Quebec City Haunted Old Town Self Guided Ghost Tour (opens in a new tab)

1 h 30 min

Quebec City keeps everything: a general's skull in a convent for nearly two centuries, a governor's heart that his wife posted back from France, the old seat of government buried under Dufferin Terrace. This self-guided ghost walk follows what the city kept. The Questo app gives you a paranormal case file on Vieux-Québec that has been open since 1961, and you close it by checking what the dead claim against the record. The route runs from Dufferin Terrace through the Upper Town, past the Ursulines, the old gaol and the basilica, then down to Place Royale and the Breakneck Steps. At each of the 13 stops you solve a puzzle on the spot, from a photo that doesn't quite match the real facade to a question with its letters scrambled, and the app adds the story it unlocks. Some ghost stories survive the check. Others, like the nun of Holy Trinity, fall apart. Allow two hours for the 2 km. It's best after dark, when the terrace lamps come on. Hints and 24/7 support are in the app.
