Summary

It was once a college dormitory. Then a tuberculosis hospital. Now it’s a rustic inn with a haunted reputation that keeps growing darker. What happened inside the Old Gooding TB Hospital?

In this episode of The Grave Talks, we sit down with Jennifer Ward, investigator with Western Idaho Paranormal Inc. (W.I.P.), a nonprofit group dedicated to scientific, professional paranormal investigation across Idaho and the Pacific Northwest. W.I.P. doesn't just chase shadows—they document them. And what they discovered inside the walls of the Gooding University Inn (formerly the Idaho State Tuberculosis Hospital) is unforgettable.

Built in 1920 as a dormitory for Gooding College, the building later served as a tuberculosis hospital from 1947 to 1976—a place of isolation, suffering, and many deaths. Now, as an inn being carefully restored, visitors and investigators alike have reported overwhelming feelings of dread, unexplainable physical sensations, and full-bodied apparitions.

Jennifer shares one of the most compelling EVPs ever captured in the building, along with chilling details of what her team experienced in the attic and basement, where even the current innkeeper refuses to go. Is the energy just residual from decades of death? Or is something more intelligent—and possibly sinister—anchored to the location?

This is the haunted history of the Gooding TB Hospital—a place where spirits roam long hallways, shadows watch from corners, and the past refuses to die quietly.
