Guest Date Night Blog Post! Halloween Date Ideas!

Hola Seattle Date Night! readers – my name is Jeanna (otherwise known as Je). I’m a Seattle city resident and face behind two blogs, a date blog I write with my boyfriend, Mike, called Caviar & Campfires (we focus on camping, wine and restaurants reviews) and my personal blog, That’s What Je Said.

I stumbled across Seattle Date Night! many months ago and realized Mandy and I have a lot in common –not only do we both write blogs around dates with our honey, but we both live in Queen Anne! So, I was honored when Mandy asked me to write a guest post while her honey was away.

Just like Brett, Mike and I are HUGE fans of ghosts – we rent every haunted house movie out there and regularly watch Paranormal State. (OMG. Have you seen that show. So spooky!). So I'm here to bring you Seattle's Spooky Halloween Date Nights... du, du, du, dum.

Brett and Mandy wrote about the Pike Place Market Ghost Tour they went on at the end of September. Mike and I were stoked to check it out! But the night we wanted to go last week was sold out (it’s super popular near Halloween, so buy your tickets early), so we researched and discovered there are three ghost tours in Seattle!

1. The Market ghost tours
2. Spooked in Seattle tours
3. Private Eye tours

After quick research, we decided to buy tickets to the three-hour Private Eye Tour, which is a tour of a lot of Seattle's ghostly hauntings in a big white rapist ghost van. Jake, the ghostly tour guide, is a Seattle native and lover of all things ghost. She's researched and visited a lot of the haunted places in Seattle herself and gives a most excellent tour. Worth every bit of the $25! You can see details of the ghost tour in a Whrrl story I did... FYI: I give some of the details of the tour away, but not all:

If you're not scared stiff after the ghost tour, you can plan a trip to see Paranormal State - one of the spookiest movies I've seen in a long time! Sorta along the lines of The Blair Witch Project, it's a series of homemade movies from a couple whose home is haunted. They set a camera up in their home at night to catch activity while they were asleep, and it's so scary, we both were covering our eyes by the end of the movie! (Don't tell Mike I told you that. I don't want to compromise his manliness on the entire Worldwide Interwebs). We both left the theater and agreed we needed to watch a cartoon or something!

Or - if Paranormal State isn't your cup of tea, how about viewing a movie in one of Seattle's oldest and most haunted theaters - The Harvard Exit Theatre?! But be careful ladies - rumor has it there's been sightings of a woman, hanging from a rope in the upstairs bathroom!

All very spoooky options! Happy Dating (and Halloween) Seattlelites!
