Mercedes Yaeger, of Market Ghost Tour, has been a tour guide in Seattle for the past ten years and has crafted the tours to be entertaining and educational.
We looked up and saw -- really saw -- the windows above the market. And unlocked by stories of listless ghosts, hotel murderers and bodies floating down the Sound, we pictured figures in those windows. We wondered who they were. Monica Guzman, Seattle PI
"Mercedes captured our attention from the beginning with her sparkling personality and her magical storytelling abilities. Emphasizing every stories' vivid details, our imaginations conjured up visions of what the Market and the people of the past would have looked like and experienced. Mercedes guided us effortlessly from one area to the next, leaving us wondering if there is any other spot in Seattle as haunted as the Market....Oh, and my children swear they saw a ghost on the last stop of the tour -- they talk about it even now, nearly a year later" Seattle resident, Sunshine Everskull
