Did You Know

 Did you know, Winston Churchill recounted having seen Lincoln's ghost in the White House? Having just taken a bath and in the bedroom not yet dressed, supposedly Churchill said,"Good evening, Mr. President. You have me at a disadvantage." 


The President purportedly foresaw his assassination in a dream a few weeks before he was shot.

I didn't know either of those things. Thank you for continuing to educate me. I wonder whether Lincoln changed any of his habits after that dream?

Churchill was well known for his drinking and I am not surprised that he once saw a ghost.
