    A recount of the first ghost encounter in Mount Vernon from 2006 supervisor from The History Interpretation department:

    "My first encounter with a ghost occurred in the Yellow Room of the Mount Vernon Mansion in 2006. I was a Supervisor in the History Interpretation Department - Supervisors clear and lock the Mansion after checking and rechecking for assurance that no one has been left in the Mansion after hours. After letting the last interpreter out the Study door, I walked up the backstairs, past the Washingtons' bedchamber, and into the Yellow Room. I suddenly felt myself being pushed, feeling the pressure of someone's hands on the back of my shoulders. I turned to look and no one was there. It was obvious I wasn't wanted in the Yellow Bedchamber.

    This happened several more times and I decided I would not go back upstairs if alone. I invited another interpreter to stay with me and travel the backstairs to the Yellow Room - nothing happened. The next time when I was alone I was once again pushed through the room.

    To keep this from being disturbed, I felt it was best that I not use the backstairs but to remove my shoes and cross through the downstairs bedchamber to the Central Passage and lock the door for the evening."
