Amityville is a actually a small village that is part of Babylon New York. According to legend when the settlers wanted to establish a post office they needed a name. A meeting of the town name became heated with someone yelling out, “What this meeting needs is some amity!”. It would seem that Amityville started with a hint of bedlam, something that would carry on. Years later Ronald Defoe would murder his entire family under mysterious circumstances. However, that’s just the beginning of the Amityville Haunting.
