Later that night my dad saw what happened on the news. He said Marc was a great kid and pretty good at football. I live 30 minutes from amityville & I’ve been wishing for you to come!!

My father worked for the town sanitation and used to pick up the garbage from that house he had to go to the back of the house to get the trash and he told me alot of stories, when the Defeos lived there he said that the son put drugs in the family soup before killing them and that explains why everyone one was in their beds sleeping and he did it for the life insurance.

This guy was in his 20's and still living, or having a relationship, with his 'abusive' father?! What's hard for me to believe, is that the parents allowed him to have access to the home, with young kids, when he was a drunk/druggie and it cost the children their lives. There's a valid reason there are a lot of homeless drunks/druggies, because most families get tired of the violence, stealing, erratic behavior and trying to help them, when they won't help themselves.

@@nancid5265 I agree. I'm currently reading "The Night the Defeos Died" by Ric Osuna. I don't believe the entire story Butch tells in the book, but I think it's far more plausible than the official, police version. In the book, he says that a friend of his and him killed the parents and the eldest sister was supposed to take the younger kids to their grandparents' house. He said his friend freaked out, and left the house. Butch then says he showered, went after his friend to help put his father back in bed, and that Dawn (sister) was supposed to take the kids. Butch claims different things - which is why I don't believe everything he says. The first thing he claims is he came back to the house with the friend, they move the dad, and the friend leaves. Then he says when he returned (no mention of the friend) he went up to Dawn's room to find out why she hadn't taken the kids to the grandparents' house. He says she was on the phone and high af. He says that's when he checked on the kids, discovered them all dead, and then killed Dawn. But he also says, when he found his friend, the friend was leaving his house, wearing the clothes he had put in the washer after he showered. Which led Butch to believe the friend and Dawn killed the kids together. 🤔 Based on forensics alone, there is no way a single person committed this crime. I find it very interesting that Butch died in March or May of 2021, but they won't release cause of death.

I've had spiritual experience. The first was in a small 8 unit housing place, they were built as two- 4 unit houses... the side I lived in for 4 years, the gentleman that owned the property had passed away. My building was built where his garden used to be. I was woke from sleep by a fairly bright blue light, the energy was calm and comforting. Once i realized what happened i lit a white candle thank him for his visit and welcomed his to visit again. The second place is where I currently reside approx. 100 yards from St. Peter's cemetery which also has Some of Canadian Military Buried there. On several occasions I have seen spirits traversing from my front door up or down my stairs. I cleansed the house when I first moved in with white sage. After encounter i once again cleansed welcoming those who needed physical place to go from here to wherever they wanted as long as they meant no harm. Going on 17 years here I've seen 50+ times of spirit travels and one boy no more than 5 or 6 peeking at me over my railing grinning.

I watched an in depth documentary about this family not long ago. The Defeo father brutally beat his older son quite often, beginning at the age of 2. The mother was also a victim of his physical abuse and often covered her arms, legs, and eyes (sunglasses) when out in public. And you ask why Butch killed him. Unfortunate event, regardless. The documentary gave me a whole new view of this story. Edit: Lamont, i forgot to thank you! Great video.

Why would they heckle him

I was 13 years old when the De Feos were murdered but didn't know of them until "The Amityville Horror" was published a few years later. Just before the murders took place I had read a book I was told not to read: "In Cold Blood" by Truman Capote, about the murder of four members of the Clutter family in 1959, a book that had life-changing effect on me as it changed how I see the world. I became interested in the De Feo case just in the last few years. There are couple of books about the case: "High Hopes" and the more recent "The Night the De Feos Died". From what I've read and heard, George Lutz's comments are to be taken with a great deal of skepticism. One interviewer talked about Mr. Lutz being like a persuasive salesman. I once Mrs. Lutz talk about the mistake of dabbling in the supernatural and bringing things in that you don't want . The way all but one of the De Feos were face-down dead in their beds is puzzling. How could Butch have done that on his own? Dawn was in a different position and had been shot in the face. There's been some speculation she was in on the killings with Butch who then killed her. Things don't add up in the murder case and I figure we'll never know just what happened.

Sadly, not everyone's mental illnesses are taken care of. I am mentally ill and I'm on medication and in counseling, and I can say that if you're mental and not on meds or in counseling or both, then you should not be allowed to be in society if your mental health poses a risk to others around you. I can honestly say that yes, I've had homicidal thoughts, but only towards people who did me wrong that I never got justice for, but I enjoy my freedom too much to worry about taking someone's life. Besides, that's God's job to pick and choose who lives and who doesn't, not mine. I'd rather keep a journal like I'm doing, continue counseling and stay on my meds. It's not hard. It's actually amazing how medication and counseling can put your psychotic condition under control to the point where you can actually function "normally" in society. Meds will never make us "normal" per se, but I believe it keeps people like this guy from murdering people. God, the last thing I'd ever want is to harm someone. You could probably punch me in the face today and I'd most likely just turn around and walk away, because it's all I got left in me.

I never lived in New York, let alone Amityville. I grew up in New Jersey. I was 10 years old when the first movie came out. By the time I was a young teenager, I had my doubts about George and Kathy’s story. Shame on them for overshadowing what really happened to the Defeos. After much research, I found out the Lutz’s story is easy to refute. Thank you for the video.

Read the book when it first came out, having just seen the author interviewed on a TV talk show, so it was before all the debunking that came along in the insuring years. I was living in a somewhat isolated cabin at the time, and I WAS TERRIFIED!! I turned on evey light in the place, and I made more than several long- distance phone calls to my mother!

@moseschrute

Back in those days caskets could be buried stacked on each other (in vaults) from the looks of the headstone this is a triple plot and Mom and the 2 daughters were placed on the left (first stack of 3), Dad and the 2 sons in the middle plot (second stack of three) and empty space left on the right for the 2 grandparents who died later on. In the picture of the caskets at the cemetery you can see white boxes to the left, those would be the burial vaults each casket went into before being interred. My parents just pre-bought their plot and while today you can purchase a double or triple plot our cemetery only allows 2 stacked burials max per plot

I believe that headstone for the Defoe's is new.

Of course as a naive teen I believed the Lutz' story but I haven't believed it for a long time due to hearing none of the other families who lived there experienced anything paranormal. It was bogus and to make money out of lies is plain wrong.

Nice work, love this commentary. The neighborhood somewhat reminds of Haddonfield, IL in "Halloween", 1978. Also, many years ago we went to a bridal shower in Amityville and passed the house on Ocean Ave. My sister literally got physically sick as we went past 112 Ocean Ave. There's definitely a lot of evil there because of what happened.

I'd love to know how this home was sooooo demonic for that one family but no other. Sicko family just wanted to profit from this tragedy, and that is very wrong to exploit the Defeo's in such a way.

What a good explanation of this story! The way Butch & George both flipped out in that house makes me wonder if there was black mold inside somewhere. Not everyone reacts the same to ingesting these spores. I grew up on water and houses tend to have high humidity in them, easily growing mold, especially in those days before air conditioning. I got mold poisoning 10 years ago after our basement flooded. Mild cases may be respiratory & nauseating but the worst is when it gets into your brain. This can cause hallucinations in some. It took a year of air baths (being outside hours everyday) for my symptoms to improve, but it never goes away. Any further exposure will bring this back. Maybe these two were sensitive to one of the toxic molds? IDK.

Rocco and Antoinette must be the grandparents…how sad 😞

I was a child when the movie was released, and a toddler when the murders happened. Its hard to believe these children have been underground, this whole time, while many of their classmates are still living their lives. Cold-blooded murders at the hands of their own brother.

This was an EXCELLENT location visit. Its a sad, scary story of their lives and death, but you were very informative about the entire incident. GREAT Work. *If you ever get back to Las Vegas, do a story about Ted Binion, if you haven't already.

The Conjuring two movie opening scene is about Amityville. But not the entire movie.

Danny Lutz did a whole documentary about his experiences there, he wasn’t too young to recall. Evil surrounds tragic and gruesome murders. Whether it started with Butch’s interest in the occult and was activated by George’s as well, Kathy never wavered in the experiences they had in their short time in the home. Abruptly leaving everything behind just 28 days into a new mortgage makes no sense to me. While the movie industry made millions, you can hardly say the Lutz’s profited. It is very possible for some to have paranormal experiences while others in the same space do not. I have personal experiences in a haunted home I lived in years ago that still give me nightmares to this day while some of the others didn’t see anything yet several of us did during the time we spent there. It’s very sad what happened to the DeFeos, but I believe somewhere in between the lives of the two families, a doorway was open and evil presented itself.

@@novelist99 I believe it. It’s so frustrating when there are many naysayers out there that call them frauds. I’ve seen comments on other channels. They don’t realize that George wasn’t a good man, according to Danny, and you would know best. I know I’ve experienced the paranormal and it is very real. My dad’s old house was haunted. He also purchased for very cheap due to a suicide that had taken place in what ended up being the bedroom I shared with my sister. I lived in the home from when I was a small child then moved back in for about a year in my twenties. Only my father, me and my boyfriend later, had pretty extreme experiences. My sister never saw or heard a thing. Just because no other owners ever reported anything, doesn’t mean people haven’t experienced things all this time, and if not, they should consider themselves lucky. In my opinion, George & Butch opened doorways to darkness in that home. I think back to our home and I don’t know how I ever stayed there.

Hey Lamont, love your videos. When I was about 7-11 years old we had a cemetery in the back of our land and I would go out there for hours by myself and wonder about the lives of the people that once were. Live is so short here on earth but their is a life after death and the promises that the lord and savior Jesus christ gives in the Bible is the answer. 1 cor 15 : 1-4 tells us if we believe with all our heart that he died and shead his blood for all and that he was buried and that he rose again on the 3rd day, we will live in eternity with him forever. We all have that adamic nature in us but simply believing is the gospel, im praying for you Lamont because I know deep down inside you are a very decent person searching for the truth. God bless you and inlighten you to the truth that Jesus laid down his life for all who would simply believe

I am from the Bronx NYC and I remember this. There weren't a lot of murders like this back then, even in New York. People from 'the city' considered this some 'upstate crazy shit'. It was before the movie, the 'Amityville demons' and all that. I was a little kid and was scared the murderer was going to come kill us, because kids had been killed in their beds....................

When the house sold for 80K, it was still a very expensive property, when you consider the average cost of a home was around 25K at the same time. In fact some starter homes were around the 12-15K mark. The Lutz's were in over their heads financially and didn't even have enough money to make the first mortgage payment.
