Here’s a story that’ll give you chills! Jenna Bush Hager, the beloved journalist and Today show co-host, has been spilling secrets about some spine-tingling moments she experienced in the White House. In a recent chat with Hoda Kotb, Jenna revealed that she’s convinced the historic mansion is haunted—and she’s got some eerie tales to back it up!
At just 36 years old, Jenna has a wealth of White House memories, including some that would make even the bravest souls shiver. She lived in the presidential residence with her sister, Barbara Bush, during their dad George W. Bush's presidency. One night, the sisters were fast asleep when something completely unexplainable woke them both up.
Midnight Mystery: The Ghostly Piano Concert
Let me set the scene: Jenna and Barbara are sound asleep in their White House bedroom when Jenna’s phone rings in the middle of the night. As they start to wake up, something truly bizarre happens. “We had this fireplace in our room, and all of a sudden, we started hearing this unmistakable sound of 1920s piano music,” Jenna recounted, her voice full of amazement. “It was crystal clear, like it was coming right out of the fireplace. I bolted out of bed and practically dove into Barbara’s bed. We were both wide awake, staring at each other, trying to figure out what was going on.”

But that wasn’t the end of it. The very next week, the sisters were treated to another supernatural performance—this time, it was opera music. Can you imagine lying in bed and hearing something like that? It’s like the White House has its own ghostly concert series!
Searching for Answers
Now, let’s be honest—when you hear something strange in the middle of the night, your first instinct is probably to find a logical explanation. That’s exactly what Jenna and Barbara tried to do. But when Jenna shared her spooky story with a friend who still works at the White House, she got confirmation that the mansion has a reputation for being haunted.
“I told my friend, ‘You wouldn’t believe what we heard last night.’ And he just laughed and said, ‘Oh, Jenna, you wouldn’t believe what I’ve heard over the years. It’s haunted,’” Jenna explained. “He assured me that the ghosts mean no harm—they’re just friendly spirits who like to make their presence known. Scary, sure, but in a comforting way.”
Is There Such a Thing as Friendly Ghosts?
Even after all these years, Jenna isn’t entirely sure if people can actually see ghosts. But she’s convinced that there’s something unexplainable about the White House—a presence that lingers in the halls and rooms. Hoda Kotb, her co-host on the Today show, chimed in with her own experiences. “I’ve definitely felt presences before,” Hoda said. “It’s not always scary—it can actually be kind of comforting, like someone is watching over you.”
