This is the infamous Amityville Horror house on Long Island, New York, taken a couple of weeks ago. In 1974 Ronald DeFeo Jr shot and killed six members of his family. Thirteen months later the Lutzes moved in, fleeing 28 days later after allegedly being terrorised by paranormal activity which was to become the subject of the book and original film.
The house remained empty for more than a year before being bought by the current owners. Tourist activity was intense for a number of years but seems to have diminished considerably in recent times. I was staying a few minutes drive away and got these pictures as discreetly as I could without upsetting anybody.
The iconic quarter circle top floor windows which resembled eyes were replaced some years ago with the square ones seen here.
