Overview

Montreal like you’ve never experienced it before…

Old Montreal is the city’s most haunted neighborhood. Since colonial times, the area has witnessed countless horrors – brutal colonization, guerilla warfare, unspeakable tragedies, heinous crimes and shocking executions.

These dark episodes ripple through time, leaving deranged legends, haunted history and a plethora of ghosts and paranormal activity.

The Haunted Old Montreal ghost walk visits the Place d’Armes, Rue Saint-Paul, Place Vauquelin, the infamous Chateau Ramezay, and more.

Led by a professional actor and storyteller, this ghost tour is sure to please ghost hunters, history buffs and Hallowe’en lovers with its creepy tales of paranormal activity and the ghostly spirits that haunt Old Montreal.

Content Warning: We do not sugarcoat the history. There are descriptions of murder, suicide, and torture. Parents are advised to take this into consideration when bringing children.
