There’s more to the selling information, and it makes for the best trivia ever. The estate of the original owners sold the house to the Belfords in 1960, and they had an 11 year old daughter, Christine with them. After 5 years, the mom and dad got a divorce and sold the house to the ill-fated DeFeos in 1965, and daughter Christine Belford eventually became a successful actress in the 80’s and 90’s playing Steve Sanders’ mom on Beverly Hills, 90210, and also was in the movie “Christine,” and “The Greatest American Hero.” She’s a very familiar face if you look her up.
@@InvestorsRealEstateWinterPark Real quick...one correction, I just looked her up and her maiden name was "Riley." So it would have been the Rileys, not the Belford's. My bad.
We knew the Cromarty's quite well. Live 2 blocks away from there. Spent a decent amount of time at the house, but never picked up on anything out of the ordinary. They've really renovated it nicely over the years.
When people say that a 100 year old house is old, I’m like naaa. Mates house is 500 years old and the school was built in the 1300s. 100 is normal for where I live!
I was looking at the house recently on Google Maps and street view has that house and several next to it completely blurred. It's such a beautiful house and the renovations have done a great job of freshening up the place. I'd love there in a heartbeat. I personally believe the Lutz family made everything up to get out of living in a house they couldn't afford in the first place. But it blew up more than they expected. The murders were terrible but the killer died in prison. Let the house have an existence not stained with that story.
Google maps is retarded. Not like we can't find it, regardless of address change, window change, new color, blurred map image. Seriously...if you wanna find it , you can and will
Those windows were already square when I passed by the home when I was 14 in 1986. Interesting to find out from your video the Cromarty’s we’re still there back then.
The Cromarty's, who got all butthurt cuz of tourists and such wanting to come see it. They knew what house they were moving in to. Could they be more stupid? They actually thought it'd be peaceful living there??? 🤦
It is well known one of the children fell out of a body bag as they were carrying it out of the house. Imagine the trauma in your mind of seeing such a horrid site. Just knowing none of the children's bodies moved from their sleeping positions according to the detectives is bewildering. The Indians who were massacred & tortured in that area were layed in the graves face down. The entire Defeo family was found dead facedown in their beds! Not one neighbor heard the sound of the marlin rifle go off 8 times. A gun & rifle specialist said you can hear a blast from one from at least 3 blocks away, that is about 1 mile. If that is not demonic, then what would you call it. In Ronnie Juniors confession he mentioned he would hear voices in the house & there was nobody there. He said something was moving through me & I couldn't stop. Ronnie Sr. got the house exorcised & all these angelic statues put outside his house. Ronnie Sr. said he had a devil on his back. There is so much more that reveals the great possibility supernatural happenings occurred in this house. All the Lutzes children admitted to a demonic prevalence existing in the home.
You've done your homework. Sadly, some people who do videos on this do not have their facts straight. Many make a joke of it, which I find offensive. I have been facinated in this story since I read the book about it by Jay Hanson when it came out. I was about 12 years old in 1974 when the murders too place. Also went to Ed & Lorraine Warrens lecture in Toledo, Ohio when they came here in late '70's-1980. They were very interesting!
Butch DeFeo told so many lies that I wouldn't have believed him if he had said the sky was blue unless I walked outside to verify it for myself. It's also well documented that the DeFeo defense attorney, George Lutz and Jay Anson all got together & had a "brainstorming session' over several days about the book. Why would Butch's attorney be involved unless he was trying to get material for an appeal for his client? And lastly, the people who bought the house after the Lutz scam happened video taped the inside of the house and the front door to prove that nothing that they had claimed had been destroyed the night of their "escape"...the eye like windows were intact, the original staircase was intact & had not collapsed as was claimed, nor had the original front door been ripped from its hinges as they had claimed. The priest who was supposedly told by a demon to "get out" also said years later that he had NEVER visited the house & had only spoken to George by phone. Truth never changes...only lies get imbellished over time.
I was wondering the other day about the history of ownership after watching a new documentary on the murders and haunting. I don’t think I’d want to live there. Not because I believe it’s haunted but all the attention. Maybe almost 50 years after it all happened it doesn’t draw as much but still.
So many people live in homes where someone died, whether it was murder, suicide, accidental, sudden medical death or hospice, and they never even know it. I would try to buy that house if I ever won the lottery 🤣🤣🤣. I would restore the windows because I have always loved them.
If I win the lottery, I'll offer a boatload of money for the house, survey/research the entire property for anything historical, then replace the swimming pool.
I'm not sure, but I think when they sell a House that they must disclose if their was a Tragedy or Murder in the dwelling House. Let me know if I'm wrong!✝️😏
Honestly I would live in this house because it just doesn't bother me. I don't believe in ghosts or haunted houses. If I got this house at a 50% discount or something insanely crazy I would be in line to buy all the same and live there and not give it a second thought. I do not like the history of the home or the celebrity status I don't like fact a son murdered his family and siblings in the house... that's my only downside in consideration when purchasing it. I also believe George just got in over his head because that would be something shy of $500,000 today and George ran a small personal construction company? That's a heft payment to come up with in winter months when jobs are slow!
My grandmother had that book, I remember reading it when I was younger, the book is better than the movie but both r scary 🫣 I googled it years ago and it said it was all a myth, so who knows

Thanks so much for sharing! Thats a really good side note. I have to make a short for that. Thanks again.

I'm sure it would feel weird knowing the deaths that happened in there
kool video informative
All houses have history especially in UK

It's true my primary school is listed it's crazy 100 years is nothing 😂@@jessicapayne8622

What an interesting take on a supposed haunted house . Always wondered what it sold for. Thanks for the video .
More haunted houses and what they sold for would be a really unique channel !
The haunting was a hoax. They never unpacked and only stayed for 10 days. They were drug buddies with Butch. It was all staged.
Very interesting info, TFS.
Thank you for commenting!

Good to know. Not sure exactly when all the renovations happened.

Thank you for the true story!😇

If you want a full story of Amityville House please do watch this video
Nice house
Look at my quick video of the inside of the Amityville house.
I just looked up the house on Google Earth. It’s blurred out. Silly Google.
I would live in that house! I lived, in a haunted, house in Maryland!

$305K, even in 1997 money feels quite low. The market must have been terrible then.
Yes it crashed in 1990 and foreclosures started and hit rock bott9n in 1996 1997

For what you get is a good deal.
Is it still empty cuz i want to buy it i would cleanse it im a spiritual person
Why wasn't more research done into the history of this house following the murders and then what the Lutz experienced?
If I win the lottery, I'll offer a boatload of money for the house, survey/research the entire property for anything historical, then replace the swimming pool.
And that’s why you will
Never win the lottery

Wast a shotgun it was a high powerd rifle

For decades people have lived there with no issues at all which says a lot
Couldn't give me the house...
George Lutz did look like the killer. Maybe that's why the paranormal activity happened when he was there.
Glad you didnt make up lies about it being haunted
Load of crap debunked years ago
My grandmother had that book, I remember reading it when I was younger, the book is better than the movie but both r scary 🫣 I googled it years ago and it said it was all a myth, so who knows
