Welcome back to Ghost October and the Amityville Horror House! Last week we brought you the story of Ronald "Butch" DeFeo who murdered his entire family in cold blood, and today we bring you the story of the Lutz Family who moved into the notorious house afterwards, and whose chilling paranormal experiences were the basis of the book and movie The Amityville Horror.

Was it true? Was it a hoax? Or was it all a bizarre quaalude induced hallucination? Should the real title be the Amityville Quaalude Horror?

Join us and find out! Happy Spooky Season!

The story of Butch DeFeo and the Amityville Horror House Massacre is like a Sopranos Halloween Special.

The mystery of how six people could be shot, one after the other, with an incredibly loud, high-powered hunting rifle, none of them waking up and just lying in their beds peacefully sleeping, the neighbors not hearing a thing, endures to this day.

Join us as we go over all the many theories of the murders which would eventually lead to one of the most famous haunted house tales in the history of the world: the Amityville Horror.
