Spooky Facts #shorts: McGill Faculty Club

McTavish Street on McGill's campus is the second most haunted street in Montreal, with three haunted buildings: Duggan House, McLennan Library, and the McGill University Faculty Club. The opulent Faculty Club, designed in 1886 by Baron Alfred von Baumgarten, is rumored to be haunted by ghosts. Baron Baumgarten, a wealthy German sugar tycoon, faced hardships during World War I due to anti-German sentiment. After his death in 1919, his widow continued to live in the mansion until McGill University purchased it. The Faculty Club is known for strange occurrences, including a piano playing on its own, doors slamming, eerie portraits, and reports of the ghost of Baron von Baumgarten. Paranormal experiences, unexplained phone calls, and a frightening presence add to the haunted atmosphere, attracting attention and fueling ghostly tales.
