Ghost Adventures

This is the first page of my ghost adventures album I'm starting on. My Mom & I went on the Market Ghost Tour in Seattle's Pike Place Market. The journaling is kind of long, but is is an overview about this tour and another tour we took 2 months later at a haunted house that was once owned by one of Seattle's first serial killers who was a woman. I had a lot of fun making this page as I've done mostly wedding LO's all year. Needed the change up!

Thanks for looking! And in case you are interested the journaling reads:

One summer night… on May 28, 2011@ 9:00pm

Mom & I went to Pike Place Market in Seattle to take the Market Ghost Tour. It was really fun, the sun was setting and we got to walk around Pike Place Market after hours. The shops were all closed; the vendors, tourists and locals were mostly gone. A few stragglers were still wandering the cobblestone streets looking for some night life action, Nonetheless, for the most part; we had the empty quiet market to explore..

The tour guide was telling fascinating stories of the history of some of the nearby buildings and of the market. More stories of the locals from a century earlier followed... along with some tall tales of ghostly apparitions that have been spotted & reported by people witnessing these spirits. Speculations on why these restless souls could be still hanging around to this very day were also shared.

One of the stories told on the tour included the fact that of one of Seattle's first serial killers was a woman! Her name was Dr. Linda Hazzard and although she wasn't a real doctor with a medical degree, she was in fact given a license to practice some sort of natural healing methods. She claimed to be a "fasting specialist" that could cure any physical or mental disease through her fasting cure. She is believed to have starved about 40 of her patients, and in 1911 she was convicted and sentenced to 18 months in prison. Only to be let out to continue her mad practice.

On the Market Ghost Tour we saw the Butterworth's Mortuary where Linda Hazzard received kickbacks for all the bodies she brought there.

I know… twisted; Right? It was a fascinating tour and at the end we even bought an autographed copy of a book called “Starvation Heights” written by author, Gregg Olsen.

A short time later; within a week or so from when Mom & I went on the Market Ghost Tour, I learned that there was going to be a one-time only tour at the home of Dr. Hazzard where her victims died of starvation & her home is reportedly haunted. The paranormal group Washington State Paranormal Investigations and research team known as “W.S.P.I.R” have done some investigations at the home of Dr. Linda Hazzard.

This tour was called “The Last Gasp Tour” to benefit the Kitsap Library before Dr. Hazzard's house was torn down by the family who currently owns the property.

And These are our…
