About this experience
Do you believe in the paranormal? 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. Numerous unsettled spirits were created both during the religious paranoia of the New France Era and the bureaucratic brutality of the British Regime, which took over in 1760. Guests will learn strategies and techniques to locate and communicate with spirits. Ghost-hunting tools such as Dowsing Rods, EMF Readers, Temperature Guns, and other devices will be made available to reach out to the many deranged spirits that haunt present-day Old Montreal.

Paranormal investigation and walking tour
If you are interested in the paranormal and would like to visit some haunted sites in Old Montreal, I would recommend this tour. Dominique is a terrific guide and he gave us a hybrid of a walking tour with some historic facts about haunted sites and also, we were able to use some equipment to detect spirits and hear ghosts that were trying to communicate with us. My wife and I had a very fun evening and it definitely sparked an even greater interesting in pursuing more ghost adventures.
Response from the operator: Thank you for this amazing review! Dominique is probably Montreal's most experienced paranormal investigator and also offers an investigation of the Saint-Antoine Cholera Cemetery if you are looking for similar experiences! I will be sure to FWD your review to him!

Why this scores 53
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Colonial Old Montreal Paranormal Investigation: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Montreal.
How much does Colonial Old Montreal Paranormal Investigation cost?
+
Prices start at $35 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Montreal usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Colonial Old Montreal Paranormal Investigation take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Montreal is not rushed.
Is Colonial Old Montreal Paranormal Investigation worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Montreal, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Colonial Old Montreal Paranormal Investigation?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Colonial Old Montreal Paranormal Investigation suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 10. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 1-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Colonial Old Montreal Paranormal Investigation?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Montreal can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Montreal and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Colonial Old Montreal Paranormal Investigation start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Montreal within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Montreal?
+
On Outty we rank every Montreal experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Essential 101 Non-Touristy Walking Tour by Spade & Palacio, Old Montreal Walking Tour | Small Group (Max 10) | by MTL Detours, The Full-Day small-group comprehensive tour of Montreal. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Montreal?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Montreal?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
