Who's Haunting the White House? The President's Mansion and the Ghosts Who Live There
Jeff's first book for children (ages 10 and up)! Come explore
the spooky world inside the White House! It’s one of
America’s most famous and haunted homes, so keep your eyes
wide open for darting shadows, ghostly apparitions, and
lurking creepy creatures. We’ll hear true, scary stories
from past Presidents and First Ladies, as well as from staff
who work there every day and have had the chance to see it
all. It’s the perfect election year book; as adults decide
who will move in, kids can enjoy thinking of what the new
inhabitant might encounter in the building’s many rooms and
hallways.
Has the original landowner decided to stick around? Is Abigail Adams still
hanging laundry on the premises? Does President Andrew Jackson
still make a ruckus up in the Rose Guest Room? Is Abraham
Lincoln a permanent fixture in the bedroom that bears his
name? Every one of these figures, and others, has been spotted
or heard from. To increase the chills, a variety of archival
images and original illustrations capture the hauntings.
In addition to ghost-hunting, kids will learn about the real
history inside the White House.
