Montreal like you’ve never experienced it before… Griffintown is one of Montreal’s most historic neighborhoods – and one of its most haunted. The area has witnessed everything from dying Irish refugees during the Famine of 1847 to the Industrial Revolution to Montreal’s worst air disaster. Today, condominium towers are sprouting up in the Griff, but new residents are quickly learning that the district was once a rowdy shantytown – and it’s also ghost-ridden! The Haunted Griffintown Ghost Walk visits mysterious ruins, a polluted canal, former burial grounds and creepy old buildings that are said to be haunted. 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 the spirits and paranormal activity infesting and haunting Griffintown.

Amazing tour!!! Super informative and entertaining. The tour guide Jason was fantastic. I highly recommend this tour for anymore visiting or returning to Montreal!
Thank you for this awesome review! Jason is fantastic indeed and I will forward this to him! Thanks again!
We had a great experience!! 10/10 would highly recommend!! Our guide was Max. He was knowledgeable, fun, engaging and made the experience a memory we won’t ever forget. We did a private tour for our girls trip and for the money and the individual attention provided it was a great value!! The length of time and walking distance was manageable by all the generations in our group.
Thanks for this great review! I'm so glad Max was a able to provide and unforgettable experience for your girls trip! I will be sure to pass this along to him!
Jason was an incredible guide.
Thanks! I will let Jason know that you thought he did an incredible job, as he usually does!
We bought the tickets spur of the moment and it did not disappoint! The tour guide/actor was great, knowledgeable and passionate! It just so happened that it was the 7 year mark of the appearance of Headless Mary! The tour ended at the corner of William and Murray where a vigil took place. We were able to hear more ghosts stories, have a tarot reading, and even witness an investigation taking place. We will be booking again with Haunted Montreal for another too. Thank you again for the spooky experience!
Thank you or this great review of our Mary Gallagher Day! Much appreciated! We look forward to seeing you again on another tour!

Thanks for this great review! Jason is indeed an excellent guide and I'm glad you had a great time and plan to attend another tour! Cheers!
Very interesting walk through the neighborhood, offering the opportunity to learn more about the history of Montreal via the ghost stories that still haunt the Griff. The stories are well documented, and our guide, Cara, told us with undisguised investment and pleasure, which made the tour very enjoyable and thrilling! The atmosphere of the neighborhood in the evening adds to the experience. Great activity idea for a different historical exploration of Montreal!
Merci beaucoup pour cette excellente critique ! Le Griff est un quartier très hanté, regorgeant de lieux hantés et d'histoires de fantômes. Cara est une excellente guide et je suis ravie que vous ayez autant apprécié sa prestation ! Merci d'avoir participé à deux de nos expériences hantées !
The tour was amazing! Donovan knows all the details about Montreal and the way how he tells the stories is very interesting. He has a lot of passion for what he does and that energy and passion are contagious. I always like to learn about Montreal and I think the best way to know it, is with Haunted Montreal. I really recommend it.
Thank you so much for your kind words and recommendation! I always aim to peel back the layers of history to reveal the dark truths about our city and am really glad you appreciated that!
Yesterday we had a wonderful tour in Griffin town with a great tour guide. donavan is a knowledgeable tour guide, he explained to us the story of every corner of this part of town. The way he tells the stories you travel through time . I can say I was with the Irish people while they were building Griffintown in the 19 century. I look forward for the next tour with Haunted Montreal to discover the rest of Montreal with Donavan.
Thank you so much for this amazing review! It was a real pleasure sharing the dark secrets of Griffintown's history with your group! Here's hoping to see you on another tour in the future!
We had a great evening with Cara our guide! I highly recommend the tour for a fun after-dinner experience. Fun for adults and kids.
Thank you for this wonderful review and recommendation! Cara is a very talented guide and I will be sure to pass this along to her!
A great bit of gruesome fun and local history! A walking tour but our family member using a manual wheelchair was also able to participate the whole way and enjoy some spooky storytelling by our awesome guide Jason.
Thank you for this wonderful review! Haunted Montreal prides itself on being fully accessible on the vast majority of its tours as we value inclusivity. I will be sure to FWD your comments to Jason, a talented guide indeed!
