It’s the most famous “haunted house” in America—112 Ocean Avenue in Amityville, New York. This episode traces the home’s full arc: its 1920s Dutch Colonial beginnings, the 1974 DeFeo family murders, the Lutz family’s 28 days and the claims that fueled The Amityville Horror, and what became of the property after the cameras left. Along the way, we separate verified facts from contested anecdotes, look closely at why the house’s architecture and timing amplified the legend, and explore how one address slipped from true crime into global folklore.
