well that is no problem, there is no need to rush this. I myself do not have a lot of time, but would be more then willing to help. I do not believe that i am academic enough to lead this project, but as you said if we can get Derek on board and maybe one or two more, i might have someone in mind, we should be OK.

If you would like to contact me you can email me at kwalsh@blueyonder.co.uk, or use that same address to add me to MSN. I can also be contacted by clicking that link in my siggy.

I just have to say, being a native Long Islander for half my life, that house is scary, and there is good reason people never ever live there for long.
I myself lived about 10 minutes away in West Babylon. I would have to pass it every now and again, and it would give me the chills.

Some places are better left alone. Thats one of them.

Oh wow, so you live by the house.

Maybe, if its not to much trouble, you could take some pictures next time you pass the house. I would love to see what it looked like these days.

Just going back to something that was mentioned a few times in the earlier pages, the latest owners have reported "nothing unusual in the house".

Something to think about...

Could the owners be saying this due to all the unwanted publicity in the past. Perhaps there is still paranormal activity, on a small scale mind you, in the house but the owners are reluctant to say anything.

I know if I lived there and 'events', even small ones were happening, given the history of the house, I would not reside there for very long.

But what if the occurances were minute and liveable ( or even unnoticable )
Could the latest owners overlook such things, just keep the peace and continue to liver there?

Just spitballin here, adding to the mystery.

Okay.I can head the project.Only if you guys want.I will need time.You know to get my bearings.I have to go to work now but i will be on later.
In three days I will have something to present to you guys.Expect some sort of u2u before then.

I dont live there anymore, moved in 01. There are alot of goings ons with the house that those people aren't telling you. There have been quite a few families that lived there and now it remains vacant. The reason they are denying the paranormal activity is because ever since the 70's people have hounded them about what exactly happened, one of the biggest dares for highschoolers was to try to go in there and see what was up.

Your best bet would be to find a neighbor, there are 2 that live within yards of the place that have lived there for years, that could tell you about all of the creepy goings ons. You can also get a boat, like a boston whaler and set up anchor right by their dock. Its on the LI Sound, so you really dont have to worry too much about trespassing. The sound is public property. The back windows facing the water are where you would want to look anyways, there's a few apparitions who like to look out of those on clear nights.

Tor ,Derek count me in,nice piccy DT:upicklewash good to have you on board.

There is a summery of this topic so far, on a board, the link is in my signature.

I am always happy to help lol.

Hey i am not ickle, i am over 6' lol.

I am truly sorry about the "RE-Post" of the Amityyville website.
I have always been interested in this topic and I think I was thinking way to fast and not reading enough of the posts.....

It is a great thread though and I hope that it keeps going on.
There is more than meets the eye over this topic,even though they say it has been proven inaccurate as far as the story goes.
Like one of the threads states,"It may have been debunked,but there still was six people muredered there," and I also heard that there was a seventh person as well...

Hope to hear more about this topic of discussion.

I also have been intrested in this for over 16 years ,about the 7th body I believe it was Dawns as her body was allegedally moved to the basement. Let's hope all here can find out what we can w/o infringing on the current owners.

[edit on 2/3/2006 by kuhl]

What we need to do is make a list of all the different parts of the whole story.Mabey start with a few mains areas then start breaking them down into subgroups.The further we go the longer it will take.We have alot of info between all of us so far.I don't think we really need to bother the current owners,but you never know.I am working on things already.Nothing solid yet but a guideline from everyone will help.
I dunno I have to get a few things together.

Scarecrow

WoahhH!!! I just gt MAJOR chills when I looked at that picture....indeed interesting. i have seen a ghost myself, so I am not suprised. Awesome post!

He he he.

Thanks Derek for clearing that up. I will be u2uing you with what me and picklewalsh are working on now.I think you will like it,well I do.

Anyway excellent list man. We have alot of work to do!

So I'm flipping channels last night and I come across Amityville : The Horror on the Biography channel. It was mostly old stuff I'd already seen, but right in the middle...guess what flashes by?

Our picture!!

Except, no boy in it.
But the exact image we have here.
Granted it may have just been one of the many others taken from that camera that night, but I found it REAL interesting that it was there.

I didn't happen to record the show and I'll be checking when I get home to see if it's on On demand on on at any other time.

Anyone happen to catch it?

-DT

The camera that took the picture shot off rolls of film but the boy only appeared in one picture as far as i know.So there are many pics w/o the boy but only one with him.
