The famous house is once again for sale at $1.5 million dollars. And I have to wonder why anyone would pay $1.5 million dollars to deliberately live in a place where such horror has happened. It has 5 bedrooms, each one the scene of a murder. I could not live in a place where children were slaughtered. A haunted house? Yes. This thing?..no.

As soon as I saw the second picture, I recognized the house. De Salvo, right?
sorry...DeFeo....
thats a fabu home tho. But no thanks. I wonder if they lease it out or what? Who would buy it? really? They probably can't give it away. But...everyone isn't aware of it's history and I'm sure the inside is fabulous. If I lived there & didn't know it's history, I would be OK, I think. But once you learn about it, you'd be outta there like a scared rabbit. & it prob is haunted! Very!!!!

i think you have to tell buyers that there was a death on the property....
wasn't it built on an indian burial ground? or was that just a selling fake point of the book?
you don't mess around with native americans....especially their burial grounds.....
From what I've read the book claimed it was a place the Indians left their mentally ill and dying. The local Indians say that is not true.
I wouldn't like the idea of living somewhere that I knew murders had taken place but honestly, it's just a house..a shell. The murders were over 30 years ago. If I got a good enough deal on it and it had been renovated, as it obviously has, I would live in it.
I disagree that it's a shell. It might be, but, it might not be and considering the case it probably isn't a shell. No one who's sensitive could have peace there. I spent the night in a famous murder house, the murder involved 6 children, 2 adults. It was not a shell and I will never go there again. I learned my lesson.
Pat please tell us about where you went.
I'f you can ? Please ? I'd love to read about
that house you spent time in. Did anything
manifest during your visit ? Can u post it ?
Kiki
Yeah! I remember you writing about staying at the Villisca house. I wouldn't, you have a lot of guts DD!
i remember what you wrote about that house too DD!
Even though I'm not a big fan of the "Amityville Horror" flicks, I recognized that house right away.
I've heard the guy who wrote the book made up almost everything he wrote. Still, doesn't change the fact a whole family was murdered there. I wouldn't want to live in that house...too sad.
DD...please post the site with the Moore (?) house. You had some other things on there that I would like to see again.
How is the "homestead" doing? I hope it has calmed down for you.

Eventually some macabre asshole will turn this place into a bed and breakfast. It should be torn down.
DD - Is that the house in Villisca? I 've seen that place on a few ghost show and just recently in a repeat on the Travel Channel's Weird Places. The side view of that house reminds you of this one on Long Island.
There was a medium in the house on one of the shows who said the evil lingering ghost is the murderer of the family and their friends. And he won't leave because he told the medium he likes it there. Found a link: http://www.villiscaiowa.com/
I love this stuff but, I don't think I could be brave enough to do an overnight thing!

This must have been before I discovered your
site DD where could I find the post do you know
when it was ?

Jane have you ever been to the haunted Myrtles plantation
in St Francisville LA ? It is a masive place. Over 200 years old when I went down there the owners would allow tourists to spend the night but declined postehaste ! I had an easyfeeling on the tour as soon as stoping into the house itself. However I could breath alot easier on the
propertys grounds outside the pink & purple crepe myrtle
plants perfumed the air as it intertwined with the electicity
all around the plantation.

Miss Tia, after I read about DD's experience at the Moore's house, I became OBSESSED with axe murderers!! I would read everything I could find about them for MONTHS. From the moment I woke up until I had to get my eyes off the monitor to do my wifely duties....and then some!
Kiki, I tried doing a search here on the blog but I can't find the post...with the new layout youu can't really go farther than 2008 I believe.....I think she posted it sometime in 07. Maybe Pat could re-post that entry for those who are late?
Please DD?
Yikes, sorry, they'd have to pay me to take that one.
I think it would make a good bed and breakfast. People will pay big money to spend the night in a place like that. You noticed I didn't say sleep!
Maybe if they put the original windows back in.....
Dracula's Castle, now that is a place to go visit. I have just seen some shows about it and the weird things that happen there. Just by nature of the fear and torture, starvation and miserable weather it has to be a charged-up place.
Monasteries, like the one pictured in "The Name of the Rose" with Sean Connery, or the ones from the times of the crusades-ouuch!. Sleep with one eye open and a hand on your wallet.
You could also turn that house into a Jehova Witness Hall and see who wins.

The Moore House of Villisca is on here somewhere with my photos of it and the story. I'll have to look for it, unless one of you finds it first.
Jar, Dracula's castle was for sale a while back. OMG, I would love to see that place.
Still thinking..my theory about the Moore house is that it scared me so much because whatever is in there pretends to be the chidren. It is NOT children, it is the evil that caused the death of those children. It sucks people in, they think they're hearing the innocent children..omg, it was so evil.
Oh my DD what year did you visit the place ?
I've been looking Ive only known you for about
a year so it had to have been long before
that time then. I hope someone finds it and
alerts you so u can repost it. I want to read
about more now that I just read your last entry
to this post. Kiki :)
I wonder why they changed the windows. That was the best part of the house.
Jane, I think I read somewhere that they did it to discourage lookie-loos. The folks that bought it apparently got it for a song and said they never had any issues living there.
There is just something so captivating about the Amityville story and the scandals that surround this house.
There is a great website called the Amityville Files that has tons of information about the DeFeo murders, the Lutzes, the Crowmartys, the lawsuits, and the books. The site even has information on the paranormal investigations.
Been there, read that. LOL. I have read everything on this house, the Lutz's, the DeFoe's, The pn investigation..everything. It's still a mystery.
