The ghosts of Washington: The Ghost of Henry Wilson

 

Henry Wilson of Massachusetts was elected Vice President of the United States on the Republican ticket with President Ulysses S. Grant. He was brought onto the ticket to replace the ethically challenged Vice President Schuyler Colfax.

In 1873, Vice President Wilson suffered a serious stroke but remained in office. Then, on November 10, 1875, he suffered another attack that eventually killed him on November 22 a t7:00 AM while he was working in the US Senate in the Capitol Building.

For years, some Capitol Police have said that they have Wilson’s ghost walking from the old Senators' tubs, coughing and sneezing. Others say they have heard sneezes in the Senate hallways when they are alone and still others say they have smelled the faint odor of fresh soap near them accompanies by a cold chill.
