Creepiest Haunted Abandoned Hospital REAL Ghost Caught on Tape Ep.1
In Search of the Paranormal LIVE · January 2, 2016 · 3:14:27
Join us as the LiveSciFi.tv team investigates the eerily silent and long-abandoned St. Ignatius Hospital in Colfax, Washington. With over 80 years of history, this hospital once housed patients with severe mental disabilities, leaving behind a legacy shrouded in mystery and reported hauntings. Equipped with EVP recorders, EMF meters, a Ouija board, and psychic intuition, our team delves deep into the shadows of its vacant halls.
Throughout the night, we encounter chilling phenomena: unexplained orbs near wheelchairs, sudden drops in temperature to 47.3°F, disembodied footsteps, shadow figures darting across walls, and uncanny physical sensations like dizziness, chest heaviness, and even a sudden heat on Tim’s leg. Notably, during an intense Ouija session, a malevolent dark presence manifests resistance, while the spirit "Emily" claims to be trapped here, revealing cryptic and unsettling narratives. The team also communicates with "Rosie," a violent patient whose presence still seems to echo within soundproofed walls.
Despite numerous EVP attempts, including questions about life, death awareness, and requests for names, evidence remains suggestive but inconclusive, inviting further exploration. Highlights include witnessing toys pushed from hands, Monopoly board movements, a purple flashlight turning on mysteriously inside a pocket, and psychic sketches capturing apparitions. While we maintain a critical and respectful stance, the chilling atmosphere of St. Ignatius Hospital invites us—and you—to probe deeper into its haunted past.
Stay tuned for future episodes as we continue investigations at the hospital and adjacent old medical buildings.
