It seems likely that the real estate that enjoys the most distinguished ghosts as tenants is the Tower of London, which is haunted by:
1. The headless ghost of Anne Boleyn;
2. The ghost of Thomas Becket allegedly appeared during the construction of the Traitor's Gate;
The ghosts of King Edward V of England and Richard, Duke of York, the "Princes in the Tower";
3. The ghost of Lady Jane Grey;
4. The ghost of Sir Walter Raleigh;
5. A troupe of ghosts who re-enact the execution of the Countess of Salisbury;
6. Several other ghosts make the Tower their home; phantom troops of soldiers appear there, and a lady in mourning with no face.
The White House in Washington, DC is said to be haunted by the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, and by several lesser spectres. The ghost of the Roman Emperor Caligula was said to haunt the Lamian Gardens of Rome, where his body had been hastily and unceremoniously buried after his assassination.
In the Biblical account of the Witch of Endor, King Saul of Israel has the witch conjure up the ghost of the prophet Samuel to consult him on his precarious situation; the prophet's spirit gives the king no assistance, and foretells his doom instead.
