His Best Friend

Ricky’s best friend was a guy named Jimmy Troiano who was said to always be by Ricky’s side. And it wasn’t just Jimmy, he also had another friend named Albert Quinones and a few other boys that they would hang out with. And with all of them having a taste for the forbidden, only fueled even more by the drugs, they soon were joining such practices as ‘Walpurgisnacht,’ a satanic ritual that they had performed in the infamous Amityville House of Horror.

The Satanic Bible

Apparently, Ricky had become mesmerized by a book written by Anton LaVey called ‘The Satanic Bible.’ And this is where he had learned about Walpurgisnacht, otherwise known as ‘Witches’ Night,’ as well as how to perform it. To make matters even creepier, he and bunch of other’s from ‘The Nights of the Black Circle’ group would go to the Amityville house where Ronald DeFeo, Jr. had not only killed his parents, but his four siblings as well.
