It was only fitting that ‘strange noises’ were heard in the streets of downtown Montreal on Halloween.
Reddit user INDIGO, posted a video to Streamable, claiming the noises sounded like “a mix between a fire alarm, cars screeching, and aliens from a sci-fi movie.” The apparent haunting was recorded on the corner of Guy and Fort Street.
Fortunately, we’re not part of a new Cloverfield movie. It’s actually the sounds of trenchless pipe lining which the City of Montreal sent out an advisory for, a couple days earlier.
Sensible sure, but a Halloween haunting would have been more fitting.
Montreal Redditors had their own theories of what the eerie sounds were all about:
Nice try, Montreal. We know the sounds of ghost whales and thousands of balloons when we hear them, especially on Halloween.
