The ghosts of Sweet Briar: There seem to be only two, but they're everywhere.
Since the college opened, founder Indiana Fletcher Williams and her daughter, Daisy, have been making spectral appearances or causing goose-bumpy goings-on all over campus, or so the stories go. Here's how they've made their presence known:
* A chandelier in Sweet Briar House (at right) going on and off by itself. Daisy playing?
* A moving cloud appearing in Sweet Briar House's pier mirrors.
* The strings of Daisy's harp in Sweet Briar House vibrating on their own.
* A college curator hearing a low, disembodied laugh after she identified an unsigned photograph as a rare image of Indiana Williams.
* The sounds of moving furniture coming from an unoccupied dorm room.
Hear more during the college's annual ghost tours Friday through Wednesday, starting at 5 and 6 p.m. Admission $5. Call the Sweet Briar Museum (434-381-6246) for info.
