Highlights

Do you believe in the paranormal? Hosted by professional ghost hunter Dominique Desormeaux of Investigations 13, Haunted Montreal’s “Paranormal Investigation: Colonial Old Montreal” takes guests on a dark adventure into the mysterious world of ghost hunting. Founded in 1642, the Ville-Marie Colony has seen countless public executions, torture, wars, beheadings, people burned alive, murders, and other horrific acts. Numerous unsettled spirits were created both during the religious paranoia of the New France Era and the bureaucratic brutality of the British Regime, which took over in 1760. Guests will learn strategies and techniques to locate and communicate with spirits. Ghost-hunting tools such as Dowsing Rods, EMF Readers, Temperature Guns, and other devices will be made available to reach out to the many deranged spirits that haunt present-day Old Montreal.

About Montreal

Montreal is a French-speaking island city on the St Lawrence River, with a cobbled old port, a mountain park and a lively food and festival scene.

Montreal stands on an island in the St Lawrence River, rising to Mount Royal, the wooded hill from which it takes its name. Old Montreal has cobbled streets, stone warehouses and Notre-Dame Basilica, whose deep-blue vaulted interior is covered in gold stars. Frederick Law Olmsted, designer of New York's Central Park, laid out the park on the mountain, and a lookout over the downtown towers sits near its top.

Top-ranked sights in Montreal: Old Montreal (Vieux-Montréal), Notre-Dame Basilica of Montreal (Basilique Notre-Dame de Montréal), Bonsecours Market (Marché Bonsecours).
