Notre-Dame-Des-Neiges Cemetery
This national historic site is the biggest cemetery in Canada, with over one million souls resting there – or are they? A nighttime walk among the mausoleums and headstones will be enough to get your spine tingling.

Fort Île Sainte-Hélène
Notorious for being one of Montreal's most haunted landmarks, the Fort was constructed in the 1820s. Apparitions of soldiers who died there reportedly come out at night – visitors may hear footsteps and even voices.

McGill University
No, it's not the blood-curdling screams of undergrads prepping for exams. For years, teachers and students have reported seeing ghosts wandering the halls of McGill; one dashing spirit in a top hat has apparently been haunting the Faculty of Science building.

Pierre Du Calvet House
Built in 1725, the city's oldest historical house is now a charming hotel and restaurant. But it's also said to be haunted, and very distinct presences have been felt – one guest claimed the ghost of a woman sat on her bed all night and kept her awake.
