12 Creepiest Ghost Towns In Quebec You Should NEVER Stop In While Driving

Quebec hides a haunted geography most travelers never see — a province scarred by collapsed resource towns, drowned river settlements, and communities swallowed whole by the boreal forest.

This is the hidden map of a province that built its identity on industry and paid for it in ghost towns. Fifteen places where the drive through is fine — but you don't want to stop.
