Lincoln supposedly haunts its halls. If ghosts are powered by residual energy, there's no better place than the White House to haunt after you die, because that place is saturated with year after year of Presidential stress. Abraham Lincoln's young son died of typhoid while living in the White House. Shortly after, Honest Abe was having recurring dreams about his own assassination in the days leading up to the actual event; add those together and you have the recipe for one persistent ghost. Many prominent people have claimed to see or feel the presence of Lincoln, including Eleanor Roosevelt, Harry Truman (and his daughter), Teddy Roosevelt, and Winston Churchill, as well as many other White House guests and staff.

It's not a free ride. When you're President, you're not treated like royalty. Sure, you're given a place to live while you do your job, but that's pretty standard for any important job. Unless they're consumed during an official business function, the President and his family have to pay for all of their meals. In addition to that, they also have to pay for their own laundry and general amenities. While Congress and taxpayers pay for certain White House maintenance duties and staffing, anything that doesn't directly relate to the governance of the United States comes out of the Presidential salary, which is about $450,000 a year. No, taxpayers do not pay for the First Lady's dresses, so chill.

Outgoing Presidential aides prank their replacements. Allegedly, Bill Clinton's aides did $40,000 worth of damage to their offices before evacuating the White House for George W. Bush, including pulling the W key off of 62 keyboards, leaving obscene phone messages, gluing desk drawers shut, and stealing a historical Presidential seal. While the investigation was only able to provide one photograph of a Hoarders-looking hallway—and somehow placed the approximate price of a standard computer keyboard at $80—White House workers admitted that it was fairly typical for the outgoing Presidential staff to prank their replacements in various ways.

No one can find the cornerstone. Laid on October 13, 1792 by a bunch of important Freemasons, the historical cornerstone of the White House should be a pretty big deal, and it would certainly be a prominent point of any tour—if anyone could find it. All we know today is that it has a brass plate, which may or may not have been inscribed by the founding fathers. It might also be a time capsule containing important historical documents, as was the tradition of the day. Both Teddy Roosevelt and Harry Truman have searched for the stone to no avail. It's not the first time the government was unable to find something right under their noses.

It has its own beer. While Thomas Jefferson was known to be a beer brewer himself after his retirement from politics, it wasn't until Barack Obama that brewing actually happened inside the White House, and with the help of the resident honeybees, no less. Obama used part of his salary to purchase a brewing kit and handed it over to the White House chefs, who brewed a few hundred bottles of honey ale for special occasions. Home brewers, eager to try the rare delicacy, filed a Freedom of Information Act to get the recipe, but the White House released the formula on its website before anyone. Dealing with the amount of criticism and mudslinging the President gets on a regular basis, we'd need a brewery at work too.

Someone committed suicide there. While conspiracy theorists believe that Vince Foster, friend and Deputy White House Counsel to the Clintons, killed himself within the White House and had his body relocated elsewhere to be discovered, people often ignore the actual suicide that took place on the White House lawn. On September 12, 1994, ex-Army mechanic Frank Corder stole a Cessna airplane and steered it towards the White House. Corder only made it to the South Lawn before crashing and killing himself. Corder was allegedly drunk, unemployed, depressed, and recently arrested from dealing drugs. Supposedly, Corder had no political motivations for his final actions and just wanted the publicity.
