a guide to visiting the real Amityville Horror house 

Check out this new video I made about contacting the spirits of the Amityville Horror House: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FoUUe4X-xac.html

I visited the house in July and walked from Amityville Station, took about 20 minutes to get there. Got some great pics but felt a little awkward standing out front but I'm from Sydney Australia so knew I wouldn't get another chance anytime soon. Spent only 5 minutes there and to be honest I didn't get any bad or evil vibes from the house lol. It's actually a really gorgeous house and street.

That Amityville house is actually quite a nice house.

Thanks! I just visited NY and had a few hours in Amityville, I followed the hints and tips and thanks! I loved the visit and I found all locals spoke to me saying good morning ect, to see if I was a tourist, the house was amazing and I was not disappointed at all so thank you

If I win the lottery, I will buy the house and turn it into a bed and breakfast

I have always found it interesting how on websites like google street view, they blur out the home. It definitely seems like the town does not want to become an attraction for tourists!

Finally a video that provides useful and interesting information.

I went with a group of friends when I was 21 to see it. This was back in 1995. I took some neat photos of the house. It was a cloudy day so it definitely had an ominous feeling. Some locals drove by us and were heckling. The general consensus was that the town thought it was a big hoax.

It is a lovely house. I can understand the owners and residents wanting the past laid to rest. Unfortunately this home will always be sold, with its history behind it, as it is so infamous. At least it still remains and is loved and maintained well.

It's funny when people say they know it's not haunted. People who have never lived there. The Lutz family left everything behind and never went back losing all the money they put into the place. Why would any family do that if something wasn't seriously wrong there?

I live around the block and everyone that lives in my neighborhood hates driving passed it because no one knows how to drive passed it

I love the house from an architectural viewpoint. All those Dutch Colonial houses are beautiful. The windows, rooves, architraves, all of those super features look wonderful. I would love to own a house like that.

When you try to view the house in streetview, it's actually blurred out.....

This is good information! I'm visiting amityville in March and needed to know some things!

Great video with insightful narration. Was there last month. The No Parking/No Standing signs suck. We still stopped and got a few picks from the car. And yes it seems that this town does not want to be remembered by the haunting. However I'm more interested in the mysteries surrounding the murders of the Defeo family.

I was just there. I pulled in in the driveway. And I touched the fence.

Honestly, it's just like any other house inside of it. I have been in it back in 2006. A friend of mine, Brad knew the owners. I didn't feel anything "off" or strange. It was actually pretty quiet. When you walk in, there's the steps in front of you. To the right is a dining room and left, a living room. Kitchen is behind steps joint to the dining room. We sat in the kitchen at a small bar to talk about fishing. I know ppl don't want to hear this, but you're not going to find any ghosts here. Not in the day anyway. We also went around back through the backdoor, where a few lose patio chairs were. It's peaceful there at the canal. A small island is across from it, I could see. It all is what it is... the owner told me there was no ghosts, laughing and making fun of it.

The amityville murders movie(which is my favorite)was shot at the house..

Why would you even think of wanting to visit this house - which, no doubt, has been architecturally altered inside since those families lived there - where 6 people died? Leave the existing residents alone, to live there peacefully without ghoulish ghost hunters invading their privacy. I love the look of this house and the surrounding houses from an architectural viewpoint. They are well-built houses, built to last for decades. Their features are nothing short of wonderful, from the arched windows, the architraves, the porches, the gambrel rooves. The Dutch Colonial style is beautiful and in England, we have very few houses resembling this style. When I see these kind of houses on tv, I am immediately drawn to their beauty. Unfortunately 112 Ocean Avenue is famous for all the wrong reasons. I bought the book and saw the film. I was 12 when the book came out and was scared stiff reading it! 😂. However, fast forward down the years and looking through the history of the house, the DeFeo family, the Lutz family, the story has more clarity now. The fact that it turned out to be a hoax is no great surprise at all. I feel the Lutz family may have had some odd happenings inside their house, but if you dabble in the occult, your mind is going to be open and altered to that way of thinking. It is as though by buying a house in which the occupants had been murdered, you are setting yourself up for bad things to happen to you. Years later and there have been other occupants who have had no dealings with the paranormal and yet nothing odd or weird has happened to them. Some people do subconsciously invite spirits into their world, I agree. Often these things happen without any form of ‘calling them up’. I myself have seen the ghost of a little boy in a croft house in Scotland, many years ago. I wasn’t aware that the house was haunted, I wasn’t actively looking for ghosts or spirits, I wasn’t sure I actually believed in them at that point either. 🤔 I did try and find a rational explanation for my ghost, but couldn’t and to this day still have not been able to shed any light on it. I do believe though that if you are actively dabbling in the occult, it can alter your mind, your perception of what is rational. Maybe this is what happened to the Lutz family?

We visited the house in June 1985 and it still had the original sinister looking fan windows at the top level. At the time the house was painted a lighter color and a Monte Carlo with NASCAR pace car paint scheme sat in the driveway

This is the kind of atmosphere I ran into when I did a small documentary on Ed Gein in Plainsfield, WI. The people were none too friendly and not very open to horror fans looking to peer into the dreaded past. I was kicked out of the cemetery for filming where Gein's grave supposedly was (It's unmarked, I believe). I did manage to find where the Gein house supposedly was before it was burned down.

This is a very helpful video to pinpoint where the house is, and where to park.I wouldn't mind walking at all to check the house out. I'm a classic horror movie fanatic. Especially when the movie is based on true stories.

Thanks for the tips. However I I already drove by it in 1986 with my mom.

Very helpful, thank you Joe for sharing!!

I haven't read any comments about the front upper windows being redone. The previous windows really made the house look scary,

Thankyou, I thoroughly enjoyed your video. U definitely have a voice for these kind of things. Subscribed 😊

Cool ...I was born and raised in Amityville .Spent many a Halloween night throwing eggs at the house formally 112 Ocean Ave , now 110 Ocean Ave ..Heard it's for sale again .

I visited this house recently! Very nice house! The only truth to this house is that Ron DeFeo killed his family. He said himself that it is not haunted.

I drove down to see the Amityville House. A local policeman pulled me over and said, Get out. GET OUT!!!!

That shopping center is where the bar Ronald used to hang out in was.

If I had that house, I'd it paint black, put back the old windows, change the address back to 112 and do tours every Halloween.

The towns Historical society should have prevented them from changing the upper iconic windows. It wont change onlookers, even 10050 Cielo Dr in LA, the Mansion murder house, changed numbers and was completed demolished, and a new massive ugly mansion was built total unlike the original, yet people still seek it out regardless.

Actually looks like a beautiful town.

I mean the Street looks really nice, it looks so nice that you would feel ok letting your children trick or treat on Halloween being said that I wonder do trick or treaters come to this house on Halloween???

What a beautiful area.

i’m from australia but wouldn’t mind travelling overseas to see this house

i feel for the people who live there.......want peace and quiet..i understand why the fence was put up

I’d like to stand in front of the house with one o those big boom boxes and blast that old song Monster Mash.

The only creatures haunting that house are the living ...

I believe there was a bar in that shopping center that Ronny drank at before going home and killing his family.

Amityville is not in Nassau County, it is in Suffolk County, Village of Babylon.

If I live in that house and furnished it with all original Defeos household, I think I will feel what Defeos feel

I have a idea involving the LIRR& will have to figure it out one rest of the way depending how far it is from the closest LIRR station.

Excellent video!! Will go there someday

It’s crazy how a family lives in the amityville house 2020- today

Really enjoyed, thanks for the video 👍

hey thanks that was a well done strait to the point video and very interesting !

Been to new York twice and still haven't seen this house yet would love to see it someday growing up wacthing the flims made me very interested in the house

Back on 79 i went to see the house actually the resident there thank god didnt seem to mind i took lots of pic and unfortunate lost them.

I'm Open Minded. I Think That Their May Be Something Lurking In That House. I Have Experienced Hallucinating Thoughts. What Is Real, & What Is Fantasy?

I would like to know if the people that live in the house ever watch the movie the Amityville horror‘s right in their own home

I've stopped many times in front of the house,fuck the signs, there's never cops in that area

I didn't realise that the movie was shot somewhere else I thought it was shot at this house it wasn't that's really surprised me

You left out the bar where Butch ran to

Great video & helpful tips.

The address went from 112 Ocean Ave to 108 Ocean Ave (not 110).

I found it very helpful! Thanks for posting! Kim Runyan

This was helpful thank you can I see more video about this home I love you video on it

Actually Amityville is in Suffolk but it borders Nassau county

Beautiful home

It was 112 Ocean Ave! now it has been changed 2 108 Ocean ave! Long Island New York!

How beautiful ❤

Because i don't think it haunted

I feel bad for the current owners. They must never get any privacy.

was just there, the people who live there now put bright childish halloween decorations in the front and kinda ruined the whole creepiness to be honest. but it was still a scary experience knowing a family was betrayed and murdered in that house.

Very helpful information 😀👍

Very informative and interesting video thanks 😊

Is there anyway to go inside the house maybe contacting the owners???

I grew up in a haunted house and they are not fun to live in, I was 12 years old and I moved out when I was 24 years old, I always went back to visit my mom and dad but it was always creepy in this old Victorian house built in 1895, my parents no longer live there they have passed away 2006, 2010 ,God bless the dead may they rest in peace ✝️💕 🙏☹️

I would like to see the bar Defeo was at...

If you look in the window on two of the pics there is a mans face and the other pic there is a child's face

Sound like to me they try to keep people away from the house.

I went to see it while I was visiting Connecticut from New Orleans. I had to make the trip! I could’ve gawked at it forever but like you said there’s no parking anywhere on the street!

very informative

Great video!

I just want to know if it haunted or not be i want to buy it

thanks for this really useful video,i'm hoping to visit n.y next year..and this will be on my place to visit....

thanks joe that was awesome video help me a lot , I didn't know people there don't want any tourist horror fans , the town must be very nieve not to brite there sitting on a billion dollar gold mine and wont tourist it out every day,the lady that owns it should help you and all of us in Louisville Kentucky,fans would love to pay money just to sit out sideand stare and take tours of it ,oh well there lost but thanks joe I really enjoyed it my friend owens

nice scifi story

great video

The address is 108 not 110

Thanks Joe very very informative you said you're allowed to take pictures from the street of the house is that the closest you can get to it thanks so much for doing this

I think Alot of these rules are because of the house in my opinion. Do you know if any original furniture,ect. still exists and where someone could buy it?

My town isn't safe 🤦🏼‍♂️ smfh we always get tourists who always want to cross the fence

I heard they removed to 2 iconic windows on the 2nd floor ,the ones that made it look like eyes. Guess i was wrong ?

Good video.

wow i always thought u had to take a ferry to get the house and that always discouraged me iv been to new york state on accident coming from montreal and tho im sure that i wasnt near this part of new york ,, thanks to you i dont picture long island to be an island at all in the act that you can in fact just drive to it ..boy do i feel like a dumb dumb haha

A beautiful house! Great location! I doubt anyone will ever know why Ronald Defoe did what he did. Personally, I don't think it was the house. I'm an Atheist and depend on science. Science is proof or not.

The address is 112 ocean ave NOT 110

Thanks great advice, very well presented.

Its actually 112 ocean Ave address when the muders occurred now the address is 114 ocean Ave scence the murders not 110 like he said

Tear it down. It's full of bad spirits at night. We live right next to the house

I wonder why the windows in the addict in this house are different from the ones in the movies. They are square here. but more curved shaped in the movies.

I visited the house with a friend of mine in 2005 when they new movie came out.. We viewed the house from the back looking over the little canal.. The house actually looked very pleasant and non mennacing sitting next to other homes nearby.. Totally unlike the the haunted mansion in a desolate countryside that the movie tried to descript..

what is with the "clown riding on a little bicycle" music?

Where does Jeremiah Ketcham live?

I thought that address was 108 not 110. It was 112. What gives here?

It looks different from the movie.. I know they changed the windows..I would love to stay the night and see if I hear or see anything ☺

Isnt is Suffolk not Nassau county

Stayed there as a kid, it was super scary all the noises at night
