The experience

Griffintown wasn't always condominiums. The neighborhood was once a rowdy shantytown that absorbed Irish refugees fleeing the Famine of 1847, survived the Industrial Revolution, and endured Montréal's worst air disaster. A professional actor and storyteller leads you through ninety minutes of that buried history, stopping at the places where the stories stick: mysterious ruins, a polluted canal, former burial grounds, and old buildings locals say are still occupied by something other than the living.

The tour moves through different haunted areas in Griffintown on foot, so you're walking the actual ground where these events happened, not hearing about them from a distance. The guide handles the storytelling. You handle the questions and the creeping sense that some neighborhoods don't let go of their past. Infants and small children can come along in a pram or stroller, and service animals are welcome.

This is the kind of tour that works for ghost hunters who want the real stories, history buffs who know Griffintown's reputation, and anyone who wants to see Montréal from an angle the daytime tours skip. All fees and taxes are included in the price, so there's nothing to settle up at the end.
