Original research and blogs by Donovan King.

Today, we examine one section of Montreal’s new light rail system, the REM, which is finally operational. The line, passes over the Black Rock Irish Famine Cemetery. Given that the REM desecrated the hallowed ground by removing over a dozen bodies to insert a concrete pylon, many people speculated that the REM would become haunted. It appears to be the case – since its opening, the REM has been plagued with numerous electrical problems and was even struck by lightning!

Holly Rhiannon

Holly Rhiannon is the host of Haunted Montreal, a YouTube channel dedicated to the history and hauntings of Montreal. Since February 2022, she has been bringing ghost stories to life, adapting tales originally shared through the Haunted Montreal walking tours and blog into a video format. The channel also features French versions of these chilling accounts, presented by co-host Dr. Mab.

A lifelong storyteller with a passion for film, Holly’s creative path began with directorial courses in her teens, followed by a photography certification that led her into theatrical live art events. In Winnipeg, she founded Drawn and Plastered, a series of interactive art experiences blending performance and visual media. She first became comfortable in front of the camera through alternative modeling, which she has pursued for over a decade. Her love for cult cinema deepened after a background role as an angel in Troma & Astron-6’s Father’s Day, sparking an appreciation for the b-movie genre.

Through Haunted Montreal, Holly continues to merge her love for film and the supernatural, crafting atmospheric narratives that transport viewers into the city’s haunted past—one ghost story at a time.
