hello,
just to let you know, you did a mistake regarding the year of death of Montagu Allan, he died in 1951, not 1940. and regarding the Duggan house, George Duggan died in a car accident in st jerome, not in his house. thank you so much for your research its very interesting.

Hi Franco,

Our Haunted Mountain tour visits the area above the alleged children’s cemetery. As for the haunted John Doe Pub, I’d love to hear any more specifics you might have. Please shoot us an email at info@hauntedmontreal.com if you can.

Your approach to ghost stories is a good one! :o)

Hello

I have been receiving your updates for a while. Very interested.I have been planning to take one of your tours with my son since a couple of years ago but I had to postpone it. Definitely, you can count me in, sooner or later,( probably more soon than later, though, since I am 76.).
I already knew the Allen Memorial ‘s somber story..Fascinating and at the same time deeply troubling , if we think of the victims..
Will it be included in any of the forthcoming visits this month? I really hope so.
I assume it will be just just a guided walk-by, because visiting the premises, however interesting and highly evocative it may be, might not be an option.
Another point of interest would be the John Doe Pub. I have been hearing stories about this location for many years, including witness accounts of spooky ( and untoward contacts..) in the rest-rooms. May be when it will be reopened it would be interested to have a chat with the owner.
Frankly, on a 0 to 10 belief scale, (0 being total skepticism and 10 being total belief) , I am perhaps at 4,at least in terms of POSSIBILITY, because the actual witness accounts may be ( and often are) driven by motivations other than good faith.
In this light, my approach would be the same as I were reading fiction, keeping in the back of my mind that the line between reality and fiction may be blurred or non-existent..

Let me know please

Thanks

Franco Vivona
