Abraham Lincoln - vampire hunter

Turns out Lincoln was not the only President with a secret. From Chris Wade writing at Slate:
The Secret Histories of Other U.S. Presidents
As everyone knows, Abraham Lincoln was not only the 16th president of the United States, but also a vampire hunter. But his great feats in both lines of work have overshadowed the covert activities of other, less popular 19th-century American presidents.

Herewith, some of the more interesting and lesser known sidelines of just a few of these brave and accomplished men.

Chester A. Arthur: Sasquatch Assassin
Chester A. Arthur, our 21st president, vigorously pursued civil service reform during his time in office. He also vigorously pursued the roving bands of Ape-Men that terrorized his home state of Vermont and claimed the lives of his parents in 1845.

Grover Cleveland: Time Warrior
What most people know about Grover Cleveland is that, alone among U.S. Presidents, he served two non-consecutive terms of office. Less widely known is the reason those terms were non-consecutive. After commandeering an experimental time travel device from a young Nikola Tesla in early 1889, Cleveland spent the better part of the next four years traveling through the past, righting historical injustices. Below he is pictured during his extended stay in the late Cretaceous period.
