Griffintown in Montreal, Canada, covers the south western district of downtown Montreal.

The land was originally owned by Mary Griffin who signed commissions for subdivisions of neighbourhoods and set about installing promising plans for the area.

By 1884 over thirteen hundred people settled here including Irish, Italian and Ukranian populations who worked as laborers on the local canals. Many arrived on ships and died of typhoid en route.

Marys husband, Robert Griffin, was a local soap manufacturer who went on to become the first Clerk to the Bank of Montreal.

Tragically, in 1879, Marys body was discovered, her head and one of her hands had been chopped off but were later discovered in the bathtub. Two men were arrested for her murder, one serving sixteen years in prison.

In 1944 Royal Airforce flight Liberator B6 horrifically crashed downtown causing a devastating fire. All crew members died instantly as well as many on the ground civilians.

In 1962 many of the towns original buildings were demolished and in 1971 the population had significantly decreased to just over 800 inhabitants.

Dark apparitions are often seen visibly stumbling through streets, otherworldy night fog and disembodied voices heard echoing from empty alleyways have all been encountered here.

In 1859 the Black Rock Monument was installed in the town square in remembrance of the Irish famines when local construction teams unearthed human bones here. This monument is said to feel unnaturally hot to the touch, many believe this monument holds the spirits of all those who died here.

Visitors to Griffintown today often report being unexplainably grabbed and pushed by things unseen.

This place seems doomed by ill fate.

Is Griffintown somehow lashing out at the dark past?

Could this place be actively cursed?
