Market Ghost Tours

A woman is heard and occasionally seen in the InterUrban Building at 2nd and Yesler. This building was once home to the Yokohama Medical Clinic, a bogus clinic in the early 1900's run by Violet McNeil and her boyfriend. They would stand on the corner of 2nd and Yesler and offer free medical examinations to passerbys. They dressed in Japanese attire and offered Eastern medicine at their clinic. Their cures were salves and tinctures that masked true illnesses. At that time it was thought that medicine had to taste bad or cause discomfort when used, so their ingredients included strong astringents like cayenne pepper.
