I grew up next to Amityville, Long Island NY. Up the street from the infamous Amityville horror house. Was a bar called the Dacoda Rose. A friend of the family was there one day and Ronald DeFeo, JR was sitting at the bar having a drink. They knew each other. After a while of talking, Ronnie said he had to go home for a bit. The rest is history. As he went home and killed his family, the house becoming “haunted”.
