Hey Louie,
That is too true. Sadly, there is no John Booth to break his leg now.

Tom Slemen, an English ghost writer, has a section on an encounter that George himself had with an angel(?). Go here:

As far as the apparition of George, I believe I may have heard that on a Mark Nesbitt video. Mark is a ghost writer/historian in Gettysburg, PA. Seems to me George, on his white horse, appeared to a group of men, pointing them in the direction of the enemy (or something like that).

Legend has it that every New Year's eve at the stroke of
midnight the 96 statues in Statuary Hall --where the busy
Thomas Hart Benton is toiling and John Quincy Adams
delivers his eloquent oration -- come down off their
pedestals and dance. Samuel Adams, Ethan Allen,
Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, Huey Long, Daniel
Webster and George Washington set aside whatever
differences they may have had in life to join the party.

Also, The Mary Washington House in Virginia is haunted by Mary Washington, George Washington's mother.

I'm really bored, can you tell?

Compton's book of legends states:

There are other characters--true and important characters--out of real
United States history about whom fanciful stories are told. From the
very beginnings of the country's life as a nation the people have told
these stories, adding to them or changing them as they told them in true
folk fashion.

To the soldiers who served bravely under General George
Washington in the days of the American Revolution, 13 was a very
fortunate number and not at all unlucky as folk beliefs have sometimes
said. Thirteen was the number of the colonies that were fighting King
George III and therefore the best number of all, said the soldiers.
General Washington had 13 teeth in both his upper and his lower jaws,
they said. He also had 13 hairs on the top of his head under his
powdered wig and a tomcat with 13 whiskers and 13 tiger stripes about
its body.

Holy cow! I don't think I have ever seen so much activity on this board in a 24 hour period regarding one particular topic (messages aren't posted until I approve them).
