The Soldiers' Tower - University Of Toronto

The Soldiers' Tower is a monument to remind the university community of students and alumni who died during the First World War.

There is a long-standing tale of a ghost of a repairman who fell to his death while polishing the bells in the 1930s. His apparition has been reportedly seen near the tower and strange lights have been occasionally seen coming from the tower windows.

The Soldiers' Tower Committee informed us that this story seems unlikely since the bells, first of all, are not polished, and secondly are situated in a room, the floor of which is about one metre below the lowest bell. Metal mesh covers the windows in the room to prevent birds from flying in, and a person would not be able to fall out. Furthermore, it is possible if people have seen strange lights in the tower at night, that they could be from the interior lighting. So, the ghost story seems inconsistent with the physical layout of the tower.
