Real Haunted Houses in America: Part 2

From All That’s Interesting:

3 The Amityville House

Like the house from The Conjuring, the house from the film The Amityville Horror is based on a real place. And this one has an even more violent backstory.  In the early morning hours of Nov. 13, 1974, a young man named Ronald DeFeo Jr. padded quietly along the halls of his family home. Armed with a rifle, he went methodically from room to room and murdered everyone inside.

Later, DeFeo gave conflicting reasons for killing his parents and four siblings. At one point, he claimed he’d heard voices. Later on, he shifted the blame, saying that his sister and mother had actually been involved in the murders. Regardless of why DeFeo killed his family, his murderous act left a stain on the house itself. The next owners, the Lutz family, said that they felt strange, cold drafts, smelled disgusting odors and heard odd noises.

They even called in a priest to bless the home. But as he started his ritual, an invisible hand slapped him and ordered him to “get out.” Though George Lutz, the family patriarch, was later accused of embellishing the story, he has stuck stubbornly by it.

“I’m tired of being called a liar,” he said.

In 2013, Lutz’s son, Danny, came out with a documentary of his own to back up his family’s claim that the Amityville Horror house is haunted.  “It’s not easy to tell someone how you got thrown up a staircase,” Danny said. “It’s not easy telling somebody that your bed was bouncing off the ceiling.”

He added, “There was an element [there] of whatever you want to put on it. Evil demonic spirits or whatever the f— you want to call it. It exists, and that’s the hardest thing for me to deal with. Because I know it’s true.” If George and Danny Lutz are to be believed, then the Amityville Horror house is undoubtedly one of the most haunted houses in America.

4 The Myrtles Plantation

Some American haunted houses are scary because of stories and rumors. But the Myrtles Plantation, some claim, has physical evidence that ghosts haunt it.

This St. Francisville, Louisiana, plantation, which dates back to the 18th-century, has a gory history of slavery, murder, and more. Two people, in particular, are alleged to have died bloody deaths here.  The first is an enslaved girl named Chloe. As the legend goes, she was forced into a sexual relationship with the plantation owner, Clarke Woodruff. Worried that his wife would find out and punish her, Chloe began eavesdropping on the family’s conversation. When they caught her, the Woodruffs cut off her ear.

Chloe started wearing a turban to cover her mutilated ear — and began to plot her revenge. According to the story, she killed Woodruff’s wife and children with poison. Other enslaved people on the plantation panicked because they thought Woodruff would punish everyone — so they killed Chloe themselves. But although they threw Chloe’s body in the river, her spirit stayed at Myrtles Plantation. And in 1992, a photo taken for insurance reasons purportedly caught her on film.

This story does have a few holes, however. For starters, there is no documentation that the Woodruffs held someone in slavery named Chloe. And Clarke Woodruff’s family died of yellow fever, not poison. That is if you believe their version of history. The second person who died at Myrtles Plantation has a better-recorded death. William Winter, who inherited the plantation in 1871 after marrying one of the family’s daughters, died on its grounds. A mysterious man shot him in the chest, giving Winter just enough time to stumble up the stairs before he died in his wife’s arms.  Today, some claim to have seen William run indoors, only to collapse on the 17th step of the house — where he died in real life.

  1. NF: Hoping this one isn’t true….

    NF: I’ve wondered this often myself….

    “In the book “The Hunt for Red October” there’s a quote early on, to the effect that the chance someone spills the beans on a classified project is proportional to the square of the number of people in on it. So I look at what does – with some evidence – seem to indicate some level of storm control, and ask… how is it possible that so many would have to be in on it, but nobody’s blabbed? Especially not when pictures of the devastation, plus news of the dead, are coming out?”

    “October, the chilly harvest season, when the red chillies are mature, farmers pick them and leave them to dry in the hot sun. Once dry the chillies can easily be stored, transported and sold. This picture was taken from a unique aerial perspective, when the farmers were busy with the harvest.”

    “While going to the beach to take photos, the shadow of some people in a cafe in Basiskele, Kocaeli, caught my attention. As a result, I decided to wait for the sunset in order to emphasize the shadow effect. After a few shots, someone suddenly looked out a window providing another interesting frame.”

    “On the sand dunes of Mui Ne, situated close to its homonym city in South Vietnam, three girls are walking along the slope wearing their typical cone hats and carrying their scales, creating beautiful lines and shade effects on the sand.”

  12. “Coincidence or Not, the Storms Mark the Beginning of the Most Impactful Days for America. One does not need to be a conspiracy theorist to see a potential conspiracy here… though it clearly helps.”

    JD Rucker, Oct 09, 2024

    ENTIRE ARTICLE: “Throughout our relatively short history as a nation, events have marked turning points that not only impact Americans but the world as a whole. The signing of the Declaration of Independence, Civil War, Pearl Harbor, 9/11, and Covid are five of the world-changing events that mark our history.

    We’re in the middle of another one. The world will change on (or around) Election Day, 2024. It is on this day that it will be declared whether the United States will continue to exist as an exceptional nation or if our time as the world’s beacon of hope has come to an end.

    That is not hyperbole. As I have noted in my writing and on my show, we will not remain intact if Kamala Harris is installed as President of the United States. To use a boxing analogy, we have already been weakened with an onslaught of body blows under the Biden-Harris regime. The Globalist Elite Cabal will be able to easily land a haymaker if Kamala takes the reins. It will be sudden and it will be final.

    That’s why the timing of TWO “storms of the century” is conspicuous. I’m willing to accept a small percentage chance that it’s just a coincidence. But there are two theories that seem far more likely; at least they do with my “conspiracy theorist” mentality.

    The one that’s getting the most traction in such circles is that the storms were manipulated by human/demonic forces. As I discussed on yesterday’s show, the technology is available to at least take an existing or forming hurricane and amplify it as well as point it in a rough direction. Such technology was in the hands of our government and likely other nation’s governments for decades, albeit in more primitive forms. What have they developed since the 1940s and Project Cirrus?

    If this is happening, we must wonder why. There are those who believe it’s simply to disrupt the election by allowing “looser” voting rules in important states like North Carolina and Florida. If Kamala Harris were to “win” those two states, she’d almost certainly “win” the election.

    Others believe it could simply be the ultimate distraction to keep the news cycle busy while they engage in… something. I don’t want to believe that this is the case because it means the powers-that-be will kill scores and displace millions over something petty like the news cycle.

    Whether that’s happening now or not, I’ve long-believed that such things happen regularly, to the point that I’m not sure the second “assassination attempt” on Donald Trump wasn’t staged to cover up the bombshell whistleblower affidavit highlighting the Harris campaign colluding with ABC News before the debate. That story dropped on schedule but before it could get any attention, a dude with a rifle was caught without getting a shot off.

    Probably coincidence.

    The other theory is the one that should both thrill and terrify us the most. What if God is sending these massive storms to punch us in the nose ahead of our demise? I’d love to hope they’re a pair of warning shots and that brighter days are ahead, but considering how much we deserve judgment, I wouldn’t bet on it.

    Solar activity that some theorize can amplify storms has been in play since right around the storms started, particularly Milton. It’s not a theory you’ll hear much about on either corporate media or alternative media because it denies the man-made narrative from both sides. Conspiracy theorists want to blame DARPA. Leftists want to blame climate change. Neither side wants to attribute any of this to the Sun, especially as a method through which God could be acting against America.

    As usual, the cause doesn’t change our own actions very much. Regardless of what’s causing the storms, we need to do what we can to help those who are impacted. We must also be mindful of attempts to use the chaos from the storms to steal the 2024 election, advance the climate change agenda, or both.

    Whatever happens with the storm, we are officially in political crunch time. But it’s not just a political battle. This is a fight for America’s future. The soul of our nation will be fundamentally changed by this election. Kamala Harris represents the end while Donald Trump represents, at the very least, a delay in our collapse. The stakes have never been greater in our lifetimes.”

  13. I am adding a short daily prayer to the board. I would invite each of you, if you wish, to also add one or maybe two of your own liking. I do not want to stifle anyone but please limit yourself to one or two religious postings. here’s one I found that I liked.
