Publisher's Synopsis
ONE NIGHT IN WASHINGTON
THE TRUE STORY OF AMERICA'S MOST HAUNTED PRESIDENT
BY TROY TAYLOR
From the backwoods of Kentucky and Illinois to the White House steps, the life of Abraham Lincoln has become one of America's greatest legends. But there is much more to Lincoln's life than you'll find in any mainstream history book. Visited by eerie premonitions of death, omens and portents, and prophetic dreams, Lincoln embraced the supernatural from when he was a young boy to just days before his assassination. He had an innate faith in destiny and the ability of the dead to communicate with the living. Forget everything you think you know about Abraham Lincoln and take a trip back in time to discover the true story of our country's most haunted president.
Author Troy Taylor lifts the veil from Lincoln's often macabre and eerie life, from his encounters with Voodoo predictions as a young man to his eerily accurate visions of the future and his embrace of Spiritualist mediums in the White House. Using forgotten newspapers and vintage sources, this is the most complete book ever published about Lincoln's haunted life, and within these pages, Taylor reveals Lincoln's dreams of death, spirits around the séance table, and how the occult affected Lincoln's life until one tragic night at Ford's Theater in Washington.
He takes the reader along as he delves deep into the annals of history with unsettling accounts of the Lincoln Assassination and the spirits that lingered from it, the "Lincoln Curse," the haunted life of Mary Lincoln, mystery, mayhem, mummies, grave robbery, ghosts, and much more! There is no other Lincoln book like this one - and you'll be turning its pages long into the night!
