The Blog of Death

I had the honor of meeting George in person, he was such a nice guy, I even have a picture that was taken of me with him and one of him with my 9 month old daughter(at the time), Just last October. I am sorry for the loss of such a wonderful guy.

Im sad to hear of his passing.I really enjoyed reading all the amityville hooror books and movies well some of the movies lol.

i have been a huge fan of the amityville horror and have been interested in the lutz family and am verry sorry that both george and kathy have passed away...i am very curious to know what happened to the lutz children and how are they doing?

Montréal, le 21 mars 2007

Tous mes respects à la famille Lutz...

I just know about them from the movie but I feel for them. they will be truly missed. I hope the children are all well and doing good.

Hey how do I get in contact with who owns the home now and how i can get in?

What kind of question is that?? How do you get in?? The residents of Amityville have been harrassed enough, don't you think? I'm sure the new owner of the house will swing the door open a give you a big hug, and a mug of cocoa.

George Lutz, a "wonderful" guy? Hey, I'm sorry the man is dead, but he was anything but wonderful. He committed fraud upon the whole world, and left a scar on a nice town that will forever be remembered based on a hoax. Now you want to know how his children are? Hopefully they turned out better than their parents. Interesting that nobody that follows this crap asks about the DeFeo's, or their relatives, and how they are managing these days??

Just to let you know, read the book, 'The Night The DeFeo's Died'. This will reveal what's real and what's not.

I've studied the paranormal (nothing like those idiots on 'Ghost Hunters' but the real science). The house was probably imprinted with 'negative emotional residue' for the lack of a better term. The DeFeo family was an extremely troubled and disturbed family. The night they died left this powerful emotional residue and affected the Lutz family, taking the form of all manner of things from sounds, to smells to visions. The families reaction only fed this residue and a psychic cycle happened. Once the family fled, the psychic link was broken and possibly began dying off. This was why Ed and Lorraine Warran still felt it, but when the new owners moved in, it not only had died off, but followed the Lutzes for a time before being spent. There was never any real spirits. If you ever picked up an object from a violent area, you can feel it's history in it. So, there's some truth to The Amityville Horror.

ok,first we all know year after the killings,noone had problems in house but lutzes.flying pig,that something drunk says,as well stone of lion came life and bite him on leg!i had stone dogs and have not come life haha.and house is moved as well after they say they left the house,people says they was there next day selling things.george may say kathy soul there now so will his?preacher lied for them as he said in court.why kids not saying things,cause they did not see nothing but george is a fake and liar.God have mercy on his soul.ed and lorraninewarren are fakes and we all know that.he was crazy guy wanted money,after he find out of story of killings.is robert defeo is out prison yet?if so what he doing now?who kill nexy and blame evil spirites again?

Well it looks like all the sordid characters of this affair, a scam on the American public are dead, including the priest.
Good riddance.

i totally believed george lutz and kathy lutz! this whole storie baffles me. on how not one single neihbor of the defeos heard a gunshot. and if you google ronald defeo jr's name it says how police were very puzzled that all of the victims were lying face down, without a sign of any struggle. why didnt anyone wake up or move? ronald defeo claims his 18 year old sister dawn murdered the children so they woudlnt be witnesses and he killed the parents..police did infact find gun powder on dawns night gown "indicating she may have discharged a firearm" and when her brother see what she did he knocked her unconscience and shot her in the head. its odd how kathy and george have both died at a somewhat young age. i truly believe this was a haunting. the devil works in mysterious ways...its pretty sad.

I beleive the story is true. Haunted houses are all over the place and after a murder of six I'm sure evil was in the house. Demons are attracted to human suffering. That is why so many old mental hospitals and prisons are haunted. Evil spirits delight in humans suffering. They hate us because we are redeamable and they are not. George Lutz and Kathy Lutz say in a documentary that they were involved in TM ( the occult) and it may have attracted the demons to them. It probably did. It's like opening a door. People who live at the house now may be Christians or just protected.

scar on a nice town?? maybe,, but I think people need some supranational stuff too and everyone knows what amityville town has its place on the map *lol*

i diden't know any thing about the amity vill horror in till i saw the movie and after that i got onto the computer and lookted it up and when i saw the pics and the story's i felt for the non living defeo family and it was HORIBLE what happend to them

Some of the comments on here make me wonder exactly what caliber of people post on the blogs or message boards. I don't know if the Amityville Horror was real or not, but I for one will not sit here and take part into the bashing of both George and Kathy Lutz. To come online and verbally assault someone after they have passed tells me a lot of the character of the people who post on the boards. I for one believe that we are surrounded by the supernatural at all times, whether or not we or they choose to interact with each other remains to be seen.

Excuse me for one second here. I pay tribute to George and Kathleen Lutz for their passing. I was reading some of the comments and when I came up on Todd Ponton's comment about the the Ghost Hunters formally known as TAPS being idiots, well they know a lot more than what you and I put together do and right now I am currently taking classes to become a ghost hunter. I do know one thing, I don't believe half of the story that the Lutz's told. I believe that they were saying a lot of the stuff for media attention and for the money. GOD REST THEIR SOULS.

First of all I want to pay tribute to George and Kathleen Lutz for their passing. Also to Kathy's children and the rest of their family.
Second I read the comment from Todd Ponton saying that the Ghost Hunters formally known as TAPS are idiots. I do know TAPS and well they know more about paranormal activities than what you and I will ever know and I am taking classes to become a ghost Hunter.
Just because the Lutz felt coldness going through the house that doesn't mean that the house is haunted. The house could be drafty because it is not insulated right.
oh I suppose that the room I am in right now is haunted because it has a small draft of coldness in it.Not quite.
You can pick up something that was left in the house from previous people and touch it and a funny feeling about it but that doesn't mean that there is a demon in the house. Come on get it right. Just because you studied about the paranormal doesn't mean you are a professinal. Unless you actually went into a house and "studied" it read about the history and actually had activity, you wouldn't know exactly what paranormal activity is. TAPS (GHOST HUNTERS)does. I have actually experinced paranormal activity.

White Tiger I agree with you. Does pigs fly? NO! Does stone statues come alive? NO! Has anyone ever seen green goo running from the top of the wall or the ceiling down to the floor and coming from the steps of a house? Not unless someone it trying to make money and get the media's attention. You see that's what the Lutz's were doing. But they also got the consequences too. They got sued. Sure Kathy says that she smelled womans's perfume. Are you sure it wasn't hers that she smelled or some kind of deordorizers? As for visions either they were extremely tired or they were considerably drunk. You see noone knows if the Lutz's were telling the truth. The DeFeo's death had nothing to do with the house except that it happened in the house. Ronald DeFeo Jr. and his father kept fighting and arguing and his mother would end up taking his fathers side. So Jr. got fed up with the whole family and shot them. He was messed up. Matter of fact to show that he was mess up, he slpet with his own sister.

I agree. Why would someone make something like this up. May George and Kathy Lutz rest in peace.

Pigs don't fly! That's just part of the movie, to make it scary. The lutz family bought this house with all their savings, why would they leave 28 days later? FEAR!! and to leave all of what they owned behind for something that was not real to them? I believe what they say, and I am also really sad they have both passed on so young. What about their children? Does anyone know what they are doing now?

I live about 7 miles away from the house on 112 Ocean Ave in Amityville, and lived on Long Island all of my life. There are a few mysterious stories that happened here on Long Island. One is the story of Hatchet Mary, The odd house in Massapeaqua (you think the Amity house is errie), The Amityville murders, and the recent Montauk Monster. I must say that in my opinion George and Kathy Lutz, god rest their souls did in fact make up 99% of what happened during their 28 day stay in the house. Do I think they felt a strange feeling or uneasyness in the house, sure!!! Six people were murdered would'nt you feel a bit spooked if you bought a house and the real estate agent said oh by the way 6 people were murdered in the house Good Luck!!! Myself I would sell it right there and then. I feel that Mr. Lutz realized what he had here, he bought a huge beautiful house for dirt cheap where a man killed his entire family, and with a little I hear a voice, like DeFeo claimed he did before killing his family, Kathy did you move the couch there, and this window was closed who opened it. We now have a plot for a book and eventually a movie. As for the waking up at 3:15 am to check up on the boat house and the foul smells and flies in the window all made up to keep the story going in my opinion. If the house is full of evil and these events the Lutz's claimed to really have happened, why didn't the owners after the Lutz's or the current owners not experiening what the Lutz's did.

I dont believe in ghosts or demons or evil entities that haunt, but spirits of our loved ones I do, and I have had a few of unexplainable experiences in my life to why I do believe in spirits. Do the spirits of the DeFeo family still roam around the house maybe. If they do why would they want to hurt the Lutz's or any other family that moves in. The way they left this world is horrific, but as a beliver in God I feel they all went to heaven and if they went to heaven why would there spirits be bothered to haunt people they did'nt know when they were alive. If they should haunt anyone it their son, brother who murdered them in cold blood.

IM wondering why they are the only family to have experienced all this supernatural stuff and no one else living there has?

First Taps and Ghost Hunters are two different groups. Second where`s all the BIG money George and Kathy Lutz is said to have made off of the book and movie, I did some research into their story and I really can`t find that they were rich. Third has anyone ever noticed that none of their kids have said anything about this strange part of their life, If I were them ,I would want to forget and try to put it behind them and it seems they are trying to. I do believe in the paranormal as I had seen and heard my share and still do and with all the really big paranormal things we have in kentucky ,Bob Mackys , Waverly hills,Beverly Hills supper club are just a few famous we have . And yes we all now you have to put alot of hollywood in books and movies for them to sell but their is something out there if you look for it.

There is one article by Finster stating that hopefully the kids turned out better then there parents. You don't even know them. Kathy Lutz was an awesome lady, had a huge heart and was one of the nices ladies that I have ever known.

I agree with Collette. Kathy and George used all their money for this house. Kathy said that this was her dream house. Why on earth would someone who spent every penny on a house make up these things.. to just up and leave 28 days later and not take any of their stuff with them? I know of someone who's husband was a close friend of George and she told me that her husband even experienced pretty creepy things when he went to visit.

And Steven - After living in Amityville my entire life .. i can speak for the entire town when i say - Amityville is tired of everyone making a huge scene to find the house. If the people wanted visitors they wouldn't have gone to such extremes to get rid of spectators waiting for something to happen. How do you get in? Honestly? Haha, good luck with that ;)

May George and Kathy Rest in Peace.

IF THEY DID LIE ABOUT THE SUPERNATURAL EVENTS THEY WENT THROUGH, GOD HAVE MERCY ON THEM. IF THEY DIDN'T THEN THEY WENT THROUGH A LIVING HELL! REST IN PEACE GEORGE AND KATHLEEN LUTZ

I belive the story is a hoax. the lutzs spent all their savings on the house and with no money said the house was haunted so they can get money. with the lutz's gone why dont the kids come on tv or something and talk about what happened. as for the defaos butch was greedy and wanted the families money all to him self. with the dad gone it would have went to the mom, with her gone the 5 kids would split it. so with them gone to had he gotton away with murder he would have be rich.

i think your all taking this a bit too far whatever happened in that house has nothing to do with us.Like one of you said as if they dont get harrased enough already. Punks) jk

I guess 'Amityville' is one of those things you either believe or you don't. There's no proof, either way.

George and Kathy Lutz were profiteers based in the contemporary interest in the paranormal. Where are their kids and why have none of them stepped forward to dispel the allegations that the whole thing is a fake? It is obvious that they would never sacrifice their image and community status the way their parents did with lies and utter falsehoods.

When George and Kathy divorced, the rights to the story and future profits were a real bone of contention. Kathy said that unless she got a significant amount of money she would betray the lies and go public. The publishing company purportedly paid her $250,000 to protect their copyright which still generates more than 100,000 copies of the book sold every year since it first published. When George moved to Las Vegas he did not need to work for a salary because royalties and hush money supported him, but to keep his conscience clear he volunteered at all kinds of functions for the needy, hoping that his actions would overcome the lies of his past and allow him jinto heaven.

George and Kathy's purported friendship was nothing more than contrived publicity with each threatening to expose the other and ruin their income ability. They pretended to respect each other, but George could not stand to be in the same room with Kathy.

When each died their estate(s) were administered with a 50 year annuity clause that paid each of their descendants an annual "salary" as long as they supported the story. If any of them spoke out against the story or even threatened to expose the fraud, they were cut off from the will's annuity and their portion would go to the others. The children had previously decided upon a "poison pill" response should any of them evr try to ruin the perpetual ruse. They agreed that if anyone broke the circle of silence, that (those) person(s) would be publicly labeled as having mental problems, substance abuse and a purported history of violence and erratice behavior so as to destroy the slightest possibility of any degree of credibility in their allegations. You wonder how I know this? I heard it right from the mouth of the doctor for one of the family members' next door neighbor's postman. Which person I cannot reveal, lest it cut them off from the family fortune. It had to be repeated and told to give it a public airing for opinion. Capitalism does funny things to people!

Who says it was a hoax. The internet? Wow Haha there are some credible sources but some aren't. You have to be able to know the difference, especially after all these people are just saying nice things about deceased and their children. People are honestly haunted by certain things whether it's real or fake or ghosts or dolls or just voices in there head. And they were obviously sane for those of you who think they were probably weird and insane in the membrane.

JUST TO LET YOU KNOW... I LIVE IN CONNECTICUT AND MY MOTHER GREW UP IN A TOWN WHERE A HOUSE THAT WAS RIGHT AROUND THE BLOCK FROM HER HAD AN ENTITY. ONE NIGHT SHE HEARD POLICE SIRENS FLYING DOWN HER STREET, WHILE NEIGHBORS WERE ALL CROWDED ON THIS GUYS LAWN. STANDING BACK FROM THE STREET LOOKING THROUGH THE WINDOWS YOU COULD SEE FURNITURE LIFTED IN THE AIR AND BEING THROWN AROUND. COUCHES, CHARIS AND TELEVISON SETS WERE IN THE AIR!!!! POLICE OFFICERS WERE STANDING ON THE FRONT LAWN AND DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO DO!! THEY HAD TO CALL A PRIEST DO DO AN EXORCISM ON THE HOUSE. NO JOKE! THIS WAS WITNESSED BY MANY!! ....HASN'T ANYONE EVER HEARD OF BLACK MAGIC?? IF YOU HAVENT START READING UP ON IT. IT WILL MAKE EVERYONE MORE AWARE OF WHATS OUT THERE. AND WHAT COULD EASILY HAPPEN WHEN SOMEONE KNOWS A FEW TRICKS...

How can anyone questions the reality of the Lutz story? Do I believe everything in the book to be true? NO! However, why would a family spend their entire life savings on a house only to abandon it 28 days later? For those of you who say they were after the money, how would they have any idea that their story would sell? They wouldn't. The book could've flopped. I believe that the family triggered a presence in the house. Probably the poor souls of the family who tragically lost their lives there. I also think that the families that have lived there since may not have that same triggering ability.

TAPS: TAPS is the name of the paranormal investigators for the hit reality show 'Ghost Hunters'. So they ARE the same.
Ric Osuna: His book 'The Night the Defeos Died' is a well researched book and well worth reading. The facts surrounding the Defeo case are amazing. However, I think the chapters regarding the Lutz family should be omitted. Yes, a lot of what is written in the book 'The Amityville Horror' & portrayed in the movie is fictional. However I do believe that the Lutz's did experience something terrifying in that house.
The Lutz's: I am sure that they had no idea what would happen when they spent their life savings on this victorian style home. I'm sure they had no intention of duping millions of readers when they abandoned their home 28 days after moving in. What everyone is claiming to be a 'Hoax' must have some truth to it. It is inconceivable that a family would risk everything they own in hopes that a fabricated story would sell.
Current owners: I do not have sympathy for the current owners. They knew what house they were purchasing when they bought it. If it is true that there are no ghosts residing there, why not let a team come in to investigate or better yet open the house up to tourists. They could make a fortune. I agree with Todd Ponton, the negative energy in the house has probably died off with time.
Amityville: Should be thanking Jay Anson, the Lutz's, & Ric Osuna for the publicity their books have given this little town. I'm sure the towns businesses have seen the benefits from the house at 112 Ocean Avenue & capitalized on the tragedy. Once again, I don't have sympathy for them.
Defeos & the Lutz's: I pray that their souls find peace in the afterlife. They are good people that did not deserve the hand that life dealt them. They will never be forgotten. Rest in peace!

While I don't know much about the Amityville Horror and what actually happened and I'm certainly no expert on paranormal activity, I do know that Ghost Hunters does indeed follow the TAPS team. Ghost Hunters: International, and Ghost Hunters Academy, however, do not. If you don't believe me check out the TAPS website.

I've read everyone's comments regarding my statemens that TAPS is a bunch of idiots. I stand by my conclusions.

They may not be idiots, but from a scientic field, they certainly are not Parapsychologist. Just because they have a TV show doesn't mean squat.
