When george and kathy lutz moved into a three story colonial in amityville on new yorks long island in december 1975 , they were thrilled
The sprawling house at 112 ocean avenue had cost them just $80,000, and they loved it "it was a dream come true,"
True the house had been the scene of a horrible multiple murder a little over a year before, when 23 year old ronnie de feo went from room to room methodically shooting his parents and his four brothers and sisters in their beds. But the lutzes sat down with there three young children and agreed the family could handle it
Just in case though, the day they moved in they had a priest, father ray pecoraro , bless the house. According to lutz, the priest said he felt an unseen hand slap in the sewing room and heard a voice say get out then lutz says peecaro became ill with some symptoms and his hands began to bleed
The family moved in amyway but withindays they began to notice strange phenomena
"There were odours in the house that came and went" there were some whispering sounds in the living room the front door would slam shut in the middle of the night i couldnt get warm in the house for several days
Lutz says the family kept the fireplace burning day and night in a futile attempt to stay warm, and found strange gelatinous drop on the carpet when they woke up at times he claims, his wife was physically transformed into an old woman with the face hair and wrinkles like a 90 yr old
Lutz claims that he mysteriously woke up at 3:15am almost every day arround the sametime the defeo murders were believed to have happened one night he says he herd his childrens bed "slamming up and down on the floor" above he was unable to do anything because he was immobilized in bed by an unseen force later that night he woke to see his wife levitating and moving accross the bed he says the lutz family fled the house leaving their clothes in the closets and food in the refrigirator
