Five Idaho places with a haunted reputation and a public door

Old Idaho Penitentiary, Boise

The prison will sell you a self-guided walk on a Sunday in October. It will also tell you, on the same site, that nobody has proved a ghost.

The visit page puts the site at 2445 Old Penitentiary Rd., Boise, ID 83712. Phone, (208) 334-2844. Email, oldidahopen@ishs.idaho.gov. A rental answer on the same page uses shsoldidahopenitentiary@ishs.idaho.gov. The photography answer uses shsoldidahopen@ishs.idaho.gov. I am not going to pick which inbox is the one that answers. The footer of that page is a different address and a different phone: 2205 Old Penitentiary Rd., Boise, ID 83712, (208) 334-2682. The FAQ says the Idaho State Archives, which holds the resident files, is at 2205 Old Penitentiary Road, and it gives the archives their own number, (208) 334-3356. The 2205 line is the archives and the society footer. It is not the line I would use for a ticket.

Winter hours on the page are Monday through Sunday, 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. Summer hours, Memorial Day through Labor Day, are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and that summer line adds last admission at 4 p.m. The FAQ repeats winter as 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. and then adds last admission at 4 p.m. for winter too. Labor Day 2026 was September 7. October 4, 2026, the day this was checked, is after that Monday, so the winter clock is the one that covers this month. I am not going to promise a 10 a.m. door in October because the summer line is already over.

Admission, on the page: adults 13 and older, $9. Seniors 60 and older, $7. Children 6 to 12, $5. Under 6, free. Members, free. Children 12 and under must be with an adult. The page says to ask about AAA, student, and veteran discounts, Museums for All for EBT cards, and Blue Star Museums for active duty. It does not print the discounted dollar. Guided tours, most days, are $2 more. Reservations for those tours are only at the front desk, because of weather and staffing. Self-guided tours run during operating hours. Call (208) 334-2844 close to the day for the guided times. The site is closed on major state holidays. The page does not list which holidays those are.

The same FAQ answers the haunting question in the site's own words. Several paranormal groups, including a team from Ghost Adventures, have investigated. "While there is no conclusive evidence to suggest there are ghosts at this site, many visitors have seen and heard things they cannot explain." Some, including that show, captured images the site calls strange or unexplainable. Others claim voices, a physical touch, or a heaviness, "specifically in Siberia (solitary confinement cells) and the Gallows Room in the Maximum Security cell house." The site says it leaves the decision to the visitor. It names other shows that filmed there: The Lowe Files, Haunted Towns, and Destination Fear. Then a note: "Only Raymond Snowden was executed in the Gallows Room." The executions list on the same page names ten men, and Snowden is the last, October 18, 1957, 12:05 a.m., in the Gallows Room. The others are placed at the rose garden, near a yard gate, or, for Tambiago, near the territorial prison. Claimed. No conclusive evidence. One execution in that room, on the site's own list. I am not going to turn the FAQ into a proof, and I am not going to move the other nine deaths into the Gallows Room because a visitor felt something there.

A separate answer says the site does not allow professional photography, photo sessions, filming, or photography equipment beyond a handheld camera, during regular hours or during events. Permits go through (208) 334-2844 or shsoldidahopen@ishs.idaho.gov, and the page prefers about two weeks' notice. The still in this guide is an old Commons file. It is not a permit to shoot a session in the yard.

The events list on the page I opened names Fright Nights: All Ages Night on October 30, 2026, and Fright Nights: Adult Night on October 31, 2026. I did not open those ticket pages, so I am not printing a Fright Nights price or a start time. Daytime admission is the door that is already on the hours block.

Visit: 2445 Old Penitentiary Rd., Boise, ID 83712. (208) 334-2844. history.idaho.gov/oldpen. Winter hours, checked in October 2026: 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. daily. The FAQ adds last admission at 4 p.m. Adults $9, seniors $7, ages 6 to 12 $5, under 6 free. Guided tours $2 more, booked only at the desk. The footer prints 2205 Old Penitentiary Rd. and (208) 334-2682. Siberia, the Gallows Room, and the "no conclusive evidence" line are the site's own FAQ. Snowden is the only execution the site places in that room.

The Idanha, Boise

Bombay Grill will sell you lunch or dinner on the ground floor. Guru Donuts, on a downtown listing, will sell you a donut in the same building. Neither page tells a ghost story. Three other pages do, and they do not tell the same one.

Bombay's own page says 928 W Main St., Boise, ID 83702. Phone, (208) 345-7888. Lunch buffet, Tuesday through Sunday, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. A la carte, Tuesday through Sunday, 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. The page says the restaurant is in the historic Idanha Building, and that the buffet is the only Indian lunch buffet in Boise. That "only" is the restaurant's sentence. Closed Monday, because the days printed are Tuesday through Sunday. The page says the restaurant has been serving since 2009. It does not mention a bellman, a basement, or a fourth-floor window.

A Downtown Boise Association listing for Guru Donuts uses the same street address, Suite 100, and (208) 571-7792. Hours on that listing: closed Monday, Tuesday through Sunday 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. The footer of that listing is 816 W Bannock St., Ste 310. That is the association's address on the page, not a second donut shop. I am not going to send a letter about a maple bar to Bannock Street. I also did not open a Guru website of the shop's own, so the Tuesday clock is the listing's clock.

Wikipedia, which I opened, says the building is at 10th and Main, built in 1901, designed by W. S. Campbell, at a cost of $125,000, listed on the National Register in 1974, and turned into apartments in the 1970s. It names Bombay Grill and Guru Donuts on the first floor, and 10th Street Station Bar and Mullet Proof Hair Co. in the basement. I did not open hours for the bar or the salon. The fourth floor, in every ghost account below, is not a restaurant. It is apartments. You can eat on the ground floor. You cannot buy a tour of a resident's bedroom from the pages I opened.

The paranormal section on that Wikipedia page has no footnotes. I am not using it as the ghost source.

Rick Just, Idaho Press, October 16, 2020, is a history column, and it labels the haunting as rumor before it gets to a death he reconstructs. "There have long been rumors of ghosts in the Idanha." Curtains said to flap, doors said to open and shut, locks said to come unlocked, moans said to come from the elevator shaft. Just then offers the age of the elevator, "the oldest elevator in Idaho," or residents annoyed that the lift is down again. He writes that there have been sensational deaths. "In the early 1900s a man stabbed his wife to death with a pair of scissors and buried her beneath the basement floor. A bellboy was allegedly shot by a guest of the hotel in the late 1970s. The guest later died of suicide in the Idanha." Allegedly is his word on the bellboy. The scissors sentence is stated, not sourced, in the column I opened. I am not going to promote it to a record.

The death he then documents is Alexander Palmer Jacobs, a Kuna farmer, in 1921. Just writes that Jacobs asked about a room at 10:30 on a Monday evening, walked away, nearly took a room at the Bristol, came back to the Idanha about 11:30, and got a fourth-floor room. Relatives called at 1 a.m. Jacobs called his wife in Kuna at 3 a.m. At 5 a.m. a caller from Nampa said that if Jacobs tried to leave, the hotel should call 391-J-1. About 5:15 a.m., Just writes, two waitresses saw hands on a sill, then Jacobs on the ledge, then the jump. He died on impact. Just writes that police found a glass of liquid meant to be taken before an X-ray, and a Boise doctor's card, and that Jacobs was due for an operation that day. He writes that Jacobs was said to be worth some $50,000, with an 80-acre ranch and property on Grove, Broadway, and Warm Springs Avenue, and that Jacobs was the son of Cyrus Jacobs, the builder of the Jacobs-Uberuaga House next to the Basque Museum. That is Just's reconstruction of a suicide. It is not a sentence that says Jacobs is still in the building.

Tawsha Box, 103.5 Kiss FM, October 5, 2017, tells it differently. She writes that the hotel opened January 1, 1901, with 200 rooms, 75 of them with baths. Wikipedia's page does not give me January 1 or the room count, so those numbers stay with Box. She writes that a bellman was rumored to have been gunned down, and that his ghost has been said to move the elevator and to peer around corners. She writes that the basement, where cards and billiards were, "is also where a woman was murdered and buried," and that her ghost lingers on the lower levels. She writes that an aggressive entity on the third and fourth floors pulls people out of bed. Rumored. Has been said. She ends by asking whether the reader believes any of it. Her scissors-free basement woman and Just's scissors burial are not the same sentence. I am not going to glue them.

Tracy Bringhurst, in a Boise Weekly piece published by the Idaho Press on August 27, 2022, quotes tour operators instead. Mark Iverson of Idahistory, with Jeff Wade, was running "A Macabre History of Boise," Thursdays at 7 p.m., about two hours, $25, meeting at the old Assay Office at 210 Main St. That price and that Thursday are what Bringhurst reported in 2022. I did not open a 2026 Idahistory schedule, so I am not selling you that ticket. Iverson, in her piece, calls the Idanha one of the popular stops. He says he and Wade can find reference to at least 10 haunting reports in archives and interviews, that the fourth floor is known to be the most haunted, and that a 1907 story about a ghost in bathroom mirrors had no references when they looked. He says that in 1975 there was a murder-suicide on the fourth floor, that in 1921 a man jumped from a fourth-floor window, and that people living on the floor have reported banging and scratching. Ten reports, as Iverson told Bringhurst. A 1975 murder-suicide, in that interview. Just's bellboy is "allegedly" the late 1970s, and the guest's suicide is a separate sentence in Just. Box's bellman is rumored, with no year. I am not going to decide that these are one shooting.

Visit: Bombay Grill, 928 W Main St., Boise, ID 83702. (208) 345-7888. bombayboise.com. Lunch buffet, checked in October 2026: Tuesday through Sunday, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Dinner, 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., those same days. Monday is not on the page. Guru Donuts, on the Downtown Boise listing, is Suite 100 at the same street address, (208) 571-7792, Tuesday through Sunday 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. The listing's footer, 816 W Bannock, is the association. Just, October 16, 2020, is the rumor list, the scissors sentence, the alleged bellboy, and Alexander Palmer Jacobs. Box, October 5, 2017, is the January 1 opening, the 200 rooms, the rumored bellman, and the basement woman. Bringhurst, August 27, 2022, is Iverson's fourth floor, the 1975 murder-suicide, and a Thursday tour price I did not recheck in 2026.

The Egyptian Theatre, Boise

The box office will sell you a ticket on a weekday without asking you to believe in a projectionist. A 2017 radio piece will say the projectionist is still there. A city historian, on a later television piece, will not back that up.

The contact page says 700 W Main St, Boise, ID 83702. Box office, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Closed Saturday and Sunday, unless an event falls on a weekend, in which case the box office opens one hour before the scheduled door time. Local and box office phone, (208) 387-1273. Information line, (208) 345-0454. The page says those business hours reflect non-event days, that event days may vary, and that the theater may close without warning for technical work. The box office normally stays open 15 minutes into an event, and it can close whenever management, the promoter, or the event decides. October 4, 2026, is a Sunday. The weekday block does not cover it. I did not open an events page for that Sunday, so I am not promising a door on the day this was checked.

Don Nelson, KIVI, quotes Boise city historian Brandi Burns on the King Tut craze of 1922 and the Egyptian revival look. He writes that the house became the Fox, then the Ada, then the Egyptian again, that a redevelopment agency wanted it down in the 1970s, and that the 1927 pipe organ helped stop that. He writes that the station crawled under the stage to see the organ. He then asks Burns whether the ghost stories are fact or fiction. Burns told him she wishes the ghosts in Boise's haunted buildings would tell historians their story, but that they will not. The page mentions a silent-film night on February 15 and does not print a year. I am not going to assign that date to 2026 or to 2027.

Tawsha Box, 103.5 Kiss FM, September 29, 2017, is the Joe story. She writes that a man named Joe worked 35 years as the projectionist, had a heart attack walking up the stairs to the booth, and died in the theater. Employees, she writes, have said they smell odd aromas, hear a man's laughter when no one is there, and feel a touch. She writes that Joe likes to mess with people who seem pompous, that most of the activity is in the booth or the last row of the upper balcony, and that he will come down to the stage if he is motivated. She also writes about a woman in late-1920s clothes, thought to have been early managerial staff, who walks the theater happy, and who might be the one touching people or causing the smells. On November 27, 2016, she writes, a piece of ceiling fell onto the stage during a Brothers Osborne show, narrowly missing the band, and it happened a second time the same night. She asks whether Joe was responsible. She then writes, "Is the Egyptian Theater haunted? I can confidently say 'yes.'" That yes is hers. Burns, in Nelson's piece, is the historian who says the ghosts will not talk to her. I am not going to treat a falling ceiling as a spirit because a radio piece wonders about it, and I am not going to treat Burns's joke as a denial with footnotes. She did not confirm Joe. Box did, in her own voice.

Visit: 700 W Main St, Boise, ID 83702. (208) 387-1273. Information line, (208) 345-0454. egyptiantheatre.net/contact-us. Box office, checked in October 2026: 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Closed Saturday and Sunday unless an event opens it one hour before doors. Joe, the woman in 1920s clothes, and the November 27, 2016 ceiling are Box, September 29, 2017, including her yes. Burns's line is Nelson's KIVI piece.

Colonial Theater, Idaho Falls

The Colonial will sell you a seat on a published night in the 2026-27 season. It will not, on the pages I opened, agree with itself about how many seats that is. A 2024 news story will put a woman in a green dress in the building, and then it will say the historical record does not.

The venue page says the theater seats 998. Later on the same page it says the 988-seat Colonial. I am not going to sell the extra ten seats. It says the house opened November 10, 1919, at a cost of just over $175,000, built by C. A. Spath, Dr. C. M. Cline, and S. K. Mittry. It says the name became the Paramount in 1929, the building closed in the late 1980s, and Dick Clayton Sr. and his son Steve donated it to the Idaho Falls Arts Council in 1994. A $4.2 million campaign, the Phantom project, renovated it. The page says the Willard Arts Center, named for Miles and Virginia Willard, holds galleries, classrooms, studios, and meeting space, and that the Colonial is one of three large historic theaters still in Idaho. It says that in 2014 the Colonial hosted over 25,000 patrons. Addresses on that page: Colonial Theater, 450 A Street, Idaho Falls, ID 83402. Willard Arts Center, 271 Broadway, Idaho Falls, ID 83402, (208) 552-1080. Administrative office, 498 A Street, Idaho Falls, ID 83402, (208) 522-0471. The 271 Broadway number, on the contact page, is also the ARTitorium's number. I am not going to call Broadway and assume I have reached the Colonial box office.

The contact page's office and gallery hours are Monday through Thursday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Friday 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Saturday 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Sunday closed, at 498 A Street. That is the office. It is not a line that says the auditorium is open those hours. The event policy says that, typically, exterior doors open an hour before shows and theater doors open 30 minutes prior. It does not print a curtain time. Children 4 and older need a ticket. Children 3 and under are admitted only to specific all-ages events. Concessions may be open before the show and at intermission, in the Carr Gallery, and the policy says drinks are allowed in the Colonial.

The season page lists public performances at the Colonial and the Willard, including Gravity on September 29, 2026, Sons of Serendip on October 8, 2026, and Kate the Chemist on October 23, 2026, plus later dates through May 14, 2027. It prints package prices, from $90.40 up through $481.23 depending on the package and the tier. It does not print a single-ticket price for Sons of Serendip, and it does not print a start time for any of those nights. October 8, 2026, is a Thursday. October 23 is a Friday. I am not going to invent a 7 p.m. curtain. The door I can describe is the one the policy already states: about an hour before whatever time is on the ticket you actually bought.

Rett Nelson, EastIdahoNews.com, October 31, 2024, is the ghost story, and he keeps the brakes on. Kathy Nave, who runs a Ghost Walk of downtown buildings, believes a green figure in a photo is a ghost at the Colonial. A history book compiled for the 2019 centennial, Nelson writes, contains tech-crew reports of moaning, eerie sounds, objects moving, and lights flickering. One stage manager's story, quoted from that account: the building was locked and alarmed, and the next day the mirrored lights in the dressing room were on. Nelson then writes, "The historical record does not reference a lady in a green dress or any specific ghost sighting." Brandi Newton, executive director of the Idaho Falls Arts Council, tells him that no one on her staff has seen anything supernatural, so it is hard to say whether the building is haunted. Office manager Chantel Bristol says, "I keep waiting to get spooked working here." Nave says she has not seen the ghost either, but that if you sit on the sofa in the quiet you can hear a woman sobbing. Her story, as Nelson reports it: around 1962, at what was then the Paramount, a woman in a green dress expected a proposal, was told at intermission that the man was marrying someone else, and hanged herself in the last stall of the women's restroom with a construction wire. Nelson writes that a search of newspaper archives did not turn up a report of a woman dying at the Paramount around that time. Nave's photo, he writes, is a screenshot, dark, time-stamped 10:30 p.m., which she says is the wrong time. He writes that it is unclear why it is a screenshot rather than the original. Believes. Tells him. The archives, as he checked them, do not have the death. Newton's staff, as she told him, have not seen it. I am not going to put the woman back into the stall.

Visit: 450 A Street, Idaho Falls, ID 83402, on the venue page. Office, 498 A Street, (208) 522-0471. The Broadway number on the same footer is (208) 552-1080, which the contact page also gives for the ARTitorium at 271 Broadway. idahofallsarts.org/venues/colonial-theater. Office and gallery hours, checked in October 2026: Monday through Thursday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Friday 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Saturday 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., at 498 A Street. Theater doors, per the event policy, typically open an hour before a show. Sons of Serendip is listed for October 8, 2026, and Kate the Chemist for October 23, 2026, with no curtain time on that page. The seat count on the venue page is 998 in one sentence and 988 in another. Nave's green dress, Newton's staff, and the missing archive report are Nelson, October 31, 2024.

The Owyhee, Boise

The Owyhee Tavern will sell you dinner inside the old hotel. It will also tell you the place is closed on Sunday, and then its about page will offer Sunday brunch. A 2017 radio piece will put a woman in Room 136. The tavern pages I opened do not mention her.

The contact page prints the address twice, as 1109 Main St., Boise, Idaho 83702, and as 1109 W Main St., Boise, Idaho 83702. Phone, (208) 639-0440. Sunday, on that hours block, is closed. Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., with lunch 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., happy hour 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., and dinner 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. Friday is also printed as 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., with the same lunch, happy hour, and dinner, and then "Late Night Happy Hour 9 pm - Close." Saturday is 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., happy hour 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., dinner 4 p.m. to 9 p.m., and the same late-night line. Saturday's block does not repeat a lunch line. The dinner lines carry an asterisk. The page does not say what the asterisk means. "Close," on the late-night line, is not a clock. I am not going to tell you the kitchen ends at 9 and also that the night continues, as if those were the same fact.

The about page says the tavern offers Sunday brunch, lunch, and dinner. The contact page says Sunday is closed. I am not going to book you a Sunday brunch off the about page. That about page also describes two other restaurants, the Tavern at Eagle Island, 6500 N Linder Rd., Ste 100, Eagle, and the Tavern at Bown Crossing, 3111 S. Bown Way, Boise. The Eagle copy mentions meals starting around $12. That sentence is on the Eagle section. I am not going to charge it at 1109 Main.

Hendricks Commercial Properties, the page I opened for the building, says 1109 W Main St. and also "the Owyhee Hotel at 11th and Main." It says the 1910 building now holds office, 36 studio and one-bedroom apartments, restaurants and retail, a ballroom, and a seventh-floor penthouse. It names a lobby bar and a flexible public workspace as amenities for residents and office tenants. Key tenants on that page: Owyhee Tavern and SALT by Pepper. I did not open SALT's hours. The leasing contact is Cade Kennedy, (208) 291-1873. The footer of that page is 525 3rd Street, Beloit, WI 53511. That is the company's line, not the tavern. Michelle Heart, in 2017, put the building at 12th and Main. The 2018 photograph is the 1100 block of W Main, which is the address the tavern prints. I am not going to move the door to 12th because a radio piece said 12th.

Heart, Lite 95.3, October 19, 2017, spells it Owhyee. She writes that she and her fiancé ate at the Owyhee Tavern after the Boise Philharmonic. The ghost material is secondhand, and she says where she got it. She cites Haunted Rooms for an opening in 1910, socialites, a rooftop garden, a restaurant, and a dance floor. I did not open Haunted Rooms. She cites Things That Go Boo for a onetime general manager who said that in 15-plus years he had not seen anything himself, and that guests told the desk they had seen spirits, and that staff admitted to spirits in the basement and the meeting rooms. I did not open Things That Go Boo. The story she calls the one that spooks her is a TripAdvisor user, a guest in Room 136, who woke to a woman standing in the room, felt calm, asked who she was, and later told the night clerk. The clerk offered another room. The couple stayed. That is Heart's retelling of a review. I did not open the review. She writes that major renovations in 2013 left a mixed-use building with the tavern, two hair salons, apartments, and meeting rooms, and that she could not find recent signs of the hauntings. Hendricks, on the page I opened, names the tavern and SALT, not two hair salons. I am not going to leave the salons in the building because a 2017 piece remembered them. Room 136, if it was a hotel room, is not a table you can reserve on the tavern page. The tavern page does not use the number.

Visit: 1109 W Main St., Boise, ID 83702. The same page also prints 1109 Main St. (208) 639-0440. owyheetavern.com/contact-us. Hours, checked in October 2026: Sunday closed on the contact page, and Sunday brunch on the about page. Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., plus a late-night happy hour from 9 p.m. to "close." Saturday, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., with the same unfinished close, and no lunch line. Hendricks says 11th and Main. Heart, October 19, 2017, says 12th and Main, spells Owhyee, and retells a TripAdvisor guest in Room 136. I did not open Haunted Rooms, Things That Go Boo, or that review.

How to use this

Start with the door that matches the week you are actually having. The penitentiary's self-guided walk is the everyday door, (208) 334-2844, at 2445 Old Penitentiary Road. October 2026 is past Labor Day, so the posted clock is noon to 5, and the FAQ adds last admission at 4. Adults $9, seniors $7, ages 6 to 12 $5, under 6 free. Guided tours are $2 more and only if the desk is running one that day. The footer prints 2205 and (208) 334-2682, which the FAQ ties to the archives at that same 2205 address, with yet another number, (208) 334-3356. Three emails sit on the visit page. The site says there is no conclusive evidence of ghosts, then it reports voices, touches, and a heavy feeling in Siberia and the Gallows Room, and it says only Raymond Snowden was executed in that room. Professional photo sessions need a permit. Fright Nights is on the calendar for October 30 and 31, 2026. I did not open the ticket pages. Bombay Grill is the Idanha's public door, (208) 345-7888, 928 W Main, lunch 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and dinner 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., Tuesday through Sunday. Guru Donuts, on the Downtown Boise listing, is Suite 100, (208) 571-7792, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. those same days. Both are closed Monday on the pages I opened. The listing footer at 816 W Bannock is the association. Wikipedia puts the bar and the salon in the basement and does not give me their hours. Just, October 16, 2020, writes rumors, a scissors burial, an alleged late-1970s bellboy shooting, and the 1921 death of Alexander Palmer Jacobs at about 5:15 a.m. Box, October 5, 2017, writes a January 1, 1901 opening, 200 rooms, a rumored bellman, and a woman buried in the basement. Bringhurst, August 27, 2022, quotes Iverson on a 1975 fourth-floor murder-suicide, a 1921 jump, and at least 10 reports, plus a Thursday tour at $25 that I did not recheck. The Egyptian box office is (208) 387-1273, 700 W Main, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, with (208) 345-0454 as the information line. Weekends are closed unless an event opens the window an hour before doors. October 4, 2026, is a Sunday, and I did not open a Sunday event.
