One of the children talked to the spirit form of an enormous pig named Jodie. Kathy Lutz was levitated one night and her face transformed into the appearance of an aged hag. The hauntings reported were many and varied. They stayed in the house, which had been named "High Hopes" by a previous owner, only 28 days, then fled in terror, claiming they had been plagued by spirits. He and his wife, Kathleen, and three children moved into their new home on December 18, 1975. In view of this horrific tragedy, the spacious Dutch colonial house was offered for sale at a relatively low price, and was purchased by George Lee Lutz of Long Island. The plea was not accepted, and DeFeo was sentenced to six consecutive life terms. At his trial, DeFeo claimed that he had been obsessed by voices who told him to kill, and his attorney entered a plea of insanity. Twenty-four-year old Ronald DeFeo shot his parents, two brothers, and two sisters with a high-powered rifle. On November 13, 1974, a large colonial house at 112 Ocean Ave., Amityville, Long Island, New York, was the scene of a mass murder. A well-publicized case of a modern haunting that turned out to be an elaborate hoax.
