- Experience the spine-chilling tale of George and Kathy Lutz and their three children, who fled their haunted home at 112 Ocean Avenue in Amityville, New York in just under four weeks. Their escape will leave you questioning reality - "Real or Fake"?
I like this. No hysteria, just matter of fact recounting.
Yeah, and no eerie-sounding music, no drama, no sensationalization, just a soft piano behind George Lutz's narration.
It's not really 'a matter of fact' is it? George Lutz sounds like a nice guy but his 'story' is nothing more than a very religious man who has a very active imagination. I think he bought the house, regretted it and needed to get his family away. I've always been fascinated by haunted houses but they are only spooky stories, nothing more.
tom spud interesting take. I’m half and half with the belief, but yes, it’s definitely a fun spooky story regardless.
@@AaronWonderland Yes I agree with you too. I believe that he did indeed think the place was haunted but upon living there for a few weeks it turned out that neither he nor his family could settle down. The regret he had was that he thought that he and his family would be comfortable but it didn't go well for them. He knew he'd never get the money back for the house and when an opportunity arose to make money out of his story, naturally, he took it. I don't believe that he went and bought the house with that in his mind because he sounds like too nice a guy and his family look decent enough too. I do believe that in order to make a more interesting story he has chosen to embellish certain parts of it. Baring in mind, there's absolutely no video footage and no pictures of any of the phenomenon that he described. In the year 2020, no pictures or video footage of such phenomenon still exists. All we ever have is poorly rendered, blurry, dark and speculative footage. The reason for this, given the fact that literally half of the worlds population now owns a mobile phone (over 3 billion!) and we still don't have a clear picture of such phenomenon is simply because that it doesn't exist. When Mr. Lutz also starts to talk about how someone levitated 2 feet of the floor and he believes in Astral projection, it kind of tells you everything that you need to know about his mind set.
Lol how stupid must you be, to believe this narcissist.
The sheer fact that anyone would bother to go through the process of buying & moving & unpacking, only to run 4 weeks later because they were terrified is enough for me to believe some truly f’d up things were going down. He also sounds so sincere in his telling. What a horrific experience that must have been.
It was a high profiles murder and at that time they knew this would be a huge story. The lawyer admitted he made 99 percent of it up. The “pig eyes” they saw was neighbors car. I believe in ghosts and spirits but this case.... idk
*Do a little Googling and read the actual story of what happened between the Lutz's, the author of the Amityville Horror Book, The Lawyers & the Movie Producers that sold this story. The Court that eventually heard the Lutz's Law Suit and threw it out of Court.....Spoiler Alert..They made it all up*
He is an inveterate liar. He and his wife were Ron jr's drug buddies and were hired by DeFeo's mobbed up lawyer to cover up a Genovese family hit on family associate Ron Sr., who had recently stolen 400k from the 1.6 million the mob had buried in his basement. That is 400k in 1970s dollars. There was also a contract out on Ron Jr., but he opted to take the fall for the murders.
It wasn’t their furniture. It was left over from the DeFeo’s.
@@origin-al9585 the lawyer ay have been given his opinion and that based possibly on his own dislike of Lurz and just not believing in the supernatural.
The 70s best decade of horror the exorcist still scares the shit out of me
Me too.
Why cuss, especially at your age old gal.
@Stanley Jedrzejczyk the sentinel is absolutely terrifying!
check out Roland doe the inspiration for the movie the exorcist
Me too
Is this really his voice? I've always thought the whole thing was made up.... BUT I can't help but hear a genuine story in this voice.
Andrew Baker yes that was George Lutz. I’m wondering when this was recorded though.
Yes, it is George Lutz, personally, I believe they experienced something but I believe it was exaggerated to some degree. Like it was something frightening in the moment, that held no explanation, but it wasn't something that was full-blown Excorcist territory.
The modern-day equivalent being, you hear and feel your cell phone vibrating in your pocket, but it didn't go off.
@Andrew Baker
Andrew I agree with you!
Something must have happened to just get up and leave. Not even going back for your stuff.
There's a sad sincererity to what he's saying and I believe him.
Same here.
It's the background music. 🎶
I believe him too ..
@@kerrajohnson3203 yes ma'am it is look into the lawsuit the judge even called them fraudulent liars.
Me too. I always have
did anyone else get major goosebumps when it showed the little boy in the picture? my goodness.
It freaked me out
Yesss! Made my heart race!
That isJody !
@@katzrkool77 mooseheads freak me out
Jody wears glasses?
Read the book The Amityville Horror back in the late 1970's and believed the Lutz' story then. I still believe
them over 40 years later.
That book was a real page turner! Great to see this on youtube!
Dont. It was a scam. My father's been in that house. Spoke at length to the current owners. They said it was an insurance scam. George Lutz is a known liar and scammer.

Even that story is a stretch according to the trustworthy sources who have nothing to gain by telling tales about this nondescript, normal, quiet Colonial house. Yes, it was the site of 6 horrific murders, but it's never been the ridiculously haunted house - seriously, paranormal pigs named Jody with red eyes??? LOL - of the books and movies. That was all a scheme of the Lutzes.

I believe the Lutz family.that place I evil.
evil and demons r real...and I believe that house was filled with evil
i also read the book ...and during the day I was scared to death...
When I was in college, Mr Lutz came in and did a talk about the house. Having grown up in a haunted house myself, he came across very sincere. One of my college friends was also friends with the girlfriend of DeFaio and as a result, knew him as well. She also went to the talk. According to her, he started acting very strange and not at all like himself a few weeks before the murders. She said he wasturning into a totally different person. The girlfriend broke up with him at that point because he had changed so . My college friend also thought Lutz was credible with the story, and believed something was definitely wrong with the house.
I was friends with a daughter of the family (about 1981) who bought it after the Lutzs moved out and nothing at all ever happened in that house. All these years, nothing.
@@nista4ever Because it's not haunted. Just a guy who went crazy and killed his family. It's happened plenty times before.
This does not mean that 'Nothing' happened when the Lutz family lived there. If it was an intelligent, malevolent entity, it might have decided to 'move on' after all the investigation(s) to avoid detection and 'Exorcism' and may return under the right conditions.
Thank you Kim. Great info...inside track. I believe
@@nista4ever Inn June 6 1944 in Normandy, France a 1/4 million men landed on breach invading France. On June 6, 1945, and thereafter there was no invasion, people bathe there. So you assume ghosts are like roaches or mice? They contaminate a house or some other space and just infect it indefinitely until the world ends or Terminus aka Ghostbusters show up.
Wow! If you know that much about ghosts you are a genius.
Sadness in your voice I know what it’s like to live though something like that, and some people believe and most don’t, so I just stop talking about it, lost my wife though, everything that happened, but happy married now, but had a brilliant relationship with my 3 sons, God bless you all x
Trust and believe that house was holding onto a lot of bad mojo....
@Lebo leigh Leigh If you can't search this you're dumb buddy it's another word for energy some people use it as terms like bad luck or good luck.
@Lebo leigh Leigh Also it's a spiritual term.
Here's the way I heard the follow-up story from people who knew: In the late 1970's my former college roommate told me something (and obvious?) about the "Amityville" House. His parents lived in the neighboring town of Bellmore, Long Island, and had a neighbor lady...the neighbor lady's sister was the wife of the next owner, James Cromarty, who lived in the house from 1977 to 1987. WHATEVER happened in that house years before with the DeFeo family: THE HOUSE WAS NOT HAUNTED in any way shape, or form! The real problem, the new owners said, were the thieves and morons who daily and illegally crawled all over the property, doing damage and invading their privacy. They insisted this whole "haunting" by Jay Anson and the Lutz's was a made up bullcrap story to make money off it in books & movies. The street name (Ocean Avenue), and the street address numbers were changed years ago to keep residents anonymous and the curious away. Yes, I saw the house from the outside many years ago. Thanks.
I love this Jason. Thank you for posting this! I hope you are having good day!! 👻👻👻
The "terrifying night" is just the day both the first mortgage payment bill and property tax bill arrived in the mail together and they said WTF!
Unfortunately the house wasn’t haunted and people who owned it said it wasn’t haunted. The murderer said it was all lies
All George had to do was get the photo of "Jodi" authenticated! But the photo never was/will be authenticated because then it would be "Ghost Story, Over!"
They needed Jody to sign a release form in order for it to get authenticated. Jody always felt the compensation for doing that wasn't worth it.
@@adamsilvia3872 - Yeah, I heard Jody's pretty well-to-do....and a bit of a pain in the ass at times. Oh, well...
When I lived on the island a coworker told me a story of how he and a friend drove up to the house on halloween and the car stalled and wouldn’t start until they pushed it away from the house then it started right up?
So, the ONLY thing that bothers me about this is that he said the people who lived there AFTER them had a much worse experience...I thought the family that moved in after went out of their way to say that there was NO activity in the house, and that they believed the whole thing was a hoax...I always thought maybe they were lying to avoid the media and attention, but not sure if that's the case or not. Either way, I just found it odd of George to say such a thing when there are various reports from that following family, saying that the house was not haunted.
There was nothing after they left. He lies. I know this for a fact. I grew up there.
I heard that before
The people who moved there after the Lutz' were the Cromarty's. They did have a much worse experience, but not supernatural, their son died of cancer, although I think he died in hospital. It may have been what George was referring to. It is possible that attaching entities can cause ethereal disturbance that can affect us on a physical level, but of course debatable as to whether it could cause cancer.
The little boy died in the river, that's the first thought that came to mind.
The tragic event that took place in this house in 1974 is a fact. We know that Butch Defeo murdered his entire family on the night of November 13th, 1974, forty four years ago yesterday. We know that the house sat empty from November 14th 1974 until December 18th 1975, the day the Lutz family moved in. What none of us know is exactly what happened over the next 28 days leading up to the Lutz family fleeing the house (with next to nothing) in the early morning of January 14th, 1976. Now that George and Kathy are both deceased, only speculation and reasonable investigation of known facts are left to us.
Personally, I find it hard to believe that George and Kathy would go to such extreme lengths to pull off some sort of "scam" when they had NO idea if anyone would be interested in their story, much less an author write a blockbuster book that would be followed by a blockbuster movie. That is just way to much of a stupid risk to take with your entire future and the future of your kids. George and Kathy did not seem (to me anyway) to be bizarre or abnormal people. Perhaps they were just sensitive to forces most of us will never experience or understand. Whatever it was seems to have left the house when they did as the subsequent owners report no strange going ons.
The house has been totally renovated and is nothing like it was back in the 1970s, the pool is gone, there is a new addition on the river side of the house and the entire interior has been redone top to bottom and it is quite lavish and beautiful. I have to say that I would be a bit nervous to go into the house by myself even in its current state and so many years after the fact.
I found this video to be very interesting and with so many photos I had not seen before of the interior. George's narration seemed very believable to me, he did not seem like a nut job or publicity hound, he seemed very tired and sad about the whole thing. Even with whatever money they received for their story, it could not have been enough to make up for the years of horrible accusations and publicity they endured and their kids endured. Their son's documentary is really sad, he seems very troubled and is certainly not living life on easy street.
Thank you for posting this, a great new perspective on the case.
Frustrating that we will never get closure, with most of the players involved long passed. Only three witnesses remain: Danny, Chris and Melissa
If someone dies in a house especially a violent one the souls will be trapped ,also if their isn't a open window their soul cant be free and leave when they die they will be stuck in the house for eternity and they won't know they have died.
They went through the biggest scam that book and film have ever seen.
Watching this in the bath... then someone rang my doorbell... I literally jumped!
Not sure if I believe all this, but it definitely scared me lol!
There is something behind you......😰😬😱😱
He is hiding underneath your bed tonight, lol. Better look!

Wasn't 'Shelly' from Friday the 13th George Lutz's attorney? Pretty sure, weird huh???
I always thought that house was absolutely stunning.
Me too, the house is abosolutly beautiful, except that the house is built on a Indian barial ground, which explains the evil in that house
@@2DLUVSME well, that's what they say but there was also a rumor that the house was used in summoning Darkness. We will never know for sure.
Although i have never really seen indigenous burial grouds so close to water but i know water is very important for some ancient religions. We will never know, but id give anything to walk inside.
@@HeavenLeeMadeOnEtsy really!? U would really walk through that house? If I visited I would be scared that an entity would attached itself to me ..
@@2DLUVSME well, I didn't say I'd do it at night. lol
Yes! The last time it was sold I looked at it on zillow. The new owners made updates and it looks nothing like it did in the 70s.
It was a 35 caliber rifle not 36,ive shot 35s and its a big gun.how nobody in the house heard it is very strange.the muzzle flash would be seen outside the house if the lights in the house were off.a 36 is a muzzle loader.
That bothers me too. I’m also puzzled how all family members were face down.
There was more than one guy there was also a handgun and it also involved Butch his two friends and his sister Dawn All these people all took part in the murders The only thing nobody wants to admit is that Butch killed his sister after she killed the little kids and there's actual evidence to this but no one wants to admit the truth especially because there's no way somebody could take out six people in a house by themselves without anybody actually knowing it's going on and without people actually moving and getting out the house and the way they were on the beds also all of them laying on their stomachs on their beds yeah highly impossible So yeah most people don't realize but there's way more to the story In fact the murders had nothing to do with what they were said to do with It has to do with Mafia stuff and if you do your research you'll find this out
I think it is so funny when Christians or believers say they don't believe in ghosts. So I respond with, "Oh so you don't believe in God?" "Yes! I do believe in God and Jesus as my Savior!" "So what part of Holy Ghost, Holy Spirit do you not believe in?"
The truth is a guy named Ronnie on drugs took a 30 marlen rifle and killed his intire family. They were all asleep. It happened around 1.00am.
He killed his mouther,dad, sister, and 3 other kids. His intire family killed for nothing.
what year was this recorded?
Wonder what the backstory is on the house itself. What happened there before the DeFeo’s and the Lutz’s lived there🤔
Lupus Butterfly Not a thing, is my guess.
Everything that needed to happen happened with the murders , whether or not something was in the house before the murders who knows
There is rumour that this house is build on indian burial.
Why did you donate ANYTHING from that house
he had nothing to donate only the food in the freezer about $40 that was it
I’m not sure how to feel with this background music 🤔
The background music is distracting. It's meant to play with your emotions.
I think it would be haunted. Either with actual ghostly phenomena or residue energy. I would never want to live in a house with that much trauma.
I really enjoyed you telling what happened to you and your family. Loved the pics. I must missed something why leave everything, when you had other people come and take of all the stuff left behind.
I already lived in2 strange places and one of them i got totally paralized in the bed for 3 minuts and my daughter start to develop something the doctor said was a start of seizure and believe or not lights would go off explode and the next day was all normal i felt this person running across the living room but was so fast that i sought was my imagination. by that time my daughter would see a couple waiting for her outside the church in the gas station. sometimes just passing by other times riding from her in the back of tree. the man had a black hoodie and the woman a red one, huge nails. we stop to pay the mortgage and move. sorry about spell english is not my first language. this happened in Waterbury CT. about the seizure may daughter never developed even the doctor could not explain, he said she would get worse and worse. she is eighteen in college and just fine. thank God
I was born and rasied in waterbury ct
Thanks for uploading this! Hoax or not, I really enjoyed it! What I never did get was, why did they feel the need to blow up the house in the movie, yet it still stands.
This movie and The Shinning definitely my 2 all tim favs! No disrespect to the family, considering the possibility that it could be true.
I wasn't there...I was only an infant.
I'm in total aw of The Warren's! They're LEGENDS!!! [even if expired] They work still lives.
Back to the movie/topic, it wouldn't not have taken us 28 days to move out.
While house hunting 6 years ago, there wasn't very many houses on the market within our budget. We didn't want to over spend even though our Realtor wanted us to. Well, it was either the house that smelled like death. The house that literally was built on a cliff. The house in the gated community, which comes with an HOA. Or a 2 bedroom condo. Needless to say, how tempting the house that smelled like death is, we passed on that one the same day. I couldn't get past the smell. She was like it's 30K less than you wanted to spend! L🐶dy, no! The condo was outta the question for obvious reasons. We live in wqarthqua country, so the house on the side of the cliff, also a no. So we just settled for the HOA house in the gated community. Definitely not bragging. Just saying...I don't care, if anything strange or dangerous like they were going through started to happen, especially that scene where the money was gone.
We're gone! Definitely not waiting for anyone's approval or anyone to bless the house.
(((GET OUT))))
Yes, ma'am, sir & or demon....I just need to get my cats and a few things then I'm good.🐈🐱🐈🚙
PS. It's always said to hear that the couples break up! For whatever reason! Also said to hear that she expired. He still spoke very nice and respectful of her.
It was stated many times by George and others that the events in the book and film were 'Dramatized' (embellished) to help it sell. And some elements were left out or changed. I think all of the 'Bad Press' afterward was a cover up to keep property values from going down and keep people from turning the house into a carnival attraction.
I don't believe a word of what the Lutzes claim but it's a great yarn and still creeps me out 40 years later
I know that I would never live in a house where people were murder. Its just to dam horrifying! No Way!!
I saw the original movie when I was 8. I had nightmares for years.
@Hank Bridges it depends on what state you live in. In CA you must disclose that info to the buyer.
@Hank Bridges It doesn't matter to me. You said real-estate companies legally don't have to tell if someone passed away in the home basically. I was just stating in CA you do have to disclose that.
@Hank Bridges You know that's a good question. I wonder if the real estate companies are required to do research. I know one thing for sure, CA is a bat shit crazy state. :) My wife and I want to move out of this shit hole. Was thinking of Texas.
the basic story was supposedly true but not how it happened in the movie.. when i was little i used to think it could have been... but i think if there was anything there it could have had an effect on the defeos who were there before the lutz's... the defeos were always fighting and drinking and abuses going on.. thats the kind of thing that demons would have happening to try to break apart a family.. but i am not sure if ronald defeo actually heard voices or not but its possible he might have.. in an interview he had i think it was that his attorney wanted him to plead crazy to try to help his case and to say that he heard demons tell him to do it which would make sense but it still could have had an evil presence that had something to do with it.. but then william webber he was the lutzs attorney went to visit the lyzs and wanted them to make a book deal out of it that is the story that was told
They came up with this stuff because they couldn't make the mortgage payment
i do believe every seconds the family tell the story . simply because similiar case happened to our family back in 1972 .
Seems a lot of these things happened in the 70s.
What's with the little head on the Moose horn? Is that a "demon"?
a
I would like to be able to buy and live in this house
We should talk!👍
I could do with the company
Good story telling but thats all this is....Telling a good story....
So you do not believe moving into a house where 6 people were brutally murdered doesn't hold an energy? We as humans are energy , Energy cannot be destroyed! I believe the paranormal happenings were hyped up for book deals / movies but residually there was 💯 energy good bad or indifferent going on!

The real Amityville horror was what Ronald Defeo Jr. did to his family.
yup, he was the true horror in that place. I always thought it was tragic that the murdered deFeo family-members had no chance of knowing about the danger they were in. How could the parents have known their eldest son was a psychopath?
Goin' South i don’t know if it’s because of all the stories surrounding this house or not but we went to look at it from the outside years ago and everyone in our group all said they had a weird feeling being near the house and it felt like it was watching you. You could feel the air and atmosphere around you change but like I said I think that could be down to all the stories you’ve heard about the house over the years and your mind is just playing tricks on you.
@@harley7836 of course you would have a weird feeling, cause you knew what went down there. It's normal.
how come none of them woke up? the first gun shot would of woke up the neighbourhood 36 caliber!, the house is built on Metoac land
William Sauer yes but to feel the air and atmosphere change around that house you couldn’t breathe it felt like someone was choking the life out of you. I know mind over matter but is it capable of doing that not just to one person but eight of us? We only came across the house by accident because we was driving passed it and someone joked that looks like the house until we saw what street we was and turned the car around and went back to have a look. That house is fricking evil and needs ripping down. We wasn’t the only ones who had these feelings look online and there’s 100’s if not 1000’s of stories all telling of the same feelings. If I ever found myself on that street again I wouldn’t stop I’d put my foot down so hard that the car went passed before the house could see me!?! 🤣🤣🤣 I don’t get scared at stuff like that but that house does something to you just being around it. There’s a house here in LA where a famous guy said his wife fell down the stairs and died but he’s been done for murder not just of his wife but a few women he knew that all died in similar situations that house isn’t to far from mine and just driving passed that you get the same feeling you get around this house. I hate going passed that house but you’ve got no choice there’s no other way out. Even my children hate the house and refuse to go anywhere near it, they prefer walking the long way around through the woods to the main road then walk passed that house and it’s gates. I’m sure I’ve heard it’s been turned into a TV show/documentary type thing but not bothered checking I don’t want to know. I know something happened there because in the summertime the murder tour’s of LA are always there which pisses me off if I’m trying to get to work or my kid’s to school or wherever they need to be because the damn bus blocks the road. And the neighbours not happy because they use their driveway to turn around because you can only get out the way you drive in. Messed up. I was a kid/teenager at the time we saw this house I wouldn’t go out of my way looking for famous murder house’s now I’m a mother of six in my late 30’s.
This is great. It's like George giving us a personal slideshow of his Amityville memories.
Mufnstuf I don’t believe that they lied. The lutz family put all their money into this house. Only to leave 28 days later? Something happened. What’s more interesting is 8 people were shot, and they were all face down without a struggle. No neighbors heard anything?
@@it-wasnt-me9642 exactly....and there was no sign of a struggle or altercation. That's damn creepy. The shotgun and them leaving in the middle of the night taking no belongings at all is what gets me the most.

I don't know why people are complaining about the music in the background, I find it relaxing and George's voice is calming considering what they went through.
Yeah
I saw this movie when I was 7 when being babysat. The young sitters decided it was a good idea!
So,yeah, the relaxing piano helps me just watch and listen to this story tbh
holly pytel I like it, too.
Why? What happened to George?
It’s prob just a couple of assholes....typical internet posts.
You have to consider that a lot of people listen who are not native speakers..it's hard to hear what he says..and in spite of that..j typically listen to that kind of stories while cleaning..so I have to turn up the sound..and that annoying music gets louder and I hardly can hear him talk..the music is ok..it's just way too loud..and unnecessary..there is that UA-cam channel called: that chapter.,that's how it should be made,..simple..easy..the music here is way too distracting
I loved this!! His voice and the music were so calming. It’s just a sad topic he’s describing and speaking about. And scary.
Music is horrible
The music is pleasant, but george wasnt.
People or a certain group of people are often the conduits for a haunting. One family could move into a dwelling and experience nothing while another could move in and experience something like the Amityville Horror. Much of it is based on certain combinations of psyche and personal beliefs/past traumas that allow this to manifest. Similar to a slot machine coming up all 7s etc. Carl Jung wrote in depth about this.
Absolutely. Lutz was messing with occult matters. I met, years ago, a woman who genuinely believed that her home is infested by demons who were trying to possess her as well. It started after she got deeply involved in studying occult, and practicing automatic writing. I had visited her on numerous occasions, but never saw or felt anything unusual in her house. Eventually, the woman moved out and her son with his family moved in. THEY still live in that house and never once witnessed anything paranormal. However, the mother who got a condo in a brand new building, must have brought her own demons with her, as she continued her "fight". Used very unconventional methods - for instance, vacuuming her body orifices with the vacuum cleaner pipe.. Or, cut the air around herself with long scissors - as her demons apparently attached themselves to her with tangible threads..
@@HaHaIncVery interesting.
I’ve often wondered why people would even think that cutting a spirit thread with physical scissors would do any good. But I suppose, whatever floats their boat…
I’ve experienced a few wild things.
For me, when I turned to Scriptures.
I didn’t need any charms, any candles, any trinkets of luck…
I stopped studying occultist garbage.
And all that had been happening.
Nightmares. Seeing images of shadows walking. Hearing knocks and noises at odd hours of the night.
Stopped…
I don’t mean slowed down.
I mean halted.
I had a terrible temper. Terrible. I hate what I’ve done with it.
But for me…
That written Word… Helped me to learn to be released from that entanglement.
To each their own- Some find solace in different ways… I personally found it learning about Christ. Though He was treated horribly by many man… He freed many from their spiritual bondage… That’s my personal experience.
Take care!!
According to one of the sons, George Lutz was very into the occult.
Well if there weren't evil spirits in the house before, they invited them in by holding seances.
I saw this movie. The original. When it came out. We sat in the front row. My uncle took me and my sister. I was 8 years old.
This movie scared the absolute SHIT out of me. I didn't sleep for weeks. 8 years old. And since then no horror movies even phase me... this was by far the best made horror film ever made..

We all went to the location they filmed the movie
We got busted peeking in the windows
The movie house didn't look anything like the real home
There where alot of local places used in the movie
@Mr. Opinionated I agree that's why most horror movies yoday aren't as good too many twists and gore no imagination
timothy mackin hahahaha .. good stuff man
Timothy I was the same age when my mom took me to see the movie. I gripped her arm so hard she had black and blue marks for a week. I was terrified of the eyes 👀 outside the little girls room and the rocking chair that moved. Remember the babysitter got locked in the closet and had a mental breakdown. I still get chills.
@synchromorph yup not the dead o es ya have to worry about it's the live one Amy grandma always said that lol
I lived a mile from the house for 11 years we would go by the house and doesn't look the way it did back then and the number on the house has changed the DeFeo family are buried about a mile from where I live now rest in peace to them all.

Very cool to see it from his perspective!!
In order to believe this story you have to believe in God. See how that works?
you should watch the warrens interview on this case they worked, they spoke about the same thing you're on about. George wasn't a godly man nor did he believe such things. Now he goes the church every sunday and so does his family, after this all happened.
I never could understand why humans would want to have a dead animals head mounted on their wall.
T OB oh yeah right. Stupid response!
A trophy and reminder they ate well. Yuck. Animals have feelings too.
Sally Richardson unfortunately here in the US, it’s a macho statement.
Sally Richardson why not? A head is head!
@T OB I am from Australia, an hour away from your friends in Brisbane and unfortunately kangaroos are in plague numbers in certain areas, and need to be culled before they damage farmed crops, similar problem with rabbits. Koala numbers are declining however, and this has been a problem for many years. But yes, taxidermy is disgusting.
I got to meet George Lutz at a Horror Convention in Baltimore back in 2003, he was a real nice guy and he done a seminar and showed us these same pictures, I got his autograph and a picture with him. He got to where he knew me by my first name. I've always been Obsessed by the Amityville story RIP George Lutz.
Hehe...Lutz making a living out of this make believe story. Who would have thought...!!??
Lucky. This story has always haunted me.
@@charlessphere2626 He never "made a living" out of it and I guarantee he didn't solicit movies and conventions...they came to him. When you've experienced that, what else do you do?

Rich or poor no one would move in and then just leave everything behind for no reason !!
Uh... check out all the videos of abandoned homes on UA-cam. Rich or poor, it's disturbing how many people actually DO do this.
@@beths3288 not after only mere days of residing there & had invested everything they had in buying it. They didnt have money like that . This was a score for them.
Unless they believe that they can sell their story for more money.
Sure they would. It happens all the time. Not just with houses, but with lots of things of value.
Beth S They could just afford to live in the house so to leave the furniture ect and start again is a no. They left that house for a reason!!
This is very well made & for once i am actually hearing/seeing this story from the perspective & actual words from the person who bought as well as lived in this home with his family after the murders of the previous owners & their family by their son. Much Gratitude for posting this Jason Hawes & in hearing the words of Mr. Lutz in this documentary styled telling of the very short time they stayed there,it's easy to see why they left,never returned nor even wanted any of their own possessions,leaving so much behind,everything, & now,reliving it all in this video, "his & his family's own experiences" living there in that home. I do believe that this was real & my reasoning for that is in the form of a question. Why else would anyone simply move in & then simply move out & leave all of a sudden as the Lutz's did taking nothing,i say real.
Exactly that boat all of the food clothes the just left with the clothes on their backs.
@AustinParanormalResearch I am glad that you mentioned the Bible talking about that because I believe in the Bible and such things happen to people and I believe that they do. Austin, what happened to you that you experienced paranormal events in that way? It would be interesting only if you are comfortable with talking about it. You have to have Peace when talking about such things. But if you don't mind, do you feel like sharing your paranormal events with me (actually it would be with everyone else on this board) . But do it only if you are comfortable to do it. Thank you very much.
What confuses me is the house is still standing, and the owners that now have it have never experienced one paranormal thing.
Because its all lies Mr Lutz was a con man. the only bother people have his people keeps coming to the house apart from this . nothing wrong with the house at all Mate
M Perry I just now saw this. This house was empty for a year after the murders. What I’ve found is that abandoned structures attract demonic entities for some reason. I found an abandoned lake house near Austin, Texas. My son and I went in at midnight one night to do a “ghost hunt”. We had watched those type of shows and thought it would be fun. Turns out the house had been abandoned for 13 years. We had an old Sony Nightshot camcorder that my son carried. Though the house was empty and the night calm we heard loud thumps, knocks, and loud pounding all over the house. These are clearly heard on tape. We didn’t hear any talking but on tape there was my son asking: “What’s all this pounding?” To which you can hear different voices say “Satan”, “kids”, “f***ing pigs.” There’s lots of cursing. I was blown away and this increased my faith tenfold in the Bible and Jesus. People watch the tape and of course some claim it is fake but it is absolutely the truth. There’s something perfect about the iPhone’s electronics that it can pick up EVPs and see orbs. Many friends have used the phone’s video recorder with the phone’s light on in a dark room and have seen orbs, captured EVPs. I tell people to try it in different places and many have changed their minds about the paranormal after their experiences. It has to happen to someone before they’ll believe it.
Man that moose ear sure does look like a moose ear.
bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha
I really enjoyed listening to this I've never seen this before and I've watched a lot about this house thank you so much for sharing 👍
If they ever made a movie where they followed the book 100% ,that movie would truly be scary
I wish the conjuring would do a whole movie on this case, Lorean Warren said this house made her very ill and she never felt so much evil.
The new conjuring is gonna be about it actually
Lorraine Warren
De Lorean,made cars and smuggled coke to,pay for company
Do you also believe in the Easter Bunny?
YEEESSS!!! The Conjuring + Amityville Horror crossover!!!
DCFangurl Gaming thanks! I had no idea, I won’t sleep for weeks after seeing the last one.
It's amazing to me how much he and my father sounded just alike. He was my uncle. They are both gone now of course. That whole side of the family seems to have been cursed. Sad really...
tracie bolton so you are related to this man?
@@RR-ky6eu He was my uncle, my father's brother.
tracie bolton I believe your Uncle. I believe what he says is the truth. What do you believe?
@@noradaly1 I believe that they were haunted. Only because they were not creative people by nature. They would never be able to keep up that story until death. I think the author took creative licenses to create a better story. I know they suffered a great deal because of it and it eventually tore them apart. My father's side of the family were a bit difficult to read but completely unimaginative... So no lying. I know George worked very hard at convincing us that he was truthful years after the fact because the family pushed him out after.... And he did. I know that the people who bought furniture and the boat had issues after they took them home. I know he wasn't a liar. This never made them wealthier.
tracie bolton First, I would like to thank you for responding as this must be difficult for you after all the years of chaos you must have endured. Unfortunately social media and a narrow minded, entitled society leaves most people self proclaimed experts on things they have decided are true, which are not actual facts, and they’ve never once looked into them to boot. People too often feel their own belief is a record of fact which is why cognitive dissonance is a rampant disease. I DO believe you. I also believe that most of what the media (news) informs the public is controlled bullshit. I’m sure your family has been destroyed time and again so others could capitalize off the story and sadly the rumors do nothing but serve to pour salt into a horrendous wound. No one knows what goes on behind others closed doors. Period. There is evil in very high places and what happened at your Uncle’s house is not unique. There is much more to all of this than what the know it all public will ever know. There’s a darkness that is well known and your Uncle’s story matches up. Let people talk about it being debunked. They believe it because someone said it was fake and wrote a book and made up stories to go along with it. So it must be true right? Because the internet said it’s fake right? Of course!! 😣 .... My advice to them is look up the real history of the United States, look up Freemasons, learn what you were never taught in school, and then revisit your Uncles story. They will be a believer then. I assure you of that. Critical thinking people. Use your own minds and study it yourself. You will wish you didn’t once you do. Tracie thank you again for responding. I appreciate it. I’m sure others do too. ❤️
The music is competing with the interview, so it's hard to focus on just what he's saying without being distracted. If you're going to use background music in this style of video, then please reduce the volume.
Totally agree
Adderall. Ask your doctor, you may need it.
@@georgesed2447 Adderall can't save this video from bad editing.
it does not matter if the story is false. what is truly horrible is that a whole family died a violent death in that house and i believe there must be some residual negative energy of evil there because of that alone.
There's a lot of truth to this story, 3 polygraphs and more. Is everything true? Nah. but it isn't false either. Such is life.
@@robideals685you want so badly to believe.

Just wait and see how true your statement becomes. The scary covid-19 is not what they have been telling everyone it is. 2019-2020 will go down in history as the turning point.
ali imran - Why is that House safer than a microscopic virus... just wondering?, Smallpox given to Americans Indians in the 1800’s were in the same type of perspective. I’m not being chaffe but if there’s some scientific reason why...
@@tracyspivey6644 tbh your reply really made me think and I think I owe an apology to the believers! Just cz we can't see something doesn't mean it doesn't exist. And just as we need tools many times to experience physical phenomena - like a cellphone to catch wifi or a radio to know of the radio waves, the people who are spiritual mediums are the ones who really experience the manifestation of the supernatural phenomenon without us knowing it.... So us not having that specific spiritual tuning doesn't mean these supernatural things don't exist!
Peace 🙏
@Hank Bridges
Don't say shit like that "THEY WILL TAKE YOU OUT"!
I have made a decision to neither believe or disbelieve paranormal stories. I’ve never experienced it myself. But what always gives me pause is when I hear a story recounted with so much sincerity in the voice. He isn’t lying.
Steven Prosser You can’t say he isn’t lying just because he sounds sincere. Anybody whose ever lived past the age of 12 has had someone look them in the eyes and with complete sincerity lie to they’re face. People can make themselves believe anything, especially if it gets them attention and money. And if you believe it, you’re gonna look sincere.
chris ledbetter And if you believe it you aren’t lying. You are just wrong.
Courts don't recognize the existence of invisible creatures like angels and demons. Thinking that faith convinces someone to believe the existence of invisible creatures like angels and demons, has credibility issues, dude. So remember, the realists and the gullible are two worlds apart. Where you stand, is where your conscience allows.
@@stevenprosser689 if you do some legwork you will find out that they were lying they did this to try to make money it was a scam the first couple that live there that were killed with the kids there was mob involvement it didn't come out for a while that's because the mob knows what they're doing and they do good work just like the Texas Chainsaw Massacre John Sonny franzese in the Colombo family it is getting ready to be made boss but he went to prison but he put the money up to make the movie Texas Chainsaw Massacre he invested in put some money up in the first porn also deepthroat he made 30 million off of that
Same, agree.
I understand how he feels because the same type of thing happened to my family and it changed my life forever
I am sorry to hear that. What happened to you and your family?
carol roth What happened?
Do tell??
No it didn't
I was in my early 20's when this story first came out. It's intriguing, the book was great, the movie was scary and I still have no idea if it's real.
Great video. Is there more to this? Just seemed to end abruptly.
Interesting but that piano playing got on my last nerve.
@So Low 2 Solo "consolidation"????? Wha???
Lmao
I thought it was perfect...
the piano music is beautiful.
it's pissing me off.. damn that fucking piano..
Its a story that always fascinated me.. but the bit that creeps me out, is comparing the photos taken when the Warrens were investigating and the Defeo crime scene photos, you can see that the lutzes kept all the original Defeo wallpapers and some furniture... in the pic of the lutz daughter missy’s room has the bed headboard and frame that Dawn Defeo died in, and the master bedroom has the same wallpaper, Large mirror and overhead light as it was when the Defeo parents slept and died there... i find that really unsettling..the house is beautiful and I would live there, but, i think the crime would play on my mind if i kept the original wallpaper and furniture etc.
Seances and witchcraft are dangerous to deal with. My experience has led me to Jesus. I cannot and will not ever go back! Im so glad Jesus has saved me. I cannot watch anymore. God bless.
Courts don't recognize the existence of invisible creatures like angels and demons. Realists recognize that social negligence, is always the result of delusional communities. It's fun to enjoy medieval fantasies, but the world demands conscientious ethics, dude. You know - civic responsibility.....
How do the neighbors not hear 6 blasts from a gun in a quiet neighborhood?🤔
Because they knew the family had mob ties; they no doubt heard the shots, but were smart enough to deny it to police when asked, and thus not implicate themselves, thinking it was a mob hit. No mob reprisals against them, keeping your mouth shut; that is smart neighbouring.
People should watch all the documentaries on this story of the Amityville Horror house. I'm no expert. I wasn't there. However, if we all come on back down to Earth, then we'll all have a much more reasonable idea on what really happened and all the silly ghost stories that were birthed from this horrible tragedy of a drug addict, nut, that killed his entire mafia family.
The piano in the backround is annoying to me.Otherwise an excellent doc.
Kristina Mullen it’s just background music chill
I stopped watching after 2 minutes, it was just too much. I want to hear the speech not annoying music. Oh well the internet is big.
I play piano and love it! However the music is not a sympathetic background for this subject matter.
Honestly people STOP PUTTING BACKGROUND MUSIC IN DOCUMENTARIES IS USELESS. FUCKING SOUND ENGINEERS TRYIN TO USE THIS FOR YOUR PORTFOLIOS JUST SELFISH. IS THE MOST ANNOYING THING IN THE WORLD.
I rather like the piano music
Thank you for making this!
Thank you Mr lutzt. I have always been fascinated by this part of history and really appreciate this opportunity to hear you tell about it.
Interesting
The music ruined this whole thing. I doesn't belong here. It sounds like it would be in a laxative commercial from the 80s.
J Bro Hahahaha it makes absolutely no sense, you’re right
As a connoisseur of 80s laxative commercials, I loudly agree.
Some video maker feel compelled to put music. Why? Dunno.
Yeah was incongruous
I love this! Thanks for posting!
he and his wife had admitted that the story was made up for the book,so i do not know what this is supposed to be.?
No. They said the book was exaggerated, but they never backed off of their claims that what happened, happened.
It was this guy, and I can't recall his name, who thought he had some kind of deal with the Lutz' to make money off this, who then went after the Lutz', determined to ruin them because they didn't play along. AFAIK, they passed the lie detector tests and decided that what this guy was selling, they knew was false. They just wanted to get on with their lives
Jeff Heff Webber claims it was all a hoax but he is the attorney for Defeo so not credible
@Hank Bridges No not their lawyer Defeo's lawyer claimed they got drunk and made it up maybe he got drunk and dreamed that they got drunk and made the whole thing up all he cared about was helping the killer the Lutzes wanted nothing to do with Webber
@@aprilgosa5779 no about 10 years ago i watched an interview with the husband and wife and they admitted it was made up to sell the book,they were working on a book before they even moved in,and then had the inspiration for the direction the book took after talking to neighbors , about what ronny defao had been claiming about the demons and the such
I think if someone were to go through and experience such a thing as theyd claimed, that theyd be trumatized to the nth degree and would most likely try to suppress such memories and not relive them by writing a book.
I’ve passed that house more than once when visiting along Island. It’s an absolutely gorgeous neighborhood and a beautiful house.
I did not realized how close together the houses are in that neighborhood until I saw the house myself. The iconic upper windows have been changed to rectangular ones. It looked very cozy and nice in the evening. You’d never know. Amityville is still very much a small town and very charming.
Looks better a lighter colour than it did that dark maroon
Oh hell no! That picture of "Jody" literally made me nauseous and my heart was racing. Wtf
Same here. I have seen that picture before.
I don't believe that entity was human and that's what's causing the reactions. I felt the same sense of evil when I saw that image.
The drawing of Jodie was the neighbors cat that jumped in the windows. The picture of the boy with glowing eyes is one of the investigators with glasses that the camera took a pic of lol.
Saw Danny at a party in the 80s, a couple of girl told us not to ask him about what happened. He still was bothered by the whole experience. Its Sad what the family went through.
You know that it’s all a lie, right? It was a huge hoax.
@@kathleenmcbride4838 No l don't know. What make you an authority on the subject.
@@katcammarata5040 if you really dig into the story you realize it's the second couple that moved in here this guy doing the video it was a bunch of crap you actually believe green slime going to come out door Keyholes 😆. But if you do some investigating and really dig you'll find out one of the family members I'm not going to say who had some dealings with the mob and it didn't go well the house is it haunted but if you believe the story I got some land and a bridge I got a lot of shit for sale
The family went through NOTHING...and it’s sad they have placed such stigma on this home that continues to this day!
@@Bella1neverknows670 the slime happened our cleaning team had the task of cleaning it up
You know what, this guy, George Lutz, sounds like he’s telling the truth, not to mention, both he and his wife passed polygraphs. He tells the story the same way, each and every time. He speaks fluidly, without hesitation. Nice job Jason. Glad to subscribe to your channel. Good luck. 🍀
I believe him.
If you rehearse it enough, you can start believing it. The video is also clearly edited and polygraphs are not reliable.
I don't know Where you got that from but no they did not pass polygraph They never took polygraphs you liar You're making crap up now Like really guy Don't say stuff that's not true You really want to be that right that bad that you make something up how pathetic of you and even if they did take a polygraph you dummy polygraph and be staged pretty easily And they are not actual proof of truth and they can't be used as proof of truth either
If you know anything about the history of the Lutzes you would know that the story isnt real. It was a hoax cooked up by Ronnie's defense attorney and the Lutz couple one night while drinking wine. You people will believe anything you're told. Gullible idiots. If you believe in the ghosts goblins and god, then I've got a house on the moon id like to sell you. Ill give you a great deal on it!!!!! Retards!!!!!! Try researching shit yourself before coming to a conclusion.
Scariest thing in the house is the moose head

Anybody else hear a baby around 8 minutes ?
Definitely was some interference. It could've been just the person who uploaded it. When I make videos all of the sudden I hear noises in the background, just my cats reminding it's time to eat & "do that on your own time Tiff...🐾🐾🐾."
Yes sounded like a baby but that doesn't mean the sound was a baby. Can also hear a child or cat at 1107 ish. In fact their sounds all the way through this but you don't know who's with him. There's definitely a man coughing and yawning and footsteps

Never inside drove past many times many of us live in the same town or a few towns away there were NO evil spirits
The family that moved in after the Lutz’s never had any issues
Because the Warren's got rid of the spirits in there.

Michael Corazzini Because it had been cleansed by then.
Louis Vuitton Girl But, in the video he’s says that the next family had it worse that his family?
Kartia 77 In the video, he says the next family had it worse than his family
You're afraid of your furniture and clothing because they may contain evil spirits, so you donate them to unsuspecting people?

Rest in peace, Kathy Lutz and George Lutz. I’m sorry you and your children had to go through so something so dramatic I live in California I hope when you moved to California that things got better I just felt so much for the children because I’m the same ages one of the boys as of today they must’ve gone through a lot to leave everything behind. Just nobody would do that I move all the way to California and when they got to the counter at JFK to get tickets they just signed over their car to the ticket agent said here at yours and I just flew to San Diego and started fresh. I They had a 🧳 for each of them and just just go to San Diego and start over there no longer with us George and Kathy but Kathy seem to have the sweetest calming gentle voice ever when you hear her in her interviews very lovely woman.

Met Lutz at a paranormal conference when I first started writing. He struck me as genuine, though I think he suffered from the same malady as the Warrens in that he was so scared by what happened he couldn't understand that it was just a haunting. Not some demonic horror movie crap.
Hauntings and the demonic go hand in hand,
genuine enough to go to paranormal conferences despite being so scared he and his family ran from alleged paranormal activities. Its a scam and the Warrens were scammers
So do black magic and drug use.
The last 60 seconds of what he say's I understand 100%. I live it in complete isolation and have now for a whole decade.
