Grace Coolidge, wife of President Calvin Coolidge, entered the Oval Hall. There she hoped to see her husband. By the window overlooking Pennsylvania Avenue stood … Abraham Lincoln. The long-deceased president turned and looked thoughtfully at the country's first lady. Suddenly Lincoln disappeared …
Abraham Lincoln died in 1865. He was shot by a terrorist, the accident happened at the Ford Theater. Many years have passed since the death of the famous Abraham Lincoln. But the spirit of Lincoln is still seen. He wanders the long corridors of the White House. The first time a maid saw the ghost of the 16th President of the United States. Lincoln tried to light a fire in the fireplace. Perhaps he was very cold. The maid froze in place with fear. Lincoln, apparently, felt uncomfortable (he probably didn't want to frighten the girl), he disappeared into thin air and disappeared. No one believed the frightened maid, but the rumor that another ghost had settled in the White House quickly spread …
Years passed, the Roosevelt couple settled in the White House. Eleanor Roosevelt's office was located in Lincoln's former bedroom. Every evening, while working, the woman felt someone's gaze on her. Eleanor looked up from the documents, turned around but … did not notice anyone.
At that time, the ghost of Lincoln was a frequent visitor to the White House. One day the maid Kate Smith went into Roosevelt's bedroom to change the bedding. The woman thought there was no one there. But a man was sitting on the bed and tying the laces on his boots. Kate recognized him as Abraham. The woman screamed in fright, Lincoln looked at her guiltily and disappeared.
Licoln sometimes knocked on the doors to get in. So, the Dutch queen Wilhelmina arrived in Washington for the Roosevelt couple on a business visit. She stayed at the White House for a while. Late one evening, there was a knock on Wilhelmina's bedroom door. The Queen hurried to open it. On the threshold stood … the spirit of the late president. Abraham Lincoln greeted the queen and … disappeared.
Ronald Reagan's daughter has seen the ghost of Abraham Lincoln more than once. The daughter of Lincon Johnson, Linda, could boast of the same. In addition, she assured that something strange was constantly happening in the nursery in which Jenna Bush now lives. Often there were some voices, early music, strange tapping. And Harry Truman told his loved ones that Lincoln was always present in the room when someone was playing the piano. After all, Abraham really liked music. So, for example, as soon as Reagan himself played a funny or exciting melody, something strange began to happen in the hall. In the empty dark corners soft sighs were heard, and once all the candles were extinguished!
Rumor has it that Lincoln's spirit never left the White House. Many people still see him.
But Lincoln isn't the only one visiting the country's main building. The ghost of the late Theodore Roosevelt was seen there more than once. He only appears in one special bedroom. It is called "the hellish bedchamber." The daughter of the 33rd President of the United States, Harry Truman, once lived in this room. The girl more than once saw the ghost of Theodore Roosevelt there. At first she was very afraid of him, and then she got used to a neighbor from the other world and conducted long conversations in an empty room. Some servants said that the girl had gone crazy, while others heard someone answer her. It is said that Harry Truman sometimes asked his daughter to ask the late president's advice.

The spirit of the late President Andrew Jackson also became one of the "guests" of the White House. For a long time in the old building one can hear laughter, chilling blood. This is the laugh of Andrew, the seventh president of the United States, a womanizer and a joker. At one time he was fond of the occult sciences.
Lillian Park worked as a maid at the White House in 1961. A woman was cleaning a pink bedroom that once belonged to Andrew Jackson. Suddenly there was a disgusting chuckle. The voice came closer and then receded. In the mirror in the far corner of the room, Lillian saw the face of Andrew Jackson. He laughed and apparently enjoyed the maid's fright. Lillian ran out of the room in horror. Suddenly, in the distance, at the very end of the corridor, she noticed the silhouette of a woman. It floated through the air, leaving wet footprints on the floor. What was it? Lillian was at a loss. She applied for resignation the next day.
There are many ghosts in the White House. People will think I'm crazy, but I'm not kidding. I heard and saw them there,”Jenna Bush, President Bush's daughter, told the Texas Monthly. Many different events took place in this building: good and not so. The mighty of this world stayed, lived and died in the White House.
Somehow Jenna was going to go to bed. Suddenly, the girl heard singing, somehow coming from the fireplace. The voice was masculine. The singer sang an old aria. Jenna was scared. In the morning, she told her sister Barbara about the incident. Barbara didn't believe her and laughed. And yet Jenna persuaded her skeptical sister to set up an ambush at night. The girls settled in the room and waited a long time for a voice. At about one o'clock in the morning, Barbara wanted to go to her room, to sleep. She had already said goodbye to her sister and went to the door when suddenly music was heard from the direction of the fireplace. Someone seemed to be playing an old melody fashionable in the 50s on the piano. The girls got scared. Since then Jenna has not spent the night in her bedroom. It was converted into an office. Now the girl is sleeping in another room …
