Haunted Washington, D.C.
Abraham
Lincoln's life may have ended prema turely
when he was shot by John Wilkes Booth in 1865, but his presence
lives on at the White House. Famous later occupants, including
President Theodore Roosevelt and First Lady Grace Coolidge,
reported seeing a tall, gaunt figure in several rooms of the
residence. From time to time, people walking by on the street
have reported seeing a shadow of Lincoln's dimensions in the
window of the Oval Office where the president often stood gazing
at the Potomac River during the days of the Civil War. And
Lincoln is not the only presidential haunting in the White
House. Mary Todd Lincoln said she heard a man with the
unmistakable voice of Andrew Jackson stomping and swearing in
the Rose Room.
