Background
The reported haunting became Jay Anson's 1977 book The Amityville Horror and the long film series that followed, and the Warrens' account is partly dramatised in the opening of The Conjuring 2. Their version has long been disputed: investigators, eyewitnesses and forensic evidence contradicted it, and in 1979 a lawyer said he, Anson and the occupants had invented much of the story over many bottles of wine.
