Show Notes
Pike Place Market is one of Seattle's most recognizable landmarks, but beneath the flying fish and crowded produce stalls is a maze of old corridors, sealed rooms, forgotten businesses, and more than a century of folklore. Workers have reported seeing the apparition of Princess Angeline climbing stairs that didn't exist during her lifetime. A former mortuary beneath Post Alley became associated with tales of unexplained figures and strange activity. And deep in the Market's Down Under, a bead shop claimed something was stealing its inventory—until its owners broke through a wall and discovered a room that had supposedly been sealed for decades.
Tonight, we descend beneath Pike Place Market and explore the ghosts and legends said to inhabit one of Seattle's oldest institutions.
