109. Lore & Legends | Hauntings of The Grey Nuns Motherhouse and The Gran Viena Hotel
Two buildings. Two legacies. One shaped by compassion, the other marked by violence. In this episode of Macabrium, we step inside the Grey Nuns Motherhouse in Montreal. Once a convent, now part of a bustling university, it remains heavy with silence and memory. Students and staff have reported ghostly figures in long habits, disembodied footsteps, and the unmistakable sense of being watched. Within these stone walls, the dead seem to linger alongside the living. We then travel across continents to the Gran Viena Hotel in Argentina. Once an opulent retreat, this now-abandoned relic hides more than just dust and decay. Guests have vanished, lights flicker in sealed rooms, and whispers fill the night air. Local lore ties the hotel to fugitives, secrets, and a past too dark to fade quietly.
