"Ahh! It's Lincoln!"
Have you ever imagined turining a corner only to come face to face with a ghost? Well, I bet these people didn't think they were going to when they saw the ghost of famous president Abraham Lincoln.
These incredible eyewitness accounts will leave you speechless as they're so many of them.
Lincoln seems not to have left the White House and will probably not leave anytime soon as he continues to make these appearances to tons of people during thier everyday lives, visiting or working in Washington D.C.
Countless people have seen the ghost of the sixteeth president, from people staying the night at the White House to secretaries, to some of former presidents' wives and even the presidents themselves.
From just feeling a presence, to actually seeing Honest Abe himself, Lincoln is known all over.
People have found out that Eleanor Roosevelt constantly felt his presence around, while her dog would bark for no apparent reason when she lived in the White House.
Dwight Eisenhower and his wife's secretaries, James Hagerty and Liz Carpenter also claimed to have felt Lincoln's presence too whenever they were working.
Additionally, people have also heard random noises coming from the Lincoln Bedroom and the areas around it. Wouldn't you be scared if you heard non-explainable footsteps in the hallway, like how Roger Parks did, or knocks from the Lincoln Bedroom, like what President Truman and his wife heard?
The first person to actually see whoever was behind all these claims was First Lady Grace Coolidge, who saw Lincoln looking at the Potamac through a window when she walked into the Oval Office.
Winston Churchill, Theodore Roosevelt, and Maureen Reagan and her husband are some of the other people who have supposedly sighted Lincoln's ghost.
Even people from the Franklin D. Roosevelt Administration have seen him, and on one occasion, Franklin Roosevelt's own valet went screaming from the White House after claiming to have seen Abre. With that many sightings, wouldn't you think Lincoln is a people's person, even after his death?
Anyways, the most famous sighting of Lincoln was by Queen Welhemina of the Netherlands.
She had been visting th White House and had stayed in one of its rooms.
One night, she was woken up by a strange noise that sounded like footsteps, but who could possibly be stomping around like that in the middle of the night?
As she tried to find an answer to explain this annoying disturbance during her sleep, she heard a knock on her door.
"What is someone doing knocking on doors during the night when he or she knows that people are trying to rest?" was something she probably thought, as these noises would have aggitated anyone as they tried to get some peace and quiet.
She got out of bed to answer to the door and find out what was going on, when she found Lincoln's ghost standing in the entrance.
As anyone would do if they saw something this extraordinary, she screamed and fainted.
Other people have sighted Lincoln too from people like Tony Savoy, a White House operations foreman, who saw linking sitting on a chair at the top of some stairs in the 1980s, to regular citizens seeing his shape indented in his bed in the Lincoln Bedroom. (That room had actually been used as a meeting room during his presidency.)
Other eyewitnesses have seen Lincoln pulling on his boots at the edge of his bed too.
One last famous sighting of Lincoln happened to Eleanor Roosevlet's secretary, Mary Eloen, who also saw Lincoln putting his boots on in the Lincoln Bedroom and ran screaming from the room.
There have been many sightings of the ghost of Abraham Lincoln since his death and even though we may never know if they are real or not, they are still fun to hear about.
