EP208: The Amityville Horror: Death. Demons. Deception.

The infamous Amityville Horror House is the site of six brutal murders, alleged demonic hauntings, and one of the most controversial paranormal mysteries in American history. In November 1974, 23-year-old Ronald DeFeo Jr. slaughtered his parents and four younger siblings as they slept inside their family home at 112 Ocean Avenue in Amityville, New York. Just over a year later, George and Kathy Lutz moved into the same house with their three children, only to claim they'd entered a living nightmare. Mysterious voices, unexplained physical attacks, and an unseen presence that seemed determined to drive them out. Their terrifying account would inspire The Amityville Horror, one of the most famous and fiercely disputed haunting stories of all time. But was the house genuinely plagued by something supernatural, or was the entire ordeal an elaborate hoax? From the gruesome DeFeo family annihilation to the Lutz family's increasingly spooky claims, we're diving into EVERYTHING. Happy Halloween! FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE wherever you are listening!
