Whether haunted or not, there is a question for every one of the home's owners. How can you comfortably sleep in a room knowing that someone was brutally murdered in there. It's kind of creepy.
@@Young_Dab Ok but it's not like we have any other planet that we can choose to live on right now. At least with a house, you can choose whether to live there or not...
Thats long island for ya bby. House across the street from my parents hadnt been updated since the 70s and they were heaaaaavvy chain smokers. House still sold for 400k
I've known about this case for ages, but I always thought that the guy had passed away at some point. The fact that he's still alive is definitely chilling.
Probably that and obnoxious people. Being that not a single other owner, after the Lutz's, had ever experienced anything beyond obnoxious kids ding-dong-ditching and randos taking photos. On top of that, their [the Lutz's] story of what happened has fallen apart over the years and the son flat out said he made up a bunch of it because his parents told him to. They bought a house they couldn't afford and used its history to concoct a scheme to get out of it. It didn't end up working the way they wanted it to - banks don't just let you off the hook for hauntings - but they have made a good deal in royalties.
@@Amarianee The property tax thing is a good theory. The Lutzes got the house, but didn't think about all the taxes they were going to be hit with every year. The mortgage + the taxes were prolly a no-go for a simple surveyor to afford.
@@the_gilded_age_phoenix8717 Yep. I agree, sorry if it sounded like I didn't - I just tend to get a little ranty with this case. A simple, "I agree," would have sufficed lol. There are just so many other allegedly haunted homes/places out there that have MUCH better stories that haven't been debunked all to hell. Don't even get me started on the freaking Warrens. Instead, there's videos like this, keeping the myth alive and using the real gruesome murder for entertainment shock value, instead of trying to put it all to rest.
@@Amarianee Frankly, I don't believe in the paranormal. In the Northeast (NY, CT, RI, MA) this stuff's a big industry. I guess because, up there, the cost of living is so high that regular people have to devise elaborate schemes to live a comfortable lifestyle...without having to work themselves to death. These folks don't care about the murder victims, they just care about crafting something that'll give them a cushy lifestyle.
Hell until the 90s a married father of 3 could support the whole family and pay for a pretty nice house in a great neighborhood just off his income. The wives rarely worked and if they did it was just supplemental income. 60K a year salary was enough to do all this, now a combined income of 100K barely buys a 1500 square foot house in a so so neighborhood.

@@americanwoman445 wait till you find out 1991 was actually 30 years ago 🤣 I know how that feels like, I sometimes think the 90s were 10 years ago too.
The most unbelievable part of this story is how they completely unpacked and were settled in within 28 days. I have lived in a house for over 5 years before I unpacked the last box. That part is completely supernatural.
I completely understand where you’re coming from I’ve been carrying the same box of knick knacks around for the year past 13 years through 7 different residences without ever even opening it
Here’s the thing. Whether the haunting was true or not. How can 6 people be shot and killed in the same house, all laying on their stomach (shot in back) no one got up and heard the gunshots from a .35 gauge Marlin? I find that the most craziest truth about this story.
Lol that’s not the clincher for me. I got a better one. Who buys a underpriced waterfront property and leaves it after 28 days. And keep in mind the 28 days was dec 15 to Jan 15 the most unlikely time anybody ever moves.

Speaking from someone who lives 5 minutes away from the home in the hamlet over, it's so weird. It looks like just a regular weird home. Doors are all on the side, looks like a barnhouse. I never got spooky vibes from it, despite people saying it's haunted. It does become a interesting location during Halloween though, people just stand outside the house like it's entertainment. It's in the richer neighborhood of the town, so a lot of people go there for the good candy, and to just take a peak at the house. tl;dr, from my personal, local experience, I don't think that house is haunted. It's a location for a terrible tragedy. Makes a good ghost story though!

This is crazy bro. My pops went to same High School as Ronald Defeo Jr back in the 70s. He told me he didn’t know him. Although he was a couple yrs older than my dad. My dad was like a freshman while he was a senior. But he seen him around the school. My dad told me he did do a lot of drugs.

That picture is creepy! It literally gives me the chills when I see it!! Its supposedly a demon in the form of the youngest Defao child who was murdered in the house...

@What is my name what is it like? I've been watching that house for a while now, i saw it was on sale and then someone bought it. Could you please tell me more about what's going on over there?
My aunt lives a few houses down from the house she was living in the same place when the murders happened and knew the family. I went to visit last week and I figured out she’s friends with the people who live there now. I was in the house, it was weird I felt a strange connection to it but that could just be because of being obsessed with true crime my whole life
There's never been any mystery for me with this story,once I actually understood the facts had nothing to with the movie..Butch was a junkie and he killed his entire family on his own,he harbored resentment for everyone except his mother,which is why he used the handgun instead of the rifle..He killed everyone because it was the only way to ensure he inherited everything..That residue found on the nightgown could've been due to contamination or improper storage..I think I read somewhere that there was a storm that night or high winds, something atmospheric was occuring which drowned out the sound of the shots, that's why the neighbors heard nothing but the dog and those in the house heard nothing as he moved floor to floor.. I don't believe that place was haunted,that family traumatized their children just to gain fame and fortune..That pic is a fake..This happened during the time when satanic panic was a thing and people simply wanted to believe that only demons can drive someone to do something so horrific but the reality is that greed and revenge,coupled with drug induced psychosis can drive anyone to do anything

@@UNSOLVABLE hey, person of the internet here. Self promo makes people not want to click on your stuff. Just say something underneath a comment that’s less noticeable.
@@sharonrigs7999 That's a good question, and in the book, 'High Hopes' by Gerard Sullivan ( the state attorney who convicted DeFeo ), the Amityville Police basically said they had no explanation. The house on the left ( North ) was empty, but the house on the right, with a driveway right beside the DeFeo's, was occupied by the Ireland family. In fact, I think someone in that house had a screen window open that warm November night, and no one heard anything. My best guess is somehow the DeFeo's dog barking somewhat masked the rifle report.
@@67marlins81 I seriously doubt any barking could cover up 6 shots of .35 Remington. .35 Rem uses relatively heavy projectiles that are shot well above the speed of sound. This creates the sharp sonic crack sound when a rifle is fired. If he was using a sub sonic pistol cartridge, that would be a different story
The killings don’t make sense, the Lutz leaving doesn’t make sense, and then the next owner changes the address? Sounds like one huge operation if you ask me.
Fact: Buch Defeo recently died in prison. He to the day he died changed his story several times. The most recent one he stuck to was that his sister Dawn killed the family, and he in grief and anger killed her.
I seem to remember reading that the wife, after the divorce, said that none of it was true and it was all made up. But, George kept on with it until he died, as far as I know, and at least one of the kids still does interviews saying it was all true, so who knows what really went on in that house. I don't think Ronald was hearing voices, though. I think he was just an awful person who killed his entire family after being angry with his father one last time and his mother for not standing up to his dad in his eyes and tried to cover it up and when he couldn't he tried for the insanity defense and it didn't work. He's where he belongs.

Think the majority of the Lutz children except for the oldest son spoke up like Kathy did and said the “haunting” was a complete hoax. And they had some nasty truths about George as well
@@LucyLioness100 Yeah. Also, I think the oldest son might have some stake in saying that it's real, since I think he gets interviews from it. I don't know if those are paid interviews or not, but I wouldn't be surprised. And if they're not, it still gets him attention and some small measure of fame.
@@LucyLioness100 Where? When did she or their children ever say it was a hoax publicly? Because I have been fascinated with this story for years and other than people claiming the family itself said it was a hoax, I have never seen any actual proof they said it. Everything I have seen says George and Kathy stood by their story that it was haunted until the day they died.
My sister had a teacher that grew up in the same neighbor as this family and knew them, and described the whole family as even more fucked up than what I read about or watched with regards to.
I have always believed there was more to this story than was told. How does one person kill that many people alone and no one else in the other bedrooms hear the gunshots and no neighbors hear gunshots? Makes absolutely no sense.
George Lutz did an interview with George Knapp which can be found on UA-cam. George explains what happened on the last night they were there. Also, George Lutz bought a lot of the DeFeo's furniture including the beds (bed frames) that the people were killed in-- creepy.
Isn’t it alleged the lutz and their solicitor sat down over a few bottles of wine and agreed to come up with a “haunted story” in order to have a book written and possible movie made? Apparently the lutz family screwed over the solicitor who then came forward telling them the story was completely made up.
(Patricia Cammaroto) who was friends with ''Allison DeFeo'', one of the kids that was murdered along with the rest of her family at ''112 Ocean Avenue'' in 1974. From the ABC television series (That's Incredible) 1980. Patricia Cammaroto:: I'm going to show you the mysterious ''Red Room'' that's so noted for in the book. This door, which they say was never here, was here, is here, always will be here I suppose. This is the Red Room. Nothing more than a storage area where Allison and her brothers and I used to keep toys. Just a red storage room you know? There was never any feeling of spirits, presence or Ghosts or any sort of thing like that. It was just a play area [where] we used to keep toys. Nothing more than that.
My mother knew the sister of one of the families who lived there. Her sons were going to a birthday party. Mother told them to not go across via frozen lake but to go around by road. They didn't listen and drowned. Next set of owners saw their ghosts on stairwell, sitting. They have had spirit investigators in there. This was on the Merv Griffin Show, confirming my Mom's story.
@@jeannebentsen2794 I'm sorry, were you referring to '112 Ocean Avenue''? Because that home has been owned by three different families since the Lutz family moved out. Including one who requested that the address be changed. And “none of them have reported anything out of the ordinary''.
The timeline is pretty compact: Nov. '74: multiple homicides take place in the house Dec. '75: the Lutz family moves in Jan. '76: the Lutz family flees Sept. '77: the book gets published Summer '79: the movie hits theaters across the nation
Bruhhh stop asking for Shane and Ryan, y’all do realize they have to do research about crimes and stuff right and with Rona they can’t go to haunted places
It has to be haunted, how does the family or the neighbors not hear the gunshots. I've live a few miles away from a military gun and artillery testing facility. I hear them firing guns all the time
@@AK. They did say that they planned on doing another Supernatural season, but they ca't due to the pandemic. They are also doing stuff on their shared channel; Watcher with Steven Lim (which I'm assuming you already know about)
A great many years ago, the lawyer for the Lutz family ' was a guest on a radio program and explained how the Lutz family concocted the "horror stories" behind the "haunting."
Who goes through the trouble of buying a house (an undervalue waterfront one) putting down a down payment and abandoning it less than 30 days later leaving their belongings behind?
I recall reading a short article in 1976 in a Washington, D.C. newspaper that the Vatican was sending someone to investigate a possibly possessed house in Amityville, NY.
i saw this in 1979 and it gave me nightmares my entire life. theres a well in the basement in the movie, that echos this haunting sound, and i heard that sound in my nightmares. i can still hear it... i can mimick it with ease. creeps me out to this day
I live in a home now and many bad things happen here and I blessed it every time we feel like they are amongst us I ask them to be calm as I can feel them
When the narrator said he wakes up daily at 3:15 a.m. I got chills down my spine cause from the past week I am waking up daily at about 3 a.m. and can't sleep afterwards and it's a sudden change cause usually I wake up at 5:30 daily to my alarm
I am also reading a book written partly by interview's with the(now adult) former step-sons of George Lutze and they say a lot of these things like doors ripping off their hinges and green slime on the walls never happened it was a hoax

This is crazy bro. My pops went to same High School as Ronald Defeo Jr back in the 70s. He told me he didn’t know him. Although he was a couple yrs older than my dad. My dad was like a freshman while he was a senior. But he seen him around the school. My dad told me he did do a lot of drugs.
Yep, doing drugs will open the door for demonic possession.
@@veltonmeade1057just about everything will do that
I love the narrators voice. He could read a children’s book to me and I’d be scared out of my wits!
make him read the hungriest caterpillar lol
His voice isn't anything special
I'm surprised he didn't mention that a body was found in the lake when they were filming on site at the house...
Wait what?
for real?

@@AthiraAminuddin yep it was during the filming for the 2005 remake.
the original door hinges were still on the doors in perfect condition, also no snowfall ever occurred for something to leave hoof prints in during the 28 days they stayed.
Don’t you love how there’s no ads. 🥰
Wow your right. Yes that better with no interuptions
Thnks to the ghost lol
Come to think of it
I still remember watching the original movie and i was scared shitless for days. This is one of the most scariest stories ever.
Well, like the film it is fake...apart from the nutjob shooting his family of course.
The movies never creeped me out, but reading the book when I was 9 kept me awake😂
Definitely.
In middle school I found the book in a box in the basement. I was scared shitless for a couple of days.
lmao.
How did NONE of the family hear the gunshots. We will never know.
Its not just the fact that non of the family didn't hear gunshots. It's also the fact that neither did the neighbors or anyone in general heard gunshots that day
That's what I'm trying to see and they were asleep in the middle of the night they must have slept real hard
ryan and shane started their own youtube channel named “watcher”
It sucks.
But not as bad as Buzzfeed Unsolved sucks without them.
@@thedude4672 i think they make great stuff, not every video is good tho.

bruh why are you on crime videos as well? You're haunting me.

Fun fact: Danny Phantom's city name is inspired by this case.
im sorry- WHAT
@@jumex-g4c Yeah, Danny Phantom's city is called Amity City.
The fact that they didn’t add in when Ed and Lorraine Warren actually went there to investigate the house and caught a boy by the stairs
That picture is creepy! It literally gives me the chills when I see it!!
Its supposedly a demon in the form of the youngest Defao child who was murdered in the house...
@@OrbitFallenAngel you may be right, it is still a mystery till this day and I feel like it’s a boy who can’t peace
@Joseph Turner actually no- after the lutz’s left Lorraine and Warren went over an investigated. They put up a camera by the stairs and caught the boy by the stairs
@@thinking_vro4189 It wasn't a little boy though. It was Paul Bartz who was there investigating the house at the time. He was sitting in a chair in the next room and leaned out to check on the camera when the photo was taken.
@@standepain even so, they caught a boy. A boy who wasnt at the investigation atm

@🌼miranda🌸 nothing... It's spam.
Just dislike and report.
That's hella cool
@What is my name
what is it like? I've been watching that house for a while now, i saw it was on sale and then someone bought it. Could you please tell me more about what's going on over there?
My aunt lives a few houses down from the house she was living in the same place when the murders happened and knew the family. I went to visit last week and I figured out she’s friends with the people who live there now. I was in the house, it was weird I felt a strange connection to it but that could just be because of being obsessed with true crime my whole life
You got to go inside the house? What was it like?
@arthur morgan its not
@arthur morgan call me a liar all you want it’s something i did if you don’t believe it then idc
Any reports of a red-eyed cartoon pig levitating in the area? Answers to the name of Jodi.
Well, what was it like?? I mean I believe you and I truly want to know more!! Please??
There's never been any mystery for me with this story,once I actually understood the facts had nothing to with the movie..Butch was a junkie and he killed his entire family on his own,he harbored resentment for everyone except his mother,which is why he used the handgun instead of the rifle..He killed everyone because it was the only way to ensure he inherited everything..That residue found on the nightgown could've been due to contamination or improper storage..I think I read somewhere that there was a storm that night or high winds, something atmospheric was occuring which drowned out the sound of the shots, that's why the neighbors heard nothing but the dog and those in the house heard nothing as he moved floor to floor..
I don't believe that place was haunted,that family traumatized their children just to gain fame and fortune..That pic is a fake..This happened during the time when satanic panic was a thing and people simply wanted to believe that only demons can drive someone to do something so horrific but the reality is that greed and revenge,coupled with drug induced psychosis can drive anyone to do anything
It’s not haunted now but it was
Well we all will find out when we pass over, because lm terrified of Jesus.
Amen
I love that the "other voice" is just the guys voice sped up...

@@UNSOLVABLE hey, person of the internet here. Self promo makes people not want to click on your stuff. Just say something underneath a comment that’s less noticeable.

I live super close to this place. My old science teacher was best friends with one of the younger brothers
"the rifle had no scilencer"
buzzfeed: shows 12 gauge shotgun
I understand you just like nobody did
I don't understand how no one heard 6 rounds of .35 Remington being fired?
Thats a loud cartridge
I was waiting for this... I'm no gun expert but I cringed when the narrator kept talking about a rifle but the video showed a shotgun.
@@sharonrigs7999 That's a good question, and in the book, 'High Hopes' by Gerard Sullivan ( the state attorney who convicted DeFeo ), the Amityville Police basically said they had no explanation.
The house on the left ( North ) was empty, but the house on the right, with a driveway right beside the DeFeo's, was occupied by the Ireland family. In fact, I think someone in that house had a screen window open that warm November night, and no one heard anything.
My best guess is somehow the DeFeo's dog barking somewhat masked the rifle report.
@@67marlins81 I seriously doubt any barking could cover up 6 shots of .35 Remington. .35 Rem uses relatively heavy projectiles that are shot well above the speed of sound. This creates the sharp sonic crack sound when a rifle is fired. If he was using a sub sonic pistol cartridge, that would be a different story
really miss ryan and shane doing buzzfeed unsolved, it'll never be the same, but i'm happy for them. support watcher! and still watch unsolved videos.
The killings don’t make sense, the Lutz leaving doesn’t make sense, and then the next owner changes the address? Sounds like one huge operation if you ask me.
As a skeptic who’s had multiple experiences that might be “supernatural”, I want to check out this house
No
Yes
No
Can I join? lol
Please do not harass the current owners, who had nothing to do with this nonsense, and have never experienced anything supernatural.
My mom still to this day refuses to live in a house with a basement because of this story.

Fact: Buch Defeo recently died in prison. He to the day he died changed his story several times. The most recent one he stuck to was that his sister Dawn killed the family, and he in grief and anger killed her.
That's what all psychopath do
I heard once she was in on it with him. Though Im not sure I believe it.
@@carmenross7063 Dawn Defoe had unburnt hun powder on her night dress.
Murders lie so you can't trust them.
I seem to remember reading that the wife, after the divorce, said that none of it was true and it was all made up. But, George kept on with it until he died, as far as I know, and at least one of the kids still does interviews saying it was all true, so who knows what really went on in that house. I don't think Ronald was hearing voices, though. I think he was just an awful person who killed his entire family after being angry with his father one last time and his mother for not standing up to his dad in his eyes and tried to cover it up and when he couldn't he tried for the insanity defense and it didn't work. He's where he belongs.

Think the majority of the Lutz children except for the oldest son spoke up like Kathy did and said the “haunting” was a complete hoax. And they had some nasty truths about George as well
@@LucyLioness100 Yeah. Also, I think the oldest son might have some stake in saying that it's real, since I think he gets interviews from it. I don't know if those are paid interviews or not, but I wouldn't be surprised. And if they're not, it still gets him attention and some small measure of fame.
@@LucyLioness100 Where? When did she or their children ever say it was a hoax publicly? Because I have been fascinated with this story for years and other than people claiming the family itself said it was a hoax, I have never seen any actual proof they said it. Everything I have seen says George and Kathy stood by their story that it was haunted until the day they died.
Missy claims it was true about "Jodi".
12:27 that scene honestly sent chills down my spine😟
My sister had a teacher that grew up in the same neighbor as this family and knew them, and described the whole family as even more fucked up than what I read about or watched with regards to.
Remember the father was abusive that could be the reason for the family members being weird....
I dated a Sicilian and she told me that if you were never beat by your father, it is very rare with Italian and Sicilian fathers.
I would just like to say, I appreciate this extra content. It's interesting and it creeped me out lol

@@klevino1179 He passed away
@@alexvazquez2871 no i got that but how
@@klevino1179 google it up buttmunch
It’s really sad that this happened
I’m big stressed right now and this makes me feel a lil better lol
So no ones gonna talk about Ed and Lorraine Warrens involvement?
Why? They were fakers
I have always believed there was more to this story than was told. How does one person kill that many people alone and no one else in the other bedrooms hear the gunshots and no neighbors hear gunshots? Makes absolutely no sense.
IVE BEEN ON THIS CASE FOR TWO YEARS AND FINALLY THEY MADE A VIDEO ABOUT THIS
George Lutz did an interview with George Knapp which can be found on UA-cam. George explains what happened on the last night they were there. Also, George Lutz bought a lot of the DeFeo's furniture including the beds (bed frames) that the people were killed in-- creepy.
I love Coast to Coast.
George Lutz was into the occult.
I want all videos to be like this! I'm so cozy, I cannot keep my eyes open. Loving it!
Imagine being a producer or creator behind a video like this and only seeing 'Where are Shane and Ryan?' comments. Must feel great.
says 'rifle' several times
shows clips of shotguns every time...
We get it, you hunt
Buzzfeed what did you expect.
No one can say he didn’t hear those voices we aren’t in the guys head 😂
Isn’t it alleged the lutz and their solicitor sat down over a few bottles of wine and agreed to come up with a “haunted story” in order to have a book written and possible movie made? Apparently the lutz family screwed over the solicitor who then came forward telling them the story was completely made up.
The son insists its made up as well and the parents did it for money
It’s not like they were Stephen king. I’ve known people that wrote books that never sold anywhere. Who buys a house and only lives in it for 28 days
I watched this yesterday. Suffice it to say, I took a day off work to catch up on sleep
I like the original movie's line "Houses don't have memories." Interesting!
Finally you talk about this. Nice to see some Long Island representation. Who else is from NY?
I live in Freeport!!
I love spoilers! This story has always been my favorite I’m so glad you made this
Living in Amityville near that house was my biggest flex in middleschool
have you ever felt or seen something?
i live close by (neighboring town) and i do flex on it too lol
@@morklee8771 yea dude casper was there
You used to be able to see this house on Google Maps, 110 Ocean Ave. Now it's blurred out. :x
All the famous houses are blurred. The Simpson house in Henderson nv is blurred too
Yup. A lot of houses in Calabasas CA are blurred too 😂😂😂😂
(Patricia Cammaroto) who was friends with ''Allison DeFeo'', one of the kids that was murdered along with the rest of her family at ''112 Ocean Avenue'' in 1974. From the ABC television series (That's Incredible) 1980.
Patricia Cammaroto:: I'm going to show you the mysterious ''Red Room'' that's so noted for in the book. This door, which they say was never here, was here, is here, always will be here I suppose. This is the Red Room. Nothing more than a storage area where Allison and her brothers and I used to keep toys. Just a red storage room you know? There was never any feeling of spirits, presence or Ghosts or any sort of thing like that. It was just a play area [where] we used to keep toys. Nothing more than that.
My mother knew the sister of one of the families who lived there. Her sons were going to a birthday party. Mother told them to not go across via frozen lake but to go around by road. They didn't listen and drowned. Next set of owners saw their ghosts on stairwell, sitting. They have had spirit investigators in there. This was on the Merv Griffin Show, confirming my Mom's story.
@@jeannebentsen2794 I'm sorry, were you referring to '112 Ocean Avenue''? Because that home has been owned by three different families since the Lutz family moved out. Including one who requested that the address be changed. And “none of them have reported anything out of the ordinary''.
The timeline is pretty compact:
Nov. '74: multiple homicides take place in the house
Dec. '75: the Lutz family moves in
Jan. '76: the Lutz family flees
Sept. '77: the book gets published
Summer '79: the movie hits theaters across the nation
It’s crazy how I live 25 minutes away from this house and saw it today 😳
Really,exist ghost there?
Bruhhh stop asking for Shane and Ryan, y’all do realize they have to do research about crimes and stuff right and with Rona they can’t go to haunted places
It has to be haunted, how does the family or the neighbors not hear the gunshots. I've live a few miles away from a military gun and artillery testing facility. I hear them firing guns all the time
“This house is double your budget and 6 people were killed here.”
“We’ll take it!”
The narrator's voice is perfect
This has inspired me to write a paper about once evil happens somewhere, does the evil still remain?
"What happened to Ryan and Shane?"
- people who apparently don't know covid is happening
As if they just live on set
Nothing to do with COVID...They left Buzzfeed.
@@AK. They did say that they planned on doing another Supernatural season, but they ca't due to the pandemic. They are also doing stuff on their shared channel; Watcher with Steven Lim (which I'm assuming you already know about)
They've been missing way before covid. 🙄
@Mike Willett You say that like people who are under 55 with little to no health problems haven't gotten sick from the virus.
I'm addicted to buzzfeed unsolved network 😘😘
ok i don't usually get scared that much but the voice is perfect for the telling of horror storys
everytime i heard “Amityville” it gave me goosebumps.
A great many years ago, the lawyer for the Lutz family ' was a guest on a radio program and explained how the Lutz family concocted the "horror stories" behind the "haunting."
Who goes through the trouble of buying a house (an undervalue waterfront one) putting down a down payment and abandoning it less than 30 days later leaving their belongings behind?
@@BrianSmith-yq7ysi could see someone doing that as a tiktok prank ngl
I recall reading a short article in 1976 in a Washington, D.C. newspaper that the Vatican was sending someone to investigate a possibly possessed house in Amityville, NY.
i saw this in 1979 and it gave me nightmares my entire life. theres a well in the basement in the movie, that echos this haunting sound, and i heard that sound in my nightmares. i can still hear it... i can mimick it with ease. creeps me out to this day
Thank you buzzfeed ❤
What's scary is the inflation at the end. The home went for 80 in 1970s and now it's a milli 🤧
Lol so true
The disappearance of Shane and Ryan remains: unsolved

I don’t think he was posessed, he was just messed by drugs.
When the narrator said he wakes up daily at 3:15 a.m. I got chills down my spine cause from the past week I am waking up daily at about 3 a.m. and can't sleep afterwards and it's a sudden change cause usually I wake up at 5:30 daily to my alarm
I am also reading a book written partly by interview's with the(now adult) former step-sons of George Lutze and they say a lot of these things like doors ripping off their hinges and green slime on the walls never happened it was a hoax
This guys voice is perfection
They should turn that property in to a cute haunted bed and breakfast 😍
I love your series can you cover the chilling story about Luka magnotta and how the Internet could have saved the life of Jun Lin?
