History Goes Bump: Ghost Tours For The Mind8 Feb 2024

Ep. 524 - St. Ignatius Hospital

St. Ignatius Hospital dates back to the 1890s and was started by a group of nuns from Montreal. For over seventy years it served as a healthcare facility and then reopened as an assisted living facility that shuttered in 2003. The building was left to decay for many years, but was taken under the wing of the Colfax Chamber of Commerce and the Whitman County Historical Society in 2015. Tours have been hosted since then and some of them include talk of ghosts. Join us and our guest Valoree Gregory, Director of the Whitman County Historical Society and tour guide at St. Ignatius, as we explore the history and hauntings of St. Ignatius Hospital. The Moment in Oddity features Exploding Casket Syndrome and This Month in History features the introduction of Alka Seltzer. Our location was suggested by our listener Nate.
