WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House at night is a dark and spooky place, haunted, according to legend, by ghosts of dead presidents and a former British soldier.

"It is a big old house, and when the lights are out it is dark and quiet and any movement at all catches your attention," longtime White House chief usher Gary Walters said on Friday during a Halloween chat session on the White House Web site http://www.whitehouse.gov.

President Bush (news - web sites), who was spending Halloween at his Texas ranch, has never reported seeing a ghost, Walters said. But recent presidents have felt the presence of their predecessors, he said.

"The presidents that I have worked for have all indicated a feeling of the previous occupants of the White House and have all talked about drawing strength from the fact that the previous presidents have lived here," he said.

3. How many nights has Bush even spent in the white house?

He stays at Crawford almost all of the time. No wonder he hasn't had any "encounters."

4. If you drink yourself to sleep every night

and are out by 10 it's a fair guess even the dead can't wake you. Bush* has no soul, so there is nothing to stir.

5. Well, if JFK's ghost is around...

...I'm sure he's got a few accounts to settle with the Bush clan and Shrubbie should be worried.

If nothing else, JFK could simply whisper every night in Shrubbie's ear, "Where was your Poppy on November 22, 1963?"
