A recount of a character interpreter of what she experienced in Mount Vernon in 2017:

"I've worked at Mount Vernon on and off since 2004. I most recently returned
in January 2017. The estate was abuzz with the latest spooky story. On December 15, 2016, some strange sounds were heard coming from the third floor and there had been reports of the temperature dropping by 20 degrees. When the tale was shared with me I was determined to see if it would happen again.

On December 14, the anniversary of the General's death, I was on the third floor waiting for some haunting but nothing happened. However, when I returned the next night the vibe in the area had changed. Upon looking into the southwest bedchamber I noticed an electric candle was on. "That's
strange," I thought, "It was dark last night." Had Collections come and
turned it on? Not likely; the third floor isn't open to the public. Then it
hit me. George Washington died on December 14, 1799, and the next day Martha Washington shut up the bedroom they shared. And moved to the southwest bedchamber. Apparently, she's still marking that sad day."
