Seattle Underground
After the Great Seattle Fire of 6 June 1889 the city raised its streets by up to two storeys, leaving the old shopfronts and pavements underground.

The account
The passages were condemned in 1907. Bill Speidel began public tours in 1965, and later night tours have made them a haunted landmark.
The sceptical view
Ghost tours depend on darkness and story-telling; no documented event backs the claimed ghosts.
