There is no other figure in American history more closely connected to the supernatural than President Abraham Lincoln. In addition to being known as “America’s most well-traveled ghost",” Lincoln had a life that was immersed in strangeness. He had many brushes with the supernatural, experienced eerie prophecies and strange premonitions, sought the counsel of Spiritualists — and the dead, dreamed of his own assasination, and is believed to still haunt at least a dozen places after his death. In this spooky presentation, Troy Taylor will offer a chilling exploration of the eerie elements of Lincoln’s life:

*Lincoln’s dreams of death
* Premonitions of the Civil War
* Lincoln and the Spiritualists
* The President’s Communications with the Dead
* The Death of Willie Lincoln
* The Madness of Mary Lincoln
* Spirits of the Assassination
* The Lincoln Assassination Curse
* What Really Happened to John Wilkes Booth?
* The Ghostly Lincoln Funeral Train
* Legends of the Lincoln Tomb
* Hauntings in the Wake of Lincoln
* The Haunted White House
* And much more!
