After the brutal murder, the legend about this haunted house did not end. More than a year later, 1 12 Ocean Avenue came into people's sight again. GeorgeLutz and KathyLutz decided to have a look at the house and finally bought it, even though they knew there had been a massacre here. This property includes a 4,000-square-foot house, a boathouse, a heated swimming pool, a garage and an entire basement. Soon, they moved in with their four children.

George often uses the word "abnormal" when describing the strange things that happened at Ocean Avenue 1 12. He later recalled: "As soon as I walked into this room, Kathy's face immediately smiled. Kathy has never shown this attitude towards all the houses we have seen before. Her smile told me that this is our dream house. " But soon after moving here, a series of strange things happened.

Persuaded by their good friends, the Lutz couple specially asked the pastor to pray for their new home. But the priest's work obviously didn't play any role. The blessed couple have experienced too many strange things since then-banging, elusive footsteps, mysterious smells everywhere, green gelatinous substances oozing from the wall, backward toilet water, swarms of house flies, eyes peeping out of the window and so on. What is even more bizarre is that the Lutz family's behavior is also abnormal-George is often sick, does not take a bath for many days, and loses weight; Kathy has been having nightmares; Four children often fight.

With more and more strange things, the Lutz couple decided to move out temporarily, but the night they decided to leave became their last night on Ocean Avenue 1 12. Although it is difficult to explain what happened that night, George said, "The most puzzling thing for people who have experienced haunted is that they can't let others know what happened. Those things can't be described in words or understood. When it really happens to you, you have become a monster in everyone's eyes.

Later, all the strange things that Lutz and his wife experienced were labeled as "fabrication" by StephenKaplan, a supernatural researcher and the late doctor. Kaplan said that George's ghost story was too bizarre and unconvincing, and claimed that the haunted house might stem from his obsession with supernatural phenomena, which had existed in his mind before moving into the so-called haunted house.
