The Lutz family purchased the home for a greatly reduced price but shortly after moving in claimed that doors were ripped open, damaging hinges and bending locks, windows were suddenly opened, green slime oozed from the ceiling and cloven-hooved footprints were left in the snow. The Lutzes remained in the home for only 28 days. In a court case where the Lutzes were sued, they admitted that almost everything in the 1977 book ''[[The Amityville Horror]]'' was fictional.<ref>{{cite web \|last1=Nickell \|first1=Joe \|author-link=Joe Nickell\|title=Amytyville: The Horror Of It All \|url=https://skepticalinquirer.org/2003/01/amityville-the-horror-of-it-all/ \|website=Skeptical Inquirer.
