Most Torontonians and 99% of University of Toronto alumni are familiar with the story of Ivan Reznikoff and Paul Diablos, whose fight managed to give U of T one of its most enduring legends and Toronto one of its favourite ghost stories.
Legend has it that during the construction of this gothic revival building, a Russian stone mason named Reznikoff was courting a young lady native to Toronto. Apparently, Mr. Diablos, a Greek mason, was seeing the maid on the side as well. Legend says that Diablos even carved two gargoyles that adorn the university, one an image of Reznikoff (see image above) and another of Diablos, laughing behind his back.

Peterborough Ontario - September 1983
"On a farm in 1983 in the Peterborogh area. It was about 9-9:30pm and dark outside.
We were sitting in the living room when the cattle in the field began to bawl loudly.Being mostly farm or country kids,5 of us decided to check it out ,wondering if dogs or coyotes were bothering the cows and calves.
We had checked the fence line and walked amongst the cows,but couldn't see anything,the cattle were bunched up in the middle of the field and remained agitated,we thought that we check out the barn,but saw nothing there either.
We then stopped just outside the barn to talk and have a smoke before going back into the house.As we were talking the hairs on my head stood up and I had the desire to look up,as I looked up I noticed a large tear dropped shape object hovering about 200 meters over our heads.It was luminous and stationary and remained there for approximately another 30 seconds before it suddenly shot straight up and disappeared from view.
We immediately headed back to the house."
Our thanks to the witness for sharing this experience with us. Peterborough has been the scene of both many UFO reports over the years including reports of cattle mutilations.
