Back in 2012, I visited Mount Vernon, home of the first U.S. President, George Washington. Afterward I published a blog about my experience (part of it is below), and since then, several other people have shared their experiences of sensing the President himself walking around!
I believe that George Washington visits as a SPIRIT (he's crossed over and comes back), and is not an Earth-bound ghost, because Washington has been seen in several other places, and ghosts usually can't travel from place to place easily. Washington comes back to enjoy his house on occasion.
Here are the experiences:
1) My Experience: Rob Gutro (March 2012)
Upon going into one of the upstairs guest rooms I was overwhelmed with energy, and suddenly got a sharp pain in my throat! - I wasn't sure what was going on. The sharp pain became a dry throat, and it hurt. After walking through the room into a small hallway where a docent stood I learned why I felt that pain.
The docent said "You are now in a small hallway, and pointed to an
adjoining bedroom. She said it was the room where George Washington
died. She said that he said 2 days before he died that he suddenly had
"a sharp pain in his throat!"
So, I immediately knew that President Washington was letting me know
what happened to him, and what he experienced before he died! I didn't
really expect to meet President Washington that day, but it seems I did.

I
went in the summer of 2015 and it was ABSOLUTELY FREEZING in President
Washington's room. There was no air conditioning in the house esp on the
second floor on the landing it was stiflingly hot with several mini
fans blowing to make it easier for the guides to do their "talk"but when
I came to Pres. Washington's room, even though there was plastic that
prevented entry into his room proper, you COULD extend your arm into the
actual room and it was FREEZING i could not help but feel he was in
that room
i also felt it in 8th grade on our schools trip to D.C and area.
(Rob Gutro's response: It makes perfect sense that you felt a presence as a student. The younger we are the more we are more apt to trust our feelings and senses - especially when it comes to sensing ghosts or spirits that crossed over. As we grow older, we are taught to be more "logical thinkers" and we try to explain away our interactions with ghosts or spirits. You had a genuine encounter!)

I have also been in the house on tour and when I was there and I could
of sworn I saw a figure in the corner of the living room. It was a male,
I would've guess about in his 50s, but I am not really good with
guessing ages myself, I think the man was wearing a nightgown. At first I
thought it was all a trick of the mind, I haven't had too many
experiences like that before then, and when I went upstairs to the
bedrooms, I saw a picture, and I have learned that Washington died in
his sleep and the picture was showing him in his death bed with his
family surrounding him, and he looked exactly like I had seen.
