14: DeFeo I, Amityville Horror
The Amityville Murders. It’s got it all, abuse, the murder of a family (six members), possession, haunting, movies, and books. A classic story but we get deep into the goods. I’m talking police call reading. So, let’s start at 112 Ocean Avenue on November 14th, 1974. The first in our series Warren, where we explore the cases Ed and Lorraine Warren were involved in. Audio updated on 23 Jan 2021.
