Hyun Bin is her co-star in the film set in Seattle.

The title of this post is from an article in the Seattle Times by Nicole Tsong. It begins with, "The list of locations for the movie "Late Autumn" is low-key, local and a little bit surprising. This star-studded Korean-U.S. film may be a love story set in Seattle, but it ignores the predictable, sweeping drama of the Space Needle for the faded Fun Forest below."

Included in the film is the Market Ghost Tour and our guide, Penny Truitt. Penny spent the better part of a week filming on location in the Pike Place Market, dressed in a black gothic costume and giving the ghost tour to the main characters. The article in the Times talks about the love affair the film makers had with Seattle and their choices of locations for the film. This is sure to be a visually beautiful film, showing parts of Seattle that locals love, like Ballard and the Market. A scout for the film went on the ghost tour a while ago. We then got a call asking if asking if our guides would audition for the film, Penny did, and it was a great experience. Congratulations Penny! We are very excited that Penny and the tours are included.

There are THREE ghost tours in Seattle. Market Ghost Tours began informally over 20 years ago on Halloween night. Now it is offered every weekend of the year. Seattle is not unique in its many stories of ghosts, every city shares stories. Seattle is unique however in that it went through major urban renewal for 30 years after the Great fire in 1889. Some believe that it is the movement of earth, structures and graves that create Seattle’s many stories.  

The Market Ghost Tours were started by Michael Yaeger (the Mayor of Pike Place Market) and Sheila Lyon (Market Magic Shop). Michael's daughter, Mercedes has researched each ghost story, relying heavily on Municipal Archives, photographs and newspaper accounts of past events. 

Each ghost tour company in Seattle offers very different tours. Michele and Mercedes learned, while traveling in the South this March, that Seattle actually has far less ghost tour companies than other cities. Savannah blew our minds with how many tours offer ghost stories - and we went on as many as possible. We went on tours in Savannah, St Augustine and New Orleans - all high on the list of haunted places in the US. Yes, we learned a lot, especially how to run a great tour company.
