Pioneer Square’s red-bricked Bostonian facade masks one of the city’s most ghost-ridden areas. People report encountering ghosts here all the time. It probably has something to do with the Great Fire of 1889, which destroyed Seattle’s whole business district. When the city rebuilt itself after the fire, it built on top of this old city, creating a spooky basement of preserved history. Owl N’ Thistle rests inside this underground.

Ghosts have tickled the keys of the bar’s piano—allegedly. An employee says they once ran into a ghost while waiting in line for the bathroom. There are strange sounds. Kitchenware moving on its own. All of that goes down here. The place is actually very cozy, with warmly lit stained glass light fixtures and shelves lined with leather-bound tomes. Start your hair-raising evening here with a pile of fish n’ chips and a game or two of free pool, all while keeping your head on a swivel for spirit activity.

Tonight’s last stop is the most haunted place in Seattle: Kells Irish Restaurant and Pub, which started as a mortuary in the early 1900s. The entrance to the restaurant is the same entrance the mortuary used to bring in the corpses. Bodies killed by plague, mining accidents, and Dr. Linda Hazzard came through those doors. Now, maybe they’re the ghosts who haunt the place. 

Just a stone’s throw from the Can Can, Kells sits in Post Alley above Pike Place Market. Ghost Adventures host Zak Bagans, who visited Kells in 2015 for the episode “Demons in Seattle,” said, “There’s a lot going on in Kells.” Bagans and his team poked around the restaurant and its basement, looking for orbs and spirits. “This place just has death written all over it,” Bagans said. According to employees, ghostly activity happens all the time. Glasses move across the bar on their own. Peoeple says they’ve seen the ghost of a little girl in a red dress. Bagans thought he caught a picture of the girl on video during his ghost-hunting visit, but it just looked like a shadow.

Maybe you can find the truth about this ghost girl. Debate her existence over Irish Coffee and some traditional soda bread.
