4 paranormal groups agree: Andover’s Haunted House is haunted BY KATHRYN ROSS
ANDOVER — For the last 25 years, the Andover Haunted House Committee has been cashing in each October on the belief that its house on West Greenwood Street is haunted and at least four paranormal investigative groups say they are right. The Andover Haunted House Committee uses the funds they raise each Halloween season to help a variety of charities and provide scholarships for Andover students. After several years of staging haunted house adventures at a variety of sites throughout the village, the committee settled its activities in a three-story brick house at 5 West Greenwood Street. The imposing structure dates from 1876 when it was constructed by Dr. William Crandall following a suspicious fire that had destroyed the first structure the doctor built on the site. He treated patients in a sanitorium there until his death in 1899. At the turn of the century a sanitorium was an establishment for the medical treatment of people who were convalescing or who had a chronic
illness such as tuberculosis. After Crandall’s death the property was purchased by DB Spalding for his home. The property then passed to the Rev. and Hattie Eggleston. Upon the untimely death of the reverend the property was sold as a summer home to a couple who later sold it back to the widow Hattie Eggleston. She was a well-known local nurse who opened the house again as a sanitorium and maternity hospital. She is noted as having delivered more than 700 babies. Many of them were delivered in the structure the Andover
Haunted House Committee would nickname The Brick. After Eggleston passed the building was purchased and converted to an apartment house. Like many older, dilapidated structures, The Brick already had a reputation of being haunted when the committee moved into it. They capitalized on the reputation. But as one member recalled a few years ago, many members began to think it might be haunted when strange, unexplainable things happened while they decorated the house for Halloween.

Area libraries land $1.26M in state building grants BY BOB CLARK
OLEAN — More than a dozen area libraries received aid from the state’s Public Library Construction Grants program, the region’s state senator reported. Sen. George Borrello, R-Sunset Bay, announced $1.26 million in aid for 16 libraries in the Chautauqua-Cattaraugus, Pioneer and Southern Tier library systems will see aid to help with renovation
and construction. “Funding our public libraries is one of the best investments we can make in our communities,” Borrello said. “As I have said many times in the past, libraries are no longer ‘just the place with the books.’ They are community centers that provide vital services. They are also information and technology hubs that serve students, job seekers and people of all backgrounds. Their importance was highlighted
during the pandemic and they deserve this added support.” Area libraries receiving aid include: • Bolivar Free Library will receive $201,190 to install an elevator lift in the main area of the building to provide accessibility to all three levels. • David A. Howe Public Library in Wellsville will receive $150,622 to replace and upgrade the lower floor roof.
• Twentieth Century Club Library in Almond will receive $66,420 to replace exposed cast iron radiators and piping with in-floor radiant heating and renovate a downstairs bathroom to be ADA compliant. • Colonial Library in Richburg will receive $30,045 to install a paved parking lot, exterior lights and directional signage. • Essential Club
Free Library in Canaseraga will receive $5,625 to upgrade an existing ADA compliant ramp and main entrance to improve accessibility and safety. • Angelica Free Library will receive $4,537 to install two natural gas furnace units along with accompanying duct work and insulation.
