Chapter Eighty-Nine: Villa No. 112
Professor Jiang talked about a case of the real Borderez phenomenon that occurred in the United States:
It was a dark, tumultuous night in the fall of 1974, and the Defoe family—Defoe I, his wife Louis, and their sons Duefel, Mark, John, and daughters Dawn, and Allison slept peacefully in a three-story house left behind by Dutch colonists in the town of Amy Tiwe, New York.
Just as everyone was asleep, in an instant, Dufeel used a high-performance rifle to murder six members of the family who were sleeping, and when the police controlled Dufeel, he did not admit that he did it, but claimed that his brain ordered it.
The killer Duefel is still serving his sentence in a New York prison until his death. This incident shocked the whole United States at the time. And the strangest thing about this case is that all six victims were found lying face down on the bed, with no signs of struggling and applying painkillers. It is still unclear why everyone did not resist after hearing the gunshots.
After hours of interrogation by the police, Duefel finally gave up the lie of murder by the mafia members and confessed that he was the one who killed the entire family. But at the trial of the murder, Dufeer argued that on the night of the murder, he heard a voice that ordered him to kill. In court, Duefel argued: "I looked around, but there was no one in the house at all, so it must have been God's will." Eventually, the court convicted Dufeer of serial murder of six people and imprisoned him in Greenhaven Prison in New York, where his 1999 parole request was later denied.
However, the events about the house were far from over, and when the George Luts moved into a three-story villa in the Armitifyler neighborhood of Long Island, New York, in December 1975, they did not expect that the house would change the fate of their lives.
The house was located at 112 Ocean Boulevard on Long Island, New York, and they bought it for $80,000. According to the land price at the time, it couldn't have been cheaper.
The reason why it is so cheap is precisely because in 1974, a homicide occurred in this house that caused a sensation in the United States.
This is what I said about late one night in 1974, in this house, a 23-year-old young man with a pistol, Dufeel shot room after room, killing his parents and four siblings in their sleep.
"Despite the murders in the house, we bought it for $80,000 to have a house of our own." George Lutz recalled.
This was also the beginning of their family's nightmare......
When they first moved in, Lutz recalled, they invited the Rev. Ray Piccolaro of Long Island Church to join them in the villa for the purpose of warding off evil spirits in the house.
However, no one could have imagined that Pastor Piccolaro's face changed dramatically not long after he entered the room. Lutz asked him what was the matter, and Pastor Piccolaro said that as he passed through the sewing room, he felt a hand tap on his shoulder, and a voice said to him, "Get out!" ”
Within a few days of his return, Pastor Piccolaro fell ill with a flu-like illness and two hands suddenly cracked and bleeding. It wasn't long before Pastor Picolaro died.
Lutz also heard about the priest's death, but despite this, the Lutz couple decided to move ahead and move into the house.
Because they had spent most of their savings to buy the house, they had nowhere to go.
However, on the first day they moved in, they had a sleepless night.
"There was a peculiar smell in the room." Lutz recalled.
And Lutz remembers: "There were all kinds of strange sounds in the room. In the middle of the night, there would be a sudden banging on the front door of the living room, and we had locked it before we went to sleep. For many days, when we woke up the next morning, we would see some strange gelatinous substance dripping all over the carpet. ”
Mr. Lutz said he had to wake up mysteriously at 3:15 a.m. almost every day after he moved into the house, noting that it was at the same time a year ago that Mr. Duefel, 23, shot and killed his parents and siblings.
According to Lutz, "The most terrible thing was waking up one night and seeing his wife suspended in mid-air. (There is no way to verify this)
After 28 days in this horrific villa, the Lutz family could no longer take it anymore and fled the mansion in a hurry.
The Luts' horrific experience in the villa later attracted widespread attention after it was revealed by the media.
Two months after the Lutzes moved out of the house, New York journalist Laura Dideo invited a group of experts in the occult sciences to explore the house.
Investigators spent the night in the room, walking from house to room, all in anticipation of some kind of paranormal phenomenon.
Lauraini Warren, one of the investigators at the time, recalled that he felt a "terrible and irresistible sense of depression" in the house, and the team took a series of photographs of the villa, in which the researchers found "the face of a little boy in an unoccupied bedroom window."
George Lutz believes in an exclusive interview that the reason why the murderer Dufeel killed all his family members in this house may not be out of his own will, but because of the "ghost mind" of this horror villa.
Because at the beginning of the trial of the murder of Dufeel, Duefel defended himself, saying that on the night of the murder, he heard a certain sound, and his mind began to go insane, and he became completely unable to control himself. But what he thought was an outlandish judgment did not constitute evidence, so the jury rejected his plea and sentenced him to life in prison.
Lutz later made an appointment with Duefel's lawyer, William Webb, as Webber was working on a murder novel about his client.
Lutz's account of 28 days in a villa of horrors captivated him, and he said he would include what happened to him in his book.
However, since Lutz asked for a share of the revenue from the release of his novel, Weber became suspicious of his story. Webb later told reporters, "He lied. I think he wanted to make a name for himself and make a lot of money by working with me to write best-selling novels. ”
The collaboration with William Webb fell through, and in 1976, Lutz collaborated with writer Jay Anson on the non-fiction horror novel "The Horror of Armityville", which was printed 13 times and had a total circulation of more than 6 million copies.
Three years later, the movie of the same name adapted from the novel became even more popular in the United States.
Lutz has always insisted that he is not making up any plots, and that if he did, he could have made a better story.
There is also a legend that there used to be an Indian tribe who lived here and later this place became the city of Amityville. It is said that the area where 112 Ocean Avenue is located was originally used as a quarantine room, and that the tribe left the sick and insane to fend for themselves.
According to this legend, the ghosts that wander here are the unjust Indian souls.
Another legend is that during the witch trials, there was a man named John. The men of Kazim escaped from Salem and built a house on the spot where the haunted house was.
The legend suggests that Kakim used the house to continue his nefarious practice of "worshiping Satan" and used many pigs and dogs as sacrifices. According to this legend, Kaqim opened a "gate to hell" that never closed, and the "horrors" that followed were the result of the devil's arrival on earth.
Naturally, there are many other legends that say that the house was built on top of an abandoned cemetery, or that the house was cursed by an early ghost town resident who was killed.
In 1977, a couple, James and Barbara Cromerty, bought the "haunted house" and changed the address to 108 Ocean Street to protect privacy, and the reputation of this "haunted house" gradually became much smaller.
Mr. and Mrs. Krometti have lived in this "haunted house" for 10 years. Mr. Krometti, 77, told reporters in an interview: "Nothing strange happened in the house, except for the people who watched the film or the novel. ”
Neighbors told reporters that there were always people who came to the house on Halloween and craned their necks to look inside. The property advertisement states that the house has "an interesting history".
In 1987, the Cromerty couple sold the house to Peter and Jenna O'Neill, and they lived there for 10 years without anything strange happening.
In 1997, the O'Neals sold the house to their current owner, Wilson, for $310,000. The last three owners were not bound by agreement and all made alterations to the villa.
After 2000, the Crometti couple revisited the house last year, but they were also surprised by the changes in the décor, especially the dark rumbling hallway that has now been transformed into a bright sunroom. The real estate agent said the $1.15 million price was very reasonable, and joked that "selling a house doesn't tie ghosts."
After talking about this incident, Professor Jiang said with a smile: "Do you think this incident is somewhat similar to what you have experienced?" ”
Chaoyang and Cherry listened to it completely according to the story, and after listening to it, Chaoyang also thought of the famous horror movie, but he didn't expect it to be based on this event. But the two didn't understand what Professor Jiang meant, what does this haunted villa have to do with what they encountered?
Professor Jiang looked at Chaoyang and Cherry a little dazed, and he said again: "Also, blame me for not making it clear, it seems that you still don't know what happened to the Old Fourth Courtyard of Syracuse!" ”
Chaoyang hurriedly asked, "Could it be that what we experienced really came from that broken hospital?" ”
Professor Jiang nodded and said, "I think so." ”
"What happened there? Why was it abandoned, and later it was rumored to be a ghost hospital? ”
Professor Jiang frowned and said, "I also heard some rumors, but there is no way to verify them. ”
"Then you're going to tell us about it?" Cherry said.
Professor Jiang nodded after hearing this......
