The house numbered 112 in Ocean Avenue has been vacant for 13 months after the DeFeo killed his family members, up there in December 1975 p Lutz family ersebut t buy a house for $ 80,000. The house has six bedrooms was built by the Dutch colonial style, and has a curved roof. The house is equipped with swimming pool and a house boat storage area. George and Kathy were married in July 1975 and have their own homes, but want to start afresh with a new home.

Lutz moved the family home on December 18, 1975. Most of the furniture of the DeFeo family is still there, because everything is included in the sale and purchase agreement. A friend of George Lutz learned about the past history of the house, and urged them to do the blessing. But they did not understand his ways. George knew a Catholic priest named Father Ray, and he was willing to do the blessing. (In Anson's book is mentioned the name Reverend Father Mancuso. This is done to maintain the privacy of the pastor, his real name was Father Ralph J. Pecoraro).
Father Mancuso was a lawyer, Catholic priest and a psychotherapist who lives at Sacred Heart Rectory. He arrived to carry out the blessing on the afternoon of December 18, 1975 when George and Kathy were unpacking their belongings.When he first shook the holy water and began to pray, he heard a voice clearly saying "Get out!" - "Get out!". While leaving the house, he did not tell that to George and Kathy. On December 24, 1975, Father Mancuso telephoned George Lutz and advised him not to use the space where he had heard a strange sound. This space is a room that Kathy planned to use as a sewing room, and was once a bedroom Marc and John Matthew DeFeo. Phone conversation abruptly disconnected, and the next visit to Father Mancuso's house resulted in a high fever and signs found on the arms that are similar to signs of the stigmata.
In the beginning, George and Kathy Lutz did not feel strange with their homes. But then, they felt that "each one of them lived in a different house".
Some of the Lutz family's experience is described as follows:
- George always woke up at around 3:15 every morning, and then out to the house boat storage area. The estimated time is the time where DeFeo killed his family members.
- Their house was always plagued by a swarm of flies in each winter.
- Kathy had vivid nightmares about the murder and the time when they took the house. Their children also began sleeping with terlungkup, the same position at DeFeo's body was found.
- Kathy felt as if "being embraced" lovingly by an unseen force.
- Kathy discovered a small hidden room (around four feet) behind the basement. The walls were painted red and the room did not appear in the blueprints of the house. The room was then known as "The Red Room". This room has an influence on their dog Harry, who refused to go near it and cowered as if sensing something negative.

- George saw Kathy turned into an elderly woman who was about the 90's, with hair disheveled, his face with wrinkles and bad shape, and saliva dripping from the toothless mouth ".
Having decided that there was something wrong with their homes, which can not be explained rationally, George and Kathy Lutz carried out a blessing in their own way on January 8, 1976. George holds a cross made of silver while both recite prayers of the Kings, and of their living room, supposedly a lot oang voice chorus, urging them to stop: "Will you stop!".

On January 14, 1976, George and Kathy Lutz along with their three sons and their dog Harry, left the house and left many things behind the house. The next day, a worker was assigned to move the goods to be shipped to the Lutz family. He reported there is an abnormal phenomenon in the house.
This book was written after Tam Mossman, an editor at Prentice Hall publishers who introduced George and Kathy Lutz to Jay Anson. They do not work directly with Anson, but submitted via tape recordings which lasted about 45 hours, which later became the basis for writing this book. It is estimated that sales of this book reaches ten million copies of some editions. Anson said to take the basic title of his book "The Amityville Horror" from "The Dunwich Horror" by HP Lovecraft, published in 1929.
