      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.

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.

    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!

    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

      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.

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.

      @@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
