The Emblematic White House. Home and Office to the President of the United States of America. Over the last 226 years it has been renovated, had extensions built and even been burnt down, so it's no surprise that today it's full of hidden features and built-in secrets!
#1 Secret Tunnels
There is actually a whole network of underground passages, rooms and tunnels buried beneath the White House. Two floors deep. Complete with a Bowling Alley, Dentist's and even a chocolate shop with rumors however spurious of a system of tunnels leading to other important buildings.
#2 Secret Alarms
You'd expect the president's Oval Office to be packed full of security guards, to protect him in case negotiations go sideways, right? But his elite bodyguards actually have to wait outside. Instead there are various items on the president's desk that if casually moved trigger secret alarms, signalling the guards to come rushing in.
#3 Air and Water Supply
Sometimes not all citizens are rooting for the same candidate to become president and it wouldn't take much for them to poison the President's water or air supply. That's why the water that enters the grounds passes through it's own special filtration system and is constantly monitored for toxins. Even the air inside the White House is pressurized higher than the air outside thus keeping out any possible chemical or biological attacks.
#4 The White House Was Burnt
Many people who haven’t studied history too closely might be surprised to learn that the British almost completely destroyed the white house in 1814. This was in retaliation for an attacked mustered up by the Americans in Canada back during 1812. Safe to say, they got us pretty good. Luckily our president had fled south to maryland and hid out for a while. Soldiers hung out here for a while and used white house dishes for a quick meal, then they got to lighting some fire. A great amount of damage was done, and it could have been completely destroyed if the fires weren’t stopped by a huge thunderstorm. Some feel as though this thunderstorm was some kind of divine intervention so american could maintain their independence!
#5 Abraham Lincoln’s Ghost
With all the historical legends surrounding the white house, it shouldn’t come as a huge surprise that many think this place is haunted. Winston Churchill was the first to believe after he saw lincoln’s ghost chilling by the fire place during his visit to 1600 Pennsylvania avenue. Winston had just gotten out of the bathtub and was quite startled when he thought he saw someone with a long beard there. Winston didn’t realize it but he was staying in what’s now known as Lincoln Bedroom.
