The Supernatural in Paris

During WWII, a French woman played a dangerous game. Her husband was in the Resistance, and the woman took a Nazi lover so that she could pass on information to her husband. One night, the woman came to the Pont Marie in Paris, where she had arranged to meet her husband. The man never showed up, and his wife froze to death. Her ghost is supposed to haunt the bridge to this day, eternally waiting for her husband to arrive.

Pere Lachaise Cemetery has enough bodies in it to account for a plethora of ghosts. Among the specters seen there are author Marcel Proust (said to search for his lover every night) and rock star Jim Morrison.

Parc Montsouris is one for the stout of heart. It is said that when the guillotine was first coming into common use, the current park area was used to test the new device. Now, the park may be haunted by the headless ghosts of the first victims of Madame La Guillotine. These gory apparitions are joined by Isaure De Montsouris, the man for whom the park is named. Evidently, he was murdered by bandits, and remains at the site of his untimely death.
