THE TRUE STORY OF THE AMITYVILLE HORROR HOUSE | Visiting the Crime Scene, Bar, & DeFeo Family Graves

[@jameskett5241]

Really? You're gunna, you're gunna stand there whispering with the plane flying by? Really? Ya didn't think, the LOUD plane is flying by, maybe I should do this again, ESPECIALLY SINCE I'M WHISPERING? No? lol

[@SCOTTONTAPE]

Nope. I ain’t yelling in a cemetery and I don’t have the luxury of waiting around at places . I’m on a small budget and I gotta get the f*** out to other places 😊

My condolences ❤

[@DirtyDingles]

You do a great job bringing the human side to this tragic story. It’s not about the house , boat house , bar , a best selling book , a movie. All these things can take away from the fact six people were murdered in cold blood , four children and the Parents. The killer , Butch I’m sure is answering for his sins since his death. Beautiful memorial at the end, showing where the family now rest. Great job revisiting this story , RIP Defeo family.

[@ErinsNerdStuff]

I’ve been obsessed with this case forever. It’s interesting to see where the bar was. And it was nice to see the graves. Such a tragic story.

[@cobaltmidnightoilamp6748]

@ErinsNerdStuff, this case fascinates the HELL out of me. I even had my first experience of a sensational but local case @ a 3-yr.- old little blond boy being abducted from the Powell Crosley YMCA playground on Winton Rd(Cincinnati, OH.)and killed by an African American high school boy in Cincinnati, Ohio almost 8 years later on 6/18/1982(Fri.). I was 12 and a half and just finished out the 6th grade @ the time.

[@falvarez126]

Thank you for taking us around to all these locations and telling us the stories. Stay safe on your whereabouts. 😊 Hoping to run into you some time at Hollywood Forever cemetery. 😊

I remember when the book came out. I laid by the roaring fireplace and read the whole book in one night. It was very disturbing and I definitely got no sleep. When I finally fell asleep, it was with the covers completely up to my chin. I think it was the only time, I was glad I shared a room with my sister. 😂😱 Thanks for another great video Scott! 👍🏻

I'm glad that they didn't bury that monster with his family. Glad to see he was cremated.

[@reneedennis2011]

I agree.

[@fayewitt9881]

I agree as well! He was a monster who murdered his own family for obviously no reason at all except for one reason and that is! Out of pure hate for his family!​@@reneedennis2011

[@fayewitt9881]

Nobody murders anybody except out of pure hate! Why! Why! Does there have to be so much hate in this world? Why can't there be more love than hate but of course I rather hate not exist at all but that wouldn't be logical thinking I know cause love and hate both exist but people don't have to hate, it's by choice people choose to hate but not everyone chooses to hate.

If you havn't yet, Id suggest reading High Hopes by Gerard Sullivan and Harvey Aronson. To me it is the best "no BS' book about the murders out there

[@kimglass4851]

Thanks Scott! I never knew how close the houses were! Thats unreal that no one heard all those shots! RIP to the victims

[@steppy3736]

People *did* hear gunshots. Because it was such a low crime area they dismissed them as cars backfiring.

[@Myrna611]

I've driven by that house so many times. It still gives me the creeps 😂. Another great video!

[@cobaltmidnightoilamp6748]

@Myrna611, same here. The upgrade of those two windows 🪟 🪟 on that house did not help matters in making it any less creepy. The fact that the 2024 calendar year running exactly like 1974, 50 years ago to this date gives me eerie vibes as I feel that year, to me was indeed frightening 😱 with a twister of 4/3 of that year hit 14 states! Ted Bundy's murder spree just launching off, on top of this shocking bloody crime. 1974 is by far, my VERY least favorite year, next to 13 years later, 1987, I feel was even creepier for me! A schoolmate in high school told us @ a bat cave in our community somewhere, the wave of Satanic worship incidents, including a related murder of one Monica Lemon, where the killer amputated both of her legs to fit into his hooptie of a beat up Ford Pinto, and the movie, Fatal Attraction, starring Michael Douglas, Glenn Close, and Anne Archer.

[@susanna3]

Thank you Scott for paying respects to the Defeo family. I totally agree that they were forgotten by many people because of the ghost story and the Lutz story. Rest in peace 🙏 ❤

oh my.. I don't think i could live in that house knowing that there was murders taken place there.

[@FinalCurtainCall]

The house my family lived in, someone died. I don't think they were murdered but let me tell ya...I experienced and witnessed some things in that house that was creepy and unexplainable. My mom did too. She got a priest to bless the house and suddenly all of the stuff that was happening, came to a cease. I witnessed a spirit in my doorway and I was about 8. I was terrified.

[@gillnelson9037]

Donald Sr was an abusive monster. That doesn't explain why he killed the children though. I suspect greed.

Do you blame them .

[@kaltesekwa]

Thanks

[@limlianhui9462]

That guy was given everything he could possibly want or need and this is how he chose to repay his family? If his dad really was abusive, why did he still kill the rest of the family? It really takes a lot to kill one or two people, to kill all six members of your own immediate family is incomprehensible. The really sad thing is, the grandparents outlived the family (except for him) by over 10 years. Unimaginable having to bury not only your child but your young grandchildren and living with that for so long after. RIP to the Defeo family.
