Show Notes

Ronald DeFeo Sr and his wife Louise purchased a home in Amityville, New York and named it High Hopes. It was anything but. Ronald DeFeo Jr, who went by Butch was the oldest son of five kids and he had a drug problem. He was also violent and had been raised in an abusive household. On November 13, 1974, Butch took a shotgun and murdered the entire family as they slept. After he was imprisoned, George and Kathy Lutz bought the house. Friends were afraid it might be haunted so the Lutz family called a priest to bless the house. The Priest, Father Ray, claims that while blessing the house he heard a menacing voice say, "get out." Afterwards, the Lutz family began experiencing strange paranormal events and soon, they decided to move out. The story would become the inspiration for the famous horror franchise, The Amityville Horror
