🏚️ On November 13, 1974, the peaceful town of Amityville, New York, awoke to the unimaginable—six family members found murdered inside their home on Ocean Avenue. A year later, another family moved in… and claimed they weren’t alone.Was it madness? Possession? Or something far older than both?

In this episode, Veil of Echoes descends into The Amityville Horror — a story where true crime bleeds into the paranormal, and the line between faith and fear vanishes. From the DeFeo murders to the haunting of the Lutz family, we unravel what really happened inside the house that watches.
