St. Ignatius Hospital
Winter Special- 4 hour Private Investigation
St. Ignatius Hospital in Colfax, Washington, is a historic multi-floor property repurposed for paranormal investigations and public tours. The building offers a variety of curated experiences—public ghost hunts, private investigations, day tours, and themed night roams—across six floors and roughly 50,000 square feet of interior space. Booking options include short public hunts designed for 10–15 participants, private investigations that allow groups of up to 10 to rent the entire facility, and a specialized haunted-hotel exploration focused on the site’s 1893 hotel and boarding house history.
Each experience provides equipment or access to ghost-hunting tools such as K2 meters, SLS cameras, and spirit boxes, and many events include live camera feeds and a heated base room for monitoring. Guided and self-guided formats are available; some investigations include volunteer guides or expert support while private bookings allow exclusive access and a dedicated base camp with up to eight camera feeds. Safety procedures and clear group limits are enforced for an intimate, controlled investigation environment. St. Ignatius Hospital appeals to guests seeking historical context, authentic atmosphere, and modern investigative tools while exploring reportedly haunted spaces. All descriptions and offerings reflect current public listings and on-site features for prospective visitors and investigators.
