 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 remakes. 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 the 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 windows seen in the film have since been changed and so has the interior for obvious reasons. In November 1974 a seemingly normal family, the DeFeo's, resided in this house. Around 3.15am one of the children, Ronald DeFeo Jr. murdered his entire family as they slept, going from room to room shooting his parents and siblings. He said that he heard voices in the home 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 this super haunted house and I've liked them all. The original starring James Brolin released in 1979. Then another good one in 2005 with Ryan Reynolds. And most recently Amityville The Awakening with Bella Thorne 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 as usual let me know who's house tour is next in those comments down below. Now let's get into this video. The 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 DeFeo 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. DeFeo 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 at the Ocean Avenue house. Hey police comb the DeFeo'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 DeFeo was in the house at the time of the murders but they're not yet considering him a suspect. Despite this a look at DeFeo 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 in adults. He not only last showed 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 job. Though his attorney William Weber tried to use the insanity plea, the prosecution argued DeFeo Jr. was a mere drug addict who was well aware of what he was doing that night. He was convicted on six counts of secondary murder and sentenced to six concurrent sentences of 25 years to life. Still in prison to this day. 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 Amneville house in December 1975 the haunting stories began to swirl the news. George and 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. From green slime oozing from the walls 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. Foul odors, eyes peering into the house from outside and Kathy levitating in bed it was reportedly quite the month. George also claimed he woke up at 3.15 a.m. each night the exact time of the DeFeo family deaths. Jay Ann since 1977 booked the Amneville horror was based on these reported events and served as the blueprint for the classic 1979 film of the same name. The book was a bestseller the film became a classic and tourists flocked to see the house. Ann's 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, however, DeFeo Jr's attorney said the haunting was all a hoax he allegedly conjured up with Jay Ann while drinking. All in all the Amneville house has had about 5 different owners since the DeFeo 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 DeFeo Jr. Despite all of the theories on the Amneville house hauntings and how they were a hoax is it possible that evil spirits inhabit 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 lot. One set of owners, the Cremarties, actually changed the Amneville house address from the original 112 Ocean Avenue hoping to stave off stalkers and retain its fluctuating value. The Amneville house has been significantly renovated since the 1970s as you might expect. It's once dark shinglesiding 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 5 beds and 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 and large living room with fireplace, a kitchen and even a beautiful sun room. Elsewhere there's another sitting room which held the piano and built in bookshelves and the listing folios. The home backs onto the Amneville Creek and one of the more recent owners restored the sagging boat house which is on the canal. Apparently the same owners added another sun room 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 views. Honestly the Amneville house is looking stunning these days and completely normal might I add. Despite the Gawkers who pass by and occasionally attempt to explore the property the current owners of the Amneville 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 Amneville house of horrors. Whether the paranormal events actually took place or it was just exaggerated by the Lutz family and Robert DeFeo Jr. the grisly murders that happened here are enough to make it haunted in my books. Not to mention the Amneville story brought on some great horror books and films either way. After looking at the Amneville 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.
