Seattle Ghost Walks

In recent weeks it has come to my attention that certain parties are using my ghost stories and those of my contributors as references for their own commercial enterprises.  If you or someone you know is writing a book on ghosts in the Pacific Northwest, PLEASE DO NOT!!! copy or use the following stories or any other materials within this website as references.  

Jefferson Davis (25 April 2003)

In the last few years, many people have become interested in the paranormal.  Their interests range from taking on the role of dedicated ghost hunters, to recreational ghost hunting.  The latter usually takes the form or planning vacations around haunted locales, such as hotels and restaurants, and going on ghost walks.  Because I have written on ghostly tourism, I receive emails from many people about where the ghost tours are,  and  how good are they?  It is sometimes difficult for me to keep track of this growing industry, so I am asking for reader's help.  

Below I have links to different ghost walks.  Click on the link and it will take you to pages with more information on each walk.  These descriptions are from the organizations who put the walks on.  I do not necessarily endorse the walk, or what the description says.  This information and the graphics used as icons are the property of the tour owners.  

I hope that readers will contact me and add comments after they take the various walks.  When you comment, try and be precise and to the point.  Please do not use profanity, or I cannot post your emails.  Please suggest other walks that I can add to this section.

Join Sean Young of Seattle Ghost Hunters, a real-life ghost hunter and history enthusiast on a two hour walking tour of some of Capitol Hill's most historic and haunted sites.

Learn about modern ghost hunting theories and techniques as well as the fascinating past of the origins of one of Seattle's most interesting and historically important neighborhoods.  Please note that there are no special effects or costumed characters on this tour.  Any supernatural experiences you may encounter during the tour will be real, not staged.    

A Haunted Firehouse
The morbid history of Volunteer Park
Lakeview Cemetery, originally Seattle's Masonic Cemetery, the resting place of most of Seattle's Pioneers and founders, as well as Bruce and Brandon Lee.
Nighttime walk-through of the GAR cemetery.
The Harvard Exit Theater, which began its life as the Women's Century Club, allegedly haunted by WCC president and Seattle's only female mayor, Bertha Landes, plus several other mischievous spirits!
The Deluxe Grill, a haunted restaurant and the first Post-Prohibition bar in Seattle.

This will be a 2 hour night-time walk covering a few miles, so wear comfortable walking shoes!  Not recommended for very young children due to the length of the walk, unless they are a real sport.  Depending on weather and season, warm dress, umbrellas, and flashlights are also a good idea
