The house on McMahon Road first gained notoriety when a book, “Echoes of a Haunting,” was published in September 2000 by Xlibris Corp. written by Clara Miller/Dandy.
Clara and Phil Dandy lived in the house along with their children in the early 1970s. During their time there, they were visited by many spirits . Father Alphonsus, a priest from St. Bonaventure University was at the house more than once to perform an exorcism which worked for awhile but as time went by the Dandy family lost the battle and ended up leaving the house for good.
