Ryerson University Theatre School, Toronto

On this site 5 February 1887 the Ontario College of Pharmacy opened its first permanent building which was also the first school of pharmacy erected in Canada, parts of which still stand. It served as a teaching and administrative centre for the profession in Ontario until 1963. Established by Provincial Act in 1871, the College exerted significant influence upon the development of pharmacy in Canada far beyond the borders of the province.

There's much speculation as to who or what is causing some disturbances in this historical building. These are a few encounters that have been conveyed by some of the students (courtesy of TGHRS)

  • Cold spot in north east corner of McAllister Studio on 3rd floor
  • Repeated sightings of what appears to be a white female figure in the hallway located behind the McAllister Studio and the attic above the studio
  • The lights in McAllister studio will turn on and off randomly
  • A vocal music teacher in first year tells how she saw the same white female figure singing in the 3rd floor hallway, and that at same time another member of faculty felt spooked at the other end of the hallway
  • Gusts of wind and scattering of papers when windows were closed in a 3rd floor classroom
  • It is said that cadavers were worked on in what is now McAllister studio, which is what may have started the "morgue" rumor around campus
