4. People Believe Abraham Lincoln’s Spirit Haunted Mary
Since the death of Abraham Lincoln, many people claim to see his spirit. There are stories of Lincoln’s ghost knocking on the bedroom doors in the White House. Other people claim to see Lincoln walking around Ford’s Theatre or in the Peterson House.
One of the most notable ghost stories of Abraham comes from a well-known photograph of what people believe to be Lincoln’s spirit posed behind a grieving Mary. Some historians speculate that one reason Mary went “crazy” after Lincoln’s death is that she continued to see his spirit.
