Idaho Falls, Idaho · Cemetery
The child of Ammon Cemetery is a friendly-looking figure in the HauntedPlaces.org account, seen climbing a tree near a grave and waving to people passing by. Reports differ about whether the apparition is a boy or girl. The climbing tree and greeting gesture are the consistent details of the cemetery legend.
Pocatello, Idaho · Other
HauntedPlaces.org records a simple, specific Ammon Park story: a young girl's ghost, wearing a blue dress, appears on the swings late at night. The apparition seems absorbed in swinging rather than approaching witnesses.
Roberts, Idaho · Other
HauntedPlaces.org records two recurring figures at B.J.'s Bayou: a young girl and an older man who may be wearing a uniform. The stories belong to a building formerly used as a hotel, abandoned after the Teton Flood and later restored as a restaurant. Its reported visitors seem to recall that earlier lodging-house life.
Idaho City, Idaho · Cemetery
HauntedPlaces.org records a local belief that spirits of Idaho City's Gold Rush dead remain around Boot Hill. The cemetery's many unidentified burials figure prominently in the story: those without known names or marked resting places are imagined as lingering among the graves. The published account describes a collective haunting rather than a single named apparition.
Lewiston, Idaho · Other
In a HauntedPlaces.org submission, a former dishwasher named Alexis recalls voices calling employees' names, cold spots in the kitchen and a short-haired woman at the bar after closing. Another repeated incident involved wineglasses appearing on the bar after the previous glass had been cleared, making ordinary cleanup feel as if an unseen customer remained.
Caldwell, Idaho · Cemetery
Canyon Hill's best-known figure in HauntedPlaces.org is the Midnight Jogger. The legend describes a woman running through the cemetery after dark who may approach a parked vehicle and tap on its window. Shadowlands adds an eerie variation: she appears to move without visible legs, gliding rather than making ordinary footfalls.
Pierce, Idaho · Other
According to HauntedPlaces.org, Cedar Inn guests have heard banging and footsteps that seem to have no living source. Some reportedly asked to move rooms because of the disturbance. Local explanations identify the unseen visitors as deceased railroad workers, connecting the noisy nighttime accounts with the inn's earlier accommodation of railway laborers.
Nezperce, Idaho · Hotel
A HauntedPlaces.org account singles out Room 6 for children who appear to play and laugh before vanishing. The blinds reportedly move without help, and footsteps and screams have been heard. Elsewhere in the hotel, witnesses describe piano music, a woman's singing and a dark-haired female figure passing through the corridors.
Sandpoint, Idaho · Cemetery
HauntedPlaces.org describes an elderly woman's apparition in Colburn Cemetery, with reports said to stretch back to the 1920s. The story follows a recurring human figure among the old graves. The published account supplies no name or personal history for her, but identifies the cemetery as the consistent setting of the sightings.
Preston, Idaho · Other
HauntedPlaces.org reports employees encountering odd electrical behavior at the Preston Deseret Industries store. Lights, the time clock and the intercom feature in the accounts, along with unexplained ringing bells. The store's haunting reputation rests on these workplace disturbances rather than on a named spirit or a recurring full-bodied apparition.
Idaho City, Idaho · Other
HauntedPlaces.org describes a female apparition appearing to employees and customers at Donna's Place, an Idaho City memorabilia shop. The most distinctive part of its story is a reportedly responsive presence: questions are answered with knocks on the walls. No individual identity is supplied for the woman in the published account.
Boise, Idaho · Cemetery
HauntedPlaces.org collects a Dry Creek Cemetery legend about an unseen horse running beside the canal. The story locates its hoofbeats near the cemetery edge and gives the encounter an unusually specific nighttime hour, after 2:15 a.m. The horse is heard rather than seen, leaving only the sound of its passing.
Boise, Idaho · Theater
HauntedPlaces.org identifies the Egyptian's ghost as Joe, a longtime projectionist said to have died while climbing toward the booth. His continued rounds are marked by unexplained noises, doors moving and lights switching themselves on or off. The story keeps his presence connected to the working spaces of the theater he once served.
Soda Springs, Idaho · Hotel
HauntedPlaces.org records sightings of a male figure at the Enders Hotel, with the basement drawing the strongest haunting reputation. Local explanations differ: some connect him to a shooting, others to a fatal fall on the stairs. The enduring feature is the reported presence below the hotel, rather than one consistently identified spirit.
Athol, Idaho · Other
HauntedPlaces.org reports a full-bodied apparition in Farragut's former brig, described as wearing some kind of uniform. Objects have also reportedly moved inside the cells without anyone touching them. The sightings center on the surviving jail building of the old naval training station, rather than the whole surrounding state park.
Boise, Idaho · Cemetery
HauntedPlaces.org associates the cemetery with apparitions of children and an adult woman. The woman's reported appearances extend to a nearby school. Local ghost stories link these figures with the old burial ground and its unidentified graves, giving the accounts a recurring cast rather than a single named cemetery ghost.
Pocatello, Idaho · Other
Frazier Hall's theatrical folklore includes a resident spirit called Alex, according to HauntedPlaces.org. Witnesses describe figures among the audience, phantom musicians at a piano and footsteps traveling through the fourth-floor corridor. The reported encounters span both performance spaces and the quieter halls of Idaho State University's speech and theater building.
Gooding, Idaho · Other
HauntedPlaces.org describes an elderly man in a white coat and a woman accompanied by a young girl at this former tuberculosis facility. Witnesses also heard whispers and footsteps in otherwise empty corridors. The stories carried into the building's lodging-house period, linking the old institutional halls with visitors who seemed to belong to an earlier life.
Nampa, Idaho · Other
The Gots Point legend collected by HauntedPlaces.org centers on a girl said to have drowned while waterskiing in the 1970s. Witnesses describe a solitary figure sitting on shoreline rocks and looking across Lake Lowell. When someone approaches, the figure reportedly disappears, leaving the watching girl as the point's recurring ghost story.
Grangeville, Idaho · Hotel
HauntedPlaces.org contributor Callum Swift recounts odd events in rooms at the Grand Brick Guesthouse. Guests reportedly found showers and faucets operating without anyone turning them on, while quarters appeared unexpectedly. The story emphasizes these small physical disturbances around the accommodation rather than an apparition with a known identity.
Soda Springs, Idaho · Other
HauntedPlaces.org describes a ghostly figure crossing a bridge at Hooper Springs Park and swings that seem to be used by invisible children. The account places both experiences among the park's familiar recreation features. The movement of the swings and the solitary figure on the bridge form its two recurring supernatural images.
Oakley, Idaho · Theater
According to a HauntedPlaces.org contributor, Howells Opera House has two regular ghostly characters. A woman reportedly appears during performances and onstage at rehearsals.

Boise, Idaho · Other
A HauntedPlaces.org contributor describes a phantom bellman glimpsed around corners and blamed for an elevator moving on its own.

Wallace, Idaho · Other
HauntedPlaces.org contributor Callum Swift describes Maggie as an unusually affectionate ghost, offering unseen hugs and reassuring pats. A mischievous male spirit called Ollie is also reported.
