If you’ve explored Seattle’s Pike Place Market, you’ve probably seen signs for Kells Irish Restaurant & Pub, which is located in the Post Alley. You may have even enjoyed a pint and some Irish Pub Stew. But what many Washingtonians aren’t aware of is the fact that this place used to be a mortuary… and, yes, it’s haunted.
In the early 1900s, this was the Butterworth & Sons Mortuary.
The pub entrance was an entrance for delivering bodies. Workers would put the bodies into an elevator and take them to the third floor to process them for burial.
