White House Ghosts
How do we know they are real?
When did this all start
The White House started getting haunted in the 1800's by ghosts who are still not yet identifyed, "One little known spirit is the unidentified 15-year old boy,""An unnamed British Soldier who perished during the war of 1812 roams the White House grounds holding a torch," (whitehousehistory). There are more than one ghosts that have haunted the house that are still unknown and have not yet discovered. And we still don't know where they are coming from
theories
Many famous people have visited the white house that claim hat they have been "haunted" by one of the ghosts, while other sites say that these people are imagining the ghosts being there by a past ghost story that was made up and has carried along for all these years making people believe they are actually here.
most plausible theory
what I believe
i believe that these ghosts are really there but i do not believe that you can actually see the full figure of the ghosts like what their wearing or what they look like, the reason I believe they are there is because many people who have stayed in the white house that are famous for example the queen of the Netherlands stayed in the white house and claims she heard a knocking on the door in the middle of the night and opened the door to see Lincoln standing looking at her in his top hat and beard.

Rose Garden
The ghost of Dorothea Paine "Dolley" Madison, wife of President James Madison, appeared in the Rose Garden most frequently during the administration of Woodrow Wilson. Dolley had planted the garden a hundred years earlier, but First Lady Ellen Louise Wilson gave orders to have it dug up (Hauck).
Yellow Oval Room
Grace Coolidge first saw Lincoln’s ghost in this room. When Lincoln was alive, he used the room as a library and spent a lot of time meditating here, while gazing out the windows. White House employees have seen his figure standing in front of those same windows (Hauck).
Rose Bedroom
The ghost of Andrew Jackson is said to haunt his old canopy bed here. White House personnel have reported an inexplicable cold spot and the sound of hearty laughter coming from the empty bed. In 1865, Mary Todd Lincoln reported encountering Jackson's ghost “swearing up a storm,” (Hauck).
