Ghost Stories Surrounding My Boarding School

They are still entertaining the students there.

Just a few days ago, as I opened the book, The White House Remembered during bedtime, Hittle did I expect that it would also throw light on one of its haunted rooms - the Lincoln bedroom where the sixteenth President Abraham Lincoln stayed.

I had to be deeply intrigued by it since the book also relates many tales narrated by several former presidents who lived in this famous house.

Richard M. Nixon shares that when Winston Churchill - the former British PM stayed in the same room which was assigned to him by Franklin Roosevelt, one of the ushers saw him leaving the room in the middle of the night with his bag as he saw a figure exactly like Lincoln in the room.

Similarly, Ronald Regan also shares that he was also hosting one couple and they had similar complaints and to be precise in their case, they saw Lincoln looking out of the window and giving a speech.

When Regan told one of the veteran staff members about it, he replied, "Is he back again?" Laughing and feeling sleepy, I slipped the bookmark here to continue reading the following day.

But within minutes, I got transported to my boarding school -the Punjab Public School, Nabha where we as students remained surrounded with many ghost stories that had been alive since ages and transferred from one batch to the other.
