In the 1970s, a large family home in Amityville, New York was the site of a grisly mass murder - a year later the hauntings began! This is the story of one of the most famous haunted houses in the world, and the 8th most voted for topic for Block 2024! Enjoy!

This is a comedy/history podcast, the report about the murders begins at approximately 07:56, the live section which includes the hauntings begins 25:46 (though as always, we go off on tangents throughout the report).
