Haunted Griffintown

Looking for a different side of Montreal? Griffintown ranks among the city's most historic neighbourhoods, and among its most haunted. This part of town has seen it all: the arrival of Irish refugees during the famine of 1847, the Industrial Revolution, and the worst air disaster Montreal has ever known. Condominium towers keep rising here today, yet newcomers are well aware that the area was once a noisy slum where ghosts were a common sight. The haunted Griffintown walk takes in mysterious ruins, a polluted canal, old cemeteries and eerie buildings said to be haunted. Guided by a professional actor who is also a storyteller, it appeals equally to ghost hunters, history lovers and Halloween enthusiasts, through spine-chilling tales of the spirits and paranormal activity that keep Griffintown alive.
