In the quiet town of Colfax, Washington, an extraordinary adventure awaits inside the imposing 50,000 square foot St. Ignatius Hospital. This sprawling structure offers more than just history and architecture—it’s the setting for a gripping 4-hour public investigation organized by St. Ignatius Hospital itself. Designed for small groups of 10 to 15 participants, these investigations combine hands-on technology with the thrill of uncovering the unexplained.
This experience stands apart in the region’s outdoor and adventure offerings by diving into the eerie and enigmatic world of paranormal investigation within a contained, historic indoor environment. While the Palouse region is known for its rolling wheat fields and outdoor recreation, St. Ignatius Hospital draws visitors looking for an intense, unique experience sheltered from the natural elements yet connected to the local history.
Participants are equipped with advanced ghost-hunting devices such as SLS (Structured Light Sensor) cameras, K2 meters, spirit boxes, Rem pods, and phasma boxes. For investigators both novice and seasoned, this gear reveals unseen dimensions and captures subtle electromagnetic shifts—tools that turn a simple walk through the hospital into an almost scientific examination of supernatural phenomena. For those who prefer assistance, volunteer guides are available to join, lending context and expertise.
The hospital itself, a relic from earlier 20th-century healthcare, offers long, dim hallways and rooms steeped in stories that fuel speculation. The eerie ambiance is palpable, making each investigation a suspenseful blend of history, technology, and adrenaline.
Whether you’re a local curious about the building’s mysteries or a traveler seeking an adventure unlike any hiking trail or river run, the St. Ignatius public investigation tour delivers. It’s a standout in the Colfax outdoor activity scene—an indoor dive into the unknown that complements the region’s natural allure with a pulse-quickening twist.
