My Amityville Horror Page #2

harmful to them so I don't really think

that they were relating to me as a

reporter they certainly knew

how I came to know caffeine George

I i think that there was some natural

tension there

because this was us it was stepfather

Danny

was was naturally more taciturn more

self-contained

but he was always watching he was always

very very aware of what was going on

just as I was putting together a series

on different aspects of psychic

phenomenon for the station

Channel 5 News the story about the

Lutz's

and their experience in 112 Ocean Avenue

word the Amityville Horror houses it's

now come to be known

broke in New York Newsday everyone was

trying to get in touch with them

and it took me a couple of weeks nobody

knew where they were once they had done

a press conference they basically went

underground

I finally managed to leave messages for

them in track them down and

George Lutz called me and asked me if I

would come and meet with them because I

told them I have good contacts

in the field parapsychology so I did

go out and meet with George Lutz and his

family on surveying firm at the time we

had a nice conversation he took me back

to his mother in laws house

to meet cathy his wife and the three

kids that's where they were staying

and over the course of a five-hour

conversation where they told me about

their story they decided

that I was someone that they could trust

in that they would allow channel 5 tap

the exclusive on the story

so that's how it all started

on November 13th 1974

the house at 112 Ocean Avenue Amityville

became the site of a notorious mass

murder

23-year-old Ronald to fail junior shot

to death his father

mother two brothers and two sisters with

a 35 caliber Marlin rifle

all six victims were discovered by

police face-down in their beds

apparently unmoved and each murdered

while sleeping

good

toxicology reports approved the family

was not

thread no silencer had been used on the

weapon

lingering questions surrounding these

murders have remained for nearly forty

years

giving way to wild conspiracy theories

on whether or not to fail could have

committed these crimes alone

well at first just moving into the house

was fine it's a lovely house

and we enjoyed moving within a week

cathy's handed untouched by something

that we discussed

couldn't explain it was just something

unseen bills or to fly said

here to and Matt

coming times cal

green the lots family purchased the

house

at the reduced prices eighty thousand

dollars very shortly after moving in

the family claim to have begun

experiencing mounting paranormal

phenomena

cold spots were discovered randomly

throughout the house

georgian Kathy claim to have witnessed

to red eyes peering in at them from the

upstairs bedroom window

jolting sounds with wake the family

during the night

my son Danny hands work on

in the window in the sewing room and

they were flat and is

in just slammed I was was most in such a

way that his hands were actually to form

they were flat thing going downstairs

and found a calming down

is pretty much impossible gonna we've

and look at it and then is fine

it didn't occur to us until much later

that

house never really wanted us to leave

the family fled the house on january 14

1976 none the subsequent families who

have lived in the house since

have reported anything usual people we

talked to seem to feel that whatever was

the motive for this crime

it had something to do with the family

it's not something that's going to

return to bother anyone else

it will be interesting to see

what Danny feels after all these years

what's also

I think fascinating is how much

love what he remembers actually happened

and how much

in does he think what happened I knew

the child

I don't know the man and yet Amityville

is a thread and actually something that

has defined

he and his siblings for their lives so

I'd like to know how is it impacting

you wanna see if he's come to terms

with that this he feels this is Israel

she

do you mean good what you been up to for

the last thirty years

been hanging in here for a while ok said

last time I saw you

you are helping your mother do dishes

in the kitchen at the San Diego house

you came to San

you yes one other things about the lots

is that struck me immediately was

they were not seeking publicity

they were very very normal they were

young suburban couple

the three kids were very very nice if

you know any better they were just like

the couple next door

I mean when you heard the story it

sounded like they had been visited by

just about every form a Paris

psychological play in existence

I offered to put them in touch with

Paris psychologist

like marine Warren they accepted that

and basically at that point they said

okay

now on anything we do you can have the

exclusive there are only two conditions

one you could you don't go into the

house by yourself you go in with

reputable Paris psychologist

you know be great if you can get it

whole team up our psychologist in there

so everybody to do their thing and read

the house

0 what was ever in their to we wanted

our Privacy respect is what they asked

me and they definitely wanted the kids

kept down a bit

the family's privacy and you reporting

love

yes okay com like we would

we're gonna go to your schools and take

pictures start interviewing

you anything Danny oh I wish somebody

would have

what happened well but you are a minor

child

and don't forget this very good at

speaking for myself what would you have

said if you could have spoken for

yourself

are spread all told everything that

happened

exactly the way it happened while it is

fresh in my mind as you can possibly be

now it's an interesting statement I mean

how fresh or dim is it your mind

now solve their I wish I could get were

us

said something that has been in my

dreams

tire life Harry was going through

episode while the garage

was on the possession outcall

yeah job was going holistic

and torches to keep on a leash

in pair but it was just long enough for

him to jump over the fence

for I went out there to try to get

from whose

fighting so much I was

fairly strong enough to rolled back over

the fence

but that seems me has been

a reoccurring dream probably five

hundred

time whatever life sometimes I would be

Harry sometimes

Harry would be me sometimes I tried to

kill him sometimes he tried to kill me

times there was nothing wrong with the

garage other times I thought I knew what

was wrong

the garage I mean I wasn't there for a

while

again it's never about dreams about the

emotions

fled it's kind of hard for me to explain

to some people

I would like to think that find a guide

Arctic trying to explain gap which

I don't I could just bring up I had

no knowledge of murder

news I did you know it anything about it

day we showed up to a good
