The Haunted Record

Idaho

16 sourced records. Reports are attributed claims, not proof of supernatural activity.

Albion · Idaho

Albion State Normal School

Andrew Weeks's book records reports of disturbing eyes at the old normal-school campus. Modern seasonal scare attractions on the property are theatrical entertainment and should not be used as evidence for the older haunting claims. Check the operator's permitted visiting arrangements.

Pocatello · Idaho

Bannock County Courthouse

The courthouse appears in John Brian's Ghosts of Pocatello through an account of an apparent woman and a judge. Arcadia's description confirms the story's inclusion. A functioning courthouse requires ordinary civic access rules; a published ghost narrative grants no special permission to investigate.

Boise · Idaho

Boise State Communications Building

City Cast Boise’s tour of local haunting stories includes reports of late-night phenomena at Boise State’s Communications Building. The episode places the university location alongside other established Boise ghost traditions. It supplies identifiable local media coverage, while leaving the nature and cause of the reported activity unresolved.

Boise · Idaho

Egyptian Theatre

Visit Idaho recounts the Egyptian Theatre's tradition of a ghost called Joe, associated with a former projectionist. The theater opened in 1927. Its haunting account is part of venue lore; the identification of reported activity with a deceased worker remains unverified.

Soda Springs · Idaho

Enders Hotel and Museum

An account attributed to Ghosts of Idaho investigators describes footsteps, displaced objects and a puzzling basement photograph at the 1917 Enders building. The investigators also acknowledge finding no paranormal activity on some floors. Brandon Schrand’s memoir describes growing up here, providing a separate nonfiction account of the hotel’s human history.

Pocatello · Idaho

Frazier Hall

John Brian's Ghosts of Pocatello includes a reported theatre enthusiast who supposedly continues attending performances at Frazier Hall. The publisher establishes a direct book connection. This is a documented local haunting narrative, with neither the figure's existence nor identity independently proven.

Gooding · Idaho

Gooding University Inn / Former Tuberculosis Hospital

The surviving Gooding College building became part of Idaho’s tuberculosis hospital and later an inn. Idaho News 6 documented investigators’ return to the property; investigator Jennifer Ward subsequently discussed claimed apparitions, physical sensations and recordings on The Grave Talks. These accounts concern one building known by several former names.

Oakley · Idaho

Howells Opera House

Built for Judge B. P. Howells in 1907, this theater was rescued by local residents after demolition was considered in the 1970s. Southern Idaho's tourism organization recounts sightings of a dark-haired woman backstage and among theater audiences, making the continuing performance venue a setting for local ghost lore.

Boise · Idaho

Idanha Hotel Building

Boise’s former Idanha Hotel is associated with unexplained elevator behavior and reports of apparitions. City Cast Boise discusses its ghost traditions, while Dick D’Easum’s history documents the landmark’s guests and haunting reputation. The building is now associated with residential use, so historic-hotel stories do not imply public access to its corridors.

Wallace · Idaho

Jameson Hotel

Author Deborah Cuyle recounts stories about Maggie and Ollie at the Jameson, while explicitly noting that records of Maggie's stay have not been found. Reported activity includes locks, lights and apparent party sounds. The missing documentation is an essential part of assessing this popular hotel narrative.

Lava Hot Springs · Idaho

Lava Hot Springs Inn

This former hospital's paranormal reputation attracted local investigators before Ghost Adventures filmed there in 2015. Contemporary Idaho reporting interviewed its owner about the production and the resulting interest from visitors. The television episode presents the inn as a haunted location; that documented media appearance does not verify the reported spirits or claims about mineral waters.

Athol · Idaho

Museum at the Brig

Farragut's former naval jail is now a museum, and Visit Idaho links its haunting reputation to published reports of unsettling experiences around the old base. The preserved cells provide real military-history context. A haunting claim remains an interpretation of those experiences rather than a proven feature.

Boise · Idaho

Old Idaho Penitentiary

Idaho's historical society confirms visits from Ghost Adventures and other television teams while explicitly noting there is no conclusive evidence of ghosts. Reported voices, sensations, and images are presented as experiences. The site also offers records for researching the people confined there.

Pocatello · Idaho

Pocatello High School

A school security recording attracted national attention when viewers interpreted a moving image as an apparition near a hallway bathroom. The Idaho State Journal reported the footage and its discussion on Bill O'Reilly's television program. The story concerns a disputed image at an active school, not an established ghost sighting.

Coeur d'Alene · Idaho

Roosevelt Inn

Deborah Cuyle's Ghosts of Coeur d'Alene and the Silver Valley includes reported figures identified as a teacher and a boy at the Roosevelt Inn. The publisher confirms this location-specific story. Those identities belong to the account and should not be treated as independently verified apparitions.

Hansen · Idaho

Stricker Ranch and Rock Creek Station

Ghosts of Idaho's Magic Valley recounts a caretaker's encounter with an apparition interpreted as a pioneer woman at Stricker Ranch. The publisher confirms that specific account. The historical site can be visited for its transportation history without endorsing that interpretation.
