In this episode of Ghostly, we turn our attention to one of the most famous buildings in the world—The White House—and its mysterious connection to the War of 1812. When British troops set fire to the President’s House in 1814, they may have left behind more than just smoke and ashes.
We explore the ghostly legends that have lingered for over two centuries: the spirit of Dolley Madison, fiercely guarding her beloved Rose Garden… phantom British redcoats silently marching the North Lawn… and the terrifying figure known as the British Fire Starter, a disfigured officer seen striking phantom matches near the West Wing.
Are these spirits echoes of one of the darkest moments in Washington’s history? Or are they just ghost stories born from a nation’s trauma?
