I found a lot of different websites on my topic, but I think that http://www.americanfolklore.net/ is the best for this topic, because there are all kind of information about all supernatural things, such as myths and legends, ghost stories, folklore. So you can find a lot of stories about USA,and also the web site has Canadian, Mexican folklore, and also children’s stories. The website is built very convenient for everyone: you have categories, so it is easy to search information for the topic you are interested in. For example, the ghost stories have 2 categories such as funny stories about ghosts and supernatural stories. So this is helping you to find your particular information easier and faster. After each story you have a comment spot, so you can leave a comment and you can also see what other people are thinking about this story. I am finding this section very useful. I think it helps a lot in understanding.
I chose the story about White House ghost, because I was thinking that White House is very quiet and peaceful place, but in reality there is something that is going on there. It is very interesting I think.The story is about Lincoln's ghost ,who haunts the White House. His ghost appears in the room whereyou can see Lincoln's bed. The story says that Lincoln is always returning to the White House if the security of the country is at risk. And it is very interesting. I never knew that. There are a lot of Presidents and people form White House who are sure that it is a true .And these people can hear something supernatural , or in some cases even were able to see these unusual things.

For example, Hillary Rodham Clinton said: "There is something about the house at night that you just feel like you are summoning up the spirits of all the people who have lived there and worked there and walked through the halls there." (http://www.haunted-places.com/WhiteHouseGhosts.htm).
I think that this story is very interesting for everyone, because it is about White House and our safety as well.

This was very interesting to me because I never knew about the White House ghost previously. You really do learn something new everyday. After visiting the website I find that it is credible and I also think its good that the website has a section for leaving comments on the articles. This definitely helps to us to get different points of view on a story. You also stated that the ghost appears when the country is in danger and I find that to be very very interesting. Maybe I will do some more research about this ghost. So thanks again for choosing this topic and good job on the blog :)
