It's been 50 years since the murder of a family in a Dutch Colonial home sparked subsequent reports of the Lutz family's experiences, which became known as the Amityville Horror. Ronald DeFeo Jr. (pictured right in 1974) fired and killed six members of his family on 112 Ocean Avenue, a large Dutch Colonial house on the south shore of Long Island, New York, on November 13, 1974. The cold-blooded killings shocked the nation, but the house acquired even more notoriety three years later, when its new owners were forced to leave, claiming they were terrorized by paranormal phenomena while living there. The events spawned a slew of books and films that have made the home one of the country's most popular. The DeFoe family is shown inset.
