Amityville and Beyond

LIGHT YEARS BEYOND ANY OTHER BOOK ON POLTERGEISTS AND HAUNTINGS If you are a reader who has greatly enjoyed - or has been inspired by - the works of John Keel, Dr. Nandor Fodor, Jacques Vallee or Hans Holzer, you will find this work to be an outstanding breakthrough book on the paranormal. Likewise, if you are just looking for something to titillate your sense of fear this is guaranteed to be a real page turner. SIX MEMBERS OF THE DEFEO FAMILY WERE MURDERED IN COLD BLOOD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT IN THEIR HOME IN AMITYVILLE, LONG ISLAND. DEMONS WERE SAID TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE HIDEOUS SLAYINGS INSIDE WHAT WAS TO BECOME KNOWN AS AMERICA'S MOST POSSESSED DWELLING. There remains a great controversy as to where the truth lies about this grizzly crime. Were all the events, as recounted in the bestselling book and the subsequent movies, true? Or was a hoax created for the purpose of cashing in on a horrific event that had captured the public's imagination? ALL NEW FINDINGS Poltergeists come in all shapes and sizes and inspire varying degrees of horror. What might be surprising is that poltergeists are NOT necessarily the spirits of the dead nor the overworked, disordered personalities of the living often thought to have become possessed by demonic forces. That which we call a "poltergeist" could just as easily include a wide range of other unearthly phenomena, such as random denizens of the dark moving through time and space and other dimensions, as well as a manifestation of cryptids, known collectively as shapeshifters and "bedroom invaders," and possibly even representatives of numerous alien races. It is not always possible to remove a poltergeist utilizing such "tools" as blessed crosses and holy water. Such items may only serve to provide more energy to the "parasites," who are often attracted to the mentally disturbed, and enable the spirit fiends to have a virtual "field day" that includes the tossing of heavy objects across a room, igniting fires, throwing knives and paperweights, causing animals to seemingly "talk" and, in extreme cases, even raping their helpless victims. As one researcher put it, "A teddy bear can work just as well for a child as holy water for a Catholic " Here, in pictures and text, are the most bizarre, the most terrifying and the most perplexing cases of poltergeist activity that you are likely to encounter, as investigated by the top paranormal researchers of today without bias and without relying on pre-existing conclusions as to what might be causing such unpleasant transgressions. And please note that these bloodsucking parasites can attack not only the most innocent of souls or the average dwelling, but have also been known to follow hysterical individuals across the vastness of the country while maintaining a stranglehold that in some cases is almost impossible to break.
