Located in the small town of Colfax, Washington, St. Ignatius Hospital offers a uniquely immersive 3-hour public ghost hunt that ventures deep into the building’s shadowed past. This historic hospital, a fixture of Colfax’s early 20th-century landscape, has long drawn curiosity for its peeling walls and reportedly restless spirits. Positioned on South Mill Street, the hospital is an atmospheric setting for anyone drawn to the unknown.
Unlike typical haunted tours, the St. Ignatius experience limits groups to just 10 to 15 participants, ensuring a focused, hands-on investigation. Guests are equipped with advanced paranormal tools—including K2 Meters, SLS cameras, phasma boxes, spirit boxes, REM pods, shadow detectors, and data loggers. The mission? To detect unexplained phenomena and capture moments that standard sightseeing can’t offer.
The hospital’s architecture, with its aged hallways and abandoned patient rooms, provides a natural backdrop for chilling stories shared at the outset of the hunt. These narratives root participants in the hospital’s past, from its medical significance to its darker tales whispered by locals over decades. The eerie ambient noises, dim lighting, and creaking floors create an electric tension that amplifies the hunt’s excitement.
St. Ignatius Hospital’s commitment to small groups, quality gear, and candid storytelling makes it more than a paranormal tour—it is a deep dive into Colfax’s cultural heritage through a spectral lens. This activity appeals especially to those interested in history, the paranormal, or anyone seeking an adventure that stretches beyond typical outdoor pursuits. The hospital stands apart in this region for offering an intense, intimate paranormal inquiry, complementing the rural Pacific Northwest’s broader outdoor offerings with something hauntingly different.
