A woman fell to her death Ghost Hunting
TORONTO — “The death of a woman who may have been looking for ghosts in a Gothic-style building where a professor was murdered several years ago is a tragedy that should serve as a warning to all thrill seekers, a paranormal investigator said Thursday,” reports Colin Perkel for the Canadian Press.
“Police were called after the 29-year-old woman fell several storeys during the early hours at the University of Toronto building,” reports Perkel.
“The general public has a lot of misperceptions,” said Sue Durroch, co-founder of the Toronto Ghosts and Hauntings Research Society. “Because of the Hollywood-ization of ghost stories and fictional ghost stories, people get these impressions that a spooky looking building must be haunted or if there’s a tragedy associated with it, it must be haunted. Of course, that’s absolutely incorrect.”
“Early in the day, Toronto police Sgt. Dave Vickers was reported as saying the woman and a 34-year-old male friend were in the building because they thought it was haunted,” reports Perkel. “Const. Wendy Drummond later refused to confirm any ghostly connections, saying only that the pair was trespassing and exploring the roof-top area.”
“The man crossed from one roof to the other, but a wire the woman was holding onto gave way and she plunged to her death,” reports Perkel. “In January 2001, 50-year-old artist and lecturer David Buller was found stabbed to death in his studio in the building at 1 Spadina Crescent.”
