A year after the horrific murders occurred the house sat until the Lutz family decided to buy the High Hopes Murder House for $88,000 on December 18, 1975. The furniture from the DeFeo family was still partial in the house which the Lutz family paid an additional $400 as apart of their mortgage. The Lutz family stayed in the High Hopes Murder house for less than 30 days.

George Lutz reports he would wake up every morning at the boathouse around 3:00 Am-3:15 Am which is around the time of the murders. The Lutz family also states that they would have an unbearable fly problem even in the cold months.

Kathy Lutz has stated that she would have nightmares regarding murder on a constant basis. She also mentioned she would always fell her body taking over by unseen entities. George and Kathy also would later on go on the record stating they would see images of demons with parts of their heads missing.

Their daughter Missy went on to make friends with an imaginary demonic force named “Jodie.” At night the family would claim they would hear the front door slamming shut but when they would go to check things out the door would be closed and there would be no evidence that the door was ever open.
