The White House decided to celebrate Halloween in an original and informative way. On this day, an excursion was organized for students and children of the military, during which they told about the ghosts of the White House. This was reported on the website of the residence of the American president.
The guests were greeted by Abraham Lincoln. He led them into the dining room and the Oval Office. In total, 4,000 guests visited the presidential residence. Many of them were dressed in suits.
“Since its founding in the late 19th century, the White House at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue has become one of the most famous addresses in America. However, few people know about his ghostly past. Residents of the White House and employees told about the ghosts that live here, - said in the message.
For example, visitors were told about David Burns, who sold the land on which a white house was built in 1972. It is said that his ghost can still be seen there. And also about 22-year-old Anna Surrat, who was hanged because she helped the conspirator John Booth, who shot Abraham Lincoln. On the day of her hanging, July 7, she can be seen sitting on the steps or hanging from the doors.
