The White House
Situated at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW in Washington, D.C., The White House is the official residence and workplace of the President of the United States. Designed by Irish-born architect James Hoban and completed in 1800, the executive mansion has served as the political nerve center of the American republic for over two centuries. Steeped in profound national history, wartime crises, and presidential tragedy, the White House is widely celebrated as the most famous haunted residence in the United States. Generations of presidents, first ladies, world leaders, visiting dignitaries, and household staff have documented encounters with presidential specters, most notably the towering phantom of Abraham Lincoln, as well as spirits like Andrew Jackson, Abigail Adams, and Dolley Madison.
