Ghosts on campus

Stories of haunted buildings on campus are common. In the 1970's the Astronomy Department at Western was supposed to be in ghost infested quarters -- I always thought that silly -- the ghosts of times past lingered more in Huron College!!!

Seriously, though, the story of a woman killed at U of T is tragic. Common though it is, the urban explorer phenomenon is not a safe concept. There are reasons why the public is not allowed into certain areas of otherwise public places. Sadly the deceased learned that lesson.

Woman falls to death while 'ghost-hunting' in T.O.

A woman has fallen to her death after attempting to jump across a gap in the roof of a historic, Gothic-style building at the University of Toronto while out on a first date.

Leah Kubic, 29, fell three or four storeys after a wire support gave out on the roof, Toronto police spokesperson Const. Tony Vella told ctvtoronto.ca.

Kubic, whose 30th birthday was only a few weeks away, was taken to a downtown hospital where she was pronounced dead.
