and William Weber over bottles of wine. They draw comparisons between The Conjuring House, The Amityville Horror House, and The Exorcist film. The episode concludes with thoughts on the psychic experiences/"research" conducted by The Warrens and Hans Holzer. 

CW/TW: This episode reiterates the theme of family annihilation from the prior two parts of our Amityville series. This episode contains descriptions of alleged paranormal experiences. Listener discretion is advised.
