Learn the deranged story of Marie-Joseph Angélique, a slave woman who was hanged during the New France era for allegedly starting a devastating fire. Despite there being no witnesses, she confessed under torture and was then executed.

Hear about the fires at the Hotel-Dieu Hospital and the ghost of Jeanne Le Ber, a Catholic recluse who frequently self-flagellated.

Visit the site of Montreal’s first British Jail, the infamous Montreal Prison. While today only the cells remain beneath the historic Place Vauquelin, the area experiences a lot of haunted activity.
