Answer:

President Lincoln's ghost is rumored to still be active in the white house There was a fire during the Madison administration

You can get some very satisfying blasts with a soda bottle, crumpled aluminum foil and weak acid (sold as muriatic acid or diluted hydrochloric acid)Take a 2 foot length of aluminum foil and tear it into about 10 piecesCrumple them a compact them tightly (this delays the blast, giving you time to get away from ground zero)Put in 1/2 cup of the dilute acidScrew the top back on and back offQUicklyEnjoyYou can claim you are making a Krakatoa type volcano although you and I both know we do it just for the blast.
