    Amityville Horror: The True Story

    112 Ocean Avenue may be the most infamous haunted house in America.In November 1974, Ronald “Butch” DeFeo Jr. murdered six members of his family inside their Amityville, New York home. Just over a year later, George and Kathy Lutz moved into the house with their children—and fled only 28 days later, claiming they had experienced something terrifying.Strange odors. Unexplained cold spots. Invisible forces. Glowing red eyes outside the windows. A mysterious figure appearing in photographs. And claims of a presence so dark that the story would eventually become known around the world as The Amityville Horror.But almost from the beginning, questions followed.Was the Lutz family really terrorized by something inside 112 Ocean Avenue? Did the brutal DeFeo murders somehow leave something behind? Or did lawyers, authors, paranormal investigators, and Hollywood help transform a real tragedy into one of the most successful supernatural stories ever told?In this State Files case, we go back to where it all began—the murders, the Lutz family’s 28 days inside the house, the paranormal investigation, and the controversy that still surrounds Amityville more than 50 years later.Because when you strip away the movies and the mythology, one question remains:What really happened at 112 Ocean Avenue?Subscribe to The State Files as we investigate the stories, legends, sightings, and unexplained cases that refuse to disappear.#AmityvilleHorror #HauntedHouse #TrueStory #Paranormal #TrueCrime #GhostStories #TheStateFilesChapters00:00 - Welcome to 112 Ocean Avenue00:54 - The DeFeo Family Murders (November 1974)01:47 - The Lutz Family Moves In02:22 - The Haunting Begins: 3:15 AM & the Priest03:03 - Jodie the Demon Pig, Green Slime & Levitation03:35 - Ed & Lorraine Warren and the Ghost Boy Photo04:08 - The Hoax Confession: William Weber Speaks04:55 - Debunking Every Claim (Cat, Spaghetti & No Snow)05:49 - The Ghost Boy Was Just Paul06:19 - The Book, the Movies & the Money06:41 - What Happened to the Real House07:11 - The True Horror of Amityville08:02 - The Legend That Never Left (Dee)08:58 - Credit Reel Banter: The Real Mystery (The Crew)10:45 - Disclaimer (Duncan)11:12 - Next Time on The State Files (Cowboy)``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````Join Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cw/TheStateFiles Website: https://thestatefiles.comCase File Requests: https://thestatefiles.com/requestsCase File Archive: https://thestatefiles.com/the-amityville-horror/

    The Doomsday Book: The Adam and Eve Story

    What if human civilization has been wiped out before? In this episode of The State Files, Cooper investigates one of the most controversial books ever associated with government secrecy—The Adam and Eve Story by Chan Thomas, often referred to by researchers as The Doomsday Book. The book proposes that Earth experiences recurring global catastrophes capable of reshaping continents, reversing magnetic poles, and resetting civilization. Decades after it was written, portions of the manuscript appeared in the CIA's declassified archives, fueling speculation that authorities may have taken an interest in its extraordinary claims. But how much of the story is supported by evidence? What did Chan Thomas actually write? And why has this book remained at the center of so many discussions about hidden history, ancient civilizations, and catastrophic Earth cycles? In this episode we examine: • Who Chan Thomas was • The origins of The Adam and Eve Story • The CIA declassification that reignited interest • Claims of recurring global catastrophes and pole shifts • The scientific arguments both for and against the theory • Why the story continues to fascinate researchers today At The State Files, our goal isn't to tell you what to believe. We explore the evidence, the history, the eyewitness accounts, and the unanswered questions so you can decide for yourself.

    UFO Tech, Frogman & Quantum Weirdness | The Dispatch 006

    In this episode of The Dispatch, we’re jumping between UAP releases, strange retrieval claims, cryptid folklore, quantum weirdness, and one of the biggest questions hiding underneath the UFO topic: could advanced energy technology already exist?We break down the third UAP release, look at claims involving China and Russia’s alleged crash retrieval programs, revisit the strange legend of the Loveland Frogman, and explore how quantum entanglement keeps showing up in conversations about consciousness, communication, and high strangeness.And we ask the bigger question: if UFOs are real, and if even part of the reverse-engineering story is true, what does that mean for the future of energy?#UFO #UAP #Disclosure #TheStateFiles #LovelandFrogman #Cryptids #FreeEnergy #QuantumEntanglementChapters:00:00 Introduction01:24 Third UAP Release03:29 China & Russia UAP Retrieval Claims06:01 The Loveland Frogman09:03 Quantum Entanglement13:00 UFO's & Free Energy``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````Website: https://thestatefiles.comCase File Requests: https://thestatefiles.com/requestsThe Dispatch Archive: https://thestatefiles.com/category/the-dispatch/

    Betty and Barney Hill: The UFO Abduction Case That Changed Everything

    Betty and Barney Hill were not looking for fame, attention, or a place in UFO history. But after a late-night drive through New Hampshire in 1961, their lives changed forever.In this episode, we break down the full Betty and Barney Hill case — the strange light over Route 3, the missing time, the buzzing sounds, the damaged clothing, the hypnosis sessions, Betty’s star map, and the debate that still surrounds their story more than 60 years later.Was this the first widely known alien abduction case in America? A psychological event shaped by fear, dreams, and suggestion? Or something genuinely unexplained?This is one of the most important and influential UFO cases ever recorded — not just because of what Betty and Barney said happened, but because their story helped shape the modern abduction narrative that followed.In this case file, we explore the encounter, the investigation, the skeptical arguments, and the emotional toll the experience seemed to leave behind.What do you think really happened to Betty and Barney Hill?#BettyAndBarneyHill #UFO #AlienAbduction #UAP #UnexplainedMysteries #thestatefiles 00:00 Betty & Barney Hill Trailer02: 05 Introduction02:53 Cold Open04:14 The Night Drive07:02 The Buzzing, The Drive, The Gap08:31 The Morning After10:11 The Dreams11:32 The Investigation12:22 Hypnosis13:58 The Star Map15:05 Dr Benjamin Simon's Conclusion16:50 Skeptics & Believers (Summary)20:59 Betty & Barney Hill Update21:37 Credits Reel Banter (Cooper, Dee & Duncan)22:46 Disclaimer (Duncan)23:12 End Screen`````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````Website: https://thestatefiles.comCase File Requests: https://thestatefiles.com/requestsCase File Archive: https://thestatefiles.com/the-betty-and-barney-hill-case/

    UFO Plasma, Grey Aliens & Gov UAP Files | The Dispatch 005

    In episode 005 of The Dispatch, we look at what happens when the unknown becomes familiar.We start with the Grey Alien — the face most people picture when they hear the word “alien.” Where did that image come from, why did it stick, and how did it become the default symbol of extraterrestrial life?Then we look at UFOs and plasma — not just as a possible natural explanation for some strange lights in the sky, but as a possible clue to how advanced UFO technology might interact with the atmosphere.Next, we break down the Pentagon UFO files released on May 8, including what the release means, what it doesn’t prove, and why the public now has to sort through a messy archive of videos, documents, images, and unresolved cases.And finally, we end on something lighter: roadside aliens — the gift shops, statues, diners, festivals, and desert highways where America turned the UFO mystery into a tourist attraction.Different subjects.Same question:What happens when the unknown becomes familiar?Timestamps00:00 Introduction01:06 The Grey Alien05:04 UFO's & Plasma09:08 Government UFO Files10:45 Roadside Aliens14:32 Cooper's Take``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````Website:https://thestatefiles.com/category/the-dispatch/

    UFO's & Nukes, Mars & Hollywood | The Dispatch 004

    In this episode of The Dispatch, we look at the strange places where science, UFO history, ancient speculation, and pop culture all start to overlap.We begin on Mars, where new discoveries continue to raise questions about the planet’s ancient past — including signs that water may have once shaped the Martian landscape in ways we’re still trying to understand.Then we turn back to Earth, where the long connection between UFO sightings and nuclear sites continues to be one of the most unsettling patterns in the entire UAP conversation. From military bases to missile facilities, the question remains: why do these reports keep showing up around humanity’s most dangerous technology?We also look at the growing relationship between Hollywood, science fiction, and disclosure culture. Are movies and shows simply reflecting our fascination with the unknown — or have they been preparing the public to think about contact, advanced intelligence, and life beyond Earth in a different way?And finally, we explore the Pleiadians — one of the most well-known and controversial subjects in contactee lore. Are they a spiritual myth, a modern UFO belief system, or part of a much older human desire to believe that something out there may be watching, guiding, or waiting?This is The Dispatch — a weekly look at the stories, mysteries, and patterns shaping the conversation around the unknown.Topics in this episode include:Mars discoveries, ancient water on Mars, UFOs and nuclear sites, Robert Hastings, UFOs and Nukes, Hollywood and disclosure, alien contact, the Pleiadians, UAP history, extraterrestrial life, and the future of disclosure.Subscribe to The State Files for cinematic case files, mystery investigations, UFO history, strange phenomena, and thoughtful conversations about the unknown.#TheDispatch #TheStateFiles #UFOs #UAP #Mars #Disclosure #Pleiadians #AlienContact #UFOHistory #RobertHastingsTimestamps00:00 Introduction00:58 UFO's & Nukes04:02 The Pleiadians07:39 Mars Bathtub Ring10:08 Hollywood Disclosure13:57 Hollywood Endings (Cooper's Take)
