White House Ghost Stories

[Anita]

Bill, did you have a favorite ghost?

I liked the story of David Burns who owned the land where the White House now stands. His ghost haunts the Yellow Oval Room. I wasn't familiar with his story.

"Within local legend, David Burns is better known as “the obstinate Mr. Burns,” a moniker given to him by the man he really managed to irritate: George Washington."
