Built in 1893, St. Ignatius served the community for decades before closing its doors for good. Since then, its reputation as one of the most haunted sites in the Pacific Northwest has shifted from local reality to global attention, drawing in ghost hunters and curious visitors from around the world. From unexplained footsteps to chilling voices captured on recorders, from shadow figures to encounters with patients and nuns long gone, the hospital’s darkened hallways have no shortage of stories to tell.
In our chat, Ghost Tour Guide, Val Gregory shares her years of experience and knowledge about the haunts and history of St. Ignatius Hospital. We discuss its many entities, it's history and her journey from skeptic to believer, as well as, Colfax's recent expansion of its paranormal offerings with two additional haunted sites in town. Making the Palouse a must-investigate, must-experience, travel destination for the paranormally inclined.
Whether you’re a history buff, a paranormal enthusiast, or simply curious about what lingers in the shadows of this once-bustling hospital, you won’t want to miss this one.
