Okay, so it isn't the real Amityville house, it's just a nickname. But it looks alot like the real Amityville house, yeah? They say an old man used to live here, but he went crazy and killed himself. This is Riley's hideout - where he lives and stashes all his money - so he encourages the belief that it's haunted. After all, he doesn't want anyone coming in and discovering him, does he?
