Amityville is synonymous with horror movies, but that's because of a real-life tragedy that happened on 13th November, 1974, when Ronald DeFeo Jr. murdered his parents and his four younger siblings. Initially, he claimed a mob hitman was responsible, but later confessed to the crimes. After the murders, newlyweds George and Kathy Lutz moved in to the DeFeo house, bringing along Kathy's three children and their dog, Harry. Within 28 days, however, they'd fled, claiming paranormal experiences on the property, from swarms of flies to visions of a demonic pig. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly reveal what happened when the Lutzes took a polygraph test; explain how their story snowballed into first a bestselling book, then a movie franchise; and consider how the town has coped with its consequent celebrity status… Further Reading: • ‘Amityville Murders: The True Story Of The Killings That Inspired The Movie' (All Thats Interesting, 2022): https://allthatsinteresting.com/amityville-murders • 'The Amityville Horror House' (Long Island Guide): https://www.longislandguide.com/visit/amityville-horror-house/ • ‘THE AMITYVILLE HORROR' (MGM, 1979): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbCJv_vWyQA Love the show?

Halloween Week = extra episodes! Ryan talks by himself here about the 1979 Amityville Horror...and a little about the other Amityville flicks too...all of which are based on a horrific real-life tragedy that led to a (possibly made-up) haunting in that same house. James Brolin and Margot Kidder play newlyweds who move into a place on Long Island with her 3 kids, then it starts messing with all of them...especially Brolin's mind. Chairs rock on their own, furious flies fill a room, fathers get mad and walls bleed...but will the Lutzes listen to what Rod Steiger heard early on and "GET OUT"? In any case, for God's sake, download the 620th edition of Have You Ever Seen as Stuart Rosenberg's fairly-effective horror show is discussed in fairly humorous detail.

On December 18, 1975, George and Kathy Lutz moved their family into their new house on Ocean Avenue in Amityville, NY, where, just one year earlier, Ronald DeFeo Jr. had murdered all six members of his family. Twenty-eight days later, the Lutz family fled the home, leaving behind all their belongings and vowing never to return again. According to the Lutzes, their time in the house on Ocean Avenue was a nightmare of psychic attacks and demonic activity that put them in fear for their lives.The supposed experience of the Lutz family served as the basis for the iconic haunted house story, The Amityville Horror, and the countless films adapted from or inspired by the original novel. However, unlike most other stories of paranormal experiences, The Amityville Horror became a phenomenon that influenced everything from Ronald DeFeo's criminal defense to the American public's belief in the supernatural. Yet for all their talk of it being a genuine story of demonic activity, in the years since the publication of The Amityville Horror, a large body of evidence from skeptical evaluations to court records and interview transcripts suggest that America's most notorious haunted house might not have been quite so haunted after all.Thank you to the Incredible Dave White of Bring Me the Axe Podcast for research and Writing support!!ReferencesAnsen, Jay. 1978.

In Episode 13, Lisa is joined by Roberta Glass, of The Roberta Glass True Crime Report, for a look at the case of State of New York v. Ronald Joseph Defeo, Jr.. Defeo murdered his father, mother, two sisters and two brothers in the early morning hours of November 13, 1974. Defeo was arrested, tried and convicted in November, 1975. Lisa and Roberta talked about the murders, Defeo's trial, conviction and sentence and the claims made by George and Kathy Lutz, who bought the house in December, 1975. The Lutz family's claims of paranormal activity in the house during their 28 days there led to the book, "The Amityville Horror," by Jay Anson. They also talked about the controversy surrounding the Lutz' claims and the allegations made by William Weber, Defeo's trial attorney, who claimed that the haunted house story was hatched over multiple bottles of wine with the Lutzes.
Tackling the story most requested by Dark House listeners, Alyssa and Hadley come face to face with 112 Ocean Avenue in Amityville, New York, the Dutch-Colonial house that inspired The Amityville Horror. The best-selling-book-turned-hit-movie tells the dramatic tale of George and Kathy Lutz, a young newlywed couple who purchased 112 Ocean Avenue in December of 1975, just a year after previous owners Ron and Louise DeFeo and four of their children were brutally murdered in the home. Having fled from the house only 28 days after moving in, the Lutzes told friends and neighbors that "unseen forces" drove them out. Looking to understand why today—despite the fact that the movie remains a classic—the Lutz's story is widely regarded as a hoax, the hosts dig for nuggets of truth buried under a mountain of lies and internet theories. They take a closer look at the DeFeo case and what could've possibly motivated Butch DeFeo, Ron and Louise's eldest son, to commit such a heinous crime, as well as what exactly the Lutzes said happened to them in those 28 days living at the house, and how their credibility has been called into question since. Plus, they discover why the next family to move in after the Lutzes was also forced to abandon the home.

The Amityville Horror é um livro do autor americano Jay Anson, publicado em setembro de 1977, do qual se tornou o alicerce de uma série de filmes lançados a partir de 1979. A narrativa é baseada nas experiências sobrenaturais da família Lutz, mas gerou controvérsia e processos judiciais sobre sua veracidade. No dia 13 de novembro de 1974, Ronald DeFeo Jr. atirou e matou seis pessoas de sua família na 112 Ocean Avenue, uma grande casa colonial holandesa localizada no bairro suburbano de Amityville em Nova York. Ele foi condenado por assassinato em segundo grau em novembro de 1975 e sentenciado a seis penas de 25 anos a prisão perpétua. Um mês depois de sua sentença, George e Kathy Lutz, juntamente com seus três filhos, se mudaram para a casa. Após 28 dias agonizantes, os Lutzes finalmente deixaram a propriedade para trás, alegando ter sido aterrorizados por fenômenos paranormais enquanto moravam lá. No episódio de hoje, nossos investigadores Andrei Fernandes, Jey Carrillo e Gabi Larocca convidam Tati Regis e Daniel Pires do canal Daniel Pires, o Lenda para falar sobre o filme e fatos da obra que seguiu os passos de O Massacre da Serra Elétrica: O terror em Amityville foi criado com base na veracidade do livro de mesmo nome. Mas será mesmo que sua autenticidade é válida? E aí, você acha que a casa é realmente assombrada pelos ecos de um crime horrendo cometido nela? Diz aí para gente!

RETURN TO AMITYVILLE Back in the early 1970s, a horrible murder took place in this house on Ocean Avenue in Amityville. The Lutz family moved in afterward and claimed they were haunted by evil spirits and demons. The book they wrote about the experience became a famous film in 1979. One of the most famous homes in America, the house has since changed owners many times. The original address was 112 Ocean Avenue but has since been changed to 108 Ocean Avenue to thwart lookie-loos The house was built in 1927 Tragedy struck on November 13, 1974, when Ronald DeFeo Jr. shot and killed six members of his family with a .35 caliber rifle while they were asleep None of their neighbors heard any gunshots and seemingly none of the family members woke up from the shots All of the family members were found in the same position - face down in their beds DeFeo initially claimed a mafia hitman killed his family though he later admitted to the murders There is speculation that a second killer might have been involved but evidence has been inconclusive Over the years DeFeo's story has changed Ronald DeFeo Jr. was found guilty and is still serving a life sentence in prison for the murders Some claim that Defeo might not have committed the murders on his own The Lutz family purchased the home over a year later for $88,000 They stayed in the house for only 28 days Cover of the original book. The Lutz family published the book “The Amityville Horror” in 1977 detailing the terrors they claimed they experienced after moving into the home To date, reports say that over 10 million copies of the book have been sold The book was made into a 1979 movie starring James Brolin and Margot Kidder There have been more than a dozen movies made about the haunting since then, with some lists featuring more than 20 films Experts have since debunked the Lutz's story In fact, the Lutz's lawyer later admitted to the hoax quoted as saying “We created this horror story over many bottles of wine… It is a hoax” One of the Lutz children, Daniel, claimed in a later documentary as an adult that he did experience supernatural phenomenon in the house. Another Lutz child, Christopher, also claimed to have had a creepy experience in the house. Although both children say the events detailed in the book are mostly fictional they both blame their step-father George for bringing on any supernatural phenomenon as they say that he dabbled in the occult People still go to visit the home to take pictures even though the exterior has been renovated and the iconic quarter moon windows have been replaced Owners since the Lutz Family have NOT had any supernatural or creepy experiences in the house The next owner after the Lutzes reportedly purchased the home for $55,000 In 2010, the house was purchased for $950,000 In 2016, the house was put up for sale for $850,000 In 2016, the house became Realtor.com's most searched house. A report says that the house sold for $605,000 in March 2017 A listing describes the house as a “Stately Center Hall Colonial On Amityville River. Large Boat House + 2 Car Garage Plus Boat Slip. Mint Condition” You can see a slide show of the interior and exterior grounds on Zillow. Zillow describes it as a “Legendary Amityville Home” and lists its value at $663,877 Ronald DeFeo Jr. then 23, gunned down his parents and four siblings there on November 13, 1974. The notorious killer died behind bars on March 12 2021 at 69.

On November 13, 1974, Ronald DeFeo Jr. shot and killed six members of his family at 112 Ocean Avenue, a large Dutch Colonial house situated in a suburban neighborhood in Amityville, on the south shore of Long Island, New York. He was convicted of second-degree murder in November 1975 and sentenced to six sentences of 25 years to life in prison. DeFeo died in custody in March 2021. In December 1975, George and Kathy Lutz and their three children moved into the house. After 28 days, the Lutzes fled the house, claiming to have been terrorized by paranormal phenomena while living there.
Competing narratives and fictionalized accounts make it hard to say what exactly happened in the house at 112 Ocean Avenue after the Lutz family moved in. Maybe the Amityville house truly was haunted — after all, it was the site of a near-complete family annihilation. But what if what happened to the Lutzes had nothing to do with the house at all?

In the early evening hours of November 13, 1974, a young bearded man burst into a local bar in Amityville, New York in a panic. He believed his parents might have been shot, and he didn't know what to do. Several patrons at the bar followed him home in order to help. What they found would horrify the community. In the home on 112 Ocean Avenue, six bodies lay dead, all shot to death. The police were called and the investigation began. It didn't take long for detectives to come to the conclusion that Ronald Joseph DeFeo, Jr. had killed his own family hours before bursting into the bar. But the story wouldn't stop there. It didn't stop once Ronald, or Butch as he was known, was convicted. The house itself would become infamous. A month after DeFeo's conviction, George and Kathy Lutz would move into the home only to leave 28 days later. They claimed the house was possessed. This claim led to a book and then a series of popular horror films. In this episode, we discuss the claims by the Lutzes, the murders committed by DeFeo, and then go deep into his Italian immigrant roots where we found family ties to the Genovese crime family.
In the early morning of November 13, 1974, Ronald DeFeo Jr. shot and killed his mother, father, two sisters and two brothers in the family home at 112 Ocean Avenue. DeFeo claimed that he heard voices telling him to do it. All the victims were shot in their beds and were found laying face down. In November 1975, DeFeo was found guilty of six counts of second degree murder and was sentenced to 25 years to life for each one. The next month, George Lutz and his family purchased the home for $80,000 and moved in. The Lutz family began to experience paranormal activities that became so severe, the family fled after just 28 days......... The Lutzes story was the inspiration for a book titled "The Amityville Horror", which was later turned into a horror movie in 1979.
Join us as we discuss the book by Jay Anson...The Amityville Horror! It works as a documentation of the Lutz family in the houe. Does it work as just a stand alone horror novel? In December 1975, George and Kathy Lutz and their three children moved into the house. After 28 days, the Lutzes fled the house, claiming to have been terrorized by paranormal phenomena while living there.

The Amityville haunting is a modern folk story based on the true crimes of Ronald DeFeo Jr. On November 13, 1974, DeFeo shot and killed six members of his family at 112 Ocean Avenue, Amityville, on the south shore of Long Island, New York. He was convicted of second-degree murder in November 1975. George and Kathy Lutz and their three children moved into the house. After 28 days, the Lutzes left the house, claiming to have been terrorized by paranormal phenomena while living there. These events served as the historical basis for Jay Anson's 1977 novel The Amityville Horror, which was followed by a number of sequels and was adapted into a film of the same name in 1979. Since then, many films have been produced that draw explicitly, to a greater or lesser extent, from these historical and literary sources. As Amityville is a real town and the stories of DeFeo and the Lutzes are historical, there can be no proprietary relationship to the underlying story elements associated with the Amityville haunting. As a result of this, there has been no restriction on the exploitation of the story by film producers, which is the reason that most of these films share no continuity, were produced by different companies, and tell widely varying stories.

The Amityville Horror is a book by American author Jay Anson, published in September 1977. It is also the basis of a series of films released from 1979 onward. The book is claimed to be based on the paranormal experiences of the Lutz family, but has led to controversy and lawsuits over its truthfulness. On November 13, 1974, Ronald DeFeo Jr. shot and killed six members of his family at 112 Ocean Avenue, a large Dutch Colonial house situated in a suburban neighborhood in Amityville, on the south shore of Long Island, New York. He was convicted of second-degree murder in November 1975. In December 1975, George and Kathy Lutz and their three children moved into the house. After 28 days, the Lutzes fled the house, claiming to have been terrorized by paranormal phenomena while living there.

Was Ryan Reynold's murder spree an accurate depiction of the high strangeness the Lutzes experienced? Was it the walls telling young Defeo to end the lives of his family - or the voices in his head? And what do you do when you're stuck in the countyside with an urban legend on your tail? Join us for our spooky Halloween episode where BOTH Brooke and Anna share spine-tingling tales
*Edit (10/27/2020)* - Hey folks Kendra here! So I mentioned in this episode that I thought the Lutz family drew some inspiration from the red room in Haunting at Hill House, BUT that is not possible. The red room is in the Netflix adaptation, equally amazing in my opinion, but definitely not out for public viewing when the Lutz family lived at 112 Ocean Avenue. Sorry about the mix up!We are covering a classic paranormal tale that has haunted the minds of its readers since 1977. The Amityville Horror has left readers thinking “No way….but what if” for ages. Come along, as we share the Lutzes tale of their 28 day stay at 112 Ocean Avenue and try to separate fact from fiction. We aren’t going to lie, The Amityville Horror hits on a ton of classic paranormal tropes! So we are sure there will be something bone chilling for any horror lover in this story. PS. I (Kendra) don’t know what possessed me to continuously refer to the Lutz family as just “the Lutz” instead of “the Lutzes”, but I did and it is super annoying. Sorry guys!Be warned, there will be SPOILERS ahead in this episode. If you would like a spoiler free experience, check out The Amityville Horror by Jay Anson. Don't forget to come back and join our weird book club once you've finished the story!We are looking for MORE listener suggestions to expand our bookshelves and use in upcoming episodes! If you are interested in sharing a book you love with us or our weird book club, share your listener suggestions through our gmail (palaverweirdlit@gmail.com).

Top 5 Most Haunted Houses in America Home is where the heart is. A place where families and couples can grow old together and live happily ever after. But sometimes, things don't always go as planned. The next five houses started out full of promise but ended up filled with tragedy. As time passed something other then people has taken up residence within their walls. These are the top 5 most haunted houses in America. 5. The Sylvester K. Pierce Victorian Mansion The SK Pierce mansion was a true marvel for its time. Built in Gardner Massachusetts, The 7,000 sq. foot home contained 10 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, large Victorian windows, 11-foot ceilings, marble fireplaces and beautiful moldings in every corner. Nothing was overlooked. 4. The Kreischer Mansion Built on top of a hill in Staten Island, the Kreischer Mansion overlooks the Arthur Kill, a small body of water that separates New York and New Jersey. When it was first built, there were actually two identical mansions right next to each other but the other mansion has since burnt down. Built by Balthasar Kreischer, he found his fortune creating fireproof bricks. He created the identical mansions for his two sons, Charles and Edward. A year after it was finished, Balthasar died and the company business fell on tough times. Not soon after, Edward shot and killed himself following an argument with someone in the factory or some say, after arguing with his brother. 3. Franklin Castle Built in 1881, Franklin Castle served as the home of German immigrant, Hannes Tiedemann. After moving from Germany, Hannes became a successful grocer and banker and he amassed a large fortune. The home was built not just to house his family in Cleveland Ohio but also to accommodate immigrating relatives for the first few months of their arrival. Even before moving into the community, Hannes had gained a reputation in the community for being a "loud and harsh man." This demeanor caused many to speculate that the many mysterious deaths that happened within the castle had something to do with him. 2. The Whaley House History and folklore convene at San Diego's Whaley House. First built in 1855, many people say the house was destined to become haunted even before it was built. The land where it stands was once a graveyard. Subsequently, it was used for public executions including the public hanging of famous Yankee thief, Jim Robinson. However, this wouldn't stop Thomas Whaley from building his home on the property. Built as the first brick building in California, it featured Greek Revival architecture and completed with rosewood and mahogany furniture. 1. The Amityville House One of the most famous haunted houses in the US, the legacy of the Amityville horror has lived on for generations. While many criticize the story as a hoax, others believe there was something sinister in the home while the Lutz's lived there. So what really happened in Long Island, NY at 112 Ocean Avenue? It all began with the flies. Despite being the middle of December, plagues of flies would swarm the house as George and Kathy Lutz, along with their three kids, unpacked. Their new dream home, which they nicknamed "High Hopes" was the start of a new beginning for the family. The Dutch Colonial style home featured six bedrooms, a swimming pool and a boathouse since it was near a canal. The house had sat empty for nearly a year before the Lutzes purchased it for $80,000 –a bargain for a home of that style and size. But there was a good reason why. So those were the Top 5 Most Haunted Houses in America They say time heals all wounds but in the case of these houses, it seems the wounds and the entities living there refuse to heal and they certainly aren’t moving on anytime soon.
Going to see a horror movie can be frightening, but once the credits roll and its time to exit the theater, viewers can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that nothing they saw was real. It was all just a work of fiction that couldn't possibly be true right? Well as it turns out, many of the horror movies that still give you nightmares may actually have been based on real-life events. THE AMITYVILLE HORROR (1979) On November 13th, 1974, Robert DeFeo,Jr shot and killed six members of his family at 112 Ocean Avenue, a large Dutch Colonial house situated in a suburban neighborhood in Amityville, on the south shore of Long Island, New York.

Episode 41: The Amityville Horror Part III Jay and Noelle talk us through the Amityville controversies. This story contains: 1. Author Jay Anson never met the Lutzes. (He wrote his book off of 45 Hours of audio tape!) 2. In the late 1970s, Father Pecoraro stated in an affidavit that his only contact with the Lutzes concerning the matter had been by telephone. (Priests don’t lie!) 3. The owners who moved in just after the Luztes - Jim and Barbara Cromarty - say nothin’ happened. (Red Room was just tacky!) 4. In May 1977, George and Kathy Lutz filed a lawsuit - $4.5 million - against Hearst. (They lost!) 5. 20 days after the Lutz's fled, Marvin Scott - a news reporter with channel 5 NY - called in Ed and Lorraine Warren. (And, the Amityville Horror became famous forever.) Sweet Dreams XOXOZzzz.
It's the most famous haunting of all time on today's Last Podcast as we cover the accepted story of the 28 day haunting that the Lutzes experienced as portrayed in Jay Anson's The Amityville Horror and the mass murder that preceded it.
