This particular story seems to be a favourite of Colombo's as it is a major part of his book, Haunted Toronto.
At the corner of Manning and Ulster Streets near Harbord stands the Anglican church of St. Mary Magdalene, where there are reports of atype of apparition known as a grey lady. This grey lady was first reported by the late Dr. Healey Willan, church organist and choirmaster, who reported seeing the apparition once while practicing with the doors of the church locked from the inside. He also had a second sighting of the same lady outside the church during a garden party.
Dr. Elmer Iseler, another choirmaster, also saw the apparition outside near the northeast part of the church property. Apparently, the smell of cheap perfume also accompanies the ghost.
