Easily one of Toronto's most attractive buildings, since 1829 this imposing building has seen many of Ontario's lawyers and judges wander through its halls. The headquarters of the Law Society of Upper Canada and the seat of the Supreme Court of Ontario, it is rumoured to be haunted by two distinct presences.
One is a group of people who's voices can be heard chattering away in the wee hours in a chamber that is normally left open, but when the voices are heard, the doors shut, seemingly on their own accord. When the doors are opened, the conversation stops and the room is found empty. There are also claims of the apparition of a woman which is seen walking the halls.
There isn't much else I've been able to find about this spot so feel free to let me know anything you might have heard.
Update - January 2007:
The following experience was sent to us via one of our readers:
A few years ago, I visited Osgoode Hall in the late afternoon to use their library in order to search for a patent. However, I did not find what I was looking for so instead I wandered around the place and almost got lost. When I returned back to the library, the lights were turned off and it was dark and all I could see was only the distant door on the other (south) side of the library that was lit by the hallway light. I was at the north door of the library and I had to cross the library to get to the south door in order to find my way out by the way that I came into the building. Thus, I had to cross the dark library. While being somewhere in the middle of the library, I remember hearing footsteps coming towards me from the windows on my right (west side). I looked and it felt like there was someone there looking at me. I thought that I saw someone in the dark there. When I called out "hello" the footsteps suddenly stopped and the person seemed to have disappeared into thin air. I quickly ran to exit the library.
Our thanks to the witness for sharing this experience with us.
