In the realm of haunted history, few tales are as chilling as that of the White House, which has its own spectral residents. One of the most famous ghostly inhabitants is said to be none other than Abraham Lincoln. His ghost is reportedly seen in various parts of the mansion:
– Visitors and staff have claimed to see Lincoln’s apparition standing by the fireplace or standing at the window in Lincoln’s bedroom looking out over the Potomac. First Lady Grace Coolidge, in the 1920s, was one of the first to report seeing him.
– Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands allegedly saw Lincoln’s ghost in the Rose Room sitting on the bed, pulling on his boots.
-Winston Churchill, when a guest at the White House, claimed to see Lincoln at the foot of his bed. He refused to sleep in that room thereafter.
The White House, with its rich history, stands as not just a symbol of American democracy but also a repository of unexplained phenomena, reminding us that history has a way of lingering in more ways than one.
