True Hauntings

Most haunted houses are usually fake, but I know of some real ones. People claim that the White House in Washington D.C. is haunted by all of the ghosts of the great presidents from the past, like Abraham Lincoln and George Washington. Janitorial staff and other staff members also claim they have seen the ghosts of all the old White House pets roaming the halls at night, such as the horses, dogs, cats and someone even claimed they saw a rabbit and a guinea pig. And the story of the Taj Mahal is also said to be true. The story goes like this: A man fell so deeply in love with this woman that he decided that the only way he could show her just how much he loved her was to build a giant temple-like structure in dedication to her. This is the Taj Mahal. When the two were married, they were both the happiest people on Earth. The husband died and the wife decided to have him buried in the grounds of the Taj Mahal. Today, people claim that they see a ghost roaming the halls dressed in regal robes. Some stories say that he is waiting for his wife to find him in the afterlife and some say he is already with her and just observing and attending to the affairs of his Taj Mahal, while living as a dead person with his wife. Some other stories include Bob Mackey's Music Place. It is said that a cult of devil-worshipers murdered a young girl and severed her head to use as a blood sacrifice. They apparently threw her head down a well located in the basement of Bob Mackey's. Ever since then, there have been suicides and murders located in the building. There have been reported sightings of ghosts and a few vicious attacks on contributors to the music club. Some people that have investigated this place have ended up with deep scratches or bruises from supposed contact with the ghosts. AWESOME! If you click on the title of this post, it will take you to a preview of Ghost Adventures, a new show about ghost hunters on the Travel channel. It's way awesome!
