"What better way to learn Seattle's history than walking through Pike Market weaving history with tales of ghosts & hauntings. Make sure your camera is fully charged, and take lots of photos. Orbs didn't show up on my photos for several weeks. Don't ask me to explain. My friends are still talking about how much they learned. Stories from store owners, Kells Irish pub, Princess Angelina, and a law that prohibited flower pots above the street level. They could be used as a deadly weapon, and during the Klondike Gold Rush people were getting $50 for each dead body they brought to the mortuary. The Market Ghost Tour is something that shouldn't be missed. I took friends here for my birthday and they are still talking about it! " ~ Maria Mason, Bainbridge Island
"We took the 'Mortuary Tour' with Jim and it was undoubtedly the most active and impressive haunted site I have ever set foot in. I went in as a skeptic but nothing can explain the photos I *personally* took inside the building. There are specific, significant light anomalies that are absolutely unexplainable. Not only was our tour guide informative and engaging- the stories were nothing short of incredible. We were allowed to investigate and take pictures of the site itself and use tools to record EMF, EVP and take as many pictures as possible on our own personal cameras. I cannot emphasize how impressive the experience was and would recommend this to anyone who truly wants to visit a haunted location. Be prepared though- the 'mortuary tour' is absolutely, 300% the real deal. You will feel and see things that are not of this world. Good luck!" - Guy, yelp October 2012
"We loved it! We saw and learned more about the Market and the surrounding area than we'd ever known, and we are now anxious to learn more. In fact, after the tour, we went back to the Butterworth building (where so many restaurants have failed) and stood on the sidewalk and watched and wondered and talked about it. I was so intrigued (I peered through the glass up that staircase for 10 solid mnutes) that I didn't want to leave. That story, as well as all the others, is utterly fascinating." - Jodi 2/20/2011
"Just wanted to say thanks for the free training tour a few weeks ago! We had a great time & it was awesome to finally get to meet you in person. We felt very privileged to be a part of your training tour. What you and your guides do is an amazing art! My daughter and her friend, who are theater/drama kids, discovered a whole new profession they could get into....meaning the story telling and improv aspect:-) So, thanks for allowing them to learn!" - Diana
"We came for my daughter's 13th birthday...she loved it & we all had such a good time - funny, witty, full of information. I am sure you put everything you have in to every tour you give. Thank you again." - Emily 2/9/2011
"My friend and I took a tour tonight and had the time of our lives. We are both elevator operators at the Space Needle and so seek out as many gritty, delicious Seattle facts as we can get our grubby paws on; this tour absolutely fit the bill, and our guide, Chuck, was a (charming) wealth of useful information. Thanks so much for a fantastic tour experience" - Linnea January 6, 2011
" Penny was great, enjoyed myself so much it will be on my "things to do when the friends and relatives come to visit!" Tell Penny we loved her energy and ability to talk! " - Kris S. 4/16/2010
"Ghosts AND Lust?!? Score!!... well, not literally because we didn't make out with any ghosts... but we did learn some of Seattle dirty little secrets! A good amount of history (but the kind I like to pay attention to) with some lusty and ghostly stories mixed in. Good good fun!... and don't sit on the railings at Pike's Market... just sayin'..." - Erin, yelp.com review 9/12/2010
"My Husband and I enjoyed the Ghost tour we went on last night at 7. Penny was a great tour guide. She was funny, witty, and helped you experience Seattle and it's history like never before. So, Thank you Penny. This has been very exciting for me. I have captured orbs around my home, but as much as I tried during other ghost tours this was the first time I have been able to capture them anywhere else. This was very exciting for me. So Thank you again for this wonderful experience." - Crystal 6/26/2011
"This is a great walking tour around Pike Place Market. At its heart is the history, often sordid, of the early days of Seattle. The tour presentation is well researched and the stories are really interesting. It's a spooky tour because of hearing of the sad and horrible things that have happened there over the years. This is not a jump-out-and-scream-boo kind of scary tour. Highly recommended for tourists and for Seattle natives alike." - Fort 4/17/2011

"As a ghost geek and history buff, the Pike Market Ghost Tour was exactly what I hoped for. Chuck, our host, had great stories of the area around the market and old Seattle. The ghost stories weren't lame, or for cheap shivers. We went @ five when the market was just closing and it was still light. I would imagine it has a different affect after dark when all of the vendors are gone. This tour is a must! Worth the price!" - Jamie, yelp.com review 6/18/2010
"I just wanted to Thank Heather and Mercedes for the great tour that we had while visiting Seattle. It really made the trip such a great experience to learn all the story's and history of Seattle. We will be back to doing it again when we revisit. Thanks for such a great time." - Henry & Shiloh, November 2, 2010
"Dear seattle ghost tour, my husband gene and i took the tour on october 17th 2010. enjoyed it very much and of course took pics. had the strongest vibe near Kells and old funeral home. loved the tour and want to do it again. it was a blast. " Pam and Gene
"What a GREAT time! Whether or not you believe in ghosts, you will find this experience incredibly interesting. They share the history of some of Seattle's more intriguing places and people (whether you believe those people continue to linger in the market is for you to decide!). Although I walk near the market nearly every day I had no idea! We took our son and some friends on the tour for his 12th birthday and both kids and adults had a blast!" - Brian J, yelp.com review 1/26/2010

"I just wanted to thank you again for the private tour you gave our company on Wednesday nite, it was fabulous, and everyone just loved it! It is still a topic of conversation around here! We are definitely coming back to Seattle and you will see several of us in your tour group again at some time or another. Thank you for making it so entertaining and just a lot of fun!" - Tammy 2008
"I've been meaning to write & Thank You for the fabulous tour of Pike Place Market. We had such a great time. So much history that we didn’t know! And we live here! You made the tour both fun & entertaining and we want to express our gratitude for a truly memorable afternoon." - Tina, Renate & Austin March 2006
