DTCP 034 - Old Montreal Hauntings

Send us a text, tell us your canadian creepy!In this episode of Down the Crooked Path, Amanda Joy explores the lingering shadows hidden within one of Canada’s oldest historic districts, where centuries of history have left more than stories behind.With more than 500 documented hauntings tied to the area, this episode focuses on three locations where tragedy, mystery, and memory appear to overlap. From a historic mansion said to be watched over by restless spirits, to a former religious site marked by loss and secrets beneath its foundations, to an institution connected to some of the most disturbing psychological experiments of the twentieth century, each place carries a past that refuses to stay quiet.Blending documented history with enduring folklore, Amanda examines how trauma, belief, and place intertwine and why some locations continue to draw reports long after their doors have closed.Step carefully. Some histories do not remain in the past.🌱 PayYourRent.ca is an Indigenous-led grassroots initiative calling on settlers to engage in ongoing, voluntary financial redistribution in support of Indigenous land defenders, sovereignty, and community well-being.This foundation supports urgent needs like housing, food security, legal defense, and cultural revitalization—all grounded in the principle that land back also means resource back.If you live, work, or benefit from life on stolen land, consider learning more or making a monthly contribution at PayYourRent.ca.Justice isn’t a moment—it’s a commitment. Your next creepy obsession starts here. ✨ This episode is brought to you by Fable & Frame Creative ✨Fable & Frame Creative offers Niagara Region portraits and at-home newborn sessions, capturing not just how life looks — but how it feels.
