The Thing in the White House
Manage episode 441341838 series 2391367
On July 26, 1911, Major Archibald Butt, the military aide to President William Howard Taft, wrote to his sister-in-law about something rather odd that had been happening inside the walls of the White House for months: “My dear Clara, It seems that the White House is haunted."
The Major then continues on to describe some of the interesting and eerie claims made members of the White House staff, folks who claim to have come into contact with an entity that has since become known simply as "The Thing."
This episode was done in collaboration with Howard Dorre of the chart-topping history podcast Plodding Through the Presidents.
