The house is infamous for a tragic past: in 1974, Ronald DeFeo Jr. killed six members of his family there, a dark legacy that lingers over the property and ties the location to lingering whispers of the supernatural. Ronald DeFeo Jr. Luke Barnett is referenced as the ghostly figure tied to the home, a reminder of the estate’s history that unsettles the family from the outset.
