The Amityville Horror house on Long Island is listed for $850,000 (£585,000). It’s the site of a tragic mass murder in 1974, when a man shot his parents and four siblings. His lawyers said voices in the house made him do it, but that’s where reality ends and “The Amityville Hoax” begins, according to locals and listing agent Gerald O’Neill of Coldwell Banker Harbor Light.
“I’ve known that house for 50 years,” said O’Neill, who spent a lot of time there growing up, when a friend lived in the house.
The address is different from when the murders happened, because the post office changed it at the request of one of the owners. But people still know the house, and O’Neill is trying hard to “avoid any people want to see the house just for the sake of seeing it.”
“There’ve been four owners since the murders, and none of them ran out of the house screaming, and there were no strange experiences,” O’Neill said. His own brother lived there for a decade with his family.
