15. Abigail Adams- Second First Lady of the United States
Just because you are the First Lady of a brand new nation, doesn’t mean you don’t have chores to do. Abigail Adams is the first First Lady to live in the White House as the wife of the President of the United States. Of course, she did not do everything all by herself, but one thing she did by hand was the laundry. After washing the laundry, she would hang them out to dry in the East Room. In the 200 years since her passing, multiple patrons of the White House have claimed to see her ghost. Dressed in her traditional cap and lace shawl, she walks towards the East Room with her arms out like she is carrying a laundry basket. Some say they can even smell wet laundry and lavender when walking past the room.
