Join Christian and Kate as they examine the real crime behind one of the most infamous haunted houses in America. Before the red eyes in the windows, before the bestselling books and horror films, there were six murders inside a quiet suburban home at 112 Ocean Avenue in Amityville, New York.

In this episode, we focus on the DeFeo family and the events of November 13, 1974. We explore the troubled life of Ronald “Butch” DeFeo Jr., the violence that reportedly simmered inside the household, the investigation that followed the killings, and the evidence that led to his conviction. This is the documented history — the police reports, the courtroom testimony, and the unanswered questions that remain.

Before Amityville became a story about hauntings, it was a homicide case that shocked Long Island and left a house forever marked by tragedy.
