Horror vs Hollywood: What is the Real Amityville Horror Story?

Listen Later

We've all heard some story that is associated with the house in Amityville. A couple with three kids moves in and moves out within the same month due to paranormal activity, but what happened before George and Kathy Lutz moved in? The DeFeo family suffered a tragic end when the eldest son shot all his siblings and his parents in the middle of the night. Did an evil spirit really make him a murderer? On today's episode, we discuss the history of the house, and what caused Ronald DeFeo Jr. to kill his family.
