We were really a close family, you know? It's just shame what happened, what happened? If you're a horror fan like me then you're familiar with the Amityville House. It's been called the most haunted home in America, and the true events that occurred here in the 70s have inspired multiple movies and remake. A few years ago the real Amityville Horror House was up for sale, and we're gonna take a look. Since it is Halloween and all, I figured why not tour the famous Amityville House and go over some of the spooky history and what the real house looks like inside and out? In these videos we don't reveal any addresses, and even though I've done a house tour of my own place, please do not show up at any private residences, because it's not safe for anyone. The Amityville House is in the small town of Amityville Long Island, just 30 miles outside of New York City. The iconic window scene in the film has since been changed, and so has the interior for obvious reasons. In November 1974, a seemingly normal family to defyos, resided in this house. Around 3-15am, one of the children Ronald DeFail Jr. murdered his entire family as they slept, went from room to room shooting his parents in siblings. He said that he heard voices in the home at telling him to murder them, and he was given six life sentences, still serving time to this day. Despite the horror of these events, it doesn't stop there. Apparently the hauntings continued, but I'll get to that shortly. Personally, I've seen three movies based on the super haunted house, and I like them all. There was the original starring James Brolin released in 1979. You all gone mad? George! Then another good one in 2005 with Ryan Reynolds. And most recently, Amity built Awakening with Bella Thorn in 2015. After this house tour, you might be inspired to go watch one or all of those movies. I know I will.

Follow me on Instagram to chat, and it's usual let me know who's house tours next in those comments down below. And let's get into this video. In the early morning hours of November 13th, 1974, the Amityville House went from being a mere suburban home to an infamous crime scene. As I mentioned, one of the children Ronald DeFail Jr. lurked the home's hallways with a rifle taking the life of his parents and four of his siblings. Though he confessed to his deeds, Robert's defense would later attempt an insanity plea. DeFail ominously claimed that there were voices in his head urging him to kill and he couldn't control his behavior. And some believe he was hearing evil spirits that resided the Ocean Avenue House. Hey, police combed the DeFail's handsome three-story house for clues while divers explored the backyard swimming pool for the still-unfound murder weapon. Police have been questioning the son Ronald and now say he is being, quote, safeguarded. Investigators say without explanation that they now feel young DeFail was in the house of the time of the murders, but they're not yet considering him a suspect. Despite this, a look at DeFail Jr.'s life provides an alternative reason for the events. With an abusive father and passive mother, the boy's troubled childhood led to substance abuses and adults. He not only lash out at his father, but once even threatened him with a gun. The parents hoped letting him live at home and with a weekly allowance would help and Robert barely held a jaw. There was attorney William Weber tried to use the insanity plea. The prosecution argued DeFail Jr. was a mere drug addict who was well aware of what he was doing that night. He was convicted on six counts of second to remurder and sentenced six concurrent sentences of 25 years to life still in prison to this day. There was a lot of problems in the world. It's not that I consider a lie to you. I can say that I knew something bad was going to happen to my mother and father. Despite the infamous 1974 killings, numerous families have since moved in and out of the suburban home. And according to many, paranormal occurrences were common here. When the Lutz family moved into the Amity Vahaus in December 1975, the haunting stories began to swirl the news. Georgian Kathy Lutz believed the purchase of the Dutch colonial style Home at ADK was a steal. But moved out 28 days later after terrifying incidents occurred. Just moving into the house was fine. It's a lovely house. And we enjoyed moving in. Within a week, Kathy's hand had been touched by something that we discussed and couldn't explain. It was just something unseen. From Green's slime oozing from the walls, it was more of a gelatin kind of substance that we thought the children had somehow mixed something up and spilled it around the house. The next time it happened, the kids were at school. And there was just no way to explain how it got there. Fowl odors. Eyes peering into the house from outside and Kathy levitating in bed. It was reportedly quite the month. When it happens to a family, usually they close the door and they don't talk about it. Yeah. And then, unless these things are talked about, they'll never be understood. Georg also claimed he woke about 315 a.m. each night the exact time of the defail family deaths. J. Anson's 1977 book The Amity the Horror was based on these reported events and served as the blueprint for the classic 1979 film of the same name. The book was the bestseller, the film became a classic and tourists flocked to see the house. Would you believe all the stories? Yeah, I do. They're kind of creepy. They gave me the creeps that, why do you believe it when they present owners say there's no truth to it at all? They've been living here for almost two years. Oh, I didn't know they had present owners. I thought it was deserted. And since book used 45 hours of the family's recorded interviews as a basis, and one of the three children confirmed the hauntings happened. But he also said the events were exaggerated by his stepfather George Lutz. George was curious about paranormal activity and tried to summon spirits and had financial motivation to sell his story to the media due to the family's severe death. And Weber, the failure of Jr's attorney, said the haunting was all a hoax. He allegedly conjured up with J. Anson while drinking. All in all, the Amityville house has had about five different owners since the defail murders. And most recently it was purchased for 605K in February 2017. Today, there are 18 different films about the house, the most recent one being the one starring Bella Thorne. Several documentaries have also been made including some that featured Ronald DeFail Jr. Despite all of the theories on the Amityville house hauntings and how they were a hoax, is it possible that evil spirits and habit the property? There have been eerie images taken at the home over the decades, so I'll let you be the judge. At present, the Dutch colonial home looks like your average suburban family home. It's actually quite nice. Most recently, it was bought for 605K in February 2017 and sits on a quarter acre log. One set of owners, the Cromarties, actually changed the Amityville house address from the original 1112 Ocean Avenue, hoping to stave off stalkers and retain its fluctuating value. The Amityville house has been significantly renovated since the 1970s as you might expect. It's one stark, shingle siding was replaced with a much lighter shade and the home's iconic eye windows have since been removed, most likely to make the place less recognizable. Inside, there are five beds in 3.5 baths and the house was originally built in 1927. There are plenty of windows throughout filling the home with natural light. The home is rather substantial offering a formal dining room, large living room with fireplace, a kitchen and even a beautiful sunroof. I'll swear there's another sitting room which held the piano and built in bookshelves and listing folios. The home backs on to the Amityville Creek and one of the more recent owners restored the sagging boat house which is on the canal. Apparently the same owners added another sunroom to the creek side of the house as well. Outside, there's plenty of deck and patio space as well and even a balcony overlooking water use. Honestly, the Amityville house is looking stunning these days and completely normal, my day-at. Despite the gockers who pass by an occasionally attempt to explore the property, the current owners of the Amityville house seem to be content living here. And we haven't heard of any green slime oozing from the wall since. So now we've taken a look at the haunted Amityville house of horse, whether the paranormal events actually took place where it was just exaggerated by the Lutz family and Robert DeFeo Jr., the grizzly murders that happened here are enough to make it haunted in my books. Not to mention the Amityville story brought on some great horror books and films either way. After looking at the Amityville house in Long Island, what did you guys think? Do you think it's actually haunted or is it just a normal suburban house in the water? Would you ever live here? Be honest. Personally, I go and check it out and stay a few nights just because I'm curious, but any house with murders like that occurring in it is just some bad energy to me.
