Abraham Lincoln’s Ghost Continues to Haunt the White House

Abraham Lincoln has been seen haunting the bedrooms in the White House, his desk in the Illinois state legislature, as well as his childhood home, which has been moved to Greenfield Village in Michigan.
Many séances occured in the White House under the Lincoln administration, after Lincoln’s son Willie died in the Green Room. The séances were held in the same room in an attempt to contact their son.

Dennis William Hauck
According to Dennis William Hauck, a well-known writer and researcher on metaphysical phenomena, and publisher of The Alchemy Journal:
“One medium who visited the White House regularly gave Lincoln advice from great leaders of history. At one of those séances, the spirit of Daniel Webster pleaded with Lincoln to follow through with his efforts to free the slaves. Medium J.B. Conklin conveyed a message to Lincoln from his close friend, Edward Baker, who had been killed at the battle of Ball’s Bluff. The cryptic message said: “Gone elsewhere. Elsewhere is everywhere.” In 1863, medium Charles Shockle visited the White House and performed a levitation. At another levitation, Lincoln allegedly ordered a Maine congressman to sit on top of a piano that was floating in mid-air. Following the assassination of her husband, Mary Todd Lincoln sought contact with his spirit through mediums and séances, and felt that she had succeeded. Members of household of Ulysses S. Grant’s are said to have conversed with the ghost of young Willie Lincoln during a séance in his former second floor bedroom. The photo of Mary Todd Lincoln and a ghostly figure at left was taken by photographer William Mumler, but it is believed to have been an accidental double exposure.”
Hauck continues:
“President Lincoln was perhaps the nation’s most mystical leader, and he generated tremendous psychic energy. In November 1860, Lincoln told his wife he knew he would be elected for a second term but would die in office, and he saw his own assassination in a series of dreams three days before that fateful day of April 14, 1865. Afterwards, many people reported seeing his ghost in the White House. Grace Coolidge, wife of Calvin Coolidge, was the first person to report having seen Lincoln’s apparition in the White House. She said that he stood at a window of the Oval Office, hands clasped behind his back, gazing out over the Potomac. She saw his ghost repeatedly after that.”
Many president’s families, and many famous White House guests have seen Lincoln’s ghost. These include Cesar Carrera (Franklin D. Roosevelt’s personal valet);

Queen Wilhemina
Queen Wilhemina of the Netherlands; Winston Churchill;

Numerous articles have been written on the ghostly occurences in the White House, and are easy to find on the internet.

I guess Lincoln’s ghost would have been delighted to welcome Obama into the White House!
But it looks like the ghost doesn’t want to offer Obama any advice. Either that or the current POTUS doesn’t want to listen
