  • White House, Haunted by Abraham Lincoln? Abraham Lincoln's apparition has been reportedly sighted in the Lincoln Bedroom and Yellow Oval Room of the White House. Notable figures such as First Lady Grace Coolidge, Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands have claimed to have witnessed Lincoln's ghost.

    Another spectral presence within the White House is that of young Willie Lincoln, who passed away during his time there. In the 1870s, staff members of the Grant administration reported seeing Willie Lincoln's ghost within the White House.

    Andrew Jackson is said to haunt the Queens' Bedroom (Rose Room) where he is believed to emit a distinct, eerie laugh, which has been heard by inhabitants since the 1860s. Mary Todd Lincoln, the former First Lady, also claimed to have heard Jackson stomping and swearing.

    In the East Room, Abigail Adams, the second First Lady, has been said to linger as a spectral presence. Her ghostly activity includes hanging laundry, and contemporary staff have reported smelling wet laundry and the soothing scent of lavender.

    These are just a few examples of the ghostly apparitions that have been witnessed by numerous people within the White House. The reported ghostly appearances of Abraham Lincoln are particularly well-documented. You decide is it a Haunting or Not?
