218: The Amityville Horror | USA

In 1974, the quiet suburban town of Amityville, New York, was rocked by a horrifying crime. Ronald DeFeo Jr. brutally murdered his entire family – his parents and four younger siblings – as they slept in their beds. Just over a year later, George and Kathy Lutz moved into the same house, only to flee 28 days later, claiming the home was plagued by terrifying paranormal activity. Was the infamous Amityville Horror story a true haunting, or was it all an elaborate hoax? Join us as we delve into the chilling events surrounding the DeFeo murders, the Lutz family's ordeal, and the ongoing mystery that continues to captivate the world.
