Episode 120: Ronald ”Butch” DeFeo and the Amityville Horror House Massacre

The story of Butch DeFeo and the Amityville Horror House Massacre is like a Sopranos Halloween Special.

The mystery of how six people could be shot, one after the other, with an incredibly loud, high-powered hunting rifle, none of them waking up and just lying in their beds peacefully sleeping, the neighbors not hearing a thing, endures to this day.

Join us as we go over all the many theories of the murders which would eventually lead to one of the most famous haunted house tales in the history of the world: the Amityville Horror.
