What to do and see in Canada, Canada: The Best Ghost & Vampire Tours

September 20, 2021 Giuseppe Pratt

World class skiing, decadent European style cuisine, ornamental cathedrals, peaceful island life…Canada is a patchwork of thriving cities and majestic wilderness. Montreal beckons travelers with its French charm and booming cultural landscape. In Toronto, the Art Gallery of Ontario is a vision of Frank Gehry architecture and national artistic treasures. The gleaming mountain ranges of Banff set a stunning backdrop for an exploration of the Canadian Rockies.

We have used Keith consistently for several months for private transport in Victoria, B.C. & the surrounding areas. Keith is the best. He is quick to reply to booking requests, always punctual, friendly, and goes out of his way to accommodate last minute changes. Keith is our go to guy on Vancouver Island. Kiki Shuffle has resonable rates and I recommend them completely!

My husband and I asked for a custom tour of downtown Calgary and the surrounding country-side. The tour guides arrived promptly, were very hospitable and personable. They reviewed the COVID safety precautions and even provided neck warmers for added protection. They were knowledgeable about the area and the motorcycles, as we asked lots of questions about both! We had a wonderful time exploring in the side car and felt safe and comfortable throughout the whole trip. We would highly recommend this tour company for anyone!

Good storytelling and performance. Learned a different side to my city and some of my old haunts I’ve frequented. I really wanted to go inside some of the haunted sites... Covid-19 measures will not permit it. I will be attending future events for sure so hopefully we can get the full evening experience by the time this pandemic is over.

Griffintown is one of Montreal’s most historic neighborhoods – and one of its most haunted. The area has witnessed everything from dying Irish refugees during the Famine of 1847 to the Industrial Revolution to Montreal’s worst air disaster. Today, condominium towers are sprouting up in the Griff, but new residents are quickly learning that the district was once a rowdy shantytown – and it’s also ghost-ridden! The Haunted Griffintown Ghost Walk visits mysterious ruins, a polluted canal, former burial grounds and creepy old buildings that are said to be haunted. Led by a professional actor and storyteller, this ghost tour is sure to please ghost hunters, history buffs and Hallowe’en lovers with its creepy tales of the spirits and paranormal activity infesting and haunting Griffintown.

Montreal has a lot of haunted drinking establishments to enjoy a few drinks while soaking in the paranormal, from fancy nightclubs, venerable burlesque halls and dive bars to ancient inns, brew-pubs, taverns, emporiums and other drinkeries! Montreal is clearly the best metropolis to mix booze with creepy ghost stories, an ideal place to pour back some libations while pondering the city’s brutal and sordid past and the ghosts that resulted from the worst of crimes and circumstances. While Dublin City, Ireland has around 15 haunted pubs and Savannah, Georgia, “America’s most haunted city”, has around 25 paranormal bars, Montreal has over 40 of these haunted drinking haunts. Led by a professional ghost storyteller, the Haunted Montreal Pub Crawl visits 3 haunted pubs. Guests will not only learn about many of the haunted drinking establishments in the city, but will also hear Montreal’s most infamous ghost stories.
