At 1009 S Mill St in Colfax, Washington, the Winter Special — 4 Hour Private Investigation invites brave visitors into a six‑story abandoned hospital whose empty wards hold a layered, often chilling history. For four hours, a private party moves methodically through all six floors, using paranormal gear and live camera feeds to document anomalies, test theories, and hear the building’s stories. This isn’t a staged Haunted House; it’s an investigative session built for small groups who want hands‑on time with equipment seen on TV and YouTube and for anyone drawn to dark corners of history.
The core attraction is simple and singular: six levels of intact institutional architecture—long corridors, stairwells, treatment rooms and service areas—that together create a compact vertical landscape to explore. Investigators use EMF meters, digital recorders, night‑vision and live feeds to conduct experiments and collect data; cameras stream to monitors so you can review footage in real time. Guides provide background on the site’s past and lead controlled, private investigations that emphasize observation and respect for the building.
Practical details are streamlined. Drive to the end of Mill Street. You will end up in our parking lot. Meet at the back door 15 minutes before the start of the tour. No Entry after the tour has begun. The experience is best for adults or mature teens who can navigate stairs and low light safely; organizers run private bookings, making this an ideal choice for groups of friends, paranormal clubs, or curious couples seeking an intense, guided investigation.
What makes this offering stand out in Colfax’s outdoor‑recreation mix is contrast: the town’s usual trails and river activities meet a controlled urban exploration that taps local history and film‑style investigative tech. The site operates as both a historical touchpoint and a testing ground for amateur researchers, connecting a community interested in heritage, mystery and hands‑on experiences. Because visits are private and limited in size, the setting retains an intimate, focused atmosphere that amplifies small findings into memorable moments.
Safety and respect are central: wear sturdy shoes, bring a charged phone and a headlamp, and follow guide instructions for dark spaces and stairwells. The Winter Special is a concentrated, four‑hour deep dive into urban mystery—equal parts history lesson and field lab—perfect for those who want more than a ghost story: a chance to investigate it themselves.
Expect to leave with documentation: audio clips, timestamped videos and fresh perspectives on local lore. Bring extra batteries and a small notepad to log observations. Because investigations run on a schedule, punctuality preserves your time and the group’s ability to cover all floors. Bookings are private—reserve through the experience’s online booking to guarantee a session tailored to your group and respect site rules.
