Colfax Haunted Hospital - Colfax, WA

10/11/2023

0 Comments

 
Last night Matt and Rose went out to the awesome looking Colfax Haunted Hospital in Colfax, WA. 

​The Hospital has been featured on many shows such as Ghost Hunters and others. 
Some history on the hospital: 

In 1893,  St. Ignatius was the first hospital to serve Whitman County.  The first patient was a pneumonia case. In the first month, ten were admitted. Three were released and seven remained. The first death was recorded in June of 1893, when F.E. Martin, a railroad employee, was crushed between railroad cars. He is just one of the ghosts known to walk the halls. The hospital was sold in 1968, but the building stayed open until 2003 and housed developmentally disabled adults in the bottom floors. All that remains now are the spirits of the past.
Some thoughts from Matt: 

We thought it was going be like a tour - but they basically just checked us in, gave us some equipment and basic instructions, then turned us loose in the facility

Here's some pics for you all to enjoy, you can find more information on the Colfax Haunted Hospital Here.

Fear Ranch Scream Park - A Killer New Haunt in Central Florida!

10/5/2023

Last Weekend we attended the opening weekend of the brand new Central Florida haunt, Fear Reach Scream Park, located at Far Reach Ranch in Tavares, FL just north of Orlando.

The two main houses, Bloodline Barn and Grimoire Manor, both had outstanding sets, sound and lighting design throughout. Very well done and extremely detailed!

The third attraction, Chainsaw Chase, is exactly that - a literal maze in a field with chainsaw scare actors lurking around every corner. Simple yet effective and very fun!
Picture
We also had a lot of fun at Dr Deviant’s Game Emporium, which included several small carnival type games, axe throwing, entertainment and a small bar. All of the employees were great there!

The other main bar, Pitchfork Parlor, had a ton of awesome drink options, and everything you want in a Halloween themed bar.

The local band, The Dismembered, and the scare actors in the Pitchfork Parlor were really enjoyable and we had a great time interacting with them.
