Author’s Note

CHAPTER 1: ABRAHAM LINCOLN'S GHOST

Among the many paranormal experiences reported in the White House over the years, there is one story in particular that really stands out from all the rest, given the great historical significance of the person involved: the ghost of Abraham Lincoln.

Lincoln's ghost is the most common and reported one. The spirit of the long-dead president is said to have haunted the White House since his assassination on Good Friday, April 14, 1865, by John Wilkes Booth, as the American Civil War was drawing to a close.

The spirit of Lincoln is said to appear in the room where the Lincoln bed is kept. Harry Truman once answered a 3 o'clock knock on his door and found no one there. He attributed the knock to Lincoln.

Lincoln is reported to return to the White House when the security of the country is at risk. He strolls up and down the second floor hallway, knocks on doors, and stands by certain windows with his hands clasped behind his back. One staff member claimed to have seen Lincoln sitting on his bed pulling on his boots.

One of President Harrison's bodyguards was kept awake many nights trying to protect the president from mysterious footsteps he heard in the hall. He grew so tired and worried, he finally attended a séance to beg President Lincoln to stop so he could get enough sleep to properly protect the president.

In addition to the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, many presidents, first ladies, White House staff members and guests have reported feeling other ghostly presences in the building. Unexplained noises have been heard, and some of those people have even experienced running into actual apparitions - even on the way out
