Six of seven members of the Ronald DeFeo family had been methodically murdered as they slept in their beds, leaving Ronald DeFeo, Jr., as the sole survivor of the grisly suburban bloodbath. After the home was cleaned and restored a couple named Lutz bought the house and after only 28 days fled from the home. During the course of the so called haunting, Ed and Lorraine Warren were called in to investigate the haunting of the home. While the findings have been grossly exaggerated, it was later admitted by the Lutz attorney and in order to help the Lutzes get out from under a very heavy mortgage, the story was fabricated in part and in gross exageration. Later a book was written about the house at 112 Ocean Ave, and later a moviw. The facts stated in both the book and movie were also grossly exaggerated as stated by one of the sons of the Lutzes. The house has had several new owners since the DrFeo murders and only the Lutzes reported any disturbances in the home, The home has since been renovated and the half moon windows removed for regular windows. The story of the DeFeo murders along with the story from the Lutzes have led to the long controversy over the home being truly haunted. Regardless of haunted or not, the murders were committed by a very disturbed Ronny Defeo and hollywood has had a field day with the story. The movie: The Amityville Horror
