Hear from the family who lived through the horror and skeptics determined to debunk their story.

The chilling saga of the Lutz family, whose dream house turned into such a nightmare that they abandoned it not even a month after moving in, was made famous through the book and movie The Amityville Horror. But there are many who claim that the story is simply not true.

In AMITYVILLE: HOAX OR HORROR? (the second of two HISTORY'S MYSTERIES™ Halloween specials about Amityville) we'll hear from both camps. ''Vampirologist'' Stephen Kaplan, whose offer to investigate the house shortly after the Lutzes fled was turned down, details the many points that led him to conclude their story was a hoax--and to write the book The Amityville Horror Cinspiracy. The current owner of the house seems to agree, claiming that the house is fine and the only ''demons'' are the tourists who continue to parade up and down Ocean Avenue. But the Lutzes both passed lie detector tests about their experiences, and new witnesses offer further evidence that supernatural events may still be occurring around the house.

No matter what you may feel about ghosts, spirits and demons, AMITYVILLE: HORROR OR HOAX is a fascinating look at one of the most famous haunted house stories of all time.
