Amityville Horror Hoax: DeFeo and Lutz Collaboration

In 1974, Ronald DeFeo Jr. committed the gruesome murder of six family members in Amityville. In 1975, the Lutz family moved into the same house, claiming supernatural attacks. Years later, it was revealed that DeFeo's lawyer and the Lutz family collaborated on a hoax, working with a novelist to profit from the fabricated story, later adapted into The Amityville Horror movie.
