BUT HAS ANYTHING ELSE

UNEXPLAINABLE HAPPENED HERE?

WELL, OUR SON FEL LIKE THAT THERE WAS A--

NO, NO.

NO, WHOA, WHOA.

WHAT'D YOUR SON SAY?

I MEAN, OUR SON, HE

RUNS AROUND WITH A CAMERA

AND FILMS STUFF,

AND, YOU KNOW,

HE SAY:

SHE SEES WEIRD THINGS,

BUT THERE'S REALLY

NOTHING THAT HAS HAPPENED

BESIDES, I MEAN,

THE STUFF YOU KNOW ABOUT.

RIGHT. BUT IN ADDITION TO

THAT, HAS ANYTHING ELSE--

WELL, THERE'S--UNEXPLAIN

ABLE HAPPENED?

I MEAN, THIS IS SOME PRETTY

CRAZY STUFF OUT THERE.

WHAT--WHAT--

YEAH. THE ALARM HAS GONE OFF.

THE ALARM HAS GONE OFF.

THE ALARM WENT OFF TWICE.

ANY SIGN OF A BREAK-IN OR

ANYTHING LIKE THAT?

FORCED ENTRY?

NO. THE DOORS WERE OPEN AND

WE HAD LOCKED THEM.

THE DOORS WERE OPEN

AFTER YOU'D LOCKED THEM BOTH.

BESIDES LAST NIGHT, THE

NIGHT BEFORE, I GOT UP.

AS FAR AS I KNOW,

WE LOCKED THE DOORS

WHEN WE WENT TO BED,

BUT I GOT UP AND THE DOOR

WAS WIDE OPEN.

THESE DOORS RIGHT HERE.

THE ALARM WENT OFF,

YOU KNOW,

LAST NIGH AND THE NIGHT BEFORE.

AT THE SAME TIME.

YOU FOLKS AREN'T FROM

AROUND HERE, ARE YOU?

NO.NO.

NO? BUT YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH

THE HISTORY OF THIS HOUSE?

I MEAN, GENERALLY.

AS FAR AS THE MOVIES,THE

BOOKS, EVERYTHING LIKE THAT?

YEAH.

OF COURSE.

THEN YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED HERE

IN THE SEVENTIES, RIGHT?

BECAUSE THAT REALLY HAPPENED.

THIS KID NAMED RONNIE

DEFEOOFFED HIS MA, HIS PA,

HIS TWO LITTLE BROTHERS,

AND HIS SISTERS.

[VIBRATION]

ALL RIGHT.

THEY KILLED SIX PEOPLE.

[GASP]

NOW, AFTER THAT, THE

BOOK, THE MOVIE CAME OUT.

YOU'RE ALL

FAMILIAR WITH THAT.

BUT EVERYONE THOUGH AT SOME POIN THAT RONNIE WAS

RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MURDERS...

[BUZZING]

...THAT HE WASN' THE ONE BEHIND IT.

IT WAS HIS SISTER

AND SOME OTHER ACCOMPLICE.

THEY DON'T KNOW WHO

THE THIRD GUY IS,

BUT IT TURNS OU THAT RONNIE DEFEO,

ACCORDING TO THIS LETTER,

WAS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE

KILLING OF HIS FAMILY.

IT WAS HIS SISTER

WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE.

NOW, THIS LETTER CAME

OUT, WHAT, LIKE, 1998, 1999,

ABOUT 12, 11 YEARS AGO.

[BUZZING]

AND SINCE THAT TIME,

THERE HAVE BEEN EIGH DIFFERENT FAMILIES

WHO LIVED IN THIS HOUSE.

AND BEFORE THAT THERE

WERE MAYBE FOUR OR FIVE,

AND WE'RE TALKING

ABOUT 75 YEARS

OF THIS HOUSE:

BEING IN THIS AREA.

BUT WITHIN THE LAST 12 YEARS,

THERE HAVE BEEN EIGH DIFFERENT FAMILIES WHO LIVED HERE.

ALL RIGHT. SO, OKAY.

THERE'S BEEN EIGH DIFFERENT FAMILIES. SO--

BUT NOTHING:

HAS HAPPENED TO THEM.

[VIBRATION STOPS] NOTHING HAS

HAPPENED TO THEM, BUT...

[BUZZING]

I DON'T THINK ONE FAMILY

HAS STAYED HERE:

LONGER THAN ONE,

TWO MONTHS, MAYBE TOPS.

DID THEY GIVE A REASON

WHY THEY MOVED?

NO, JUST UP AND LEFT.

MOST OF THEM EVEN LEFT THEIR

DEPOSITS ON THE HOUSE.

HUH.

YOU GOT THE PLACE

PRETTY CHEAP, DIDN'T YOU?

YEAH.

YES.

YOU DIDN'T GIVE ANY MORE

THOUGHT ABOUT THAT,

WHY IT MIGHT BE:

SO REASONABLE?

WELL, WE WANTED

TO THINK ABOUT-- HONEY.

ALL RIGHT, LOOK,

I'M SORRY I EVEN

SAID ANYTHING. LOOK--

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

IT'S FINE.

THE BEST THING:

I CAN SAY RIGHT NOW

IS THAT WE'RE GOING TO FIND

OUT WHAT WE CAN WITH FORENSICS

AND GET BACK TO YOU AS

SOON AS POSSIBLE, ALL RIGHT?

WE APPRECIATE THAT.

THANK YOU.

IF YOU NEED ANYTHING,

I'LL BE IN HERE.

THIS HOUSE, RIGHT?
