Paranormal Investigations at the Fortress of Louisbourg

Louisbourg & Area

Oct 3 – Oct 5

About

Join us for our annual Paranormal Investigations Weekend. Explore a darker side of the 300-year history of the Fortress of Louisbourg and test the claim that it is one of the most haunted sites in Nova Scotia! 


Louisbourg is laden with a dark history; countless remains lie beneath the soil long forgotten. The stories of the present and past claim that the restless spirits roam and wander through the buildings of the Fortress. Some say the Fortress is haunted; and they search for proof in the dark, while others prefer to leave it a mystery. Guided by candlelight, hear voices from the past tell their stories, but only if you’re brave enough to listen.


You too can be a part of this eerie fun by participating in an evening of guided ghost hunting, at five different locations throughout the Fortress, brought to you by Haunts from the Cape!
