Best Answer

The murder of the DeFeo family in Amityville, NY. The oldest son of the DeFeo's shot his entire family with a shotgun while they were sleeping. When the Lutz's bought the house they stay a month and had to flee the house because of the hauntings. The book was later made into a hit movie. The Lutzs were later accused of fabricating much of the story but they stick by their original story. The remaining DeFeo son is still in prison for the murders.
