Americans have long enjoyed telling ghost stories. From the ghost of Abigail Adams doing her laundry in the East Room to the spirit of Dolley Madison overlooking the Rose Garden, the White House has its own legend of ghost stories that have been passed down over the years.

Members of the staff, who have worked in the White House for many years, recently shared some of their stories of strange noises in the White House, sightings of President Abraham Lincoln's ghost and a Halloween prank by President Carter's daughter.

I have read lots of stories about the White House being filled with Ghost. She the Question popped in my head. How will the White House Ghost Treat a first Family that is Biracial.

Now I know the White House has had People of all different Races Roam the Halls. But never has a person of another race been the Resident?

1. Maybe the ghost of Lincoln can finally rest

2. I think Lincoln's ghost will finally come out of hiding...

...after years of being terrified by the specter of a Bush presidency.

4. Well, Abigail Adams was pretty progressive. So, her ghost should be pretty cool. LOL!

6. Maybe the ghosts are aware

that other occupants probably had mixed ancestry. It's hard to look at a photo of Ida Elizabeth Stover Eisenhower and believe that she is not multi or biracial.
