Researched by Ghosts of Idaho
UPDATE!
10/21/2003
NOTE:
The following was e-mailed to us by a visitor to our web site.
While
browsing the web, I came across your posting relating to the
Enders Hotel Ghost Picture. I lived in Soda at the time the
Enders was being remodeled (2001-2002). The picture that you
posted was the subject of minor town gossip after it was taken.
While I never knew the family that was doing the remodeling,
the general story was that the picture was indeed real and
that the girl who took it would never forge such a thing.
That said, it always appeared to me to be a flashlight beam
on a wall, as opposed to a picture of a ghost.
The story
around town was that the ghost was the murdered spirit of
someone shot at "The Office." "The Office"
was a bar that existed in the building prior
Investigation
notes (7/29/2002)
We
were told about a picture that was taken before the remodeling
of the Enders Hotel in Soda Springs, ID. We investigated the
haunting and these are the results. Please note that we had
no information or description of the ghosts prior to this
investigation.
The
Hotel is a three story building with the 2nd floor serving
as a museum and the 3rd floor containing rooms. We knew the
picture was taken in the basement but we decided to investigate
the rest of the building first. Tracy had the feeling that
someone had fallen down the staircase from the 1st floor leading
to the 2nd floor and was lingering because of that. We investigated
the 2nd and 3rd floors not picking up any thing except a dead
end hallway that was very hot and the air was thick. We also
noticed that the hallway was very calm and quiet down. We
called Tracy over to check it out and when he walked down
the hallway he saw a blue flash in the mirror, which had the
same color of electricity arcing.  (Click

We left the hallway and Chris had a intuition that the ghost
in the hotel was a clean-shaven middle-aged man dressed in
a black suit. Eric pointed to an old picture that had a family
in it where one of the men was wearing a black vest and was
clean-shaven. Chris stated that the man he visioned was missing
the jacket but was wearing the same style. (Click
on icon for Chris's description). After
investigating the 2nd and 3rd floor, we went down stairs to
the lobby and spoke with an employee. She stated that there
was a hotel employee named Penny who would see someone come
into her room and feel them sit on her bed. We were unable
to investigate the basement due to the owner was not present.
We left him our information in hopes we can go back and due
more investigating.
About
the picture
The
above picture was given to us by a co-worker Shaylene . Her families'
construction business was the crew that renovated the Enders Hotel
in Soda Springs, ID. While taking pictures of pre-renovation for
her grandfather, she took the above picture. There was no electricity
in the basement so she had a worker shine a flashlight to illuminate
the room while she took a picture. The flash on the camera illuminated
the whole area. We had the picture blown-up and also a negative
produced so you can see the different aspects. The orange spot
on the wall appears to be a skeleton like face of a man with facial
features and hair line. This may be the individual that Chris
describes in the investigation notes and on the sound bite.
Investigation
notes of the picture
At
first we thought the orange spot on the wall was from the flashlight
beam. We have conducted tests from different ranges and in each
case the flashlight is washed out by the camera flash.
