CHILLING FACTS ABOUT THE REAL ‘AMITYVILLE HOUSE’
It’s impossible to speak about the alleged haunted house without talking about the murder, and vice versa. Take a look at some of the creepiest aspects of both.
The very mention of 112 Ocean Avenue in Amityville, Long Island, would give anybody chills. You may be familiar with the demonic pig and swarming flies; keep scrolling for weirder facts about the “Amityville House” that Hollywood didn’t tell you.
The story goes that on November 13, 1974, Ronald DeFeo Jr., methodically walked into each bedroom of the Amityville house and killed his family using a Marlin rifle.
His parents, two brothers, and two sisters were all found in the exact same position: laying on their stomachs in their beds.
DeFeo claimed that voices told him to kill his family, though he changed his story many times over. He is currently serving six consecutive life sentences.
According to the first chapter in a book written by Anson, Defeos’ furniture came with the home when the Lutzes bought it. Apart from the $80,000 offer, they paid an additional price of $400. As per some reports, the furniture was in the exact same position as the night of the murders.
There could have been a second murderer at the Amityville House who never was caught.
