two Connecticut paranormal investigators who died in 2006 and 2019, respectively. The couple first rose to prominence in 1975, when they looked into a case in Amityville, New York, involving the Lutz family.in 2013. “It was absolutely horrible. It followed us right straight across the country. I don’t even like to talk about it. I will never go in the Amityville house ever again. You don’t know how long my career is; that’s the only one.
According to Amityville lore, the Lutzes claimed they were being tormented by some kind of paranormal entity in their new Long Island home, which they bought for a suspiciously low price. During their time there, they said they saw furniture moving by itself and red eyes peering out at them from corners, among other things. They moved out of the house after just 28 days.
While their claims were later disputed, one part of the story, at least, was true: previous resident Ronald DeFeo Jr. had murdered six members of his family in the house in 1974. He was convicted on six counts of second-degree murder and given a prison sentence of 25 years to life in December 1975 — the same month that the Lutzes moved in., which became a movie of the same name in 1979.
