It was nightfall in Washington D.C., and mostly everyone was settling down for the night. In the White House, President Katherine Walker and her family were settling down as well. The president, dressed in a dark blue robe, headed down the hall to her children's room. She opened the door to find her 11 year old twins, Conner and Haley, sitting on Haley's bed talking about something that happened at school.

"Alright kids, lights out." President Walker said, "You can talk more in the morning."

"Dang it, I was just getting to the good part." Haley said.

"Well, you tell me about it at breakfast, but you two need to go to sleep." the president said, looking at the twins with her hazel eyes.

"Ok, Mom." Conner said as he got off his sister's bed and got in his own.

"Alright, night kids." President Walker said turning out the light.

"Night Mom." both twins said at the same time.

The president closed the door and walked down the hall. As she did, she all of a sudden felt a cold blast of air hit her. She turned around, but no windows were open. No else was around and there were no air vents around. She shrugged her shoulder and continued down the hall toward her bedroom. When she entered the room, she saw her husband, Sam Walker, sitting in bed, reading a book.

"Kids asleep?" Sam asked.

"Yes." Katherine replied.

"Ok." Sam replied. He then noticed the look on his wife's face, "Kate, you ok?"

"Yeah, hon." Katherine replied, "I just had a weird feeling out in the hall. It's probably nothing."

"Alright, I'm just making sure you're ok." Sam replied.

"I am. Thanks hon." Katherine said as she undid her robe and got into bed.

Sam put his book down and turned out the lights, "Night Kate."

"Night Sam." Katherine replied.

A few hours later...

The clock struck midnight, and everything was quiet in the White House. In the Walkers' bedroom, the president and her husband were sound asleep. All of a sudden, Katherine woke up and sat up upon hearing footsteps out in the hall. Sam apparently heard as he sat up as well.

"Did you hear footsteps?" Sam asked.

"Yeah, they almost sounded like..boots." Katherine said.

All of a sudden, they heard what sounded like a flower vase crash to the floor down the hall. The couple got out of bed and stepped out into the hall. No one was there. But at the end of the hall, an object was on the floor. The couple headed down the hall and found a flower vase that had fallen off a table and had broken.

"What the-" Katherine started. Suddenly, a cold breeze swept through the hall.

"Where did that come from?" Sam asked. He then noticed that Katherine had a terrified expression on her face and was looking at something in front of her.

"Kate? Kate, what is it..." Sam's voice trailed off as his face went white. Standing in front of the couple was the full-bodied apparition of a man. He was wearing clothes from the early 1800s, had graying black hair, hazel colored eyes, and a very sharp nose. But he also looked sickly and pale, like he died from an illness.

"My Lord...that's-that's.." Sam stammered.

"William Henry Harrison." Katherine said, her face white with fear.

The spirit of the 9th president looked at the couple for a few seconds before disappearing. The president and her husband looked at each other in complete shock.

"Mom! Dad!" Conner exclaimed as he ran down the hall. His expression was one of fear.

"What is it, son?" Sam asked.

"Gh-Ghost." Conner said, "In our room."

The three of them ran down the hall and burst into the twins' room. Haley was still in her bed looking at the ghost the stood in the middle of he room. The ghost was a man, had graying hair, dark eyes, and he was wearing an army uniform from the mid-1800s, and he had a sword at his side.

"That's-that's.." Conner stammered.

"Zachary Taylor." Sam and Katherine said at the same time.

The 12th president turned his head to look at the current president and her family. He gave a quick nod and vanished. Katherine rushed over to her daughter to make sure she was ok.

"You ok sweetheart?" Katherine asked.

"Y-y-yeah." Haley stammered as she tried to come to terms at what just happened.

"Did he hurt you kids?" Sam asked.

"No." Conner said, "He just looked at us."

"These ghost appearances are happening more and more." the president said as she rubbed her forehead, "I don't know what to do anymore."

Sam put his arm on his wife's shoulder, "It's ok Kate. We'll find a way."

The next day...

"Ghosts are popping up all over Washington!" vice-president Kyle Connell exclaimed at the morning's cabinet meeting, "Yesterday, George Washington was spotted by the Washington Monument, and a group of tourists was attacked by a group of British redcoats!"

"And my wife and I saw William Henry Harrison last night, and Zachary Taylor appeared in my kids' bedroom." Sam said.

"See what I mean?!" Connell exclaimed.

"Calm down Connell." Attorney General George Granger said from across the table, "The FBI is handling it."

"Are you insane Granger?!" Connell exclaimed, "These are ghosts we're talking about, not terrorists!"

"I know that Connell." Granger said through clenched teeth, "But..

"Connell's got a point Granger." Secretary of State Julia Hamillton said from her seat, "These are ghosts. They can literally disappear and do a bunch of other stuff. The FBI doesn't have the weapons or skills to handle them."

"Ms. President, do you have any suggestions?" White House speaker Sarah Caleb asked.

The president sighed, "To be honest, I don't even know what to do with all this. Settling arguments I can do. Handling the supernatural? I don't even know where to start."

"Well, we can't let this go on." Granger said, "We can't call the police, we can't call the army, who we gonna call?"

"Ghostbusters!" Secreatry of War Myles Matthews exclaimed from his seat. He then said, "Sorry, I couldn't help it."

"Oh grow up Matthews." Hamillton said, rolling her eyes, "There is no way-"

"Actually Myles, that's good idea." President Walker said smiling.

The rest of the cabinet looked at her.

"Think about it. They're the only ones who know how to deal with the supernatural." the president said, "Why didn't I think about that?"

"She's right." Vice-president Connell said, "They are the only ones who can help us."

"Julia, call the mayor of New York to let him know I'm coming, but tell him not to tell anything to the press." Katherine said.

"Yes ma'm." Hamillton replied.

"Connell, tell the National guard to place guards around all the landmarks."

"Will do, Connell said.

"When will you be back?" Granger asked.

"I should be back by tomorrow." Katherine said, "But first, I'm gonna get some help."
