Pike Place Market ghost lore

Pike Place Market (the market's historic complex is commonly given as 85 Pike St) is the subject of numerous ghost stories tied to its long history, including reports of apparitions, phantom footsteps, and unexplained voices in stairwells and back passages. These accounts are frequently included on local ghost tours and in regional media coverage. Historians and skeptics note many such stories are anecdotal or tied to the market's dense, layered history.
