Montreal can be quite dark, quite gloomy, and quite menacing—especially in winter. The green alleys are gray and poorly lit, the neon signs of convenience stores flicker in the icy wind, and the gravel and patches of ice force you to keep your eyes glued to the ground. It’s the perfect time to scare yourself a little—and to chase ghosts…
Ghost stories, paranormal investigations, and Haunted Montreal
The city of Montreal is perfect for scary stories and strange legends because it was created by amelting pot of immigrationand rapid industrialization. Montreal’s “underground city,“ desperately sought after by tourists from around the world, began witha hole blasted in the middle of the business district with no bottom in sight—now known as Place Ville-Marie.
For those who want to explore the spooky side of Montreal, one company offers a one-stop shop for everything haunted, scary, and historically tragic in the city—and it’s called Haunted Montreal.
They are the ones organizing this paranormal investigation for Nuit Blanche, with a real paranormal investigator , ghost hunter Dominique Desormeaux.
The Montreal Art Center, located in a bicentennial factory with an industrial history in the slum of Griffintown… Griffintown isa former working-class neighborhoodin southwest Montreal, on the banks of the Lachine Canal and bordered by the Bonaventure Expressway and Notre-Dame Street. In the 19th century, Griffintown wasa neighborhood inhabited mainly by Irish immigrants who worked on the Victoria Bridge, the Lachine Canal, the railways, and the Port of Montreal.
