A Day in the Life # 26 Ghost at Andrew Johnson National Historic Site???
I am not a person who believes in ghosts, period.
But something weird happened today while exploring the grounds of the Andrew Johnson National Historic site in Greeneville, Tn. today.
I did not notice it at the time, but when I got home today and started editing today's video, there was something I could not explain. I had been on the property for more than an hour shooting video, the park was closed, and I was the only person on the property the entire time I was at the location. If you look at the overhead clips you can see, my truck is the only car in the parking lot, and the only other people visible in the video are trick or treaters heading out just before the sun went down. Although I heard the sound at the time, and looked up from my cameras viewscreen for a second, I did not see it at the time, and I don't know who or what opened and closed that door. I do know I had looked in all of the windows, knocked on the doors, and even looked through the keyhole, and never saw or heard another person on the property.
What do you guys think?

The Andrew Johnson National Monument was authorized by Congress in 1935, established by Franklin Roosevelt in 1942, and redesignated the Andrew Johnson National Historic Site in 1965. The four main areas of the site, the Tailor Shop, the National Cemetery, the Homestead, and the Early Home went through several variations before being brought under one authority. The War Department originally oversaw the National Cemetery, and the state of Tennessee protected the Tailor Shop. Thanks to the dedication and on-going political saavy of the Johnson descendants, the legacy of the 17th President is now the responsibility of the National Park Service.
The site tells the story of a tumultuous time in history - the effects of which we still feel today. It also tells the story of a family that grew with the nation and endured the Civil War and the struggles of Reconstruction.

Andrew Johnson's Gravesite' Greeneville Tennessee
17 th' President of the united States' Taking control after president's Lincoln's assassination April 15, 1865
Presidential gravesites: Andrew Johnson
Recorded March 12, 2011. President Johnson's final resting place can be found in the Andrew Johnson National Cemetery, which is part of his national historic site in Greeneville, Tennessee. He spent most of his adult life there, and he personally selected the future site of his grave. He achieved some rather dubious distinctions while in office, most notably avoiding impeachment by a single vote. Regarded in different times as both a people's politician and a staunch racist, Johnson's legacy has changed repeatedly in the last century. He is now widely considered to be one of our country's worst presidents.

SUMMARY
=======
The Andrew Johnson National Cemetery is a United States National Cemetery on the grounds of the Andrew Johnson National Historic Site in Greeneville, Tennessee. Established in 1906, the cemetery was built around the resting place of Andrew Johnson, the seventeenth President of the United States, and holds more than two thousand graves.
Andrew Johnson acquired twenty-three acres outside Greeneville on Signal Hill in 1852. It is held by family tradition that Andrew Johnson greatly enjoyed the view the hill provided. It became known as Signal Hill due to being an excellent place for soldiers to signal to friendly forces. When Johnson died, he was buried on the property on August 3, 1875. The funeral was performed by Freemasons. On June 5, 1878, a 28-foot (8.5 m) tall marble statue was placed by Johnson's grave. The monument was considered so dominant that the hill's name was changed to Monument Hill. His daughter Martha Johnson Patterson willed on September 2, 1898 that the land become a park. She further pushed in 1900 to make the site a national cemetery, so that instead of the Johnson family maintaining it, the federal government would. The United States Congress chose to make the site a National Cemetery in 1906, and by 1908 the United States War Department took control of it. By 1939 there were 100 total graves in the cemetery. On May 23, 1942, control of the cemetery went to the National Park Service.When the area was made a cemetery, two of Andrew Johnson's sons were reinterred. Charles Johnson had been buried in Nashville, Tennessee; he died in 1863 by falling from a horse while serving as a military surgeon. Robert Johnson, who committed suicide shortly after the Johnsons' 1869 return to Greeneville, had originally been buried in Greeneville's Mount Olivet. Several other members of the Johnson family, including grandchildren, would later be buried in the cemetery. Amongst these are his daughter Martha and her husband, former Tennessee United States Senator David T. Patterson.When the National Park Service was given jurisdiction of the cemetery in 1942, they ruled to allow no more interments, in order to preserve the historic nature of the cemeteries. Due to efforts by the American Legion and the Daughters of the American Revolution, the cemetery once again accepted new interments, making the national cemetery one of the few controlled by the National Park Service to contain soldiers of the World Wars, Spanish–American War, Korean War, Vietnam War, and the Gulf War. Aside from Andersonville National Cemetery, it is the only National Cemetery controlled by the United States Department of the Interior to accept new burials.The marble monument depicts the United States Constitution, an eagle, and the Bible.
Andrew Johnson National Cemetery could be full by the end of the year
Right now Andrew Johnson National Cemetery has 38 spots left for new burials, according to Stephanie Steinhorst with Andrew Johnson National Historic Site. Steinhorst said the cemetery does an average of 62 funerals a year. With nearly 6,000 veterans living in Greene County, those spaces are quickly disappearing.
