Jackson is a famous figure in American history; he was the seventh president of the United States. Lynn said that the ghost told her he was buried in the family cemetery on the property.

The next day, Lynn and her husband went to the cemetery and found a headstone with the name “Andrew Jackson” on it. Lynn said that she was convinced the ghost was that of the former president.
