In 1862, Abraham Lincoln’s beloved son, Willie, dies of a sudden illness. The loss breaks something deep inside the president — but for his wife, Mary Todd Lincoln, it becomes unbearable. She locks herself away, unable to sleep, unable to breathe without her child.

Desperate to feel him again, Mary invites a spiritual medium to the White House. The room is quiet. A single candle flickers. At first, Lincoln refuses to believe — until one night, he hears something. A whisper. A soft creak. A small voice:
“Father?”

He doesn’t answer.
But from that night on, he leaves the door open — just in case.
