Don’t Be Afraid! The ‘Amityville Horror’ House Has Snared a Buyer

The home where green slime bubbled on the walls, flies continuously hatched, and demonic voices thundered through the halls—all allegedly, of course—has been snatched off the market again.

The “Amityville Horror” house in Amityville, NY, has found another owner only five months after creeping onto the market in June for $850,000.

Details on the sale are hidden as it’s under contract, and listing agent Gerald O’Neill declined to speak about the sale. We do know the home, a stately 1927 Dutch Colonial, was last sold in 2010 for $950,000.

This most recent transaction ensures the infamous house will have had five owners since Ronald DeFeo shot and killed all six members of his family in 1974. The ghastly murders spawned “The Amityville Horror,” a best-seller based on a couple who purchased the house in 1975 and claimed they experienced demonic phenomena. Since then, at least 14 movies have been made about the home and its otherworldly guests.

Of course, there has been no actual evidence of haunting, and none of the previous owners has given any indication of demonic presence or anything spooky. One resident, however, change the address—although that was probably more to throw off annoying ghost hunters than actual demons looking for a place to crash.
