In Quebec, folklore doesn’t sit quietly in the past. It lingers in cemeteries, convent corridors, mountain trails, waterfalls, and the old stories passed from one generation to the next. Some legends warn. Some remember. Others refuse to die. In this Haunted UK Abroad episode, Steve continues the journey through the ghostly tales and legends of Quebec — a province shaped by survival, faith, conflict, isolation, and centuries of French-Canadian storytelling. The episode begins with the infamous story of Marie-Josephte Corriveau, known as La Corriveau, whose execution in 1763 and posthumous display in an iron cage transformed a real woman into one of Quebec’s most enduring supernatural figures. From there, the episode explores the Loup-Garou, Quebec’s distinctive werewolf legend, alongside the eerie Feu Follet lights, Wendigo folklore, haunted cemeteries, ghostly convents, and the tragic Lady in White of Montmorency Falls. The journey also moves through places where history and the unexplained seem tightly bound together, including Mount Royal Cemetery, Chateau Frontenac, Mount Saint-Hilaire, the Grey Nuns’ Convent, and Montreal’s old Horse Palace. The episode closes with a first-hand account from a listener who worked night shifts in a Quebec City convent in the 1990s, caring for elderly nuns in a building where unseen voices, opened curtains, call bells, singing in empty rooms, and a disturbing story from the convent garden left questions that have never been answered. Atmospheric, folkloric, and deeply rooted in place, this episode blends haunted history, French-Canadian legend, witness testimony, religious tradition, and unexplained encounters into a journey through one of Canada’s most mysterious cultural landscapes.
