Constructed by the French in 1713, the Fortress of Louisbourg was once the largest fortified town in North America and the site of bloody sieges in 1745 and 1758. Rebuilt as a living museum, its ramparts and barracks now draw reports of apparitions of French soldiers, disembodied footsteps on cobbled streets, and sudden cold winds in sealed rooms. Ghost tours and paranormal groups continue to log activity, cementing its reputation as one of Canada’s most haunted historic sites.
