A man named John Ketcham lived where the house of the horror stands now,He killed and tortured and slaugtered indians there in secret..He cut his own throat so that his spirit would live there forever...A family buys a house hundreds of years later,the house is standing on the same place where Ketcham lived..It was the Defeo family with 2 sons and two daugters..They lived in the house and they heared strange sounds and Ronnie Defeo was getting angry because the family was acting strange to him.He moved to the basement and heard voices saying Catch em' Kill em'..He was getting so possesed and shot his sisters his brother and his parents.Then he ran into a bar and asked if they would call police.Defeo was put in jail and he said there where voices that made him do it..One year later the family Lutz buys the house aware of the crime scene that happened there. As the Lutz's settled into their new home... things continued to occur, but only gradually. "The house was very patient... it was willing to wait", George recalled.

 

Mysterious and repulsive odors pervaded the home. A strange green jello like substance leaked from the walls. The toilet bowls began to turn black. Swarms of houseflies were found time and time again in the sewing room. Strange drops of black goo oozed from the keyholes in the doors. Small indicators that something was wrong inside the house at 112 Ocean Avenue.

 

Personality changes also began to affect the Lutz family. George would suddenly awake precisely at 3:15 am each morning... with an uncontrollable urge to check the boathouse. He would go for days without bathing. George was often sick, losing a lot of weight, and energy. Kathy began having nightmares. The children often fought and argued with one another.

 

Then, the noises came. Footsteps could be heard walking about the house. "In the middle of night, you would hear the front door slam... it was a very distinctive sound". George would rush down the stairs to the front entrance... only to find Harry the dog sleeping at the foot of the door. It was obvious that he hadn't been disturbed, yet George distinctly remembers hearing the front door slam. "It was the only door in the house that made that type of sound, I knew what I had just heard ".

 

George would also hear a strange sound at night... like a clock radio going off. "It sounded like a clock radio that was tuned slightly off station, or a marching band that was tuning up. An unorganized musical sound, coming from downstairs. At first I thought it was indeed a radio that may have gone off... ". George would again reach the first floor, to find the rug rolled back and furniture moved.

 

When the Lutz's invited people over to their new home, many of their guests would also witness the noises, and hear the footsteps walking about in the rooms above their heads from the kitchen. "We would ask them if they had heard that, and we would go upstairs and find the kids asleep... and their would be no way to explain this".

 

One of the Lutz's guests who witnessed this explained to them that he had also lived in a house that was besieged by similar noises when he was a kid. He would hear footsteps, and bangings as well. One of the things he remembered was that his parents used to open the windows... and go through the house saying the Lord's Prayer. "He said it had worked for them, as a child he had done this... and it sounded like a reasonable thing." So the Lutz's decided to give it a try.

 

They opened one of the windows in each room of the house. Together, they went around from room to room, reciting the Lord's Prayer. In George's words, "It didn't work".

 

From out of nowhere, many voices screamed at them 'Will You Please Stop!". George eventually searched the house for speakers that might have been hidden, thinking someone was playing a cruel joke on them. None were found.

 

It was obvious to the Lutz's by now, that whatever was occurring in the house, it wasn't going to be fixed simply by them telling it to leave.

 

One of the most frightening aspects of the Amityville haunting was the apparitions that manifested inside the home. Kathy would be in the kitchen, and suddenly feel a presence embracing her from behind. They would also see things peering in through the windows at them at night. Shadows would move about the house. Then George and Kathy began to notice that their daughter Missy had begun interacting with an imaginary friend named "Jodie".

 

When it comes to the topic of 'Jodie", it was obvious to me that this was something George Lutz was not comfortable talking about. He took on a very serious tone, and often hesitated before he spoke. "Our daughter came to Kathy one day and asked her if angels talked, and started talking about her imaginary friend. Missy had someone that she spoke of, and she called this... entity, or thing.. person... 'Jodie'. At the time, we thought that it was just an imaginary friend". George continued, "You know, it's a pretty funny thought to have kids with imaginary friends. It's not so funny when the 'imaginary friends' have things that they are trying to influence upon your children".

 

Lutz went on to explain that, "Missy had a friend, she called him 'Jodie'. Jodie had the ability to change form, and for Missy, she thought it was a good thing. We also did too, having an imaginary friend like that, until Jodie said, 'Your going to live here forever'. That was too strange a thing to come from a four or five year old kid".

 

Things were rapidly escalating in the house. Again, George and Kathy would see eyes peering in at them in the living room. George raced out of the house after the culprit... only to find hoofprints leading away in the fallen snow. One night Kathy launched a chair towards the eyes that were peering in from Missy's bedroom window. The sound of a squealing pig pierced the night air.

 

It was time to leave their 'dream home'.

 

The last night in the house, we knew that there was a terrible, terrific storm going on outside. Later, people checked the weather reports for the area, and say that there was no such storm. I don't really care what the weatherman said. For us.. there was a storm raging that night". - George Lutz.

 

The Lutz's had never intended on abandoning their home. But the events unfolding night after night were becoming unbearable. The plan was simply to spend some time away from the house... and sort things out. Figure out what was going on. So arrangements were made to spend time at Kathy's mothers house.

 

The events that occurred on the final day in the home are somewhat unclear to this writer, George Lutz refused to talk about that day at Penn State. Several attempts by Lou Gentile and a few of the audience members to uncover the details of the final day went unanswered. George would only comment, "There are stories about this that have never been told. They may never be told".

 

While researching the Amityville case however, I did manage to uncover a few details about the last day in the home. Suddenly there was a great rush on the part of the Lutz's to leave the home. During the time they made attempts to pack a few items together, things rapidly went from bad... to worse.

 

The family managed to grab a few changes of clothing, while the temperature inside the home fluctuated from chilling cold, to hot. Strange banging noises were heard, and the interior walls of the house seemed to shift about, making groaning noises. And... as they were leaving the home, George encountered another apparition on the second floor landing. This time.. a hooded figure that stood motionless, pointing directly at George Lutz.

 

At the end of the radio show - George Lutz showed a series of photographs that were taken at Amityville by investigators. The photographs... are startling.

 

George began by showing various slides taken throughout the house so that people could get a feel for what the home looked like. On the day the investigators were there, the house looked as if it had been abandoned in haste. Clothes were thrown about... food sat stocked in the refrigerators. Plants left on the window sills had withered away.

 

Other photographs taken both inside and from outside the home showed misty faces peering through the windows. One photograph showed the strange ghostly figure of a young boy standing on the second floor landing... another photograph showed an entity manifesting out of a wall, peering down at the investigators. The pictures deeply disturbed me... they had the ring of truth to them.

 

In closing, a member of the audience asked Mr. Lutz, "Why do you think it is important to inform people about what happened at Amityville". George took a moment to ponder the question, then softly stated, "You see... you may never go through this. But in your lifetime, as this kind of thing gets talked about more and more, and as we learn more... it's likely in one way or another that you will hear of this kind of thing. This stuff happens... it happens everyday, there are people in this room tonight that can tell you all kinds of stories about things locally, that happen right here".

 

George continued, "It's my prayer that everyone in this room never go through such a thing. But if you know someone that does, the hardest thing for those people is the loss of being able to communicate with anyone else about it. Not being able to find anyone that can intelligently help them. It's not talked about, it's not understood.... and when it happens to you, you become an alien to everyone else".

 

This is the WHOLE TRUE story,it actually happened..The priest who blessed the house said he didn't feel comfterble in a room,the sewing room and told them not use it as a bedroom.When the priest was blessing the house he heard a disembodied voice say GET OUT.He fleed and never finished the blessing.. When Defeo shoots six family members nowhone hears the gunshots how strange..The neighbours didn't hear anything though the houses are close to each other...I believe that it's true...

Watch the movie stoned... lol Never saw the movie, I never could watch really scarey horror movies... The killing the indians thing sounds believable, but everything else is a bit too out there.

 

And I dont think you need to be a believer in a god/gods/goddess to believe in souls and a here-after... :p
