The building at 1234 De La Montagne Street in downtown Montreal has been the subject of paranormal reports that drew the attention of the Canadian television program Creepy Canada. The property, located in the heart of Montreal's business district, has a history that includes use as a private residence, office space, and commercial establishment. The specific nature of the haunting documented by Creepy Canada includes reports of unexplained sounds — footsteps, whispered conversations, and the scraping of furniture — emanating from vacant offices. Workers in the building have described seeing a dark figure in the corridors that seems to move against the flow of people, disappearing when confronted. Some occupants have reported their office equipment behaving erratically, with computers turning on and printers activating without input. The building's downtown Montreal location, in a neighbourhood that has been continuously occupied since the French colonial era, means it sits on land that has witnessed over 400 years of human activity. Montreal's underground city — the extensive network of tunnels beneath the downtown core — adds a subterranean dimension to the city's haunted geography, and some investigators believe the paranormal activity at 1234 De La Montagne may be connected to disturbances beneath the surface.
