We’ve watched this channel for a very long time, and the one consistency is that Michael and Jessica do not trespass. They go out of their way to stay off of private property, and are courteous and respectful of the current owners, and the neighbors. As long as they stay on the public access, they have as much rights, as anybody else. Courtesy and respect goes both ways.

The murder of the DeFeo family is a heck of a lot more terrifying than a haunted house.

My grandma was 16 years old when it happened and she lived in Amityville until she went to college. Her parents still live there. So I have heard a lot of stories about it from her. I have always been interested in the story because of that.

May the Defeo family rest in peace. These murders are extremely tragic as family with the exception of Ronny who passed in prison. Thank you for bring so respectful and explaining this sad piece of history with such kindnesses and compassion.

Fun fact: Larry Zerner (Shelley in Friday the 13th Part 3) represented the Lutz family in some of their legal issues.

Another FANTASTIC recap of a story that I have followed for many years. Thanks guys!!!

You and Jessica tell these horrific stories with a lot of class. You normally do not show what should not be shown nor get too graphic, and you really do attempt to be as respectful as possible which is really cool. Thank you for posting these bits of history which we hope will not be repeated. I hope you both are doing well and Jessica, you look lovely as always.

Over the years I had heard two stories about the house and what happened . One was that the Lutz's couldn't make the mortgage payments so came up with these stories to get out from under it and the other was that the oldest sister assisted Ronald with the killings . Great video as always guys , keep up the great work and stay safe out there .

All these years hearing the story and I will never be able to wrap my head around how he managed to shoot everyone 'while they slept'. After the first one, EVERYONE is going to be awake unless they were drugged or otherwise incapacitated. Beyond that... a true horror story for the Defeos.

I’ll always be here for a new Grimm Collective. Love you two! Amazing story tellers!

Went by the house about 20 years ago and I will say the neighbors don't like people coming there. Great video:-)

Love this channel! You both are always so insightful and yet respectful!

This was so respectful...nice job. Amityville really should just embrace the history the way Fall River, MA has embraced Lizzie Borden’s place. Newsflash to Amityville...it’s NEVER going away. The DeFeo’s will never be forgotten! However, I do agree that the current occupants should be allowed to live in relative peace...but still, you knew what house you were buying....so you can’t stop or pretend people aren’t curious!

I am so shocked your channel hasn't blown up more!! Only just came across you guys, but you make the BESTTT content. I hope you get the recognition you spookies deserve 🖤

Amityville 2 was based on the actual gruesome murders the Defeo family while the extremely popular Amityville original was based on the family that moved in after so if you watch them backwards you kinda get the picture

At 0:44 - Ever notice that The Amityville House and The Villisca Axe Murder House in Iowa have those same curved windows that the Amityville House does on the top floor? I am pretty sure The Amityville House removed those windows, but prior to that both houses had those windows. And I've never really seen windows like that on a lot of homes. (I swear there is another infamous murder house that have windows like that, I just can't remember what house it is). Great video guys (as usual). I truly love this You Tube Channel!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for respectfully covering the infamous Amityville case. Been obsessed with it for eons. I love it when any channel featuring it pops up, especially you guys. RIP to the DeFeos. My one thought on this house: beautiful, but deadly. Haunted or not (I'm a believer), I would never live there. Something's off about the energies there. But I digress. Would love to see you guys cover the case of Karen Silkwood (who died the same night as the DeFeos-11/13/1974).

There is just something about this case and house that bothers my soul. You’ve done a beautiful and respectful job telling the story, as always. 💚🖤💚

I love how thorough your videos are... you guys never disappoint. I also love how respectful you guys are, yet provide us with so many beautiful images and stories. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures!!!! We love you! ❤❤❤❤

I once dedid a deep dive in the Defao's and Lutx's stories. You did a nice job covering it, It's still creepy and no matter what anyone says there's a dark net on that property until this day!

The house actually looks really nice ! I’d love to see what the inside looks like now.

I love learning about new stories like these, rip to the victims 🙏 🕊

Great video. Interesting how no one wants people near the house...yet they didn't tear it down.

So happy you guys are doing an episode on the Amityville horror. This story is frightening. Love you guys !!!!

You know, I haven't been watching you guys that long, however I will say this, when I watch these videos your humility is what really catches my attention, and I feel as if I'm there with you. It's always been somewhere I've wanted to visit, realistically I probably won't (who knows) but I am grateful for this video, and grateful that you guys make this content for people like me in Oregon of all places to watch, learn and enjoy. God bless the DeFeos, the Lutz's, and anyone else who was affected by this tragedy.

I can remember the stories that were told about that house I was 4 when the murders happened and 9 when the movie came out and as much as I respect the neighbors feelings about the house or it's history what happened there will never be forgotten R.I.P to the De Feo family Thank you for another awesome adventure Micheal & Jessica

😃Thank you so much for posting this video of the Amityville horror house & the DeFeo family grave. Too bad that the new owners changed the infamous window that made awesome eyes of the house. My Uncle's friends went to that house to take a picture of it during the early 80's. I remembered seeing that picture and they had it in the original format. Also remembered the couple( my uncle's friends) told us that the owner of the house & their neighbors were so rude that they chucked rocks at them to leave. My goodness how people could be so touchy.

Always a spooky treat to see your channel pop up with a new video! I love how incredibly respectful you are while sharing grim moments in history. 🖤

You and Jessica are literally the only people on KZfaq that I can sit and watch the whole video. Thank you for the content you push out. Such a beautiful couple ♥️ ty for visiting my home state and doing a video on this :)

I love your channel so much, you are both so respectful with how you film your content and give us so much detail, I really appreciate the time and effort you put into your work, thank you 😊

Found you`re channel 2 months ago and have watched as many videos as i can and you are both so very good at what you are doing. Well researched and respect for those involved, great video. R.I.P to those that lost their lifes here.

The Lutzes only lived there for 28 days, leaving everything behind except for a chest that was made for George by his grandfather. No neighbors on either side or across the street heard Defao shoot that rifle, and no silencer was used. No toxins were found in any of the 6 family members. Things don't add up if you think about it. The man who did buy the property not long after the Lutz family moved out still owned the house until his passing in 2018. It has since gone back on the market. Anyone who owns the house does not like people coming around to see it, hoping that they can live a life in peace, which they deserve, but because of what Ronnie Jr. did in 1974 (I was 3 years old when it happened) that house will never be left alone. I feel it should, and those who had and currently own it should be left alone. No one since the Lutzes have had any activity because something was done about it. The truth about the land prier to the homes existence was finally put to rest, as were the past hauntings that home faced until 1979. The memory of that tragedy in 1974 should also be left to rest in peace.

As always ya’ll never disappoint. Another awesome video.

I've been there. It always amazes me that the home looks really big in photographs. It's nat as big as it appears.... Great job Grimm!!

Been hooked on this channel. Love it. I love how they add news video clips at the beginning of the video just to add context to the story.

Love how respectful you both are to these places. Even if it were once haunted, doesn't mean it still is. Beautifully done!✌️

thank you for doing this one!

Absolutely brilliant episode. I actually became a subscriber after I stumbled upon your last video you made on this subject years ago and remember commenting on your brilliant broadcasting/ hosting style back then. You’ve come along way. I live in Ireland and am fascinated with the amityville story, but will realistically never get to go there, so, really appreciate these videos.. amazing to see the inside of the church too. Great job 🙏☘️☘️☘️

I love waking up on a Saturday with even a hangover- watching your guys videos because your voice is low and not so loud and the video has info that is info and knowledgeable

Michael and Jessica are always respectful when it comes to other people love them so much and they tell their stories so will. Great job guys loved this.

Anybody know if in NY Realtors have a duty to disclose if a home was the scene of a murder anytime a home sells?

I discovered your channel a short time ago but I find some really interesting videos. But I highlight the humanity and respect from which you treat the subject. You both seem like very nice and pleasant people to me and you are made for each other. I wish you a long and prosperous life, of course I will continue watching your videos. Greetings from a Spaniard who lives in Texas.

I was 12 when I read the book - parents bought me a Yorkshire Terrier puppy and I called him Jodie - love the channel - regards to all from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 😊

That house was never haunted until that coward murderer his own family, little kids, I remember when I heard about it, I was a teen and it broke my heart, that photo of the ghost of the youngest victim, the little boy is amazing, clear as if he were alive.

I've lived in NY my whole life and I have never made my way to see the house. I've seen the exit to Amityville on the highway a million times and always make a mental note of the house/story/movies

Another banger video as always, guys. Respectful, insightful, and well shot/edited. 💯

If you guys are up in the New York New Jersey area, you should head over to Westfield New Jersey. That’s the town where the John list murders took place. The house is now gone but it’s a creepy story just like the Amityville story is.

The book was frightening. Lights stayed on all night. Your respectful grace telling the story and keeping a distance was very thoughtful. That's why I watch your shows.

Oh my gosh YES!!!! I was so waiting for you all to do this with Micheal narrating and baby Ghoul giving us insight, soooo excited! My 2023 has been made, thank you so much!!!

Love watching your video’s so insightful. I remember reading the book early 80’s. Always was fascinated by this sad story. As always Micheal and Jessica brilliant, informative and respectful.

The neighbors and people don't need to throw things at people that are just wanting to learn about history. Maybe they all should move if they don't like it... That's not fair that people are throwing things and yelling at people like you and Scott on tape who actually don't trespass and they just stay on the sidewalks and mind their own business... It's actually very sad that people would do that.

Michael and Jessica, may I say I am very impressed by how you made this video, how respectful you were and your reporting throughout about the story was told very sensitively. Thank you.

I absolutely love your videos! Y’all are always respectful of the properties that you visit. I will never stop watching! ❤

"High Hopes" is a great book about the Amityville murders. The book gets it's name from a sign the Defeo's put up in the front yard after they moved in.

I will never understand why anyone would choose to live in a house that six people were murdered in. That is something that will never go away no matter what you try to change about the house. They don't want anyone taking pictures or publicity well then you shouldn't have bought it then. Duh

We appreciate your honest message at the end of the video regarding respecting the privacy of others. We have to place ourselves in the shoes of these neighbors. I can't imagine the number of outsiders who may have disrespected them throughout the years. You & Jessica always showed courtesy through out your travels

I've always wanted to do what you guy's are doing, guess I get to live vicariously through this channel, keep up the good work!

I have passed this house numerous times being a Long Islander and I always get an uneasy feeling no matter what. I feel bad for those poor defeo children that were murdered by the one person they trusted sad tragic story may they RIP

Thanks for taking my recommendation on Amityville. I use to go to the original home in the late 90s. When I visit Longisland I still drive by and look at it. The present owners aren't the friendliest. I don't blame them though they are probably sick of the public lol

Great video! I'm so proud k owing how much respect you have when filming your videos we all love so much. And visiting the deceased to pay respects. 🎃🖤 I'm forever impressed knowing I'm a fan of true humanbeings. 🖤

Love this channel its amazing. The attention to detail on each location, the humor and passion that goes into it is astonishing. Also Michael rocking the long hair really suits You. Love You guys keep up the amazing work ❤️

I've recently subscribed to your channel, and really look forward to each one. You are very respectful of the places you visit. thr Amytiville House has always been of interest to me. To murder his whole family is so horrific, especially the brothers, and sisters. I don't know what to believe about the hauntings, i do believe in spirits, but tend to analyse things before i make up my mind. Thank you both for all your content. Sending love from Scotland. 🤗

Half Moon Windows is an awesome band name

I admire you guys so much for how you can be so informative in just 15 minutes while also being your cute, quirky selves and of course being so respectful of people and places. ❤ Love you guys so much, and I'm so thrilled I got to meet you the other day!

I love your channel. Always fascinating to see all this history years after these events.

I actually own the original High Hopes sign from the Amityville house. It has a number on back, the number represents which order it was auctioned off at.

I've always been fascinated with Amityville. Lots of mystery. A friend of mine grew up not far from the house. He actually was in it many years ago. It's actually very beautiful. I just recently watched an interview with one of the Lutz children, he seems legit. Who knows though...what an awesome story! Wouldn't it be cool 😎 if a fan bought it like Buffalo Bills house here in PA??! Thanks so much guys! Happy Halloween 🧡🖤🧡🖤🎃

Hi guys! I’m so excited you are visiting the Amityville house. I love watching documentaries on this so thanks so much! 🤗🤗🤗

Great work, as always, Michael and Jessica. Loved the movies about Amityville Horror. Greetings from Berlin, Germany. Keep it up, guys!

I love how much respect you put into all these. good man!

Very well done, you guys.!!! This story has so many twists and turns, we will never really know the true facts of what caused this horrific tragedy.

Hello I was fortunate enough to come across your Channel on KZfaq and I've watched several episodes now. After the first episode that I watch about The Conjuring I immediately subscribed to your channel. I think you guys are awesome I love how you do the research and know the true history of these places and the truth about these events that have been shown in the movies. And that is something that I really appreciate. Because that's I want the truth about what goes on in these stories. So I just want to say thank you and keep doing what you do because you both do a fantastic job. Take care.

Nobody does these historical videos better. Sometimes I wish someone would, but nobody does it, half as good as you. Grimlife your the beeeeeest!

micheal and jessica thankyou for taking us along on these vlogs u guys are the best and as always you do not tresspass and show respect, well done and happy halloween to u both 👻👻

Another great example of a true crime story that people tend to forget because of the movies, well done again for shining true light on the REAL case and for being respectful and considerate. Love the old news footage! Happy Halloween!

One I've been waiting for 🙏great video you two are welcome

Great video Mike and Jessica! Well done

Both of you are always so awesome always got such great content keep up the great work Michael and Jessica you're amazing 💚💚💚

RIP The Defeos 💔💔😢😢😭😭

BEST YOU-TUBE CHANNEL!!! I LOVE YOU GUYS!! thank you sooo much for this amazing footage!! Thank you! Much respect and love to both of yall!😎😎😎

I'm 54 and have never seen the movie. But when I was a kid in the 70s, I had the only morning paper route that covered downtown stores. Even then I was a deep thinker and in my own world, sensitive. I would toss papers to the barbershop where he called me Young Pete,(he's still cutting hair, im not lying, I still live here) the shoe store, JC Penney where I'd get my little suits for church, the donut shop, only thing open and I'd get donut holes halfway through my route, Yum! So I'm all alone, walking the papers and then I'd deliver to our two movie theaters, both sides of street. I'd look at those big horror movie posters, week after week, and month, all through the year. It was such a contrast to the blush of morning, birds singing, smell of bakery. I felt the whole dark vibe of the movie and I worried about my 5 older siblings who could go there( rated R) and why such a horrible thing was even made, and put in every town and city. There were soooo many in the 70s, and just seeing those posters was enough for me. When I was finally old enough, just the thought of going turned my stomach. . . . . I do love Halloween though, paradoxically! : ) But I like scaring people, not making them sick to their stomach . . . BOO!! Great video guys.

Hi Michael and Jessica! Love your videos and channel. You guys are awesome and amazing. Ed and Lorraine warren investigated the Amityville home.

Another great job, guys. Better than the History Channel...they got the DeFeo Family's portraits confused and said Dawn was shot with Allison. You two ALWAYS do your homework. This story is endlessly fascinating to me. Thanks for covering it.

Thanks for the cemetery visit and the bar where ron frequently visited ! Another great documentary ! Thanks Michael and Jessica keep them coming !

Great and very respectful video! This tragic story always gets me emotional.

Oh this is a awesome vlog on a subject that i know well but what do you truly believe happened one heck of a movie! & im so glad you guy's did this one Ty I know you will gibe us the facts straight! 😉 Luv&peace Mike & Jessica! Cheers to Continued success! Much appreciated Ty🤝💛

I worked for a remolding company about 6 years ago. They have a beautiful garage with a boat dock inside. I remember seeing a Villanova flag inside the garage!!!

Always fascinating! Thanks for taking me along👍!

This story and Jay Anson's book are two of my favorite memories from childhood. I've watched the first video you did on this story as well. I like that you included the interior of the church in this one. Thank you for telling a fascinating story with respect and compassion.

Brilliant video 🎃

All of those religious artifacts in the front yard of the Defeo house were purchased in Montreal at a seminary I used to go to as a child.

Great video! The Grimms Rock! Hands down, my favorite KZfaq channel.

Another brilliant, insightful and thought provoking episode. You guys are awesome 🖤

As a small kid growing up in Denmark, I was to scared to watch this movie.. it had the danish title ‘The house that God forgot’..! Great video 🙂👍

Love the way you put your videos together with old pictures and news footage, a real gem of a channel is the Grimm life collective keep up the great work ❤🇬🇧

Probably first horror movie i ever watched as a kid. I was too young for Excorsist. Amytiville Horror and the Shining def in my top 5 scary movies. The original was great didnt really care for remake. Great vid.

Thank you guys for being respectful. Your content is great and informative. Keep doin you. I'll tune in every episode.👻

I’m so glad I came across your channel, making my way through all the videos. Hello from Wales. 😊

Your ending of the video was so perfectly stated. Respect. Just respect. Be respectful, don't as you said, trespass. Those homes and the properties DO NOT belong to you. These are families just trying to live their lives without being bombarded with people creeping outside of their 🪟🪟windows🪟🪟 taking 📸picures📸, and potentially acting like a peeping Tom. Imagine how'd you'd feel if someone was doing that by your home. Very well said. Excellent video, and I definitely Subbed. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. Especially your thoughts and feelings about not pushing the boundary limits. Take care.

There were other Amityville horrors in the 19th century. A man was shot in front of his house and then somehow threw himself down the well - so claimed the defense of the men accused. The whole area was looked down upon as lawless and corrupt. I made a short video on it. Always glad to see the Amityville house and revisit the history. Thank you. Ronnie was a cold blooded killer. He even blamed his sister Dawn for killing the children before he killed her.
