Haunted Mountain Ghost Walking Tour on Mount Royal

On this 1.5-hour ghost tour of Montreal, a theatrical guide, Donovan King, will regale with ghost stories, mysteries, and legends about Mount Royal, including haunted hospitals, abandoned tombs and trails teeming with undead spirits, and all sorts of paranormal activities on the mountain.

Learn about the place of Mount Royal in Montreal’s history and lore, including the legend of the cross, the ghost of l’Esplanade Street, the child-victims of the Alan Memorial Institute’s brainwashing experiments, and the tragic tale of Jack McLean and the Haunted Funicular.

Also, visit Simon McTavish’s forgotten tomb, recently disturbed by archaeologists digging into the mountain where his earthly remains lie. The angry fur baron’s ghost is known to terrify people by tobogganing at high speeds down the slopes of the mountain — in his own coffin.

Haunted Mountain aims to satisfy a taste for local history, spine-tingling ghost stories, and an unforgettable ramble on the slopes of Mount Royal!

The Haunted Mountain Ghost Walk begins at the rumoured-to-be-haunted Barfly. It is advised to wear sturdy walking shoes and to bring a flashlight and a camera. The tour is approximately 90 minutes and finishes at the top of Peel Street and Pine Avenue.
