No, according to George Lutz (the father of the family who lived through the haunting in Amityville in 1976) the walls never bled. He has stated this during various TV and radio interviews over the years.

The idea of the bleeding walls is likely the combination of two supposedly real events:

1) One day George and Kathy discovered tiny drops of a greenish Gelatin-like substance on the carpeted floors. They cleaned it up and blamed it on the kids. When this happened a second time on a different day, the kids were not around to blame. The source for the substance was unknown.

2) Another strange activity in the house took place on the keyholes of several interior doors. A black epoxy-like substance slowly grew from the keyholes, resembling long black teardrops. During their stay, this substance grew longer, but was always hard to the touch -- it was never found in a softened state.

The fictional blood (or slime) oozing from the walls seems to be a combination of these two incidents, neither of which appear in Jay Anson's book or the later film. Jay Anson admitted to using artistic license (especially in regards to moving events around and making the story seem more exciting) but it is unclear whether this was a direct fabrication on his part, or perhaps misinformation given to Anson by a third party.

How much do you bleed during your period?

You bleed about 2 table spoons a day. But this will very depending on weight, age, and life style. You may think your bleeding a lot but think about it. Your uterus is on average the size of your fist and every month it lines the walls with blood and tissue. It does not fill up with blood it just lines the walls. So really your bleeding very little. But if you really are worried about how much you bleed go to a doctor. Also when you bleed during your period it is highly unlikely that you could bleed enough to harm yourself mainly because all the blood you are bleeding is the blood that lines your uterus. It's not like the blood comes from another source its just like taking a bucket filling it up with water and then dumping it the water being dumped is only coming out of the bucket.

Why don't humans have cell walls?

Human cells are animal cells, which don't have cell walls. Bacteria, fungus and plants, on the other hand, do have cell walls. This is actually a good thing because many antibiotics attack the cell walls of bacteria and weaken them so they will lyse, or rupture. If animal cells had these cell walls, then the antibiotics that we take to kill off bad bacteria would actually hurt us as well.
