28 Days in the Amityville Horror House | What Really Happened at 112 Ocean Avenue

On the thirteenth of November nineteen seventy-four, six members of the DeFeo family were shot in their beds at 112 Ocean Avenue, Amityville. No neighbour reported hearing gunfire. One reported a dog howling. Thirteen months later, George and Kathy Lutz bought that house for eighty thousand dollars. They moved in with three children two days before Christmas. They left twenty-eight days later and never spent another night there. What they said happened inside those twenty-eight days became the most famous haunting in the world a book, a film, and half a century of argument. This video tells it the way they told it, in order, without smoothing it. And then it goes and checks. It checks the window that was supposedly torn off its hinges. It checks the priest, the police, the weather, the paperwork, and the people who lived in that house afterwards and reported nothing at all. It goes back to a lawyer's office where three people sat down together in the winter of nineteen seventy-six, and to what one of them said about that meeting years later. And it ends where it started, with the six people whose deaths the story was built on. ⏱ TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 — Fifteen Minutes 01:12 — Chapter One: The Family at 112 Ocean Avenue 13:42 — Chapter Two: The Trial and the Eighty Thousand 20:43 — Chapter Three: Twenty-Eight Days 33:32 — Chapter Four: The Office in Patchogue 43:06 — Chapter Five: What the Checks Showed 52:40 — Chapter Six: The Children 1:02:11 — Outro: The House Is Still Standing
