In December 1975, George and Kathleen and their children moved into a house at 112 Ocean Avenue, a Dutch colonial mansion in Amityville, a suburban neighborhood located on the south shore of Long Island, New York. Thirteen months before the Lutz family moved in, Ronald DeFeo, Jr.., The previous owner, had shot dead six members of his family in the house. After 28 days, Lutz family was living at home, they began to feel strange things in the house.
The house numbered 112 on Ocean Avenue has been vacant for 13 months after the DeFeo murdered his family members, until in December 1975 Lutz family bought the house for $ 80,000.

Lutz family moved house on December 18, 1975. Most of the DeFeo family furniture was still there, because everything is included in the sale and purchase agreement. A friend of George Lutz learned about the past history of the house, and urged them to do the blessing. But they did not understand his ways. George knew a Catholic priest named Father Ray, and he was willing to do the blessing. (In Anson's book is mentioned the name of Reverend Father Mancuso. This is done to maintain the privacy of the pastor, his real name was Father Ralph J. Pecoraro).

He arrived to carry out the blessing on the afternoon of December 18, 1975 when George and Kathy were unpacking their belongings. When he first shook holy water and began to pray, he heard a voice clearly saying "Get out!" - "Get out!". When leaving the house, he did not tell that to George and Kathy.
