Amityville Ghost House

In December 1975, George and Kathleen and their children move into a house at 112 Ocean Avenue, a large Dutch Colonial house in Amityville, a neighborhood on the outskirts of town in the south shore of Long Island, New York.

Thirteen months before the Lutz family moved in, Ronald DeFeo, Jr.., The previous owner had shot dead six members of his family in the house. After 28 days Lutz family lived in the house, they begin to experience strange things with the house.

This section is based on the book written by Jay Anson, 1977, The Amityville Horror - A True Story.

Jay Anson (1921-1980), is the author of The Amityville Horror

112-numbered houses on Ocean Avenue remained empty for 13 months after the DeFeo murders, until the December 1975 Lutz family bought that house for $ 80,000. The house has six bedrooms was built with the Dutch colonial style, and has a gambrel roof. The house is equipped with swimming pool and a house boat storage. George and Kathy were married in July 1975 and had their own homes, but want to start afresh with a new home. Kathy has three children from a previous marriage, Daniel (9), Christopher (7), and Melissa aka Missy (5). They also have a Labrador dog named Harry. During their current checking will buy these homes, by their agents have been advised of that conducted by the DeFeo murders, but they thought it was not a problem.

Lutz family moved into the house on December 18, 1975. Most of the DeFeo family furniture was still there, because everything is included in the deal. A friend of George Lutz has been learned about the past history of the house, and urged them to do the blessing. But they did not understand his ways. George knew a Catholic priest named Father Ray, and he was willing to do the blessing. (In Anson's book is mentioned the name of the Reverend Father Mancuso. This is done to maintain the privacy of the Reverend's real name was Father Ralph J. Pecoraro).

Father Mancuso is a lawyer, a Catholic priest and a psychotherapist who lives in the Sacred Heart Rectory. He arrived to carry out the blessing in the evening of December 18, 1975 while George and Kathy were unpacking their belongings. When he first shook holy water and began to pray, he heard a voice clearly saying "Get out!" - "Get out!". When leaving the house, he did not mention this incident to George or Kathy. On December 24, 1975, Father Mancuso called George Lutz and urge that he not use the room where he had heard a strange sound. This is a stunning space Kathy planned to use as a sewing room, and had formerly been the bedroom of Marc and John Matthew DeFeo. Telephone conversation abruptly interrupted, and the next visit to the house resulted in Father Mancuso suffered high fever and signs encountered on his arm similar to the signs of stigmata.

At first, George and Kathy Lutz did not feel strange things with their homes. But then, they felt that "each of them lived in a different house."

Some of the Lutz family's experience is described as follows:

* George always woke up at around 3:15 every morning, and then out to the house boat storage. When the estimated time in which the DeFeo murders.
* Their house was always bothered by a bunch of flies in each winter.
* Kathy had vivid nightmares about the murder and the time when he made house purchase approvals. The children also began sleeping with a lying face, the same position when the DeFeo's body was found.
* Kathy felt as if "being held" with affection by some invisible force.
* Kathy discovered a small hidden room (around four feet) in the rear basement. The walls were painted red and the room did not appear in the blueprints of the house. The room was then known as "The Red Room." This room has an influence on their dog Harry, who refused to go near it and cowered as if sensing something negative.
* There is cold air, the smell of perfume and excrement in the house, where there are no air ducts or channels for the source.
* Their daughter is five years old, Missy, an imaginary friend named "Jodie" who has red eyes.
* George always awakened by the sound of the front door slamming. He would race downstairs to find the dog sleeping in a loud voice in front of the door. No one else who heard it except him.
* George heard what was described as a "German marching band" or sound like a radio that is not in your set with the right frequency. But when he went to the basement, the noise will stop.
* George realized that he bore a strong resemblance to Ronald DeFeo, Jr.., And began bermabukan at The Witches' Brew, the bar where DeFeo was one of its customers.
* When checking the boat storage area on one night, George saw a pair of red eyes that are considering him from Missy's bedroom window. When he went upstairs to see her, she did not find anything. Then concluded that it was "Jodie".
* While in bed, Kathy received red marks didadanya caused by an unseen force and was levitated two feet off the bed.
* Key, windows and doors were damaged by an unseen force.
* There are large parts of the animal nail in the snow which is then connected to a large pig on January 1, 1976.
* From the wall of the hall and the keyhole of the playroom door in the attic out in green mud.
* A 12-inch crucifix hung in the bathroom she was upside down and gave off a smell.
* George tripped by a china lion which has a height of about four feet, and was left with bite marks on one of his ankles.
* George saw Kathy turned into an elderly woman who was about the 90s, "with unkempt hair, the face with wrinkles and ugly, and saliva dripping from the toothless mouth."

George and Kathy Lutz is surrounded by media coverage of the case

Having decided that there was something wrong with their homes, which can not be explained rationally, George and Kathy Lutz carried out a blessing of their own on January 8, 1976. George held a silver crucifix that while they both recited the Lord's Prayer, and from their living room, according to George allegedly heard a chorus of voices telling them to stop: "Will you stop!".

In mid-January 1976, and after the blessing of the business conducted by George and Kathy, they experienced the events that later became the last night they were in the house. Lutzes of the events that happen as something very scary, "too frightening".

After consulting with Father Mancuso, they decided to take some belongings and decided to stay at home mom Kathy at the nearby Deer Park, New York. On January 14, 1976, George and Kathy Lutz with her three children and their dog Harry, left home and left a lot of stuff behind the house. The next day, a handyman was assigned to move the goods to be sent to the Lutz family. He reported no abnormal phenomena inside the house.

This book was written after Tam Mossman, an editor at the publisher Prentice Hall, introduced to George and Kathy Lutz Jay Anson. They do not work directly with Anson, but submitted a tape recording that lasted about 45 hours, which later became the basis for writing this book. It is estimated that book sales are around ten million copies of several editions. Anson is said to have based the title of his book "Amityville Horror" from "The Dunwich Horror" HP bouquet Lovecraft, published in 1929.

Atlantis in Indonesia?

Succession of natural disasters suffered by Indonesia. Starting from the tsunami in Aceh to the latest hot mudflow in East Java. It reminded us of similar events in the region known as the Continent of Atlantis. Is there a relationship between Indonesia and Atlantis?
Plato (427 to 347 BC) stated that tens of thousands of years ago there was a variety of simultaneous volcanic eruptions, causing earthquakes, melting ice, and flooding. The incident resulted in some of Earth's surface to sink. That part is called the lost continent or Atlantis.

Recent research conducted by Aryso Santos, asserted that Atlantis was the region now called Indonesia. After doing research for 30 years, he produced a book Atlantis, The Lost Continent Finally Found The Definitifve Localization Of Plato's Lost Civilization (2005). Santos displays the 33 comparisons, such as area, climate, natural resources, volcanoes, and the way of farming, which ultimately concluded that Atlantis is Indonesia. Terasisasi wetland system typical of Indonesia, he said, is the form adopted by Candi Borobudur, the Great Pyramid in Egypt, and ancient buildings Aztecs in Mexico.

It's no accident when Indonesia was in 1958, the idea of Prof. Dr. Mochtar Kusumaatmadja through Law no. 4 Exemption Law of 1960, sparked the Declaration Djoeanda. Contents stated that the Indonesian state with a union territory pedalamannya waters of the archipelago. The fact was later recognized by the International Law of the Sea Convention in 1982. Referring to the study Santos, during which tens of thousands of years ago the territory of Indonesia is a unified continent. Not be fragmented in the tens of thousands of islands as now.

Santos determined that, in the past that Atlantis is the continent that stretches from southern India, Sri Lanka, Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, continue eastward to Indonesia (now) as its center. In the region there are dozens of active volcanoes and is surrounded by oceans that integrates named Orientale, consisting of the Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean.

Plato's theory explains that the lost continent of Atlantis was caused by volcanic eruptions which erupted simultaneously. At that time most of the world is still covered by layers of ice (Pleistocene era). With the outbreak of dozens of volcanoes simultaneously mostly located in the territory of Indonesia (first), then tenggelamlah partially covered by water, the continents and the origin of the ice is melting. Among the eruption of Mount Meru in South India and Mount Semeru in East Java. Then a volcanic eruption in Sumatra which formed Lake Toba with Somasir island, which is the top of the mountain that erupted at that time. The most powerful eruption in the future is Mount Krakatau (Krakatoa), which splits the Sumatra and Java, and others and formed a plateau Sunda strait.

Atlantis comes from the Sanskrit Atala, which means heaven or tower sighting (watch tower), Atalaia (Potugis), Atalaya (Spanish). Plato asserts that the area at the time Atlantis was the center of world civilization in the form of culture, natural resources, science / technology, and others. Plato was determined that the location of Atlantis in the Atlantic Ocean now. In his time, he insisted that the earth is flat and surrounded by an ocean (ocean) as a whole. Ocean comes from the Sanskrit word which means surrounds ashayana thoroughly. Opinion was later challenged by experts in the future such as Copernicus, Galileo Galilei-Einstein, and Stephen Hawking.

Santos differs with Plato about the location of Atlantis. Brazilian scientists argue it, that at the time of the eruption of the volcano, causing the ice to melt and flow into the ocean so that the extent of increase. Water and mud came from volcanic ash are burdening the ocean and the bottom, causing tremendous pressure to the skin of the earth at the bottom of the ocean, especially on the coast of the continent. This pressure resulted in the quake. The quake was reinforced by the mountains and then a row erupted and caused the devastating tsunami waves. Santos called Heinrich Events.

In an effort to bring world history to base an opinion, it appears Plato had made two mistakes, first about the shape / position of the earth which he said flatly. Secondly, regarding the location of Atlantis which is said to be in the Atlantic Ocean which is opposed by Santos. United States military research in the area of the Atlantic proved to be able to find traces of the lost continents. Therefore there is not arbitrarily proverb which says, "amicus Plato, sed magical amica veritas." Meaning, "I am pleased to Plato, but I prefer the truth."
However, there are a few things today that between Plato and Santos agreed. Namely first, that the location of a submerged continent of Atlantis and it is ascertained by Santos as the territory of the Republic of Indonesia. Second, the number or length of the chain of volcanoes in Indonesia. Among them is the Kerinci, Gutters, Krakatoa, Malabar, Galunggung, Pangrango, Merapi, Merbabu, Semeru, Bromo, Great, Rinjani. Most of the mountain has been or is being active again.

Third, the issue of the mudflow caused by volcanic eruptions that his ashes mixed with sea water to mud. In marine sediment is then absorbed into the ground in the mainland. Hot mud is mixed with natural gas, which is impossible barrier of mud (mud obstacle that can not be passed), or in navigable (not navigable), can not be penetrated or entered. In the case in Sidoarjo, never done remote sensing, remote sensing, which may indicate canalization system in the region. There is a possibility that the former distribution of canalization hot mudflow from the past.

That Indonesia is the region which is considered as the heirs of Atlantis, of course should make us grateful. We make no inferiority in the international pergaula, because Atlantis civilization of its time is the center of the world. But as the disaster-prone areas, as has been experienced by Atlantis, it is time we learn from history and take advantage of the latest developments in science to be able to cope.
