Between
1903 to 1923, the Butterworth & Sons mortuary was described as,
“The city’s first place for comprehensive death-related services from
corpse retrieval to coffin sales.” In other words, it was the Walmart of
death.
Today it's Kells Irish Restaurant & Pub in Seattle, Washington.
As
the mortuary, it was no stranger to handling tragic and sometimes
violent deaths, many of the bodies they prepared were victims of mining
accidents, drownings, diphtheria, horrible sanitation, and of course the
everyday violence of early 1900s Seattle. So after 20 years of death,
it’s no surprise that the building has developed quite the paranormal
reputation.
As soon as the restaurant opened, owners, staff, and
patrons began experiencing strange, unexplainable things that, over the
years, have become a daily occurrence. It’s not uncommon for glasses to
slide across the bar and smash onto the floor, or for guests to hear
mysterious footsteps and see dark shadows from the corner of the room.
Another
famous spirit is a little girl, often spotted sitting quietly at the top
of a staircase. No one know who or what she’s waiting for, and when you
turn to ask she’s it's already too late because she's gone.
