Skeletons in the closet? Amityville 'horror house' back on market as owners drop asking price from $1.35m to $955k

Built in the 1920s, the New Jersey home is being listed again just in time for Halloween, and despite the drop in asking price, the owners insist it is not haunted.

My letter

Nissa

You sold my letter for $500. Without my consent! Under copyright that’s my letter and I did not give you permission to sale. Do you have more letters from Ronald DeFeo written to me or by me to him?

Since you've never sent me anything besides messages that appear to have been written by a bi polar teenager who hasn't taken her medication, I could not have possibly sold any of your letters as you never gave me any.   I don't need your permission to sell something which never belonged to you.  If you send Butch or anyone else something it is there's to do with as they wish.  Furthermore, what's this copyright you speak of?  It's clear that you don't know anything about Butch DeFeo aka Yellow Corn, the person you are defending. It's no secret you messaged me yesterday claiming to be his wife which is interesting since Butch claims to be single and it's common knowledge he recently went through a divorce.   Whether you know it yet or not, you are just one of many involved the game he plays with women who write to him.    I would appreciate it if you would quit wasting my time. I have more productive things to be doing than dealing with your pathetic existence.

Thank you for confirming that you are indeed crazier than a road lizard.

When I got a gun in my hand, there’s no doubt in my mind who I am. I am God.

Butch DeFeo, Tuesday October 14th 1975 a year after he killed his parents and four siblings at 3:15 in the morning by executing them with a shotgun. He claims he was possessed by demons and voices to do it. They lived in the very famous, very haunted Amityville Horror House.

Amityville Horror.

On the evening of November 14, 1974, police were called to a house in Amityville, Suffolk County, New York. There they discovered six dead bodies - the entire DeFeo family save one. Mother and father, two brothers and two sisters had been shot with a high-powered rifle as they slept in their beds. The only survivor, Ronald Junior (known as Butch), appeared distraught. When questioned, he suggested that the man responsible might be Louis Fatini, a Mafia mobster whom Butch claimed had a grudge against his father.

There were problems with this story. Butch was a hot-tempered young man, a drug addict with a known interest in firearms - he had once turned a loaded shotgun on one of his best friends. More to the point, on more then one occasion he had threatened to kill his father - the last occasion being less than a week before the killings. Although Butch provided a detailed alibi, some of it did not make sense.

Eventually the truth emerged. Early on the morning of November 14, Butch had taken his .35 calibre Martin rifle, gone to his parents' bedroom and fired two shots into his father, two shots into his mother. He had then moved on to his brothers' bedroom and killed both John and Mark with a single shot each. Finally he had entered the room where his sisters slept and killed them.

At his trial a year later, Butch's counsel had attempted to enter a plea of insanity. Butch told the court: "When I get a gun in my hand, there's no doubt in my mind who I am. I am god." There was a clear evidence, however, that in the aftermath of the killing he had acted with considerable cunning - throwing his own bloodstained clothes down a storm drain was not considered by the jury to be the action of a madman. He was found guilty and sentenced from 25 years to life on all six counts of murder.
