Set against the backdrop of Québec City's historic streets, Services d'animation Promas Inc. offers a uniquely immersive evening with its "Forfait - Fantôme fouetté". This guided ghost tour weaves through Old Québec’s atmospheric cobblestone lanes, revealing the grim tales of New France’s dark criminal past—murders, trials, and executions that shaped the city’s shadowed legacy. Starting at 44 Chaussée des Écossais, beside the Morrin Centre, you’ll step after dusk into a narrative spun by a theatrical guide embodying voices from centuries past. The chilling stories unfold under the open night sky, inviting a rare look at history’s hidden underside that few outdoor experiences capture.
The journey covers notable historical sites ascending from the Upper Town to the Lower Town along Rue Notre-Dame, concluding at the Fresque des Québécois mural. This route crosses varied terrain, including steep cobblestone streets that echo with centuries of footsteps. Along the way, the haunting ambiance of Québec's stone architecture and period lighting sets a powerful stage for storytelling deeply rooted in local heritage.
What makes this experience stand out is its blend of theatrical history with the warmth of local culture. After the tour, participants are treated to a small hot beverage from Maison Smith on rue Saint-Jean—offering a cozy counterpoint to the eerie tales. This thoughtful partnership adds a comforting pause to an evening that is as much about connection as it is about history.
