at the Market 1410 Post Alley Market Ghost Tour - (Wed-Sun 5 and 7, 9 Sat & Sun) $19/$17 Sr or $62 for 4 people Explore the Pike Place Market on this 75 minute exterior walking tour through the district. In the Market stands the city's first mortuary, part of an old graveyard, and a brothel that still has a red glow cast on its side. Seattle went through major topographical change spanning 30 years after the Great fire in 1889. More earth was moved in the Seattle regrade than in the digging of the Panama Canal. Some believe that it is the movement of earth, roads, structures, and graves that create Seattle's many ghost stories. This tour provides an alternate look at Seattle's unique history. The Pike Place Market has been voted the most haunted location in the northwest. Learn why by joining us on this night time tour. The skeptic and the believer can enjoy this historical tour. While we have been involved in paranormal research in the area, this tour is not a ghost hunt. We root our stories in history and the tradition of storytelling. The northwest's true history can be more frightening than any ghost story. At 5:00, the Market is open and we travel through the Arcades. At 7:00 & 9:00 the Market is closed and the tour is an exterior tour. We take advantage of the nooks and crannies and travel Post Alley to share the stories. The Chapel Tour/Investigate- (Thurs-Sat 7:30 p.m.) $22.00When the Ghost Tour first started the restaurant, Avenue One, was open at 1921 First Avenue in the Butterworth Mortuary. One afternoon customers sitting at the bar watched in horror as bottles of wine flew on their volition across the room. The space had housed Cafe Sophie as well. Stories about the old Sophie are legendary. Several other restaurants all opened at 1921 and struggled to stay alive. The space has been empty since 2007, fueling rumors that it is one of the most haunted locations in the NW. Now a new restaurant is under construction. The ornate balconies are being restored, the original mouldings repaired. We have been unable to go inside for years, but now we do on this special tour thanks to Kells Irish Pub. Kells is an incredible bar with great beer, music and soccer on the big screen. It is also in the lower two levels of the Mortuary. Kells has been the subject of numerous TV shows including Ghost Adventures and My Ghost Story. Want to spend some time in Seattle's famous haunted mortuary? See the Chapel in its raw form? This is the tour for you. We will be giving a modified Market Ghost Tour and spending time inside the Chapel. You will participate in an EVP session once inside the building. The unedited session will be posted on our facebook page one week after the tour, if there are no problems with the audio file. You are welcome to bring your audio recorders with you on this tour. |
