Prostitute Slain In 1879 Said To Return Every Seven Years
Many will stake out the corner of William and Murray Sts. late into the night tonight in hopes of catching a glimpse of the legendary Griffintown prostitute, said to return every seven years to where she was murdered on June 27, 1879.
“I don’t expect to see Mary Gallagher, but there are people who claim to have seen her,” said Rev. Thomas McEntee, 81, who marks the spectre’s septennial visits with a commemorative mass near the site. “Seven years ago, when I left the scene at 10 o’clock at night, people stayed there waiting for her to appear.”
