Uneasy spirits
By Casey Gillis on Oct. 13, 2010
BEDFORD — Peggy Graybill’s first ghostly encounter at the Avenel was more than 30 years ago.

Sandusky House, circa 1808
September 14, 2007: Investigation Sandusky House in Lynchburg, VA
Built circa 1808 by Charles Johnston, the home was named Sandusky House to commemorate Mr. Johnston’s escape from a band of Shawnee Indians near Sandusky, Ohio. The house was sold in 1818 and purchased by George C. Hutter, who established strong ties with Thomas Jefferson’s Poplar Forest, a neighboring plantation. In June of 1864, the house was commandeered by Union General David Hunter and used as headquarters for the famous Battle of Lynchburg. Read the rest of this entry »
