Sell out and move. Should be a good financial move. I bet you'll get a bargain price.

Awesome post! All of the background information was incredibly interesting. Thanks for taking the time to post all the pics and info on here!

The "hoof print" of the diabolic is found in that home with the multiple murders! It's in there works they speak loud and clear, not just the relatively rare outright manifestations some people experience! And these types of crimes happen much more than we realize!

As a long-time Amityville resident and HS graduate (just down the street from the house), I love that this post shows what REALLY happened and not the BS Hollywood ghost story made up by Lutz to make a quick buck (although, truly, it's a genius move. Next time you hear about a family massacre somewhere you should buy the house IMMEDIATELY and then tell people about all the "paranormal" stuff you experienced)

Everyone who lives in or around Amityville, especially from around that time, knows it's just a case of a drug-addict loser who killed his family because he was going to get cut off. There were no ghosts or goblins or demons or anything like that.

But, growing up and living in Amityville, I'll say it was always entertaining to know the moment you told somewhere where you were from their eyes would go wide "Amityville?? The Horror House?? Is it true??" And often I'd tell wild tales about seeing things myself, or hearing weird noises on the anniversary of the murders. I mean, that's what everyone wants to hear anyways...

Growing up in Amityville and Long Island gives rise to a number of "paranormal" stories, and always entertaining when you're young. Sweet Hollow Road. Mt. Misery Road. Mary's Grave. etc...

But the Amityville Horror House is a made-up Hollywood myth. Simple as that.

As for the "ghost boy" in the photo. . . it's been proven it was one of the researchers who peaked into the room when the photo was taken.

Sorry to disappoint. No ghosts here.

I wonder what they'll do with Defeo's remains. I can't imagine that they'd bury him with the family he killed.

At least he didn't sing One Sweet Day at the funeral, like Sef Gonzales did after he murdered his family.

I live literally minutes from the home. I know a few people that actually remember the family real well. The attic windows are gone unfortunately and the address number of the home has been changed.
