No location was chosen
Greetings To All Ghost Hunters,
Our next destination is Griffintown.
We will be heading back in time to a site where a horrific murder took place in 1879. And where the ghost of the victime have lingered ever since. The ghost of Mary Gallagher. Her ghost have been spoted many times.
UPDATE: I have invited 3 psychics to join us(one has confirmed coming i'm waiting for the other 2). So we will not only be visiting the area but we gonna try to make contact too.
Due to the number of people that are very interested in joining us i have decided to open it up for everyone. There will be no reservation limits this time. Everyone can join us.
"Since Mary Gallagher of Griffintown was murdered by jealous rival Susan Kennedy at a house at the corner of William and Murray on June 27, 1879, the chilling presence of Gallagher's troubled ghost has traumatized young souls from the area."

There is also a movie that was made about this ghost. Maybe we could watch the movie somewhere??
Ghosts of Griffintown
"It is perhaps Montreal's favorite ghost story: 'Mary Gallagher, a prostitute, was brutally murdered on June 26, 1879 at 242 William Street in Montreal. Soon after, the residence was besieged by neighbours in this Irish community of Griffintown, curious as to what had happened. Now, each and every seven years, a small group of ex-Griffintowners meet at the corner of William and Murray, also curious, to watch for her ghost.' "

I will let you know in time where we'll be meeting before heading to William street.
But first i wanna thank our good friend and organizer "Aurora" for this great idea. Thank you Aurora :)

Read an interesting article written by Katherine Ramsland about the legend of Mary Gallagher here: http://3.ly/02n![]()
Katherine Ramsland has published twenty-five books. She holds graduate degrees in forensic psychology, clinical psychology, & philosophy. She wrote Prism of the Night: A Biography of Anne Rice. Her background in forensic studies positioned her to assist former FBI profiler John Douglas on his book, The Cases that Haunt Us, and to co-write a book with former FBI profiler, Gregg McCrary, The Unknown Darkness.
I uploaded 2 photos I found about the crime: a sketch of what the original building looked like & the actual parking lot left now in the spot: http://www.meetup.com/ghosts-656/photos/?photoId=10978725...![]()

I can't wait to once again take part in another ghost hunting meeting. This one sounds really interesting and I'll probably have 1 or 2 friends tagging along, one that has possibly already had some ghost encounters before (and possibly has some powers that haven't yet fully developed). Looking forward to this.
Federico...Just a camera is enough, if you have one. If you have an EMF (Electro Magnetic Field) meter then bring it along as well. Some people use an ordinary compass instead of an emf meter. It's not that sensitive but still its better then nothing. It will show you changes in the magnetic field. Tiny compasses are more sensitive then bigger ones by the way. But i think the most important tool is a camera. More cameras digital cameras there are the more chances we have in catching something.
Update: I might have only one friend coming over until around 9.. she finds this meeting really interesting, sadly she has to go to work at 3 AM..
Question: How are we going to get to the place? (by metro/car.. foot? ) and where is the meeting place? Has it already been decided upon?
Hi Heidi..The meeting location will be chosen soon. The closest subway btw is Bonaventure subway station. The Planetarium which is very close to william street is also a couple of minutes away from Bonaventure subway station. So a possible meeting location might be in front of that subway station...We will see.
Hey Patrick just wanted to know since they are annoncing rain that day,will it be rain or shine? obviously shine should be no problem :)
Hey Lisa, well a little bit of water can in no way stop the montreal ghost tracking team..Cmon :)..I aint scared of no water.
We gonna wait and see.
We were freezing quite a bit but hope there will be more meetings like this one in the near future ^^
Tonight would have been organized better if i had more time on my hand. I was out of town for some time and i got back Saturday morning. So not much time was left for me to do anything really.
Thanks for turning my suggestion into a Meetup event, Patrick. :)
Well it was an excellent idea you know :)
I have added some comments to the pictures posted if you all wanna check them out.
About what i said on the right. Judy wasn't picking up info on Mary but on a building that was standing there in the past where horrific events occured. much wrose to what Mary Galagher went through. And judy left to sit in the car(not because of the cold)but because she was blown away by what she saw. So she needed to pull her self away and stop what she was seeing.Another thing she picked up 38 before we arrived and felt another woman in her twenties. Also one of the ladies had blue eyes.
