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.
