Episode 121: George and Kathy Lutz and the Amityville Horror

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!
