Colfax, Washington, far from the typical wilderness trails and alpine vistas, offers a different kind of adventure within the walls of St. Ignatius Hospital. This historic six-story building transforms into a pulse-racing venue for the Thursday Night Ghost Roam, a two-hour journey into the echoes of the past. Here, thrill-seekers and history buffs alike navigate creaky staircases and long dim corridors equipped with K2 meters—specialized tools used to detect unexplained electromagnetic fields, a staple in paranormal investigations.
This self-guided ghost hunt sets itself apart by blending authentic historical context with hands-on ghost hunting. Along the route, visitors read aged posters that map the hospital's layered past, revealing stories of healing, hardship, and forgotten lives. The cold of Washington evenings presses in, but participants can retreat to a warm room outfitted with live video feeds monitoring the building’s nooks and crannies, giving them a real-time glimpse of what lurks in the shadows.
St. Ignatius Hospital’s event is unique within the Pacific Northwest’s plethora of outdoor experiences because it offers a rare indoor nocturnal adventure grounded in local heritage and mystery. Its six floors and multiple rooms create varied environments that challenge expectations and invite curiosity beyond the usual outdoor pursuits. For visitors staying in nearby Spokane, it's a compelling detour from wilderness treks and river sports to something equally thrilling but a little more eerie.
