Does Abraham Lincoln Haunt the White House?

well they said the same thing about grant, and, look at what he accomplished. also, churchill did alright by england. so you say it like being a lush is a bad thing.?
 
Have you heard any stories about President Lincoln haunting the White House? Do you think he really does?

People see and hear what they want to.

Think it might be more a case here of these guests, knowing the history of this place and its famous former occupants, letting their imaginations overwhelm them and possibly also misinterpreting otherwise explicable occurrences.
 
Absolutely agree with you Waterloo !
John Peck, one of Churchill’s Private Secretaries declared firmly “....I Never saw him the worse for drink......the glass of Weak whisky, like the cigars, was more a symbol than anything else, and one glass lasted for hours..”
In his published memoirs Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery relates an exchange with Churchill . . .

"Look at me," said the irritating Monty, "I don't smoke, I don't drink and I am 100% fit."

"That may be,"
growled Winnie, "but I drink and I smoke and I am 200% fit."
