Letās talk about one of Long Islandās most bone-chilling, talked-about, and mysterious places ever ā the Amityville Horror House. Yep, weāre talkinā that house from the movies, books, and late-night ghost-hunting YouTube rabbit holes. Sitting quietly on Ocean Avenue in Amityville, this ordinary-looking Dutch Colonial home holds one of the most infamous backstories in American true crime and paranormal history. Whether youāre into spooky stories, true crime, or just looking for a creepy stop on your Long Island adventure ā buckle up, this oneās got all the vibes.
šÆļø Why All the Hype About the Amityville Horror House?
Backstory Thatāll Chill Your Spine: In 1974, Ronald DeFeo Jr. murdered six members of his family in this very home. Just a year later, the Lutz family moved in and claimed to experience terrifying paranormal activity ā think cold spots, ghostly voices, and demonic pig eyes (no joke).
Hollywood Fame: The story inspired the 1977 book The Amityville Horror and over a dozen films (some better than others) ā itās practically horror royalty.
Itās Still Standing: The house is privately owned now and looks different than it did in the '70s, but fans still cruise by to snap pics and soak up the eerie energy.
True Crime + Ghost Hunting = Cult Classic: Whether you're a skeptic or a believer, there's no denying this place is legendary in pop culture and paranormal circles.
šŗļø Whatās Around the Area?
Even if you donāt get out of the car (we get it), Amityville itself is a cute little Long Island village with chill vibes and some solid places to check out:
Amityville Beach: Just minutes away ā great for a peaceful walk after a spooky cruise down Ocean Ave.
Park Avenue Grill: Local gem for a casual bite and some comfort food after your ghost tour.
Amityville Historical Society: Want the real history (minus the Hollywood spin)? Swing by and dive into the local lore and historical records.
Belmont Lake State Park: Need to shake off the spooky? Take a 15-minute drive to this beautiful spot for fresh air and calm water views.
