Look Who’s Talking?
Grace Coolidge, Roosevelt, Lady Bird Johnson, and Jackie Kennedy, all of whom claimed to have seen Lincoln’s ghost or felt his presence in the White House. This would be an opportunity to address the spirits in a seance in order to talk and to find out why the spirits are still there. (Or, did they already do it.)
The Spirit Is Strong!
Multiple First Family members have noted strange and unexplained goings-on in their temporary abode. Truman wrote of hearing banging and scratches at his office door as he authorized the final development and deployment of the atom bomb. President Taft forbade mention of this image of a terrifying small boy who ran around the halls and was referred to as “The Thing”. The few stories we hear are not elaborate. Mary (and possibly also Abe) Lincoln conducted séances in its rooms. Reagan based a number of his most significant decisions on the counsel of a spiritualist.(So they say). Rumors have a way of twisting and turning.
Few Haunting Stories From The White House
Not much more is known about the haunting and spirits in the white house. Little is talked about, even today. These secrets are well guarded.
Rose Bedroom & Lincoln Bedroom
The Rose Room and the Lincoln bedroom top the chart as the most haunted rooms in the white House. According to White House lore, there is an inexplicable cold spot on the canopy bed in the room where Jackson slept. Among the most notable reports, Mary Todd Lincoln claimed to have heard Jackson swearing and White House seamstress Lilian Parks felt his presence over her, which she recounted in her memoirs about her time in the White House. Not to be outdone, Lincoln has also been spotted here in the Rose Room (bed room). When Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands stayed in this bedroom, she answered a knock on the door one night and saw Lincoln’s ghost standing in the hallway.


White House
First Built in October 1792
The White House is a structure surrounded by cameras yet deeply private; part office, part prison. But it’s not just the discomfort of living in a whitewashed fish bowl that makes 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue a place of fear. The portraits on the walls (with whom Nixon carried on drunken conversations), the antique fireplaces (coming from which Jenna Bush repeatedly heard strange voices and piano music)—every feature of the place is stained by the past. Americans will not let this building crumble since it is a historical building and historical hauntings come with it.
