Story of a member of Mount Vernon's Security Department from 2012:
"My first experience with something that I cannot explain occurred in the Mansion during the early years of the Candlelight Tours. The event took place on the anniversary of General Washington's death around 10:30 pm. After the house had been cleared I locked myself in. It was my responsibility to check the alarms for their proper positioning. When I was in the Mansion Study I heard a heavy set of keys being walked across the floor in the Washington bedroom directly above. As I approached the back stairs to go up to the Washington bedroom the sound of the keys abruptly stopped.
General Washington was well known for his heavy set of keys and that they could be heard as he walked through the house. Tobias Lear, the General's secretary is known to have taken the keys from the general's pocket upon his death and turned the keys over to his enslaved manservant Christopher Sheels."
