The Amityville Horror

In the 1977, America was captured by the "true" story of a haunted house in Amityville, New York. The legend of the house, as told in the book The Amityville Horror by Jay Anson, tells the story of the Lutz family who unwittingly purchased the haunted house as their dream home in a peaceful Long Island town. They are blissfully unaware that the house was the home of the infamous DeFeo murders. Within days, the Lutz family is terrorized by all sorts of frightening demonic and poltergeist type activity including floating red eyes outside of the windows, a pit to hell in the basement, black ooze coming out of the toilets, and a voice that tells them to "GET OUT!"

While it has never been conclusively proven that the story of the Amityville Horror is untrue, subsequent owners of the home have had no experiences in the house, and the Lutz family now says that their story is "mostly true." There are a number of experts who believe that the story is a hoax, while a number of others feel that the house is, indeed, haunted. Chances are, the story of the Amityville Horror has some elements of truth that have been embellished in the retelling over the years.

Personally i think that this is one of the top 5 scary legends because theres even a movie about that. I would be scarred for life, yet they didn't really went so great on the ratings it did stop my peaceful sleep for about a month! 

The killer Call

Urban legends are rarely true, but they do reveal important truths about us and our deepest, darkest fears.Staring off this scary blog with some legends that have thrilled people for several generations now.

A babysitter in her teens was by herself downstairs after putting the children to bed. The phone rang, and thinking it might be the children's parents, she answered it.

Instead of identifying himself, the caller merely breathed heavily into the phone for a few moments. She hung up, but the phone rang again. The babysitter answered it, only to hear the same breathing, followed by laughter.

The babysitter was alone in the house with the children and frightened, so she called the operator and asked that the call be traced.

When it rang a third time, she heard the same breathing and laughter before the caller hung up. The operator called back almost immediately, frightening the babysitter by telling her that the call was coming from inside the house.

The babysitter ran out, while the operator called the police. When they arrived, they discovered that a man had murdered the children and was waiting to murder the babysitter if she came upstairs.
