The Amityville Hauntings
Listen now
Description
On November 13, 1974, Ronald Defeo Jr. burst into a local bar pleading for help. When bar patrons arrived at his house they found six of his relatives dead, each shot at point-blank range. The grisly murders then led to a theatrical trial where Defeo claimed he was mentally insane due to numerous voices in his head that commanded him to kill his family. After Defeo’s conviction for the murders, the Lutz family, believing that they were getting a bargain, quickly bought the house the Defeo’s were murdered in, including much of the Defeo’s old furniture. 28 days later, the Lutz family fled the house claiming that 112 Ocean Ave. was haunted by malevolent forces. The Lutz family claim was backed up by renowned paranormal researchers Ed and Lorraine Warren, who stated that 112 Ocean Ave. in Amityville New York was the most evil they had ever encountered in one place. What is the nature of pure evil? Does evil manifest in people and places through supernatural means or are there other explanations at work? Join us as Drs. Micono and Morelos discuss the legend of the Amityville Haunting.
